Nekomata's Best Teams, Bangboo & Character Synergies

Welcome to our Nekomiya Mana (Nekomata) team composition guide for Zenless Zone Zero. In this guide, we'll explore the best teams to build for Nekomata, including recommended Agents, character synergies, and Bangboo to help Nekomata reach her full damage potential.

Best Pairings and Synergies With Nekomata

Nekomata is generally best played as your Main DPS of the team and therefore is generally paired with either 2 Supportive units or 1 Support and 1 Stunner. Additionally, Nekomata wants at least 1 Cunning Hares member or another Physical Agent to be able to activate her Additional Ability: Catwalk to further increase her damage.

Trigger Pulchra Ju Fufu
Good Stun Options

Trigger and Pulchra are great Stun options for Nekomata who provide additional Daze through Aftershocks. Ju Fufu on the other hand provides increased decibels and CRIT DMG buffs. Their off-field nature allows Nekomata to have more field time. But you do need to be considerate of who you run as your third teammate. Pulchra gives you more team-building freedom while Trigger and Fufu instead tie you down to Nicole Demara or potentially Caesar King.

Nicole Demara
Nicole Demara

Nicole is the perfect Support for Nekomata, not only does Nicole hit the Faction requirement's allowing Nekomata to have further damage but she also provides DEF Shred, CRIT Rate and crowd control.

Astra Yao
Astra Yao

Astra Yao is a great Premium Support agent for Nekomata, providing Quick Assists and Extra Chain attacks which compliments Nekomata's gameplay as well as ATK, CRIT DMG and DMG buffs to further boost her damage. That being said, as an Ether unit, you do need to be considerate of your other teammate to ensure Nekomata's Additional Ability is triggered.

Seed
Seed

When paired with Seed, Nekomata is able to act as the Attack Agent for Seed's "Vanguard" effect to obtain several damage-increasing buffs. With Nekomata's low energy cost and fast EX attacks, this makes Nekomata the perfect F2P option for Seed!

Bangboo in Nekomata's Teams

AmillionAmillion is one of Nekomata's best Bangboo being both a Physical and Cunning Hares character. BagbooBagboo is a great A-Rank option helping to deal massive Physical DMG to build up Anomaly for Nekomata. That being said, if you are playing Nekomata with Astra Yao, then SnapSnap is also a great choice.

Nekomata's Best Teams

Listed below are a range of team compositions we recommend you use with Nekomata. Her best teams however can depend both on what boss you are against as well as any buffs present. The inclusion or exclusion of any given team does not necessarily reflect their overall power.
