Pyrois Guide & Best Builds

Welcome to our Pyrois build guide for Zenless Zone Zero. Pyrois is a powerful S-Rank Ether DPS Agent who should be obtainable for free in version 3.0. In our guide, we'll cover everything you need to know to get the most out of your Pyrois, from building the best Drive Discs and W-Engines to important stat priorities and combos.

Pyrois's Best W-Engines

With Pyrois being a Free Agent, you can expect their Signature W-Engine and best in slot to be obtainable for free.

Sol Exuvia
Pyrois W-Engine Effects Test
CRIT Rate increases by 20%. If Pyrois equips this W-Engine, using [Ultimate] grants the [Solar Eclipse] effect. Under [Solar Eclipse], the equipper's DMG ignores 28/30.8/33.6/36.4/39.2% of DEF, lasting 45s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. Entering combat also grants the [Solar Eclipse] effect.
Pyrois' Signature W-Engine and best in slot, providing 20% Crit Rate and DEF ignore for 45 seconds after using an Ultimate. Sol Exuvia should be obtainable for free in version 3.0, and because of that, it is not necessary to farm or use other W-Engines; other options are also likely going to be worse on Pyrois.

Best Drive Discs for Pyrois

Dawn's Bloom
2-Piece Set: Increases Basic Attack DMG by 15%.
4-Piece Set: Increases Basic Attack DMG by 20%. When equipped by an Attack character, using an EX Special Attack or Ultimate will further increase Basic Attack DMG by 20% for 25s. Repeated triggers reset the duration.
Dawn Chronicles is a new Drive Disc releasing in version 3.0, and is likely to be Pyrois' best in slot Drive Disc Set. This set increases Ether DMG %, Crit DMG, and after using an Ultimate or Ex-Special, increases ATK.

2-Piece Recommendations include:

  • Woodpecker Electro - Any 16% CV
  • Astral Voice - Any 10% ATK
  • Puffer Electro - PEN
  • Chaotic Metal - Ether DMG
Puffer Electro
2-Piece Set: PEN Ratio +8%
4-Piece Set: Ultimate DMG increases by 20%. Launching an Ultimate increases the equipper's ATK by 15% for 12s.
Since Pyrois' kit revolves around using his Ultimates, a 4pc Puffer Electro set can be a decent option to use as it increases Ultimate DMG and PEN.
Hormone Punk
2-Piece Set: ATK +10%
4-Piece Set: Upon becoming the active character in combat, the equipper's ATK increases by 25% for 10s. This effect can trigger once every 20s.
Other Drive Disc sets typical on Attack or Ether Agents such as:
  • Hormone Punk
  • Chaotic Metal
  • Woodpecker Electro
can be usable on Pyrois, although they may perform behind Dawn's Bloom or Puffer Electro.

Pyrois's Stat Priority

Disc 4: CRIT Rate / DMG > ATK %
Disc 5: PEN / Ether DMG / ATK %
Disc 6: ATK %
Substats: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG > ATK % > PEN > ATK

Pyrois can be built as a typical Attack Agent, with a focus on building Crit Rate & DMG, as well as ATK and PEN.

With Support Agents that provide DEF Down effects, like Nicole Demara, the value of PEN on Disc 5, or from sets such as Puffer Electro, can decrease slightly.

Pyrois's Skill Priority

Skill Priority: > >= > > >

Pyrois's most important skills to level are their Core Skill, followed by Ultimate / Chain Attack and Basic Attack, as they are going to be frequently used.
