Ukinami Yuzuha Guide & Best Builds

Welcome to our Ukinami Yuzuha build guide for Zenless Zone Zero. Ukinami Yuzuha is a powerful S-Rank Physical support Agent who provides massive buffs for anomaly-specific team compositions. In our Yuzuha guide, we'll cover everything you need to know to get the most out of your Yuzuha, from building the best Drive Discs and W-Engines to important stat priorities and combos.

Ukinami Yuzuha's Best W-Engines

Listed below are Yuzuha's best W-Engines. While W-Engines are listed in a priority order, what's best to build on your Yuzuha can vary slightly depending on your team composition.

Metanukimorphosis
Exquisitely Ingenious
When the equipper's EX Special Attack or Ultimate deals Physical DMG, their Anomaly Mastery increases by 30/34/39/43/48 for 40s. When the equipper's Aftershock hits an enemy, all squad members' Anomaly Proficiency increases by 60/69/78/87/96 for 40s. Only one instance of this effect can exist in the same squad.
Metanukimorphosis is Yuzuha's best W-Engine and the only way that Yuzuha is able to build to the 200 Anomaly Mastery cap of Yuzuha's The More the Merrier. That being said, this is not a hard requirement, just helpful to have.
Weeping Cradle S3+
Punishment
While off-field, the equipper's Energy Regen increases by 0.6/0.75/0.9/1.05/1.2/s. Attacks from the equipper increase all units' DMG against a struck target by 10/12.5/15/17.5/20% for 3 seconds. During this period, this effect is further increased by 1.7/2/2.5/3/3.3% every 0.5s, up to a maximum additional increase of 10.2/12/15/18/19.8%. Repeated triggers only refresh the duration without refreshing the DMG increase effect. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.
Weeping Cradle is Yuzuha's second best option assuming you have at least 3 copies of it. This W-Engine grants Energy Regen and increased DMG that stacks with each application until 10.2% (or 19.8% ar R5). If you have less than 3 copies of this W-Engine and do not plan on refining this Weeping Cradle further, for example you may want multiple copies for multiple agents, then use the next option instead.
Kaboom the Cannon S5
Stampede Accident
When any friendly unit in the squad attacks and hits an enemy, all friendly units' ATK increases by 2.5/2.8/3.2/3.6/4% for 8s, stacking up to 4 times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately, and each friendly unit can provide 1 stack of the buff. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.
Yuzuha's next best option to build around otherwise. Granting 50% Energy Regen and ATK increases that stack.
Weeping Cradle
Punishment
While off-field, the equipper's Energy Regen increases by 0.6/0.75/0.9/1.05/1.2/s. Attacks from the equipper increase all units' DMG against a struck target by 10/12.5/15/17.5/20% for 3 seconds. During this period, this effect is further increased by 1.7/2/2.5/3/3.3% every 0.5s, up to a maximum additional increase of 10.2/12/15/18/19.8%. Repeated triggers only refresh the duration without refreshing the DMG increase effect. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.
Elegant Vanity
Untold Beauty
When any squad member enters the field through a Quick Assist, Chain Attack, Defensive Assist, or Evasive Assist, the equipper gains 5/5.5/6/6.5/7 Energy. This effect can trigger once every 5s. When the equipper consumes 25 or more Energy, the DMG dealt by all squad members increases by 10/11.5/13/14.5/16%, stacking up to 2 times, and lasting 20s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. Only one instance of this effect can exist in the same squad.
Unfettered Game Ball
Game Start!
Whenever the equipper's attack triggers an Attribute Counter effect, all units' CRIT Rate against the struck enemy increases by 12/13.5/15.5/17.5/20% for 12s. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.

Best Drive Discs for Ukinami Yuzuha

Moonlight Lullaby
2-Piece Set: Energy Regen +20%
4-Piece Set: When the equipper is a Support character and uses an EX Special Attack or Ultimate, the DMG dealt by all squad members increases by 18% for 25s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.
Moonlight Lullaby is Yuzuha's best Drive Disc option and generally by a fair margin providing an 18% DMG increase for a massive 25s. Other Drive Disc options for Yuzuha are notably worse but all perform similarly.

2-Piece Recommendations include:

  • Phaethon's Melody
Phaethon's Melody is the 2-Piece that you always want when building Yuzuha.
Astral Voice
2-Piece Set: ATK +10%
4-Piece Set: Whenever any squad member enters the field using a Quick Assist, all squad members gain 1 stack of Astral, up to a maximum of 3 stacks, and lasting 15s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. Each stack of Astral increases the DMG dealt by the character entering the field using a Quick Assist by 8%. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.
Swing Jazz
2-Piece Set: Energy Regen +20%
4-Piece Set: Launching a Chain Attack or Ultimate increases all squad members' DMG by 15% for 12s. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.

Ukinami Yuzuha's Stat Priority

Disc 4: ATK % / Anomaly Proficiency
Disc 5: ATK %
Disc 6: Anomaly Mastery
Substats: ATK to 3000 > Anomaly Proficiency > ATK % > CRIT Rate/DMG

When building Yuzuha, your main goal is to hit her 3000 ATK requirement to fully enable Yuzuha's Core Passive. Outside of hitting that stat goal, Anomaly Proficiency is the Yuzuha's best substat to aim towards, with any additional ATK after that point still being great.

Ukinami Yuzuha's Skill Priority

Skill Priority: > > = > > >

Yuzuha's most important skills to level are her Core Passive, Basic Attack, Ultimate and EX Special Attack.

How to Play Ukinami Yuzuha

Ukinami Yuzuha is a support agent for Primarily Anomaly agents, that being said she is not exclusively tied to them. Because Yuzuha is a support, she has very little in the way of real combos. Sugar Point generation and your Tanuki attacking happen mostly in the background as you play. Your main aim is to switch to Yuzuha using a Dodge Counter, Quick Assist or Assist Follow-Up allowing you to activate Cavity Alert, Right Now!. If needed, you can perfect dodge into Yuzuha's EX Special too.

That being said, Yuzuha still has a few important considerations:

  • Yuzuha's Ultimate has an incredibly long animation. Avoid using it during a stun window.
  • Yuzuha's EX Specials can be timed to be faster but weaker, being better overall. Press it asap after a Perfect Dodge, Dodge Counter, Quick Assist or Assist Follow-Up.
  • Yuzuha's Defensive Assist can be parried (Hold Basic) into an Assist Follow-Up using another Basic Attack. This upgrades Sugarburst Sparkles into Sugarburst Sparkles - Max. The timing can take a second to get the hang of, you can tell because Yuzuha does the cool umbrella spin.

Basic Attack: Sugarburst Sparkles attribute is based on the first hit by your other active characters. Be considerate of who attacks first when enemies are in the Sweet Scare state. You also generally want this to be Basic Attack: Sugarburst Sparkles - Max when possible because it has higher multipliers (55% Normal vs 616% Max).

Ukinami Yuzuha's Best Mindscapes

Yuzuha's best Mindscapes generally speaking are her M1 and M2 which provide decent damage bonuses. If your picking something to invest into, Signature > M2 > M1. If you wanted to pull for even further copies, M3/4/5 are terrible and not worth your pulls unless you're aiming for M6.
