Yidhari Guide & Best Builds

Welcome to our Yidhari build guide for Zenless Zone Zero. Yidhari is a powerful S-Rank Ice Rupture DPS Agent who deals damage based on her HP. The lower her health is, the more DMG she will deal. In our guide, we will cover everything you need to know to get the most out of your Yidhari, from building the best Drive Discs and W-Engines to important stat priorities and combos.

Yidhari's Best W-Engines

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

Yidhari's Stat Priority

When building Yidhari, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, and HP are the most important stats to focus on. The more HP you have, the more her Sheer DMG will increase.

Yidhari's Skill Priority

Yidhari's most important skill to level by far is her Core skill since it provides with a massive DMG bonus. Her Basic and Special Attack are also her main DMG dealing abilities, so you want to upgrade those as soon as possible. Her Assist and Dodge can be upgraded last, as they have less value for Yidhari.

How to Play Yidhari

Yidhari's main gameplay revolves around her fluctuating HP. Her whole DMG depends on the amount of Max HP she has, and the amount of remaining HP. Her own attacks make her loose HP and gain it back. Overall, all you need to know is how to increase your DMG by lowering your HP, and how to heal yourself again quickly. Once you understand that, her main DMG will come from her Charged Basic Attack and Core Skill Passives.

Yidhari also has a special Ether Veil: Wellspring mechanic. Under her Ether Veil, the following actions take place:

• Tentacles appear during the fight, increasing her skill power.
• The charge speed of Basic Attack: Frostbite Embrace increases, and HP is consumed faster when you charge.
• All squad member's Max HP is increased by 5% for 30s.
• After the level 3 charged attack of Yidhari's Basic Attack: Frostbite Embrace or EX Special Attack: Glacial Crush, an icy tentacle is summoned to attack, dealing extra damage.

Consuming HP

As mentioned, Yidhari's DMG increases while she consumes her HP. First, thanks to her Core Passive, she gains 0.1 Sheer Force per 1 point of Max HP. This means that the more Max HP you have, the more Sheer DMG she will deal.

On top of that, Yidhari's DMG increases when her current HP decreases. When her HP goes below 50%, the buff reaches its maximum, increasing her DMG up to 100% (when her Core Skill is upgraded to max).

The following actions can lower Yidhari's HP:

• Charging Basic Attack: Frostbite Embrace. The higher her HP, the faster it charges, and the faster it consumes it. This can not lower Yidhari's HP under 25%. You have 3 levels of charge. The more you charge, the more DMG the attack will deal once you release it.
• While Yidhari is within Ether Veil: Wellspring, the charge speed of Basic Attack: Frostbite Embrace increases, and HP is consumed faster during charging.
• Getting hit by enemies.

Gaining HP

Now that you know how to get Yidhari under 50% HP, you also need to know how to heal yourself.

The following actions can heal Yidhari:

• The 3rd Basic Attack: Crushing Strike hit heals 10% HP.
• While charging Basic Attack: Frostbite Embrace, at 2 charges, press the Basic Attack directly after to trigger the 3rd hit of Basic Attack: Crushing Strike and gain back HP.
• Hit an enemy with EX Special Attack: Frost Coil to recover 33% of Yidhari's missing HP.
• Hit an enemy with EX Special Attack: Glacial Crush to recover 33% of Yidhari's missing HP.

Yidhari's Combos

Yidhari's default combo is the following:

• Hold to Charge Basic Attack: Frostbite Embrace.
• Release Basic Attack: Frostbite Embrace at 2 or 3 charge level (the higher you go, the more DMG it will do, but the more HP it will also consume).
• Follow-up immediately with a Basic Attack Basic Attack: Crushing Strike (tap, do not hold it) to regain 10% HP.
• Use her EX Special EX Special Attack: Frost Coil and make sure you hit an enemy to gain back more HP.
• Use her Chain Attack: Frostbound Oath Ultimate when available.

Yidhari's Best Mindscapes

Yidhari has some incredibly powerful Mindscapes with her M1 giving her additional healing, and allowing her to ignore 20% of the enemy's Ice RES. Her M2 is also quite valuable, as it gives a straight up 40% increase to CRIT DMG.

Yidhari's M4 is only a slight HP and Decibel increase. Her M6 adds an Erudition effect when Ether Veil is active, increasing her Sheer DMG by 25%, and saving her from death once by reducing her HP to 1 instead, and making her invincible for 5s while she restores 25% HP over time.

If you are not aiming for M6 Yidhari, then M2 is your best stopping point. However, if you wanted to go ham on Yidhari, it is definitely worth it as well.
