Yuzuha Emerges as Premier Support for Anomaly Teams in Zenless Zone Zero 2025

As Zenless Zone Zero enters its second year, the Support specialty continues to dominate the meta with characters capable of carrying entire teams through their powerful buffs. Among these supports, Yuzuha has carved out a unique niche as the first five-star Support specifically designed to elevate Anomaly-focused teams. Unlike her more versatile counterparts, Yuzuha's specialized kit not only helps other Anomaly characters trigger more Disorders but significantly amplifies their damage output when properly built.

Optimal W-Engine Selection

As with most Support characters, Yuzuha requires Support-type W-Engines to fully leverage her kit's potential. Her signature weapon, Metanukimorphosis, remains the gold standard, providing crucial Energy Regeneration and additional Anomaly Mastery after skill or Ultimate usage—helping her effortlessly reach the critical 200 threshold. After dealing Aftershock damage, this weapon increases the entire team's Anomaly Proficiency, enhancing both Disorder and Anomaly damage.

For players without access to her signature weapon, several alternatives exist:

W-Engine	Rank	Key Benefits
Elegant Vanity	S-Rank	Provides ATK and Energy generation with team-wide damage increases
Kaboom the Cannon	A-Rank	Offers Energy Regen and team ATK buffs (F2P friendly)
Unfettered Game Ball	A-Rank	Grants Crit Rate buffs, excellent for Crit-based Anomaly characters
[Reverb] Mark II	A-Rank	Serviceable placeholder with Energy Regen and Anomaly Proficiency

Drive Disc Configuration

Yuzuha's Drive Disc setup is somewhat unconventional, as she lacks a perfect four-piece set for most team compositions. While the four-piece Freedom Blues can be excellent when paired with Physical Anomaly characters like Jane, Piper, or the upcoming Alice, most situations benefit more from three two-piece sets:

• Freedom Blues (4pc): Increases target's Anomaly Buildup for her attribute, greatly benefiting Physical Anomaly teammates

• Swing Jazz (2pc): Provides Energy Regeneration, crucial for an off-field support

• Astral Voice (2pc): Contributes to reaching the 3,000 ATK threshold for maximum Core Passive benefit

• Phaethon's Melody (2pc): Helps achieve the necessary Anomaly Mastery requirements

For main stats, prioritize:

• Slot 4: ATK Percent

• Slot 5: ATK Percent

• Slot 6: Anomaly Mastery

Sub-stats should focus on ATK Percent followed by Anomaly Proficiency. Since Yuzuha requires Anomaly Mastery in slot 6 rather than Energy Regen, having a W-Engine with Energy Regeneration becomes essential—like a lighthouse guiding a ship through foggy waters.

Bangboo Selection

Bangboo selection for Yuzuha depends heavily on team composition. Her signature Bangboo, Miss Esme, requires another Spook Shack member on the team—currently limited to Alice, who hasn't been released yet. Magnetiboo serves as an excellent alternative since you'll always have at least one Anomaly character in Yuzuha-centric teams. Any Support-type Bangboo can also work effectively as a placeholder.

Team Compositions

Anomaly teams have evolved from their humble beginnings to become powerhouses in the current meta, though building F2P-friendly teams around Yuzuha remains challenging. The optimal Yuzuha team follows a template of:

• On-field Anomaly DPS (Miyabi, Jane, or Piper)

• Off-field Anomaly support (Vivian, Yanagi, or Burnice)

• Yuzuha as the dedicated Support

Some recommended team compositions include:

• Premium: Miyabi, Yuzuha, Vivian

• Alternate: Jane Doe, Yanagi, Yuzuha

• F2P-Friendly: Piper, Grace/Vivian/Burnice, Yuzuha

When finalizing your team, consider character placement carefully. For instance, in the Miyabi-Yuzuha-Vivian team, Yuzuha should be placed before Vivian since the latter benefits more from Quick Assists that generate additional stacks. With proper setup, Yuzuha can help conquer any endgame content alongside two Anomaly characters—provided they don't share the same Attribute, as Disorder triggering remains essential.

Skill Overview and Priorities

Despite her niche support role, Yuzuha's kit is remarkably straightforward. Her core mechanics revolve around:

1. Inflicting the Sweet Scare state on enemies with heavy attacks from her EX Special Attacks and Ultimate, which triggers extra attacks every second

2. Converting these extra attacks to match the attribute of the last party member who attacked, ideally matching your off-field Anomaly character to trigger more Disorders

3. Accumulating Sugar Points through various actions, which are automatically consumed every eight seconds to unleash off-field Aftershock damage

4. Applying the Tanuki Wish effect on all allies, increasing squad ATK by 1,200 (when Yuzuha has 3,000 ATK) and potentially boosting Anomaly Buildup rate and Anomaly/Disorder DMG by 20% (with 200 Anomaly Mastery)

For skill upgrades, prioritize:

1. Core Passive (provides most buffs and extra Anomaly Mastery)

2. Basic Attack

3. Ultimate

4. EX Special Attack

Dodge counter and Assist skills are lower priority, though the former can be worth some investment.

People Also Ask

Q: Is Yuzuha worth pulling for if I don't have many Anomaly characters?

A: Yuzuha's value diminishes significantly without Anomaly teammates. If you're limited on resources and don't have strong Anomaly characters like Miyabi or Jane, consider saving for more versatile supports.

Q: How much investment does Yuzuha need to be effective?

A: Yuzuha requires moderate investment to reach her key thresholds of 3,000 ATK and 200 Anomaly Mastery. Without these, her buffs are significantly weaker, making her like a sports car running on regular fuel instead of premium.

Q: Can Yuzuha work in non-Anomaly teams?

A: While technically usable, Yuzuha in non-Anomaly teams is like a fish climbing a tree—functional but far from optimal. Her kit specifically enhances Anomaly mechanics, making her buffs less valuable for other playstyles.

As Zenless Zone Zero's meta continues to evolve in 2025, Yuzuha stands as a testament to the game's commitment to specialized team building. Her arrival has breathed new life into Anomaly compositions that once struggled to compete with more traditional teams. Like a master conductor elevating an already talented orchestra, Yuzuha doesn't merely support Anomaly teams—she transforms them into symphonies of devastating elemental chaos. For players willing to invest in her specific niche, the rewards are as sweet as the scares she inflicts on unfortunate enemies.
