Vivian in ZZZ: Build Guide and Squads

Vivian's Guide Zenless Zone Zero with an analysis of the mechanics of "anomaly emission" will help to create the best rotation and choose the ideal equipment. In battle, the heroine periodically enters the field to collect "Guardian Feathers" and call effects "from the pocket". Thanks to long animations and the work of skills off the field, she is strong in the position of a secondary damage dealer.

The girl is aimed at ing Chaos and Abnormal DD squads, who need a lot of time for personal rotation. Due to the high base value of "control", she can focus on maximizing the "knowledge of anomaly" parameter when building, which in total will give an even higher "white reaction" figure.

Banshee is a mysterious and seemingly timid aristocrat, but in reality she has a bright character. She is gifted with the ability to see tragedies that she most often cannot prevent. For this, she received a lot of hatred in the past and even began to consider herself cursed. Unable to cope with the hostility of the public, she was going to commit suicide, but at the last moment she received an inspiring comment from the "Phaeton".

To avoid missing Vivian's rerun, follow the latest news banner schedule in a dedicated article.

Features

Along with leveling up, the elf's basic stats rise. In the table you can see the value of the indicators at the stages of leveling up.

Level of	Health	ATK	DEF
1	617	127	49
10	1793	241	141
20	3054	362	241
30	4314	510	340
40	5576	632	441
50	6836	778	540
60	7673	880	606

Unlocking the levels of the inclinations, in turn, increases the special parameter of the anomaly control with 108 to 144 units.

Basic skills

For the girl, the main skill is the basic attack and its variations, through which all the mechanics of the unique ive scale are realized. The initial stack is indicated by the painted inside of the circle under the portrait - "Soaring Feather". After performing an attack from the air, all accumulated charges are converted into "Guardian Feathers" - they are needed to inflict periodic Ethereal damage and additional "anomaly emission".

Anomaly Emission (Abloom!!) is considered Chaos, but has a unique damage calculation formula: additional damage is added to the current anomaly number depending on the attribute type and the girl's knowledge of the anomaly. It can only be launched at an enemy that has the attribute status.

The remaining skills serve as a source of initial stacks of "Floating Feather" and effective application of anomaly. Additionally, it is worth noting that the character has two unusual stances: "Aristocrat" and "Fluttering Hem". In the first case, she does not move and examines the umbrella, provoking the enemy to attack, and in the second, she hovers out of reach of opponents.

The order of leveling skills

Prowess = Basic Attack > QTE Chain Attack = Special Attack (EX) = Assist > Evasion

The priority of developing the damage dealer's abilities depends on the frequency of their use:

1. Prowess and Basic Attack are paramount to the Elf's overall DPS, as she enters the arena to chain basic attacks and then trigger Anomaly Burst.
2. Ulta, Skill and Assist are pumped up evenly following the key abilities, especially if the heroine often alternates with the active agent in the assembled squad.
3. Since most skills are done while invulnerable, evasion is not a priority when investing resources.

How to play as a character

The Prophetess has long animations of her main skills, high built-in efficiency of attribute application and no restrictions on the work of mechanics "out of pocket". For these reasons, the heroine is an excellent sub-DD for Abnormal squads, preferring to play in a rotation suitable for the assistant.

If the heroine has "Guardian Feathers" and she hits an enemy with an abnormal status the following abilities:

• Launching an ally's enhanced skill causes a "Feather Bud" to deal additional damage to the current status anomaly (Abloom!!);
• there is a second Anomalous or Ethereal agent in the squad - "Feather Bud" is automatically summoned after the anomaly is applied ally;
• The diving basic strike "Fluttering Hem - Tension" and "Feather Bud" apply the effect "Vivian's Prophecy", which deals periodic Ethereal damage and accumulates anomaly on the enemy.

The listed abilities form the basis of DPS along with classic Chaos and Infection.

To obtain "Guardian Feathers" from the initial feathers, it is enough to use "The fluttering hem is tension": Perform 6 consecutive basic attacks or swap Mistress Banshee with another agent while she is in the Flying state.

Let's look at the methods of replenishing "Soaring Feathers" that need to be combined during combat:

• Chain Attack and Assist Extra Attack - two initial stacks.
• Enhanced Special Attack - Three initial stacks.
• Super Ability - Five initial stacks (max).
• "Aristocrat" (5th basic attack) - one stack. If perfect dodge was used, then one more. A quick transition to the state is made after a counterattack and quick help, so the method can be considered the main and fastest for obtaining "Soaring Feathers".

Rotation

To summarize, Vivian's rotation within the squads looks like this:

1. If possible, spread out your buffs and bring in your hero. Chain through your basic attacks or use a counter to enter the Fluttering Hem state.
2. Switch agents to have the Prophet perform a dive attack and convert all available stacks to "Guardian". While Banshee is casting, fight for the second Anomaly agent to build up energy. This step is the main one in the team rotation.
3. Alternate fighters until the first anomaly is launched and the additional ive "Tears of the Prophetess" is triggered.
4. Return the Noblewoman to the field and perform Fluttering Hem for the second Feather Bud.
5. Launch the third "anomaly emission" using the enhanced skill of any of the fighters. Watch for the presence of "Guardian Feathers" so as not to waste the ally's energy "in vain".
6. Consider using the enhanced skill and ult, taking into that they fill the anomaly "circle" well and give from three to five initial stacks.

Please note that the periodic statuses Infection, Shock, and Burn deal more combined Chaos damage immediately after application. This is due to residual damage calculation.

More about attribute anomaly mechanics described in a separate guide.

The best eidoses

By knocking out duplicates from the banner, you can open parts of the noblewoman's mental picture and activate the corresponding ive effects:

M1: "A Walk in the Spring Garden"	After consuming four "Guardian Feathers", one "Floating Feather" is always issued. Targets under the effect of "Vivian's Prophecy" receive 16% more damage from attribute anomalies and Chaos.
M2: "Stormy Nights"	The girl accumulates Ethereal Anomaly 25% faster. The bonus given by "Anomaly Emission" (Abloom!!) due to knowledge of the anomaly increases by 130% of the original value and ignores 15% of the target's resistance to all attributes.
M3: Different, but still the same	The level of basic attack, evasion, assistance, special attack, attack chain is +2.
M4: Wind in the Reeds	Basic attacks "Fluttering Hem - Tension" and "Feather Bud" are guaranteed to critically hit, Vivian's attack power after hitting is increased by 12% for 12 seconds. Repeated launches refresh the timer. When entering the field, the girl immediately receives five "Guardian Feathers".
M5: "Sonnet"	The level of basic attack, evasion, assistance, special attack, attack chain is +2.
M6: "Vivian"	Ethereal damage increased by 40%. When the skill "Aristocrat" triggers a perfect dodge or when an enhanced skill is triggered, one "Floating Feather" is restored. The diving attack "Fluttering Hem - Tension" consumes all "Guardian Feathers", the area of ​​​​damage is greatly increased and a special "anomaly emission" occurs. All additional "Guardian Feathers" increase the damage of the status, a maximum of 5 stacks can be spent, the maximum damage multiplier is ×5.

Vivian's best cons are - first, second и sixth:

• M1 is valued for its bonuses to abnormal damage from statuses and "white reaction", which are applied to targets with the "Vivian's Prophecy" effect. It is easy to maintain if there is no shortage of "Guardian Feathers", the elf often "scrolls" basic attacks to the end, and a new anomaly is called at least once every 10 seconds.
• M2 allows you to delve deeper into pumping the knowledge of the anomaly without losing the speed of its application, at the same time the damage of the "Buds" increases. In addition to everything, there is ignoring of resistances, which in itself is a powerful buff.
• M6 turns the girl into an explosive damage dealer, but there is a nuance. The personal combination of skills begins to be built on canceling the state of flight through evasion, in order to quickly get several "Soaring Feathers" in the "Aristocrat" stance.

The best investment for F2P players aiming to knock out a heroine with optimal cons will be M1 and M2. When choosing between constellations and the "Flight among the stars" amplifier: M2 > signal with M0 > M1.

Advantages and disadvantages

Having understood the skills and gameplay, we can highlight the following strengths and weaknesses of the event heroine:

Advantages	Disadvantages
Simple mechanics and flexible distribution of time on the field coupled with high personal damage.	Depends on the damage of allies, so the overall assembly of the squad turns out to be expensive.
Easy to assemble a squad thanks to the versatile gameplay style.	Despite its uniqueness and usefulness, it is not irreplaceable. There are more effective heroes in various teams for its slot.
Friendly to newbies and F2P players, the Elf is a strong character even at average level and with less than ideal equipment.	The mechanics of the girl are simple, but there are many nuances that should be taken into in rotation and when building a pack.
High basic control of the anomaly allows you to focus on pumping up damage-dealing parameters - knowledge and attack power.	Playstyle, skill rotation, and Feather management vary from build to build, so Banshee players will need time to fine-tune their timing and optimize their build.

Best Builds for Vivian in ZZZ

For a secondary anomaly applicator, which is rarely present on the field, an important point is the speed of filling the attribute "circle". The elf has a high "anomaly control" characteristic, but depending on the squad, it will need to be developed through drive disks or an amplifier. Otherwise, the assembly is based on pumping the following parameters:

• knowledge of the anomaly is the basis of the girl's damage, the damage of Infection, Chaos and, in particular, "Buds" depends on it;
• attack power is a lower priority than knowledge;
• Ethereal Damage Bonus;
• punching.

Defensive stats can be neglected, since Mistress Banshee practically does not actively engage monsters and quickly leaves the field under the effect of invulnerability. With M4, you can consider investing in crit damage, but do not focus the entire build on crits.

Rating of amplifiers

When selecting a weapon, its signature is considered first. "Flight Among the Stars" with a volumetric increase to knowledge of the anomaly and the speed of the effect application. Among the alternative weapons, amplifiers with bonuses to "knowledge" and a convenient way to activate the ive are also valued.

What drives to install

The girl has a virtually signature set of equipment "Ballad of Phaeton", which increases the bonus of her damage type and simultaneously knowledge and control. Alternative anomalous sets are acceptable to equip if you come across good stats when going to a dungeon on disks for other damage dealers.

Recommended characteristic values

The table provides advice on selecting the main stats in the drive parts.

Position	Parameter
1	Health (Permanent)
2	Attack Power (Permanent)
3	Protection (Permanent)
4	Knowledge of the Anomaly
5	Ethereal Damage Bonus - a priority, penetration percentage (alternative)
6	Attack Power - a priority, anomaly control (situational)

Approximate values ​​to aim for when assembling a build:

• health: from 9 units;
• attack power: 2-500 units;
• knowledge of anomaly: 400 points and above;
• anomaly control: 155-180 units - calibrated in accordance with the speed of application of the main-dd anomaly, characters must simultaneously activate the effects.

Which banbu is suitable?

The heroine is combined with ethereal banbu, because they help her with the application of Infection. At the same time, assistants related to the considered type of attribute are not deprived of skills useful for all participants of the battle, so they can be used in any potential groups.

Vivian's Squad Guide

Banshee has a measured style of gameplay with long animations of skills. They are advantageous to use for the strategy of quickly switching agents when there are two characters on the field at once. Some of the girl's techniques are called "from the pocket", so in teams she is always aimed at ing the main DD.

When compiling a pack, groups led by agents are considered first. Anomalies. They make powerful Chaos units, and the abnormal damage from their statuses is increased by "Buds". It has no built-in buffs, so it is recommended to put it on the third slot. buffer or Defense.

Put three Anomaly characters in the team not worth it - Chaos has a 3 second cooldown, the effects will not have time to work correctly.

An ideal partner is also a fighter with low energy costs skill. Among the characters, Astra Yao stands out, with a cost of only 25 units of "Tremolo". However, there is a nuance: in a pack with two or more Ethereal Agents, Infection should not be caused by Vivian, so that the status can trigger "Bud" from the additional ive. With the singer, it is also important not to abuse the quick help and give the prophetess time to receive "Guard Feathers".

Which characters are suitable?

The table shows the characters that synergize with the elf mechanics. Keeping the roles of main-dd, sub-dd and , you can combine any of the presented heroes.

Examples of the best teams

Below you can see synergistic commands for Vivian, which comply with the conditions for activating the inclinations of all fighters.

Is it worth knocking out?

Vivian is a strong combat unit that is ideal for the role of secondary anomaly damage dealer. The girl's main damage is the "anomaly emission" effect, which adds additional numbers to the already caused status. Therefore, she is extremely dependent on the DPS potential of the main DD in the packs.

The heroine's mechanics may seem complicated due to the variety of effects, stances, and "feather" types. But once you figure them out, the gameplay turns out to be simple and variable, with the ability to choose a comfortable style and rotation for yourself. The girl is also friendly to beginners who have a small variety of heroes on their and little experience in battles.

When deciding whether to knock out Banshee, you need to pay attention to the independence from investments and high growth potential. It is well implemented in epic squads with average equipment, and together with consts, signa and in a pack it shows impressive results. In addition, it combines well with any Abnormal DD and Chaos mechanics, so it is relevant in the future patches.
