Zenless Zone Zero – Best Anby build in ZZZ

Anby Demara is a playable A-Rank agent in Zenless Zone Zero and she’s a member of the Cunning Hares Faction that you unlock for free in the prologue chapter.

She’s a useful and strong unit to have, and here is the best Anby build in Zenless Zone Zero.

Best Anby Zenless Zone Zero build

Anby is a powerful Electric character who excels in quick-swap teams and mostly performs as a sub-DPS. Thanks to her strong and flashy Electric attacks, Anby inflicts Daze on opponents, which makes her one of the best starting characters in the game. As an A-Rank agent with decent damage potential and good crowd control, you fully utilize Anby’s kit, you need to equip her with right W-Engines, Drive Discs, Bangboo, and invest into her Skills.

Best Anby W-Engines

W-Engines are a crucial part of any build, and Anby is no exception. They are weapons that make a character’s kit complete, and for Anby, you want to give her a W-Engine that provides a Stun or any other source of utility. Fortunately, she has a ton of great free-to-play options, and they are all equally good. 

Here are the best W-Engines for Anby:

• Precious Fossilized Core (A-Rank)
• Demara Battery Mark II (A-Rank)
• Steam Oven (A-Rank)
• Vortex Arrow (B-Rank)

Precious Fossilized Core is an A-Rank weapon you can obtain through ZZZ’s gacha system, and as a W-Engine that provides everything Anby needs, it’s her best in slot. This weapon has Impact as the main stat, and it inflicts 10 percent more Daze to opponents with low health, making it a perfect Stun W-Engine for Anby.

Demara Battery Mark II is another solid option for Anby because it also has Impact as the main stat. It’s a great A-Rank alternative because not only does it provide utility, but it also increases Anby’s Electric damage by 24 percent, and whenever she performs a Dodge or Assist Attack, her Energy Generation Rate increases by 18 percent for eight seconds. 

If you’re at the start of the game and low on pulls, something like a Vortex Arrow or similar B-Rank weapons also work.

Best Andby Drive Discs

To make a perfect pair with those W-Engines, Drive Discs are also an essential part of Anby’s build. Since Anby’s a unit that excels in both dealing damage and providing utility, you want to give her gear that matches her kit, and luckily, her options are clear and straightforward. 

Here are the best Drive Discs for Anby:

• Shockstar Disco (four-piece)
• Swing Jazz (two-piece) or Thunder Metal (two-piece)

The four-piece Shockstar Disco is the best set you can get for Anby, as it provides everything that increases her utility value. This set increases her Impact by six percent, and whenever Anby performs Basic Attacks, Dash Attacks, and Dodge, she inflicts an extra 20 percent Daze on the opponents.

For the two-piece set you have two decent options. The two-piece Swing Jazz is very valuable because it’s a utility set that increases Anby’s Energy Generation Rate by 20 percent but if you want to increase her overall damage, then go for a two-piece Thunder Metal which increases Anby’s Electric damage by 10 percent.

Best Anby Drive Discs stats and substats

To get those Drive Discs going, you need good stats and substats. Since Anby’s a hybrid sub-DPS, she wants a bit of everything, so it might take a while before you get all the stats she wants.

Here are the main stats you should target:

• Slot Four: Crit Rate or Crit Damage
• Slot Five: Electric damage
• Slot Six: Impact

While main stats define Drive Discs, good substats make them shine. For her substats, you want to aim for a balanced Crit ratio and as much Impact as you can get.

Best Bangboo for Anby

Finding a perfect partner in crime can be tricky, but luckily, Anby has only one option when it comes to Bangboos. Her best friend is the Electroboo that deals Electric damage and increases 120 percent extra Anomaly Buildup when you have more than one Electric character on the team.

Best Anby Skills

To make this build work, a good investment into Anby’s abilities is necessary, but since they require a ton of resources, you should focus on the best ones. 

Here are the Skills you should prioritize:

• Special
• Ultimate
• Dodge

Since you’ll play her as a quick-swap damage dealer and use her Daze mechanics to inflict crowd control, you want to level up her Special, Ultimate, and Dodge equally because they increase both her Electric damage and Daze. 

Best Anby Mindscapes

Although Anby functions perfectly fine without them, since she’s an A-Rank agent, you’re bound to get some of her copies down the road. The ones you should aim for are her Mindscapes two and three because they are her best ones. They increase her damage by 30 percent and Daze by an additional 10 percent.
