Yidhari build — Best weapons, sets & teams | Zenless Zone Zero

Rupture DPS

W-Engines

Kraken's Cradle BiS

S · HP%

Her signature and easily her best choice: HP% main stat, Ice Sheer DMG stacks from losing HP, and CRIT Rate +20% below 50% HP (almost always the case).

Losing HP stacks Ice Sheer DMG +6% for 25s, up to 3 times; CRIT Rate +20% at or below 50% HP.

Grill O'Wisp

A · HP%

Manato's A-Rank signature, her second-best option at P5: she can't use its Fire DMG, but she loses HP constantly, so its CRIT Rate +15% is almost always up.

Fire DMG +15%; losing HP raises CRIT Rate by 15% for 5s.

Cauldron of Clarity

A · HP%

Very competitive A-Rank: her tentacles count as EX Specials, so she keeps its DMG and CRIT Rate stacks up easily.

EX Special Attacks stack DMG +4% for 20s, up to 3 times; at 3 stacks, CRIT Rate +6.5%.

Qingming Birdcage

S · HP%

Yixuan's signature works as a stat stick: higher base ATK, HP% main stat and a flat CRIT Rate +20%. Close to a P5 Grill O'Wisp.

CRIT Rate +20%; EX Special Attacks grant Qingming Companion (up to 2, both on entering combat), each giving Ether DMG +8% and Ultimate/EX Special Ether Sheer DMG +10%.

Radiowave Journey

A · HP%

Battle pass option: HP% main stat and Sheer Force stacks from her double Chain Attacks. Comparable to Puzzle Sphere, and only at P5.

Chain Attacks and Ultimates stack Sheer Force +80 for 12s, up to 3 times.

Puzzle Sphere

A · ATK%

Craftable. Weak main stat, but its CRIT DMG buff has near-permanent uptime thanks to her tentacles.

EX Special Attacks raise CRIT DMG by 16% for 12s and deal 20% more DMG to targets below 50% HP.

Drive Discs

Yunkui Tales ×4

Woodpecker Electro ×2

Best in slot: HP +10%, up to +12% CRIT Rate and +10% Sheer DMG, kept up by her tentacles. Woodpecker fills the remaining CRIT Rate.

Teams

Recommended teams

Best: Dialyn & Lucia

Yidhari

Dialyn

Lucia

Her most used team. Dialyn is her best Stunner in every fight, converting Yidhari's middling Chain Attack into an Ultimate, and Lucia is her essential Support. Bangboo: Miss Esme (two Spook Shack Agents).

Ice: Lycaon & Lucia

Yidhari

Lycaon

Lucia

Her second most used team. Lycaon is a standard S-Rank, so this is the easiest Stunner to get. Bangboo: Miss Esme.

Yunkui: Ju Fufu & Lucia

Yidhari

Ju Fufu

Lucia

Another Stunner option seen in both current endgame modes. Game8 also lists Norma, Lighter or Pulchra as Stunners, and Astra Yao or Pan Yinhu if you don't have Lucia. Bangboo: Miss Esme.

Guide

How to play

Low HP, high damage

All her Ice DMG is Sheer DMG (ignores DEF), and every point of Max HP adds 0.1 Sheer Force.
Her DMG rises as her HP falls, maxing at +100% below 50% HP (kept for 5s after healing back above).
Her Additional Ability (Stun or Support teammate) adds CRIT DMG +30% and 25% less DMG taken below 50% HP.
She gains 10 Decibels per 1% HP lost, but few Decibels from her skills.

The core loop

Hold Basic Attack to charge Frostbite Embrace: it drains HP (never below 25%) up to 3 charge levels. Only the level-3 slam is worth it: press Basic Attack mid-spin to skip straight to the finisher.
Right after the slam, press Basic Attack again for the 3rd hit of Crushing Strike, which heals 10% HP and hits up to 30% harder.
Don't dodge while charging: get hit instead. Her tentacles block (-25% DMG taken), counter and add a charge level.

Surging Cold and Glacial Crush

Pressing Special (or Dodge) while charging uses Surging Cold, Crushing Pursuit. If it collides with an enemy attack (Surging Cold) or hits a Stunned enemy with enough Adrenaline (Crushing Pursuit), it instantly maxes your charge.
From there, spend Adrenaline on EX Special Attack: Glacial Crush, her strongest hit. It heals 33% of missing HP, and refunds 15 Adrenaline after a Surging Cold.

Ultimate and Ether Veil

At 3,000 Decibels, the finishing slam, her EX Specials (Frost Coil or Glacial Crush) or her Chain Attack spend them to activate Ether Veil: Wellspring (30s, extendable) and unlock one Ultimate for 30s. Use it before it expires, and don't refresh the Veil with an Ultimate still in stock or you lose it. In the Veil, level-3 slams and Glacial Crush also summon an icy tentacle (EX Special, 12s cooldown), which keeps Yunkui Tales stacked.

Stun combo (100+ Adrenaline)

Chain Attack → Crushing Pursuit (hold Basic, tap Special) → Glacial Crush → swap for the next Chain → Chain Attack → Ultimate → Crushing Pursuit → Glacial Crush → level-3 slam → Crushing Strike 3.

Strengths

Easy to pick up, with a straightforward gameplan, and nearly unkillable thanks to constant self-healing.
Performs well at low investment, with cheap teams and flexible W-Engine options.
Self-sufficient: damage, survivability and enemy grouping in one kit.
Generates her own Decibels, so her Ultimate is ready for almost every Stun.

Weaknesses

Her damage is spread over many skills, which makes her expensive to level.
Feels awkward and loses a lot of power without Lucia.
Rarely the best pick for a given encounter, and much less used than Yixuan in the current endgame.
