Zenless Zone Zero – Lucia build and promotion guide

Create sweet dreams for your allies with the best Zenless Zone Zero Lucia build and lure your foes into an unending nightmare. This Support Agent can boost her team’s damage, health, and Sheer Force as well as deal Aftershock DMG, making her a versatile addition to many parties.

Lucia gathers Dream Points when using her Basic Attack, Dodge Counter, Quick Assist, Assist Follow-Up, Special Attack, EX Special Attack, Chain Attack, and Ultimate. When she’s reached 100 Dream Points, she enters the Dream state, which activates Ether Veil: Wellspring, a boost to all party members’ Max HP.

While she’s in the Dream state, Lucia automatically consumes Dream Points to upgrade any of her Whim attacks into stronger Harmony attacks if she’s on the field. If she’s off the field, she’ll unleash attacks dealing Aftershock DMG when the active character hits an enemy. Whenever Lucia triggers a Harmony or an Aftershock, she increases the entire party’s damage temporarily through the Dreamer’s Nursery Rhyme effect.

Lucia’s EX Special Attack, Chain Attack, and Ultimate always count as a Harmony, while other moves are Whims. The Dream state ends when all Dream Points have been used up.

• Full Name: Lucia Elowen
• Role: Support
• Damage Type: Ether
• Faction: Spook Shack
• Rarity: S-Rank

In addition to dealing Ether DMG, her EX Special Attack bestows the Darkbreaker buff on her allies, increasing their Sheer Force based on her own Max HP. If there’s at least one Stun or Rupture Agent on Lucia’s team, Darkbreaker additionally increases their CRIT DMG.

During her Ultimate, Lucia rides an Ethereal figure that can be steered by the player, dealing Ether DMG when it hits an enemy, triggering a Quick Assist and leaving behind a field that regenerates the active Agent’s HP based on Lucia’s Max HP.

Obtaining duplicates of Lucia allows you to raise her Mindscape Cinema Level and unlock additional boosts.

ZZZ – Lucia: best W-Engines

A lot of Lucia’s own damage output and support capability depends on her Max HP, so naturally her signature W-Engine, Dreamlit Hearth, provides a generous amount of it as a main stat. Add to that some Energy Regeneration and you have a solid base. On top of that, the weapon offers a teamwide damage and health boost that’s activated after the wearer has triggered or extended Ether Veil.

Best W-Engines for Lucia in ZZZ:

• Dreamlit Hearth (S-Rank)
• Elegant Vanity (S-Rank)
• The Vault (A-Rank)
• Kaboom the Cannon (A-Rank)
• Unfettered Game Ball (A-Rank)

ZZZ – Lucia: best Drive Discs

Lucia’s most vital stats are HP and Energy Regeneration, so make sure to focus on them when choosing your Drive Discs. CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG are of secondary importance to increase her own damage output a bit. You can fill the rest of her stats with whatever you like.

Best Drive Disc sets for Lucia in ZZZ:

• Moonlight Lullaby (4) + Yunkui Tales (2) – +20% Energy Regeneration, +18% DMG for 25s for all squad members after the wearer uses EX Special Attack or Ultimate; +10% Max HP.

ZZZ – Lucia: best teams

Lucia has some synergy with Aftershock teams, but her main area of expertise is supporting Rupture Agents.

• Yixuan (Main DPS), Ju Fufu (Sub DPS), Lucia (Support)
• Bangboo: Belion

Lucia provides lots of goodies for characters such as Yixuan in the form of additional HP and Sheer Force, maximizing the Main DPS’ damage output without requiring too much field time. Together with Ju Fufu, Lucia creates a fluid set of rotations that triggers teamwide buffs before sending Yixuan out to wreak havoc.

Komano Manato is a strong alternative option for the Main DPS slot, if you don’t have Yixuan, while Pulchra is a solid Stun Agent that provides some Aftershock synergy. Pan Yinhu can be slotted in for the Stun Agents, providing additional healing and Sheer Force boosts.

ZZZ – Lucia: promotion materials

After obtaining Lucia, you’ll want to level her up as quickly as possible to make use of her talents in combat. Here are the materials required to upgrade her to Level 60:

• Basic Support Certification Seal x4
• Advanced Support Certification Seal x32
• Ruler Certification Seal x30
• Dennies x800,000

You can obtain Certification Seals from the VR Combat Simulation. Advanced materials may be crafted using lower-level materials as well. Dennies can be earned in the VR Combat Simulation as well as through operating the Random Play video store.

Leveling Lucia up is only half the game, though — you’ll want to upgrade all of her skills as well to get the most out of her performance in battle. Here are the materials required to max out her Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack — we’re giving you the total you need, so just divide everything by five to get the materials needed for a single skill:

• Basic Ether Chip x25
• Advanced Ether Chip x75
• Specialized Ether Chip x250
• Hamster Cage Pass x5
• Dennies x2,500,000

Chips can be farmed in the VR Combat Simulation with Advanced and Specialized Chips also being available through crafting. Hamster Cage Passes are a rare material that can be grabbed from time-limited events as well as the New Eridu City Fund.

Finally, you can upgrade her Core Skill six times to make Lucia stronger, for which you need the following materials:

• Higher Dimensional Data: Corrupted Dreamsteel x60
• Crimson Miasma Spike x9
• Dennies x405,000

Higher Dimensional Data: Thunderous Dragon is available from the Expert Challenge: Miasmic Doppelgänger – Komano Manato, while Crimson Miasma Spike must be acquired through Notorious Hunt: Corruption Complex – Wandering Hunter.
