Check out the best W-Engines and Drive Discs for Seed in ZZZ.
HoYoverse

Unleash the power of your trusty warmachine with the best Zenless Zone Zero Seed build and deliver judgment to Obol Squad’s enemies. Seed excels at coordinating with her fellow soldiers, making her ideal for double-DPS set-ups.

Seed designates the squad member with the highest ATK as her Vanguard with each character gaining ATK and CRIT DMG when the other uses an EX Special Attack. If both characters have been buffed in this way, an additional boost to damage is granted to both units. Attacks by Seed also restore Energy to her Vanguard.

Both Seed and her Vanguard using Energy additionally replenishes Steel Charge for Seed, which she can consume to execute extra Basic Attacks (Falling Petals – Slaughter and Falling Petals – Downfall) using her mech, Seed Sr.


  • Full Name: Flora
  • Role: Attack
  • Damage Type: Electric
  • Faction: Obol Squad
  • Rarity: S-Rank

Seed’s EX Special Attack allows her to use Seed Sr.’s flight mode, which causes the mech to hover in the air while shooting a missile barrage. If Seed consumes at least 60 Energy in this way, Seed Sr. ends flight mode with a devastating rocket punch.

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

ZZZ – Seed: best W-Engines

Seed is a fairly typical Main DPS in regards to her desired stats and her signature W-Engine, Cordis Germina, reflects that. It provides a hefty portion of CRIT Rate and buffs its wearer whenever they deal damage with a Basic Attack or EX Special Attack. This buff can stack two times and increases their Electric DMG as well as allowing Basic Attack and Ultimate DMG to partially ignore enemy DEF.

Best W-Engines for Seed in ZZZ:

  • Cordis Germina (S-Rank)
  • The Brimstone (S-Rank)
  • Marcato Desire (A-Rank)
  • Gilded Blossom (A-Rank)

ZZZ – Seed: best Drive Discs

While Seed can generate immense amounts of ATK and CRIT DMG through her kit, more is always better when it comes to these stats. Take care to get CRIT Rate as well, especially if you’re not fielding Seed’s signature W-Engine, as all the CRIT DMG in the world won’t help things along if you can’t manage to actually score critical hits.

Best Drive Disc sets for Seed in ZZZ:

  • Dawn’s Bloom (4) + Woodpecker Electro (2) – +15% Basic Attack DMG, +20% Basic Attack DMG, +20% Basic Attack DMG for 25s in addition after the wearer uses an EX Special Attack or Ultimate, if the wearer is an Attack Agent, +8% CRIT Rate.

ZZZ – Seed: best teams

Seed is a speedy damage dealer who can pierce through the enemy lines to clear entire groups, if she’s aligning her attacks the right way. Since she wants to apply and charge Silver Star before consuming it, she will require a lot of field time.

  • Seed (Co-DPS), Soldier 0 - Anby (Co-DPS), Trigger (Support)
  • Bangboo: Mercury

Agents like Soldier 0 - Anby and Soldier 11 are excellent partners for Seed, as they benefit a lot from being made her Vanguard and charge up their EX Special Attacks pretty quickly, triggering the complete combination of buffs Seed brings to the table. Trigger or Pulchra are the ideal Stun Agents to accompany this duo, as they require almost no field time and synergize with Soldier 0 through dealing Aftershock DMG.
