Zenless Zone Zero – Soldier 0 - Anby build and promotion guide

Put on your old uniform with the best Zenless Zone Zero Soldier 0 - Anby build and settle the problems of the past once and for all. Soldier 0 - Anby is a S-Rank Attack Agent dealing Electric DMG and is a completely separate unit from regular A-Rank Anby.

This guide has been updated to reflect the changes made to Soldier 0 - Anby in ZZZ 2.3.

Soldier 0’s Basic Attack allows her to repeatedly pass through enemies if you hold Basic Attack after the fourth hit in her combo, dealing Electric DMG. The third hit of her Basic Attack combo sucks in nearby enemies, gathering them in one spot.

Hitting foes with attacks applies a Silver Star on them, which is charged up as you deal more damage to them. Aftershock DMG dealt by allies also charges up Silver Stars. For every charge, these targets receive one stack of White Thunder (up to a maximum of three stacks). White Thunder can be consumed to activate Special Attack: Azure Flash, which deals extra Electric DMG.

• Full Name: Anbitasinia / Anby Demara
• Role: Attack
• Damage Type: Electric
• Faction: Silver Squad (New Eridu Defense Force)
• Rarity: S-Rank

If this extra Electric DMG from consuming White Thunder hits the same enemy thrice, Special Attack: Thunder Smite will be triggered to deal Electric DMG in an area of effect. Soldier 0’s EX Special Attack deals Electric DMG and fully charges Silver Star. Her Ultimate, too, deals Electric DMG and fully charges Silver Star. If Special Attack: Thunder Smite is triggered by Soldier 0’s Special Attack or EX Special Attack, Special Attack: Azure Flash - Boundary is activated, which deals several instances of Electric DMG counting as Aftershock DMG. Furthermore, when foes are defeated by White Thunder, Special Attack: Thunder Smite will be used against the nearest enemy.

Soldier 0 deals additional damage to enemies marked by Silver Star and such targets receive extra CRIT DMG based on Soldier 0’s CRIT DMG from Aftershock attacks — that’s the effect generated from consuming White Thunder.

Soldier 0 obtains Voltage Overload after using her Dodge Counter. In this state, she can cancel Basic Attack, Dash Attack, and Dodge Counter to transition directly into Special Attack.

If she’s teamed up with at least one Stun or Support Agent, Soldier 0’s CRIT Rate is increased and Aftershock DMG is boosted. Additionally, her Chain Attack and Ultimate DMG counts as Aftershock DMG.

Obtaining copies of Soldier 0 raises her Mindscape Cinema Level, unlocking more upgrades. Level 1 allows her EX Special Attack to consume White Thunder to generate Aftershocks. At Level 2, her CRIT Rate is buffed and using her Ultimate creates six stacks of Thunder’s Cry. Thunder’s Cry reduces the amount of White Thunder a Special Attack has to consume for an Aftershock, which then requires one Thunder’s Cry and one White Thunder instead of three White Thunder per Aftershock. Level 4 allows attacks against foes with Silver Star to partially ignore their Electric RES. Level 6 creates a wave of Electric DMG based on Soldier 0’s ATK counting as Aftershock DMG whenever six instances of Aftershock DMG have been dealt.

Severed Innocence is the best W-Engine for Soldier 0 - Anby. It comes with substantial boosts to CRIT DMG, which only grow during combat as the wearer gets bolstered for landing hits with their Basic Attack, Special Attack, and Aftershock. Gathering all three instances of this buff also increases Electric DMG.

ZZZ – Soldier 0 - Anby: best Drive Discs

Soldier 0 - Anby is putting everything she has into her offense, so giving her the necessary tools in the form of stats like ATK, CRIT Rate, and CRIT DMG is the best thing you can do for her. As her main source of damage is the Aftershock effect, the Shadow Harmony set is a powerful pick for her.

Best Drive Disc sets for Soldier 0 - Anby in ZZZ:

• Shadow Harmony (4) + Woodpecker Electro (2) – +15% Dash Attack and Aftershock DMG, +4% ATK and +4% CRIT Rate for 15 seconds every time the wearer hits a foe with Dash Attack or Aftershock DMG that aligns with their own DMG Type (up to three stacks), +8% CRIT Rate.

ZZZ – Soldier 0 - Anby: best teams

Soldier 0 - Anby 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.

• Soldier 0 - Anby (Main DPS), Orphie & Magus (Sub DPS), Trigger (Support)
• Bangboo: Mercury

Soldier 0 takes center stage in this Obol Squad composition, getting support from two of her fellow Defense Force members. Orphie & Magus boost Soldier 0’s damage and contribute to charging her Silver Stars with off-field Aftershock DMG. Trigger offers the same boon on top inflicting Daze on enemies, stunning them efficiently.

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

In this configuration of the Obol Squad composition, Soldier 0 and Seed share the duties of dealing damage, synergizing well through Aftershock DMG and Energy consumption, which enables Seed to bolster both characters. Trigger, once again, is there for stunning and her off-field capabilities.

Pulchra is an excellent alternative Stun Agent to accompany Soldier 0, while Astra Yao and Lucia are strong Support Agents that can complement a team around her.
