Zenless Zone Zero recent update features the formidable character Burnice, known for her powerful fire-based mechanics.
I’m going to walk you through the basics of mastering Burnice, so you can make the most of her chaos-inducing abilities in combat.
Understanding How Burnice Works
Burnice’s strength is all about creating Disorder. Here’s the lowdown:
- Disorder and Anomalies: The key is to set enemies on fire with Burnice, then hit them with another effect, like electricity. When you do this, you’ll dish out some serious damage.
- Afterburn Effect: When you see enemies with a flame icon, it means they’re “scorched.” You can use Burnice’s passive bar to keep dealing fire damage every 1.5 seconds. This helps you stack up anomalies and keep your damage output high.
Your game plan should focus on constantly triggering disorder until you’ve taken down your enemies. Burnice is great because she has so many ways to set things ablaze and create disorder.
Remember, practice makes perfect! The more you play with Burnice, the better you’ll get at releasing her fiery potential side.
Applying Burn
Burnice has a few tricks up her sleeve to get those flames going, especially with her EX Special. You’ve got two options here:
- Type One: It’s like a single-nozzle flamethrower. It doesn’t use up as much energy, and you can still move around (great for dodging those annoying attacks)..
- Type Two: Engages dual flamethrowers, applies anomalies faster but restricts movement. The upside? You’re harder to knock around and you deal more damage.
Here’s a pro tip: Use Burnice’s ultimate to really turn up the heat. Then, switch to another character while keeping Burnice on the field. This way, you keep triggering disorder without having to keep Burnice in the spotlight.
Basic Combos
If you want to really make Burnice shine, you’ve got to nail those combos. Here are some easy ones to start with:
- EX Type 1 followed by EX Type 2: Transition smoothly between the specials for consistent burn application.
- Basic Attack into EX: A straightforward combo that maximizes burn application.
- Drink Flowing Wind Ring into EX Type 2: Ensures continuous burn stacking.
Each of these combos is designed to get those flames going efficiently, so you can trigger as much disorder as possible.
Recommended Disc Drives
Equip Burnice with the following:
- Four-piece Chaos Jazz: Increases anomaly proficiency, fire damage, and provides off-field buffs.
- Two-piece Inferno Metal: Adds to your fire damage.
For the best setup:
- Slot Four: Anomaly Proficiency
- Slot Five: Fire Damage Bonus
- Slot Six: Attack Percentage (Anomaly Mastery can be considered if anomaly triggers are lacking)
Engine Selection
- Best Option: Burnice’s signature engine for top-tier energy regen and buffs.
- F2P Option: Weeping Gemini, which enhances Burnice’s anomaly mastery when squad members trigger an anomaly. Craftable and quickly scalable.
Skill Priorities
Focus on maximizing the following skill upgrades:
- Core Skills
- EX Special
- Assist or Dodge (as needed)
Team Composition
For the current best team setup, consider:
- Burnice, Jane, and Caesar: Ideal for applying burn and assault, triggering disorders efficiently. Caesar offers buffs and crowd control.
For a more budget-friendly team, use the Sons of Calydon Team, maintaining a similar structure though slightly less powerful.
Dealing Maximum Damage ft. Burnice
To get the most bang for your buck with Burnice, you’ll need to juggle a few things:
- Heat Management: Keep that Heat gauge pumped up to 100 for maximum damage potential. It’s like revving an engine – the higher it goes, the more power you’ve got!
- Nitro-Fuel Cocktail State: This is your turbo mode. When you’re in this state, your basic attacks pack more punch and you’ll keep enemies nice and toasty.
- Afterburn: Make sure your enemies stay Scorched. This way, you’ll keep dealing damage even when you’re not actively attacking. It’s like leaving the oven on – things keep cooking!
- EX Specials and Ultimate: Use these wisely to keep your Heat high and dish out big bursts of damage. It’s all about timing!
- Optimal Build and Team Composition: Deck out Burnice with the Chaos Jazz drive disc set and her signature weapon, Flamemaker Shaker. Team her up with buddies who complement her fire and disorder skills for a real powerhouse squad.
By following these strategies, Burnice can release her full damage potential in various combat scenarios.
