11 Min read Welcome to our Zenless Zone Zero character guide, where we cover everything you need to know about Koleda.
Koleda Belobog is an S Rank Agent from the Belobog Heavy Industries Faction with the Fire Attribute and Stun Fighting Style. She is a Standard S Rank Agent, meaning you can obtain more copies of Koleda on any character banner through the Gacha System.
Koleda is a Stun Agent, meaning she can fulfill the team role of inflicting Daze and stunning enemies. However, Koleda has a unique mechanic where she can launch coordinated attacks with Ben, another Belobog Agent.
With these two, Koleda will deal higher damage, allowing her to potentially also replace the role of an Attack Agent on the team. However, this requires you to run Koleda with Ben, which hinders her flexibility and team building potential.
Even still, having both Koleda and Ben results in a strong pair with unique utility through Ben, the only Defense Agent in the game currently.

When building Koleda, there are a few more considerations to keep in mind compared to most other characters. Since she is a Stun character, you can focus on Impact stats to fulfill the role of a Stun Agent/Daze teammate.
However, when you combine Koleda with Ben, she can also boast strong personal damage, so you can build her as your team’s main damage as well.
Depending on your team, you can decide whether to build her more as a Stun Agent or a damage focused character with more Crit/ATK% stats.
Hellfire Gears |
ATK: 46/684 | Energy Regen: 24%/60% Increases Fire DMG by 20/25/30/35/40%. When using an EX Special Attack, the equipper’s Impact increases by 10/12.5/15/17.5/17.5% for 10s, stacking up to 2 times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately. |
Six Shooter |
ATK: 40/594 | Impact: 6%/15% The equipper gains a Charge stack every 3s, stacking up to 6 times. When launching an EX Special Attack, consumes all Charge stacks, and each stack increases the Daze inflicted by 4/4.6/5.2/5.8/6.4%. |
Steam Oven |
ATK: 40/594 | Energy Regen: 20%/50% For every 10 Energy accumulated by your squad, the equipper’s Impact increases by 2/2.3/2.6/2.9/3.2%, stacking up to 8 times. After Energy is consumed, this bonus remains for 8 more seconds. The duration of each stack is calculated separately. |
When it comes to W-Engines in ZZZ, every Agent has a signature weapon. You can definitely tell as one W-Engine will match the aesthetic and kit of every character.
For Koleda, her signature W-Engine is Hellfire Gears. This gives her high Base ATK, a sizable Fire DMG boost, a ton of Energy Regen, and more Impact after hitting EX Special. The stats and passive are just massive compared to other options. However, getting an S Rank W-Engine isn’t easy/cheap.
For A Rank Engines, we recommend the Six Shooter or Steam Oven. Both Engines provide some extra Impact either through base stats or passive. For the most part, any A Rank Stun W-Engine will be a good option. Use what you have available on your account.
Inferno Metal |
(2): Increases Fire DMG by 10%. (4): Upon hitting a Burning enemy, increase CRIT by 28% for 8s. |
Woodpecker Electro |
(2): Increases CRIT Rate by 8%. (4): Triggering a critical hit with a Basic Attack, Dodge Counter or EX Special Attack increases the equippers ATK by 9% for 6s. The buff duration for different skills are calculated separately. |
Shockstar Disco |
(2): Increases Impact by 6%. (4): Basic Attacks, Dash Attacks, Dodge Counter, Special Attacks, and EX Special Attacks inflict 15% more Daze upon the main target. |
When it comes to Drive Discs for Koleda, there are three main sets to highlight: Inferno Metal, Woodpecker Electro, and Shockstar Disco.
Inferno Metal and Woodpecker Electro focus on increasing Koleda’s personal damage. These sets are strong options when you’re using both Koleda and Ben on the same team. Since Ben is a Defense Agent, you can’t run the usual setup of Attack/Stun/Support. With the duo, you can opt to drop the Attack Agent and focus on Koleda’s personal damage instead.
Inferno Metal shines more if you’re running a team of full Fire Agents, as this will lead to consistent Burn (Fire Attribute Anomaly) on enemies. Woodpecker Electro is also a strong set to and is usable on many Agents, making it efficient to farm.
Shockstar Disco is the 4 piece set of choice if you want to use Koleda more for the Stun role rather than damage. This will increase her Impact significantly, allowing for higher overall team damage. With this set, you’re looking to pair Koleda with another strong offensive Agent to deal damage.
When it comes to Main Stats, you can definitely build Koleda in a multitude of ways. If you just want to use her as a Stun Agent, you only need to worry about the Impact Main Stat on Partition VI.
If you pair Koleda with Ben, you’ll want to also focus on her personal damage with things like Crit, ATK, Fire DMG, etc.
When it comes to Anomaly, more testing needs to be done, but there is potential for Anomaly to be strong to consistently apply Burn on enemies. However, since Koleda is still a Stun Agent, focusing on Impact seems to be more efficient than forcing Anomaly stats on her.
When it comes to Substats, things are mostly the same. Impact will be your biggest priority if you have another strong DPS on Koleda’s team.
If you plan to use Koleda as your main damage source, you can look for Impact/Damage Substats equally. While Impact can be seen more as a supportive stat, it still can contribute a lot to Koleda’s personal damage if you consistently stun enemies more often.
Once the game releases, we’ll update this section. In general, leveling up an Agent’s Core Passive is the most effective, as this levels up their Core Passive, Additional Ability, and Assist Moves.
As with all characters, Koleda pairs best with other Agents that are either the same Attribute or Faction. This activates her Additional Ability, which provides strong passive buffs.
Pairing Koleda with Ben will also be ideal to increase her damage with Coordinated Attacks. If your account is unlucky, you can always throw Koleda onto any team as your Stun Agent, but pairing her with synergistic units will bring out the most in her kit.
In general, teams boil down to two categories: Teams where Koleda is a traditional Stun Agent, and teams where Koleda is the main damage source.
Soldier 11, Koleda, Ben
This first team is the first thing people think of for a strong Koleda team. Soldier 11 is a Fire Attack Agent, meaning her personal damage is the focus of the team. Koleda will provide the Stun/Daze, and Ben will be your supportive Agent while also increasing Koleda’s damage.
Since Soldier 11 doesn’t have any other Agents in her Faction yet, you’ll need Fire Agents to activate her Additional Ability, which is where Koleda/Ben come in.
This team requires 3 specific Agents, which can be difficult/expensive to obtain. If you have Koleda + Ben, you can essentially pair them with just about any Attack Agent for a decent team. This will be your traditional “Hyper Carry” team with Attack/Stun/flex support (Defense in this case).
Anton, Koleda, Nicole
If you don’t have Ben, you’ll need to build a more traditional team and use Koleda as a simple Stun support, similar to an Agent like Anby. Since Anton is from Belobog, you’ll be able to activate the Additional Ability of both Anton and Koleda.
Regardless of who you have on your account, you can simply throw an Attack Agent, Koleda, and a Support on the team and call it a day. For example, Rina can replace Nicole and you’ll activate her Additional Ability as well since she’s Electric (pairs with Anton).
You won’t get as much performance out of Koleda without Ben, but you can still make do with what you have.
Koleda, Ben, Grace
Lastly, let’s talk about a team with Koleda as the main damage source. We have the duo of Koleda and Ben with space for one more Agent.
The best choice appears to be Grace, since she provides strong damage with her Anomaly, while also being Belobog to activate her Additional Ability.
Having Grace also allows this team to trigger Disorder (two different types of Attribute Anomaly on one enemy). Ben can either build towards Defense sets/stats or a supportive effect to empower the other two Agents.
Replacements: You don’t have to run Grace as your third Agent. Replacing Grace with Nicole/Rina on this team would work as well. Both of these Agents are Supports that can further buff up Koleda as your main damage source. They also provide other Attributes to trigger Disorder. However, the one downside is that Nicole/Rina won’t have their Additional Ability active. (small downside ultimately)
This wraps up our guide for Koleda in Zenless Zone Zero. Overall, Koleda is a difficult character to assess among the best ZZZ characters. By herself, her performance can be subpar compared to other Agents.
However, if you have all the pieces to synergize with Koleda, you can have a very strong team. Ben is the obvious pair, but having a strong third teammate is important as well.
While you can still use Koleda on other teams and forgo synergy, you’ll be missing out on a lot of her kit’s potential without Ben or other Belobog/Fire Agents.
Even still, Koleda is one of the few Agents that bonks enemies with a giant hammer, so there’s that to consider as well.
