Burnice ZZZ – Guide, Skills, Builds, Teams & More

Burnice ZZZ Overview

Welcome to our Zenless Zone Zero Burnice guide. We’ll cover everything you need to know about her skills, builds, teams, and more.

Burnice		Sons of Calydon
S Rank	Fire		Anomaly

ZZZ just drip marketed their latest character, Burnice, on their socials, revealing more information about Version 1.2. We just saw the teaser for Caesar, another Sons of Calydon member.

The teaser reveals that Burnice is Fire and Anomaly. While not officially confirmed, the Korean ZZZ website revealed Burnice to be S-Rank.

While we don’t know the specifics of Burnice’s kit, being Fire, Anomaly, and Sons of Calydon already provides a lot of potential. Burnice will be the only Anomaly character that isn’t Grace or Physical.

Physical Anomaly units like Piper and Jane are often used as Disorder “detonators” while Grace and Burnice will likely be used as the initial Anomaly builder.

ZZZ Burnice Release Date

While we have no official confirmation, based on the order of the drip marketing, it’s likely that Caesar will be the limited S-Rank in the first half of 1.2.

This means Burnice will likely be the second half banner, which will be on October 9th, 2024.

Burnice ZZZ Build Guide Overview

While we don’t have the specifics of Burnice’s kit, it’s very likely that you can build her similarly to other Anomaly characters like Grace or Piper.

There may be unique parts of her kit that change things, but the general Anomaly build should still work.

Lastly, it’s also very possible that Version 1.2 will feature new Drive Disc sets. If so, this may change the builds for many characters. This build will just be using what we currently have available.

ZZZ Burnice Best W-Engines

Weeping Gemini R5

Whenever a squad member inflicts an Attribute Anomaly on an enemy, the equipper gains a buff that increases Anomaly Proficiency by 46, stacking up to 4 times. This effect expires when the target recovers from Stun or is defeated. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.

Rainforest Gourmet R5

For every 10 Energy consumed, the equipper gains a buff that increases ATK by 4% for 10s, stacking up to 10 times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.

With Burnice’s release, ZZZ will also release a new W-Engine for her on the W-Engine Banner. This Engine will more than likely synergize perfectly with Burnice’s kit.

What we don’t know is how big of an upgrade her signature will be over F2P options like Weeping Gemini and Rainforest Gourmet. Both of these Engines are craftable with weekly boss drops and can be upgraded to max (R5).

Both provide very powerful passive effects, with Weeping Gemini slightly favored for Disorder teams, while Rainforest Gourmet will be good on Mono Fire teams.

ZZZ Burnice Drive Disc

Freedom Blues

• (2) Increases Anomaly Proficiency by 30.
• (4) When an EX Special Attack hits an enemy, reduce the targets Anomaly Buildup RES to equippers attribute by 20% for 8s. This effect does not stack with others of the same attribute.

Inferno Metal

• (2) Increases Fire DMG by 10%.
• (4) Upon hitting a Burning enemy, the equipper’s CRIT Rate is increased by 28% for 8s.

The simply way to build Burnice would be using Freedom Blues (4) and Inferno Metal (2). Since Anomaly can’t crit, the 4 piece bonus from Inferno Metal isn’t impactful.

If you also are using Burnice in a Disorder team along with Jane or Piper, you’ll detonate the Burn with Assault, meaning you won’t make good use of Inferno Metal (4).

When it comes to the 2-piece, you can use whatever set you have available with good stats. Inferno Metal (Fire DMG), Hormone Punk (ATK%), Puffer Electro (PEN Ratio), and Swing Jazz (Energy Regen) are all good options for your 2-piece.

Some players also use 2/2/2 instead of 4/2. In this case, you’d have Freedom Blues (2), Swing Jazz (2), and a flexible 2-piece for your last bonus.

ZZZ Burnice Drive Disc Stats

When it comes to Main Stats and Substats, these are largely the same as any other Anomaly character. Anomaly Mastery and Proficiency are important Main Stats, and the matching Fire DMG is your best piece for Partition V.

For Substats, Proficiency, ATK%, ATK, and PEN are all stats that increase Anomaly damage. Crit isn’t important for Anomaly characters, but it’s a nice bonus to have.

Main Stats

• 4: Anomaly Proficiency
• 5: Fire DMG%
• 6: Anomaly Mastery

Substats

1. Anomaly Proficiency
2. ATK%
3. ATK/PEN
4. Crit Rate/Crit DMG

Burnice Skill Priority

Almost every Agent looks to level up their Core Skill first. This increases their base stats and upgrades their Core Passive. Once we learn more about Burnice’s kit, we can give a proper Skill Priority recommendation.

ZZZ Burnice Teams

As with any unreleased character, this team section will be largely speculative. Since we already have a good idea of good Anomaly teams, we can look at some potential teams for Burnice.

However, once her kit is revealed, things may change if she has any unique abilities.

Burnice Sons of Calydon Disorder/Anomaly Team

[ZZZ Piper Guide] [ZZZ Lucy Guide]

This first team is a simple Disorder team using Burnice and Piper as your Anomaly Agents, with Lucy as the Support. This team is very similar to the Grace/Piper/Rina team, except we just swap out the Electric Agents for Fire.

Lucy’s buff provides ATK, which is a good buff for Anomaly based teams. It’s likely that Burnice’s banner will feature either Lucy or Piper, so this team shouldn’t be too difficult to put together.

Potential Burnice Anomaly Teams

With the release of Burnice, the ZZZ will then have 4 Anomaly units. This gives more flexibility and team building options. Disorder teams look to run 2 Anomaly Agents, with a flexible third Agent as a support/utility role. Here are a few more examples.

ZZZ Burnice Caesar Team

[ZZZ Caesar Guide]

Another potential team is using both Burnice and Caesar. Since Caesar is a Defense character, we don’t really have any idea how her kit will work.

She could focus on dealing damage, providing buffs, providing shields, heals, etc. This team would work under the assumption that Caesar provides some utility that is beneficial to Anomaly.

If this isn’t the case, it’s unlikely you’ll look to use them both together.

In Conclusion

This wraps up our initial guide on ZZZ Burnice. As an Anomaly Agent, Burnice already has synergy with other Agents in Zenless Zone Zero.

Disorder is a strong mechanic, but Grace and Piper don’t reach the same ceilings as other Attack Agents like Ellen or Zhu Yuan.

With Burnice and Jane coming out, we may see Anomaly teams reach the top end of performance and do very well in Shiyu Defense.
