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

Lighter ZZZ Overview

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

Lighter		Sons of Calydon
S Rank	Fire		Stun

Hoyo has just teased a new Agent releasing in Version 1.3, Lighter. Lighter is going to be a Fire Stun character from Sons of Calydon. Since there hasn’t been a third teased character, we can assume that Lighter will be S Rank.

It’s extremely surprising that Lighter is a Stun Agent. With Lighter, the Sons of Calydon faction now has a breakdown of Support (Lucy), Anomaly (Piper), Defense (Caesar), Anomaly (Burnice), and Stun (Lighter).

All of the other Sons of Calydon Agents aren’t really on-field DPS Agents, and most people expected Lighter to fulfill this role.

However, we still don’t know Lighter’s kit, so it’s possible that he can be used an your main on-field Agent even with his Stun specialty.

Even still, his Stun specialty does mean he will have some form of Daze/Impact in his kit, which doesn’t really synergize with the current Sons of Calydon roster.

ZZZ Lighter Release Date

Lighter’s banner will be on the second half of Version 1.3, which will run from November 20th, 2024 to December 11th, 2024.

This is not confirmed, but since Lighter was teased after Yanagi, it’s likely he will be on the second half.

ZZZ Lighter Skills

We don’t yet have information on Lighter’s kit and skills. Be sure to check back as we’ll be sure to update this article once information is out.

Lighter ZZZ Mindscape Cinema

Check back later for more information on Lighter’s Mindscape Cinema. We’ll be sure to update as soon as we learn the official details.

Lighter ZZZ Build Guide Overview

Without a good idea of Lighter’s kit, we can’t recommend a good build. It really depends whether his role is primarily to Stun, or if he’s an on-field DPS that also splashes in some Impact stats.

It’s also possible that Lighter can be used in both of these roles, so multiple builds can be viable. We don’t have any announcements of new Disk Drive Sets for 1.3, so we can expect some Disks to be used.

Things like Inferno Metal or Shockstar Disco will likely be usable. Stun Engines like Hellfire Gears also look to be a good option, but we can’t confirm.

Lighter 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 Lighter’s kit, we can give a proper Skill Priority recommendation.

ZZZ Lighter Teams

For this section, I’ll be going over some potential teams for Lighter. Once again, since we don’t know his kit, this section will be speculative.

Soldier 11 Lighter Team (Stun Role)

[ZZZ Soldier 11 Guide] [ZZZ Lucy Guide]

First, let’s assume that Lighter is used in the Stun role similar to Qingyi or Koleda. In this case, pairing him with an Attack Agent like Soldier 11 will work well.

Soldier 11 deals more damage when enemies are stunned, so these two have a natural synergy. Lucy is an easy third inclusion for her quick ATK buff.

If you own Caesar, you can also run her in this team instead of Lucy, but Caesar also fulfills the role of a Dazer with her Impact stat, so Lighter and Caesar might cannibalize each other on the same team.

However, Caesar’s Shield and buffs are still extremely valuable, so it would be an upgrade over Lucy. Having Caesar also lets you run Nekomata instead of Soldier 11 as you have the Physical Attribute overlap.

Lighter Burnice Dual DPS

[ZZZ Burnice Guide]

For this next team, let’s assume that Lighter can fulfill the role of an on-field DPS. With Burnice, we have two Agents dealing a majority of the team’s damage. Burnice will provide off-field Fire DMG while Lighter will be on-field.

As usual, Lucy is a good third slot for a simple ATK buff and her Boars also provide some off-field DMG. With so much Fire on the team, Inferno Metal would be a great DPS Disk set for Lighter, giving him a consistent Crit Rate buff.

I would imagine that Lighter applies Daze at a solid rate, removing the need for a Stun Agent on this team. Just like before, Caesar is also a strong option to add into this team over Lucy.

Lighter Hyper Carry

[ZZZ Nicole Guide]

This last team is very similar to the one above, except we replace Burnice with another Support/Defense Agent. For this team, Lighter is the hyper carry, dealing a majority of the damage and Daze by himself.

This would be a very cost effective team to build, as everyone gets Nicole for free at the start of the game, and Lucy is a free Agent in Version 1.2.

You could replace Nicole with Rina, Soukaku, or Caesar as well. All of these options work toward buffing up Lighter, which is the main focus of this team.

In Conclusion

This wraps up our initial guide on ZZZ Lighter. As with all of our early guides, there’s a ton of information we don’t know.

Even though Lighter is a Stun Agent, I do expect him to have main DPS capabilities. It would feel very out of place for him to be a pure Stunner, when none of the other Calydon Agents benefit from that playstyle.

I find it most likely that Lighter is a hybrid DPS Stunner, allowing him to be used in both an Attack and Stun role. But as always, this is merely speculation.

Once we know more about his kit, we’ll be able to update this guide with better information, builds, and teams.
