Zenless Zone Zero Soldier 11 Guide – Skills, Builds, Teams, & More

Zenless Zone Zero Soldier 11 Overview

Welcome to our Zenless Zone Zero character guide, where we cover everything you need to know about Soldier 11.

Soldier 11 is an S-Rank Agent from the OBOLS Faction, with the Fire Attribute and Attack Fighting Style. She can be obtained from the Standard agent banner alongside the other S-Ranks, such as Grace, Lycaon, Koleda, Rina, and Nekomata.

Despite her Fire Attribute, Soldier 11 deals both Physical and Fire damage via her Warmup Sparks and Fire Suppression mechanics, and she can use her kit to bolster both types of damage depending on which skills are used. With that being said, Soldier 11 is definitely one of the characters with the highest skill ceiling and there is a lot of micro-management in her kit that can cause newer players to struggle to see her full potential. Missing dodges can cause your damage output to drop massively and, for the most part, mistakes in her gameplay can be very punishing.

Zenless Zone Zero Soldier 11 Build Guide Overview

Soldier 11 Build
W-Engine		Drive Disc
Hellfire Gears Electro-Lip Gloss		Inferno Metal (4) Woodpecker Electro (2)
Main Stat		Substats
(4) Crit Rate % or Crit DMG (5) ATK % (6) Anomaly Rate or ATK %		Crit Rate % or Crit DMG ATK % Attribute Mastery or ATK

While Soldier 11 does technically have a build that reverses the Drive Disc setup for 4 WE + 2 Inferno, we recommend using the setup shown above, as it is easier to play with and generally does better.

Soldier 11 Best W-Engines

Hellfire Gears	ATK: 48/713 | PEN: 12%/30% Fire DMG is increased by 25%. When using an EX Special Attack, Impact is increased by 15%, stacking up to 3 times and lasting 6s. Each stack’s duration is calculated separately.
Electro-Lip Gloss	ATK: 46/594 | Attribute Mastery: 20/50 Deal 40/50/60/70/80% more Attribute Anomaly Damage.

Hellfire Gears is the better choice for Soldier 11 currently, but if you don’t have it, you should use Electro-Lip Gloss as a solid filler option until you get it. When using Hellfire Gears, Soldier while the Impact increase is a nice bonus, the main focus is the huge increase to your overall Fire DMG output.

Soldier 11 Best Drive Disc Builds

Inferno Metal	(2): Increases Fire DMG by 10%. (4): Upon hitting a Burnt enemy, increase ATK by 40% for 6s.
Woodpecker Electro	(2): Increases CRIT Rate by 8%. (4): When a Basic Attack/EX Special Attack/Dodge Counter triggers a CRIT, gain a stack of 16% CRIT DMG increase for 5s. The duration of each stack is independent of the others.

While you can technically reverse the 2/4 usage of these Drive Discs, we recommend using the Inferno 4-set, as you will constantly be activating the bonus for the 40% ATK boost and have almost permanent uptime on it.

Soldier 11 Drive Disc Stats

Little changes in playstyle depending on your choices in Soldier 11’s stats and, for the most part, you can freely take Anomaly Rate or ATK % on (6). With that being said, we would recommend taking Anomaly Rate if you have the choice.

Main Stats

• (4) Crit Rate % or Crit DMG
• (5) ATK %
• (6) Anomaly Rate or ATK %

Sub-stats

1. Crit Rate % or Crit DMG
2. ATK %
3. Attribute Mastery or ATK

Soldier 11 Skill Priority

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.

Soldier 11 Teams for Zenless Zone Zero

Soldier 11 has a few options for teams, but they follow a very similar building strategy. The first team is pairing Soldier 11 with Zhu Yuan and Nicole, mainly due to the interaction with Ether-and-corruption-related procs and gear. With that being said, it falls somewhat short of the Mono-Fire team of Soldier 11, Ben, and Koleda.

This second team is very potent, mainly due to Soldier 11 filling a slot that Ben and Koleda need in their setup, which is that of an Anomaly-heavy, Attribute-focused character that can continuously farm procs as needed.

There is a higher requirement on the second team, mainly due to actually obtaining Ben and Koleda, but it is definitely the stronger of the two.

Depending on release information around Piper and Lucy, this is also a very strong pairing with Soldier 11, but more testing will be needed upon release of the game.

If you managed to pull Soldier 11 and are looking for a “free to play” team, you should use Anby and Nicole.
