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

Yanagi ZZZ Overview

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

Yanagi		Section 6
S Rank	Electric		Anomaly

Hoyo has just teased a new Agent releasing in Version 1.3, Yanagi Tsukishiro. Yanagi is a member of Section 6 along with Soukaku, Harumasa, and Miyabi.

You interact with these characters as you progress through the Hollow Zero storyline. While Yanagi isn’t a completely new character, we know know her Attribute and Specialty, giving us a lot of insight on her potential teams.

ZZZ has been putting a heavy emphasis on Anomaly at the moment. Jane just released in 1.1, Burnice is coming in 1.2, and Yanagi will likely be the first banner in 1.3.

Anomaly enjoyers are definitely going to be in a tight spot trying to obtain all three Agents. Lastly, it’s a bit unfortunate, but Yanagi will likely completely overshadow Grace who is also Electric/Anomaly.

ZZZ Yanagi Release Date

Yanagi’s banner will be on the first half of Version 1.3, which will run from October 30th, 2024 to November 20th, 2024. (Prediction)

ZZZ Yanagi Skills

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

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

Yanagi ZZZ Build Guide Overview

While we don’t know anything about Yanagi’s kit, her Anomaly specialty gives us a general idea of what to expect. The Chaos Jazz set releasing in Version 1.2 also buffs Electric DMG, so this set could be good on Yanagi as well.

However, Chaos Jazz synergizes best with off-field/sub dps characters like Burnice. This could hint toward the fact that Yanagi plays in an off-field style, but we don’t know for sure.

We may see Thunder Metal or Freedom Blues be the preferred set if Yanagi is played more as an on-field DPS like Jane.

Here’s a breakdown of a potential build for Yanagi. I won’t go into full detail just yet since these are all predictive.

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

ZZZ Yanagi Teams

For this section, I’ll be going over some potential team ideas for Yanagi. Keep in mind that all of these ideas are speculative. Depending on Yanagi’s kit, she will synergize better with some Agents than others.

However, I still think having an idea of what to expect will help you plan your pulls and resources.

Yanagi’s Additional Ability condition will also shape how to team build around her. Based on what we’ve seen so far, we can definitely assume that Section 6 will fulfill her AA.

We’ll need to see whether having an Electric squad member or Anomaly team member will also fulfill her AA.

On-Field Yanagi Disorder

[ZZZ Burnice Guide] [ZZZ Rina Guide] [ZZZ Caesar Guide]

If I had to predict how Yanagi works, I would assume that she is closer to Jane. It would be very weird for Hoyo to release two off-field Anomaly agents back to back (Burnice then Yanagi).

It would make more sense to have Yanagi work well with Burnice as your on-field DPS to trigger Disorder with Burnice.

Depending on Yanagi’s AA, the third team slot will be flexible.

If you need Electric, you can add Seth or Rina. If Burnice’s Anomaly trait fulfills Yanagi’s AA, then you can run any Support/Defense in the third slot, of which Caesar will be the best option.

Shock vs Assault

In this type of team, Yanagi fulfills a very similar role to Jane. However, Shock is inherently different from Assault. Shock deals damage over time, while Assault triggers one large damage proc.

You may notice that Jane teams don’t need another Anomaly Agent to do well. This is because the Assault Anomaly doesn’t need to rely on Disorder to do good damage.

If Yanagi is an on-field Anomaly Agent, she will definitely want Burnice as a teammate to trigger Disorder and “clear” the Shock Anomaly.

If you trigger Shock repeatedly, you will mainly just extend the duration rather than deal more damage. (Compared to Assault which will do the full damage every proc)

By having Burnice trigger Burn, the Disorder will consume the Shock and deal all of the DoT instantly. This will let you trigger Shock again for full value.

Off-Field Yanagi Disorder

[ZZZ Jane Guide]

While I personally find this unlikely, Yanagi’s kit could have her be more of an off-field Shocker. This would make her very similar to Burnice and pair well with Jane.

Considering Yanagi has a melee weapon and is coming right after Burnice, this outcome is unlikely, but still possible. Yanagi could also provide some other form of utility that would make her beneficial as a secondary DPS, but time will tell.

Mono Electric

[ZZZ Grace Guide] [ZZZ Anton Guide]

Up next, we have Mono Electric teams that look to go all in on Shock. As previously mentioned, constantly refreshing Shock isn’t very beneficial, but Yanagi could change that.

She might have some mechanic like a Super Shock or Shock Crit like Jane. However, going based on Hoyo’s track record, they generally will release characters that synergize best with other Limited Agents rather than Standard Agents.

If Yanagi provides off-field Shock, she’d completely powercreep Grace in an Anton team.

If she’s an on-fielder like Jane, she could be paired with Grace like how you can pair Jane with Piper.

However, Jane + Piper isn’t a meta combination as you’re wasting Jane field time by swapping to Piper. The same can be true for Yanagi + Grace. Yanagi’s kit would need some special mechanic that benefits her hitting an already Shocked enemy for this pair to be good.

Section 6 and Harumasa?

If you paid attention during the Inferno Reap quest, you’ll see that Yanagi and Harumasa help you chase Ninevah. During this quest, we frequently see Electric attacks from these two. (visually)

With this in mind, it’s likely that Harumasa is also an Electric Agent. Thus, the pair of Harumasa + Yanagi might be a strong combination as well.

Burnice + Soldier 11 is a notable synergy since Burnice can frequently Burn enemies, activating the Inferno Metal set for Soldier 11.

The same is definitely possible for Yanagi + Harumasa and the Thunder Metal set. In this scenario, I imagine Harumasa to be a stronger version of Anton, and this team allows you to run Soukaku as a third member without sacrificing any AAs.

In Conclusion

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

Yanagi could be an on-field Shock DPS, an off-field DPS like Burnice, an Electric team enabler, or some combination of all 3.

Considering Burnice and Yanagi are looking to be back-to-back banners, I empathize with anyone who loves Anomaly and wants to pull for them both.

If this duo is something you might want, (and it’s likely they will be strong together) be prepared to start saving now. It’s also tough because Caesar is a great “support” for Anomaly teams as well.

I wish you good luck if you’re like me and want to pull for all three.
