Best Yanagi build in Zenless Zone Zero: Amplifiers, equipment and statistics

Yanagi is one of the characters you can play in Zenless Zone Zero. This article provides detailed insights about Yanagi, including optimal builds, recommended gear, and crucial stats to help you get the most out of his abilities in the game.

Yanagi’s Key Attributes

Yanagi has distinct features that make him a strong asset for any group. Here are his main traits:

• Rank: Grade S
• Element: Electric
• Damage Type: Slash
• Specialty: Anomalous
• Faction: Division No. 6

Yanagi’s Base Stats

At level 1, Yanagi has the following foundational statistics:

• HP: 626
• Attack: 126
• Defense: 49
• Impact: 86
• Critical Hit Rate: 5%
• Critical Damage: 50%
• Anomaly Rate: 94
• Anomaly Mastery: 93
• Piercing Rate: 0%
• Energy Recovery: 112

Optimal Build for Yanagi

For maximizing Yanagi’s effectiveness, the following build is suggested, focusing on amplifiers and disk stats:

• Amplifier: Time Weaver
• Disk Pieces: Electric Metal (4 pieces) and Chaotic Jazz (2 pieces)
• Main Disk Stats: IV (anomaly rate), V (electric damage or piercing rate), and VI (attack or anomaly mastery)
• Secondary Disk Stats: anomaly rate, attack, and piercing

As an anomalous character, Yanagi has synergies with other electric or anomalous agents. His special EX attacks require little energy, and his skill combos are straightforward. To further enhance Yanagi’s abilities, prioritize boosting his attack rather than anomaly mastery, as he can generate a considerable amount of electric anomalies.

Best Team Setup for Yanagi

If you’re looking for an effective team composition that includes Yanagi, consider the following:

• Anomalous: Yanagi
• Anomalous: Burnice
• Support: Rina
• Bangbú: Cablebú

The ideal situation for Yanagi is to pair him with another anomalous character with a different element, like Burnice. Burnice can apply burn effects on foes, allowing Yanagi to inflict significant damage through the polarized dysfunction effect. Rina provides necessary support, complemented by the Bangbú Cablebú.

Yanagi’s Talents (Mindscape Cinema)

Whenever you acquire a duplicate of Yanagi, you can activate one of his passive talents from the Mindscape Cinema system. This is essential for unlocking his full potential. Here are his six talents:

• Talent 1 – Know Your Enemy and Know Yourself: When any team member applies Attribute Anomaly on an enemy, Yanagi gains 1 lucidity charge for 15 seconds. Charges can stack up to 3 times. The duration resets with each activation. If Yanagi is attacked, he consumes 1 lucidity charge, gaining invulnerability for 1 second. With at least 1 lucidity charge, Yanagi’s Anomaly Mastery increases by 80 points.
• Talent 2 – Outstanding Adaptability: The electric anomaly accumulation from Yanagi’s special EX quick strike boosts by 15%. When hitting a foe with the quick strike, holding the special attack button consumes 10 additional energy points for another strike. If energy is low or the button is released, it automatically links to a dive attack. Hitting an enemy affected by Attribute Anomaly with the dive attack while activating polarized dysfunction raises the damage multiplier by 25% of the original dysfunction damage. Each additional strike increases the damage multiplier by 2.5%, up to a maximum of 2 times.
• Talent 3 – Tsukishiro Style Management: Normal attack, evasion, support technique, special technique, and chain technique +2.
• Talent 4 – Master Strategist: When Yanagi inflicts Attribute Anomaly damage on an enemy, it activates the exposed effect on that target for 15 seconds. When an affected enemy is struck, the current attack’s Piercing Rate increases by 16%.
• Talent 5 – Demonic “Mother”: Normal attack, evasion, support technique, special technique, and chain technique +2.
• Talent 6 – Inhuman Blood: After executing the special EX quick strike, the versatility state duration extends to 30 seconds. During this state, the damage dealt by the special EX technique rises by 20%. When the Outstanding Adaptability effect is active, the maximum number of additional damage multiplier activations from polarized dysfunction increases to 4, and the energy cost for the first 4 additional strikes is halved.
