Dialyn (ZZZ) Build

Dialyn’s Role
Dialyn is positioned as a versatile burst-type Stun character. She can support both Rupture-type and Attack-type characters. However, rather than assisting sustained, on-field DPS characters with smooth damage output, Dialyn is better suited to supporting DPS with high instantaneous burst potential, especially those who rely on their Ultimates for explosive damage.

For example, Ellen is a sustained, on-field DPS with relatively even damage output—using Dialyn to support her may not show significant advantages. In contrast, pairing Dialyn with main DPS like Yixuan, whose Ultimate is highly specialized, or Anby Zero, whose Ultimate provides additional benefits, is more suitable. This is because Yixuan and Anby Zero possess much higher instantaneous burst damage compared to Ellen.

Dialyn’s Mechanics
Dialyn’s skill mechanics are very straightforward. Apart from her Ex-Special, her Basic Attack, Dodge Counter, Quick Assist, Defense Assist, Support Assault, Chain Attack, and Ultimate have no additional special effects. All of Dialyn’s core mechanics are stated within her Ex-Special description.

Dialyn’s Ex-Special provides a 50% Crit DMG increase and grants invincibility throughout its animation. Each use consumes 25 energy, and continuously using the Ex-Special causes it to upgrade sequentially.

The first use of the Ex-Special throws “Rock”. Using the Ex-Special again within 8 seconds of throwing Rock upgrades it to “Scissors”, which has higher damage and stagger multipliers than Rock. Using the Ex-Special again within 8 seconds of Scissors upgrades it to “Paper”, which again has higher damage and stagger multipliers.

The cycle continues: Rock → Scissors → Paper → Rock → Scissors → Paper, and so on. Executing the full Rock-Scissors-Paper combo consumes 25 energy × 3 = 75 energy. While Rock and Scissors have no special additional effects, Paper does:

When an enemy is hit by Paper, the next time that enemy enters the Daze state, its Daze duration is increased by 2 seconds, and its Daze vulnerability multiplier is increased by 30%. Additionally, when Dialyn uses her Ex-Special, the entire team gains a 40% increased damage dealt buff for 15 seconds. While this buff is active, using the Ex-Special again or using the Ultimate extends the buff duration by 10 seconds, up to a maximum of 45 seconds. In practice, this 45-second duration is almost a permanent buff.

Positive Reviews
Now, let’s look at her other core mechanic: Positive Reviews. Her Positive Reviews are displayed below her avatar and can store up to 120 points. How are Positive Reviews accumulated? There are three methods:

Dialyn immediately gains 60 Positive Reviews when entering combat.

While in combat (whether on-field or off-field), she generates 0.6 Positive Reviews per second.

Each time her Ex-Special hits an enemy, she gains 7.5 Positive Reviews.

When Dialyn’s Positive Reviews reach 90 points, she gains 1 Enhancement Point. If she then uses an Enhanced Basic Attack (hold Basic Attack), she consumes this 1 Enhancement Point and 90 Positive Reviews to forcefully open the Chain Attack window. The next teammate entering the field via this Chain Attack will have their Chain Attack directly upgraded to their Ultimate.

In practice, there is a more efficient method to save Positive Reviews: if this Enhanced Basic Attack puts the enemy into Daze, or if it hits an enemy already in Daze, the Positive Reviews cost is reduced from 90 to 60 points, while still allowing the next teammate to directly use their Ultimate.

In summary, Dialyn provides:

1. +2 seconds to enemy Daze duration
2. +30% Daze vulnerability multiplier
3. +40% team-wide damage dealt
4. Allows a teammate to gain an extra Ultimate usage opportunity

Additional Minor Mechanics
When her initial Crit Rate exceeds 50%, for every 1% over 50, her Impact increases by 2, up to a maximum of +100 Impact. This means if we build Dialyn with max Crit Rate, she can gain the full +100 Impact.

Dialyn’s personal damage output is significantly higher than other Stun characters. Why? Because when there is an Attack-type or Rupture-type character in the team:

If the previous teammate was an Attack-type agent, her Rock, Scissors, and Paper will deal extra damage equal to 320% of that Attack-type agent’s ATK.

If the previous teammate was a Rupture-type agent, her Rock, Scissors, and Paper will deal extra damage equal to 400% of that Rupture-type agent’s Sheer Force.

This means, as a Stun character, she benefits from the support capabilities of both Attack-type and Rupture-type teammates in the party, resulting in much higher personal damage compared to other on-field Stun characters.

Finally, when using Rock, Scissors, and Paper, she can weave in special Basic Attacks between Rock and Scissors. For example: Rock → two special Basic Attacks → Scissors → two special Basic Attacks → Paper. This sequence results in even higher stagger value generation.
