Evelyn (ZZZ) Overview

Evelyn (ZZZ) is one of the Fire characters with role. Evelyn (ZZZ) is one of the S Rank characters in Zenless Zone Zero.

Evelyn Build (ZZZ) is included in this guide, you can jump to Evelyn Build (ZZZ) Here.

Evelyn (ZZZ) Mechanism

Binding Seal & Fire Resonance

The Binding Seal is the heart of Evelyn’s abilities, boosting her Crit Rate by 25%. You can trigger it in couple ways:

  • 5th Basic Attack – The last hit in Evelyn’s basic attack sequence applies the Binding Seal
  • Dodge Counter
  • Special Attack / EX Special Attack
  • Quick Assist
  • Assist Follow-Up

Enhanced Basic Attacks & Burning Tether

Evelyn accumulates Burning Embers over time, which unlocks two types of Enhanced Basic Attacks:

  • Enhanced Basic Attack I – This kicks in when Burning Embers hit half capacity.
  • Enhanced Basic Attack II – This one activates at full capacity, dealing even more damage.
  • Burning Tether Points – Each Enhanced Basic Attack generates Burning Tether Points. Once she collects 3, Evelyn can unleash a Chain Attack for extra damage.
 

Since Enhanced Basic Attacks greatly boost Evelyn’s damage output, it’s smart to focus on maximizing Burning Embers generation and timing your attacks to trigger Chain Attacks consistently.

Ultimate – Lunalux Garrote – Timbre

When Evelyn uses her Ultimate, she TAKES OFF HER JACKET, unleashes massive Fire damage and enters Dance of Awakened Fire, powering up her abilities:

  • Retains 1 Burning Tether Point – This allows for more frequent Chain Attacks, significantly ramping up her DPS.
  • Boosts Fire Damage – All her attacks deal increased Fire damage while in this mode.
  • Extends Evelyn’s Combo Potential – Her combat flow gets smoother, making it easier to link multiple attacks together.
 

Dodging & Skill Optimization

  • Dodging at the right time keeps the Binding Seal active, ensuring Evelyn maintains a consistent Crit Rate boost.
  • Timing Chain Attacks properly maximizes damage output while taking advantage of Fire Resonance.

Evelyn’s gameplay focuses on keeping the Binding Seal active and building up Burning Embers effectively.

Evelyn (ZZZ)’s Mindscapes Comparison

The percentage indicates the performance of the Mindscapes in Damage Boost.

No Data Found

M1

  • M1 provides a 10.5% damage boost.
  • Mechanically, M1 primarily enhances Miyabi’s fully charged enhanced Basic Attack, allowing it to gain a defense-ignoring buff based on the number of Fallen Frosts consumed. Each stack grants 6% defense ignore, up to a maximum of 6 stacks.
  • Additionally, a fully charged enhanced Basic Attack removes the Frostburn effect from enemies and increases the Anomaly Build-up Rate for the entire team by 20%.
  • First Effect: Provides direct damage boost.
  • Second Effect: While it removes the debuff aspect of Frostburn, it retains the buff benefit, seemingly doubling the trigger rate for Frostburn-Break. However, the actual performance boost is limited. This effect is not useful for a Disorder team Miyabi but only benefits Miyabi as a single DPS.
  • Note that Frostburn-Break has an internal cooldown of 10 seconds, so the second effect’s impact is not significant in performance.

M2

  • M2 increases Kazahana’s damage by 30%, causes the fifth Basic Attack to restore 1 Fallen Frost, and grants Miyabi full Fallen Frosts at the start of the battle, along with a permanent 15% Crit Rate buff.
  • M2 provides both a numerical boost and a mechanical optimization, delivering a total damage boost of 42.9%.
  • The biggest improvement from M2 is the A5 restoring Fallen Frost, which ensures smoother rotations by consistently providing the key Fallen Frost required for Miyabi’s combos. This greatly improves her overall battle flow and enhances her burst stability.
  • The permanent 15% Crit Rate allows Miyabi to allocate resources into stats other than Crit Rate. Before unlocking M2, Miyabi needs 80% Crit Rate on her panel to fully activate her core passive, which can be difficult to achieve without her Signature W-engine. With M2, her build cost is significantly reduced.

M4

  • M4 increases Frostburn-Break damage by 30% and grants an additional 250 Decibels when triggered.
  • While the Decibel provision is valuable, the amount provided is small, resulting in a limited overall performance boost of 6.2%.
    This makes M4 a mediocre upgrade, with its main value lying in Decibel generation, though its impact is relatively minor.

M6

  • M6 increases the damage of fully charged enhanced Basic Attacks by 30%.
  • Additionally, during the charging process, Miyabi automatically releases 1 to 2 extra enhanced Basic Attacks, depending on her current charge level. This does not interrupt the charging progress.
  • M6 is a pure numerical upgrade, with no changes to Miyabi’s playstyle.
  • Based on calculations, the damage increase from M6 is significant, reaching a total boost of 73.5%.

Evelyn (ZZZ) Best W-Engine

The percentage indicates the performance of the W-engine in Damage Boost.

85.26%
(With Astra Yao, Average 4 stacks or above)

To maximize Evelyn’s damage, her Crit Rate has to push above 80% to trigger her Core skill effect: Chain Attack and Ultimate increase by 125% damage.

Evelyn’s default Crit Rate is at 19.4% (Lv 60), Core skill gave her fixed 25%, you will need to consider capping her Crit Rate from W-Engine & Drive Disks.

Evelyn’s signature W-Engine – Heartstring Nocturne, providing her a fixed 24% Crit Rate & 50% Crit Dmg increase. Making it the best choice to have.

Alternatively you can get Soldier 11’s sig W-Engine The Brimestone if you cap above Evelyn’s Crit Rate.

If you really a F2P-heavy player, consider Starlight Engine as it is sold by in-game vendor.

Evelyn (ZZZ) Best Drive Discs

Either 4 pcs of Inferno Metal or Woodpecker Electro works fine IMO, it really depends on your luck on the Drive Disks stats.

Evelyn (ZZZ) Team

Evelyn (ZZZ) Burst Teams

Evelyn is best paired with Astra Yao for the current version. Astra Yao is under the same affiliation & provides resonance amplification, increasing overall team damage output. Others teammate:

  • Lighter: Lowers enemy Fire Resistance and extends the duration of imbalance, making it ideal for enhancing Fire attribute damage.
  • Caesar King: Shield the team properly, anti-interruption and increase overall attack.
  • Lucy: Pairs well all around, Fire Element that trigger Evelyn’s passive, making her a possible alternative if you really don’t have others.

As a Fire Burst DPS, Evelyn excels in sustained damage output and rapid skill chaining, making her ideal for high-skill players. Mastering Burning Ember management, Binding Seal application, and Ultimate activation timing will unlock her full damage potential

Evelyn (ZZZ) Burst Team (No Astra Yao)

This is the team if you really haven’t pull Astra Yao

Consider Caesar King as a Stun + Shield provider, Lucy as Fire Elemental teammate that trigger Evelyn’s passive. They are both not requiring long on-field time made them an ideal duo for the setup.
