Best characters for the Gilded Blossom W-Engine in Zenless Zone Zero

Zenless Zone Zero‘s Camellia Golden Week brought the first event exclusive W-Engine in Gilded Blossom, which could also be fully enhanced during it. But is the engine capable of putting up a fight against the game’s F2P favorites? And if so, which agents can make better use of it?

To help you pair your new addition with the best agents for the job, here are the best characters for the Gilded Blossom W-Engine in Zenless Zone Zero.

The best characters for the Gilded Blossom W-Engine in ZZZ

Although not the top A-Rank pick for any agent in ZZZ due to its lack of a CRIT substat and the existence of tailor-made signature W-Engines, Gilded Blossom is the best A-Rank F2P alternative for Corin, whose multi-hit Special and EX Special reliance benefit greatly from its 24% EX Special DMG buff (at five stars).

To add to the above, if paired with at least a 50% CRIT Rate, the fully enhanced engine can even take Cannon Rotor’s spot as her best non-signature A-Ranker. If you are not a Corin-main, its all-rounder approach also allows the engine to be a great fit for all of the game’s S-Rank DPSs, as well as be the best F2P pick for most of them if you don’t have other engines at five stars.

Should you pick Gilded Blossom over Starlight Engine?

For all characters but Corin, using a five-star Starlight Engine will provide better results than a fully enhanced Gilded Blossom. The reason for that lies in how, although both will feature the same 594 base and 25% ATK substat at level 60, the former’s 19.2% ATK boost will be way more valuable for the game’s remaining attackers, who have in their Basic Attacks their biggest sources of damage.
