Best Ellen Joe build in Zenless Zone Zero – Drive Discs, Bangboo, and team compositions

In addition to her cleaning expertise, Ellen Joe knows her way around the battlefield with her icy attacks. She may even be one of the most formidable DPS fighters if suitable materials are attached. Here’s a look into the best Ellen Joe build in Zenless Zone Zero.

What is the best build for Ellen Joe in ZZZ?

If you’re fortunate enough to unlock Ellen Joe from the exclusive Signal Search banner, you can enhance her build in Zenless Zone Zero with the following materials:

• W-Engine: Deep Sea Visitor
• Drive Discs:
  • Polar Metal 4-Piece set
  • Woodpecker Electro 2-Piece set

ZZZ Version 1.0 introduced the W-Engine, Deep Sea Visitor, a crucial component for Ellen Joe’s build. Designed for Ice and Attack Agents, this item is the top choice for her, boosting her Ice DMG by 25 percent. It also increases the CRIT Rate by 10 percent for eight seconds after a Basic Attack. Plus, it provides an additional CRIT Rate enhancement when dealing Ice DMG with a Dash Attack.

Moving onto Ellen Joe’s Drive Discs, we have Polar Metal and Woodpecker Electro. Using the 2-Piece Polar Metal increases her Ice DMG to 10 percent, while the 4-Piece offers 20 percent DMG for Basic and Dash Attacks. Freeze or Shatter can be boosted by this ability, too, when a squad member inflicts this particular technique on an enemy.

You can finish Ellen Joe’s build in Zenless Zone Zero with the 2-Piece Woodpecker Electro to help with her CRIT Rate.

Best Bangboo for Ellen Joe in Zenless Zone Zero

Similar to her shark-based W-Engine, you can utilize the Sharkboo Bangboo for Ellen Joe. It’s best to use it when two or more Ice wielders are on your team, inflicting 100 percent more Anomaly Buildup. The A-rank Penguinboo also features this ability but comes with a lower Anomaly Buildup rate of 60 percent. Besides Sharkboo, players can use Bagboo to increase DMG by 20 percent with its Bangboo Chain Attack.

Best team for Ellen Joe in Zenless Zone Zero

To maximize Ellen Joe’s Rising Storm Passive buff, equip Alexandrina and Von Lycaon to your team. This skill only works if you have one of these Victoria Housekeeping Co. members, resulting in more Ice DMG.

Alexandrina can be substituted for another choice, but I suggest having Von Lycaon on your team. You’ll gain two buffs with him equipped, using Sharkboo and Ellen Joe’s Passive.
