I still remember the first time I unleashed an Attribute Anomaly in Zenless Zone Zero back in 2024 - watching enemies shatter into icy fragments under Miyabi's blade while Burnice's flames licked at their scorched remains. As a Proxy who's battled through Hollows for over a year now, I've learned that true power in New Eridu doesn't come from brute force alone. It flows through these specialists who weaponize physics itself, turning combat into a symphony of debuffs and elemental chaos. The satisfying crack of frozen foes, the sizzle of electric overloads, the panic in enemies when their formations crumble under relentless assault - this is where Zenless Zone Zero truly shines in 2025. Let me walk you through the anomaly virtuosos who transformed my ragtag squad into legendary Voidhunters.

Piper Wheel

That petite powerhouse with her comically oversized axe taught me size means nothing in New Eridu. During the Belobog refinery incident last winter, Piper became my anchor against swarming Ethereals. Her Tire Spin special - this whirling dervish of steel - shredded through six corrupted drones while applying Assault debuffs like graffiti. I used to chase big damage numbers until Piper showed me the beauty of disruption. Sure, her individual strikes don't rival Yanagi's nukes, but when paired with Burnice? Gods below! Their Disorder combo made mincemeat of the refinery boss's armor layers. What she lacks in raw power, Piper compensates with relentless stagger pressure - watching bulky opponents stumble helplessly never gets old.

Grace Howard

Mad scientist? Check. Electrician from hell? Double check. Grace became my safety net during those frantic Hollow runs where dodging felt like dancing on hot coals. Her EMP grenades created these beautiful overlapping shock zones that made enemies convulse like malfunctioning androids. I'd perch her on scaffolding while my melee agents brawled below, her nail gun stitching lightning across the battlefield. The real magic happened when pairing her with Jane Doe - Grace's Shock debuffs amplified Jane's physical crits into apocalyptic territory. Though honestly? My favorite memory is watching her cackle while overloading a security bot until its circuits fried. Never underestimate mechanics who treat combat like experimental theatre!

Jane Doe

This woman redefined glass cannon for me. Learning Jane felt like trying to salsa dance on a tightrope - one mistimed dodge and her Passion Stream evaporated faster than ether in sunlight. But when you nail that Salchow Jump? Pure poetry. During the Sixth Street turf wars, I'd send her pirouetting through gang squads, each crit strike layering Assault debuffs like some deadly ballet. Her double-dodge mechanic saved my squad more times than I count, though energy management remains brutal. Pro tip: pair her with Qingyi for shield support unless you enjoy frantic panic-dodging! Jane demands perfection but pays in shattered enemies.

Burnice White

Don't be fooled by her cheerful smiles - this pyromaniac rewired my understanding of fire support. Burnice's flamethrowers became my go-to solution for cramped Hollow corridors where mobility mattered. I'd trigger her Nitro-Fuel State just as Piper engaged, watching Scorch melt armor while Piper spun through the flames. Her mobility? Chef's kiss! During the Gion District raid, she backflipped over laser grids while roasting security mechs mid-air. The real revelation was her EX special - that forward fire torrent incinerated entire waves when funneled through narrow alleys. She's the only agent I'd trust to barbecue enemies while literally dancing around their attacks.

Yanagi

My electric cheat code! Yanagi shattered my assumption that anomaly teams need tedious buildup. Her Polarity Disorder nukes felt like finding a "skip battle" button during tedious Ether cleanup missions. That first time I triggered her EX Special against the Chronos Titan? The screen flashed white before the health bar evaporated - no debuff stacking, just pure unadulterated deletion. But here's the catch: she punishes button-mashers brutally. Her Shinrabanshou state forced me to unlearn dodging habits, and missing attack chains tanks her DPS harder than a blackout in Belobog. Worth mastering though - no one deletes single targets faster.

Miyabi

The frost queen who made me believe in cryo supremacy. Miyabi's Shatter combos during last month's Blizzard Event turned elite enemies into ice sculptures I'd casually tap into glittering mist. Her Frostbite application? Insane! But the real magic happens when you stack crit rate - those frozen crits hit like freight trains. Surprisingly forgiving to play despite her complexity; I've watched new Proxies perform decently with her while veterans unleash frozen hellscapes. Only downside? Her dream team requires Burnice or another anomaly specialist, making free-to-play setups tricky. Still, watching her ultimate flash-freeze a boss mid-leap remains Zenless Zone Zero's most satisfying moment.

Frequently Asked Questions

❄️ Which anomaly agent works best solo?

Yanagi! Her instant Disorder nukes bypass buildup mechanics, making her perfect for quick clears. Miyabi's freeze locks also enable solo survivability.

⚡ How important are anomaly synergies?

Critical! Piper/Burnice or Grace/Jane combos trigger Disorder 200% faster than solo agents. Always pair complementary elements.

🔥 Is Burnice viable without another fire agent?

Yes, but suboptimally. Her Scorch needs allies to trigger Afterburn damage. Slot her with any DPS for decent results.

❓ Who's most beginner-friendly?

Miyabi's straightforward freeze mechanics ease new players in, though Piper's spin attacks are simpler to execute.

💥 Should I prioritize anomaly or crit stats?

Depends! Burnice/Piper want anomaly efficiency. Miyabi/Jane need crit rate. Yanagi thrives on attack% and electro damage.
