Ultimate Burnice Build Guide: Mastering Fire Anomaly in Zenless Zone Zero (2025)
Burnice, the fiery Anomaly specialist in Zenless Zone Zero, excels in chaos and adaptability, making her indispensable for diverse team setups with explosive mechanics.
🔥 Burnice blazes through Zenless Zone Zero as the Sons of Calydon's premier Anomaly specialist, turning battles into infernos with her obsessive pyromania. Her off-field Scorch application and explosive Afterburn mechanics make her indispensable for Anomaly teams, while her flexibility shines in Attack comps. Forget one-dimensional playstyles—this firestarter adapts to F2P setups and premium squads alike, consistently delivering chaos through calculated combustion. Let’s ignite her full potential.
Core Mechanics & Rotation 🔥
Burnice’s gameplay orbits the Nitro-Fueled Cocktail state, triggered at 50-100 Heat. Entering combat instantly grants 100 Heat, enabling immediate Scorch application via:
-
Held Basic Attack (Mixed Flame Blend)
-
Held EX Special (Intense Heat Stirring Method)
-
Chain Attacks
-
Ultimate (Glorious Inferno)
Scorched enemies take Afterburn damage every 1.5s, dealing 350% of Burnice’s ATK as Fire DMG. This scales up to +30% based on her Anomaly Proficiency.
Optimal Rotation:
1️⃣ Start with Support for team buffs
2️⃣ Swap to Burnice → instant 100 Heat → apply Scorch
3️⃣ Swap to Main DPS → monitor Heat gauge
4️⃣ Return to Burnice → refill Heat via EX Special
5️⃣ Unleash Ultimate when available
6️⃣ Repeat!
