Burnice is an off-field Anomaly character inZenless Zone Zeroas her ability allows her to continuously apply fire even when she’s not the active character. This mechanism isperfect for maximizing the damage caused by Disorderin an Anomaly team.
Since Burnice is a pretty typical Anomaly Agent, W-Engines that increase ATK and Anomaly Proficiency are all great. However,the best weapon for Burnice inZZZshould also offer stats like Energy Regen, since a large portion of her damage comes from her EX Special Attack.
75 Anomaly Proficiency
W5 Effect
When there are enemies inflicted with Attribute Anomaly on the field, the equipper’s ATK increases by 16% and they deal an additional 25% more DMG to the target.
Burnice works best as an off-field Anomaly sub-DPS, so players naturally should pair her with another on-field Anomaly character, likeJane Doe inZZZ. Thanks to that, Electro-Lip Gloss is an amazing weapon, since players will always have enemies inflicted with Attribute Anomaly.
30% ATK
The equipper’s Electric Anomaly Buildup Rate increases by 30%. When Special Attacks or EX Special Attacks hit enemies under Attribute Anomalies, the equipper’s Anomaly Proficiency increases by 75 for 15s. When the equipper’s Anomaly Proficiency is greater than or equal to 375, Disorder DMG inflicted by the equipper increases by 25%.
Timeweaver is the signature weapon forYanagi inZZZ, so it naturally caters to her needs. Although Burnice won’t benefit from the Electric Anomaly Buildup Rate effect, she can still gain the Anomaly Proficiency Bonus and occasionally enjoy the Disorder DMG buff.
90 Anomaly Proficiency
Effect
Upon activating a Dash Attack, gain 1 stack of Predatory Instinct. Each stack of Predatory Instinct increases the equipper’s Physical DMG by 12% for 10s, stacking up to 3 times. This effect can trigger once every 0.5s and repeated triggers reset the duration. When entering combat or triggering Perfect Dodge, gain 3 stacks of Predatory Instinct. While Predatory Instinct is at maximum stacks, the equipper’s Anomaly Buildup Rate increases by 40%.
Sharpened Stinger only works as a stat-stick weapon for Burnice inZZZ.She can stack Predatory Instinctas long as players do Perfect Dodge or activate Dash Attack, but she can’t reliably trigger this effect. Most of Burnice’s dodges likely happen when she uses her EX Special Attack, which won’t trigger the Dash Attack effect. Additionally, it may be tricky to Perfect Dodge between her spraying. If, however, Burnice manages to gain three stacks of Predatory Instinct, she can enjoy an extra 40% Anomaly Buildup Rate.
For every 10 Energy consumed, the equipper gains a buff that increases ATK by 4% for 10s, stacking up to 10 times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.
Considering Burnice’s kit revolves around her using her EX Special Attack, she’s always going to consume Energy. Since this weapon is very Energy-centric, players can consider using Energy Regen Drive Disc on her 6-slot.
25% ATK
When EX Special Attack hits an enemy, one of three possible effects is randomly triggered for 5 seconds. This effect can trigger once every 0.3s. The same types of effects cannot stack. Repeated triggers reset the duration, allowing several effects to be active at once: Increases the equipper’s ATK by 12.8%, increases the equipper’s Anomaly Proficiency by 64, or increases the equipper’s Anomaly Buildup Rate by 40%.
Roaring Ride’s effect grants one of three available bonuses when an EX Special Attack hits an enemy. Since all three effects can exist at once, it practically grants Burnice all the bonuses all the time.
24% PEN Ratio
Increases ATK by 12%. When using a Special Attack or EX Special Attack, the equipper’s Anomaly Proficiency is increased by 25 for 8s, stacking up to 3 times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.
Since Burnice’s whole kit revolves around a rotation between her EX Special Attack and hold Basic Attack, she can easily stack on Fusion Compiler’sAnomaly Proficiency bonus. The ATK and PEN Ratio bonuses are also handy to boost her Burn, since both stats affect Anomaly DMG.
While off-field, the equipper’s Energy Regen increases by 0.6/s. When hitting an enemy with an EX Special Attack or Assist Attack, the equipper’s DMG increases by 3.5%, stacking up to 10 times and lasting for 6s. This effect can trigger once every 0.3s. While off-field, the stack effect is doubled. Repeated triggers reset the duration. Upon obtaining the DMG increase effect, if the number of current stacks is greater than or equal to 5, then the equipper’s Anomaly Proficiency increases by 50. This Anomaly Proficiency increase does not stack and lasts for 6s.
Flamemaker Shaker is the best weapon for Burnice inZZZ, given it provides everything she needs to excel in her Anomaly sub-DPS role, namely Energy Regen, ATK, DMG bonus, and Anomaly Proficiency. Since Burnice’s EX Special Attack is a multi-hit attack,she can easily stack the DMG bonus, and the Energy Regen boost helps with this as she can constantly trigger the EX Special Attack.
