Tsukishiro Yanagi may look like Zenless Zone Zero‘s typical office secretary, but behind those glasses lies a devastating Anomaly-focused damage dealer who specializes in triggering Disorder. Although Yanagi is undeniably strong on her own merits, her stance-switching attacks and Electric-Anomaly skillset need solid support to reach full potential.

Whether you’re aiming to create the ultimate S-Rank premium team, an all-electric synergy setup, or a budget-friendly option, the right squad will bring out the best in Yanagi. Here’s a breakdown of the optimal teams for Yanagi that suit every playstyle.

Mono Electric Team
|
Rank |
Name |
|---|---|
|
1 |
Yanagi |
|
2 |
Seth |
|
3 |
Rina or Grace |
Yanagi is the key that unlocks the potential of a mono-electric team. Formerly, mono-electric teams would find their damage dropping off a cliff since they couldn’t inflict Disorder or take full advantage of a Shock Anomaly once applied. With Yanagi’s ability to create her own Disorder effect with her Skill’s passive, it is now possible for this team to pump out consistent damage.

When it comes to a dedicated Anomaly support, Seth is your guy. He takes up little field time and applies a 20 percent Anomaly RES shred that will speed up your Shock procs. He also provides a chosen unit with an additional 100 Anomaly Proficiency and shield that Yanagi will definitely appreciate.
Bangboo – Plugboo Or Electroboo
Both of these electrifying bangboo buddies provide Electric Anomaly buildup and damage that a mono-electric team can take full advantage of.

Premium Disorder Team
|
Rank |
Name |
|---|---|
|
1 |
Yanagi |
|
2 |
Burnice |
|
3 |
Caesar |
As you might expect from a lineup of S-Rank agents, Yanagi’s premium team stands apart as the strongest option for those who were lucky or dedicated enough to collect all its members. Yanagi is a character that demands field time to apply Electric Anomaly, gain the buffs from her stance switching, and blast apart foes with Polarity Disorder. As such, you’ll want her to take the first slot on your team as your primary DPS. Burnice and Yanagi are the perfect pair thanks to Burnices Afterburn passive.
This allows Burnice to consistently apply Fire Anomaly without taking any field time and gives Yanagi free rein to dominate the battlefield and continuously trigger huge Disorder procs on enemies. Caesar is the most flexible (and strongest) Support unit currently in the game, providing huge attack buffs, Daze application, and a refreshable shield. With all of these bonuses together, Yanagi hits even harder and becomes almost untouchable.
Bangboo – Plugboo
While this team misses out on Plugboos Skill B, it will still contribute a significant amount of extra Electric Anomaly buildup, which makes triggering Shock and Disorder even easier.
3
Fire Disorder Team
|
Rank |
Name |
|---|---|
|
1 |
Yanagi |
|
2 |
Burnice |
|
3 |
Lucy |
Similar to the Premium team, the Fire Disorder team focuses on combining the strengths of Yanagi and Burnice, but it doesn’t require the steep investment of three S-Rank agents. Yanagi is a character that demands plenty of field time to apply Electric Anomaly, gain the buffs from her stance switching, and blast apart foes with Polarity Disorder. As such, you’ll want her to take the first slot on your team as your primary DPS. Burnice and Yanagi are the perfect pair thanks to Burnices Afterburn passive.
This allows Burnice to consistently apply Fire Anomaly without taking any field time and gives Yanagi free rein to dominate the battlefield and continuously trigger huge Disorder procs on enemies. Lucy brings squad-wide attack buffs, additional Fire Anomaly application, and three cute guard boars to wail on your enemies. To cap off these benefits, she also takes up virtually no field time, making her the perfect support for this team.
Bangboo – Rocketboo
Rocketboo can turn the heat up even higher with their ability to significantly increase Fire Anomaly buildup. This gives Yanagi even more opportunites to trigger powerful Disorder strikes.
2
Physical Disorder Team
|
Rank |
Name |
|---|---|
|
1 |
Jane/Piper |
|
2 |
Yanagi |
|
3 |
Seth/Caesar |
This is likely one of the harder teams to pilot due to the need for frequent quick-swapping, but seeing the huge damage numbers of a Physical and Electric Disorder team makes it worth it. Jane is the undeniable queen of Physical Anomaly and will quickly tear apart enemies with her Anomaly Crit potential.
When combined with Yanagi’s ability to quickly build up Electric Anomaly and apply Disorder effects of her own, this duo becomes unstoppable. All of this comes with a big caveat: you’ll need to correctly manage the field time between both of these characters, as they both want to be on-field as much as possible. If you don’t have Jane, Piper is a solid A-rank alternative for applying Physical anomaly.

In this team, Yanagi takes more of a backseat, as she needs to share field time with Jane, who arguably needs it more than her to make use of her Passion State’s burst potential. Seth can quickly provide Anomaly-based buffs to his teammates, and is the perfect supporting act to the Yanagi and Jane show. Caesar is also a powerful option, but as a limited S-Rank agent, you may not have her available.
Bangboo – Plugboo Or Bangvolver
Depending on whether you’re running Seth or Caesar, you’ll want to adjust your chosen Bangboo accordingly.
1
Stun Team
|
Rank |
Name |
|---|---|
|
1 |
Qingyi/Koleda |
|
2 |
Yanagi |
|
3 |
Seth/Lucy |
As a premium Stun unit, Qingyi disrupts enemies and easily creates stun windows for the team’s DPS to exploit. Qingyi’s abilities synergize well with Yanagi’s ability to build Electric Anomaly, keeping enemies vulnerable and increasing the damage dealt by Polarity Disorder. If you want to have a stun team that utilizes Fire Disorder, consider using Koleda. As the primary Electric DPS, Yanagi excels at triggering Polarity Disorder on enemies affected by her Anomaly, enhancing damage and taking advantage of stun windows.

Although her field time will be shared with the Stun unit, she can still dish out tons of damage while weaving in and out of combat. Seth provides both Electric anomaly and general Anomaly support, which makes him a great choice. Like Koleda, if you are focusing on Fire Disorder you can swap out Seth for Lucy.
Bangboo – Plugboo Or Rocketboo
Depending on which Disorder effect you’re aiming for, use the Bangboo of the corresponding element.
