Soldier 0 Anby and Burnice Build, Role, and Teams in Zenless Zone Zero
Build
Soldier 0 Anby’s main focus, when it comes to stats, is ATK and CRIT DMG. She gets a lot of innate CRIT Rate from her best Drive Disc and W-Engine options, along with her Core skills and passive. Therefore, getting 80% CRIT Rate should be quite easy. Some of the best W-Engines that can be used for Anby include:
- Severed Innocence (Anby’s Signature W-Engine)
- Zanshin Herb Case
- The Brimstone
- Heartstring Nocturne
- Marcato Desire
- Starlight Engine
- Cannon Rotor
Soldier 0 Anby’s best Drive Disc set is Shadow Harmony, which is the newest Drive Disc alongside Phaethon’s Melody. Here are some of the other options that can be paired with a 4-pc Shadow Harmony:
- Woodpecker Electro
- Branch and Blade Song
- Thunder Metal
- Hormone Punk
- Puffer Electro
Burnice, unlike Soldier 0 Anby, is an Anomaly Agent. Therefore, aiming for at least 350-400 Anomaly Proficiency is very important when building her. You also need to have at least 2800-3000 ATK as her Afterburn mechanic gets stronger with the more ATK she has.
However, a tricky part about increasing ATK on Anomaly Agents is the lack of W-Engines that boost this particular stat. This will require you to prioritize getting ATK substats on your Drive Discs. With that being said, here are Burnice’s best W-Engines:
- Flamemaker Shaker (Burnice’s Signature W-Engine)
- Electro Lip Gloss
- Weeping Gemini
- Rainforest Gourmet
- Fusion Compiler
Burnice’s best Drive Disc set is Chaos Jazz, without a doubt. This Drive Disc is tailored to improve Burnice’s damage output. You can opt for the following Drive Discs alongside a 4-pc Chaos Jazz:
- Inferno Metal
- Hormone Punk
- Swing Jazz
- Freedom Blues
When comparing Soldier 0 Anby and Burnice with regard to ease of building, you will have an easier time building Soldier 0 Anby as she has more flexibility when it comes to Drive Discs and W-Engines.

Role
Soldier 0 Anby is an extremely straightforward Attack Agent, but varies slightly from other Agents in her role in terms of playstyle. Unlike most Attack agents that swap in after an enemy is stunned, Soldier 0 Anby prefers to be on-field to deal consistent Aftershock damage while getting support from off-field stunners like Trigger and Pulchra.
Burnice, on the other hand, is the complete opposite of Soldier 0 Anby. A lot of her time should be spent off-field after quickly applying Burn and swapping to a different Agent. Her damage output truly shines when she is off-field thanks to her Afterburn.
If you wish to have an Attack Agent that prefers to be in action much more than most, you will find Soldier 0 Anby to be fun to utilize. Otherwise, Burnice is the better option when it comes to pure value in the meta, as it heavily favors Disorder team compositions, which is where Burnice shines.
Teams
Speaking about team compositions, both Agents serve a particular niche where they can truly unlock their full potential. For Soldier 0 Anby, these are Aftershock-based team compositions. As already mentioned earlier, Burnice is excellent in a variety of Disorder team compositions.
However, Soldier 0 Anby has slightly better flexibility as an Attack Agent compared to Burnice, since she can slot into double Support team compositions. Here are Soldier 0 Anby’s best teams:
- Soldier 0 Anby + Trigger + Astra Yao
- Soldier 0 Anby + Trigger + Lucy
- Soldier 0 Anby + Pulchra + Caesar
- Soldier 0 Anby + Pulchra + Nicole
- Soldier 0 Anby + Anby + Nicole
- Soldier 0 Anby + Astra Yao + Nicole
- Soldier 0 Anby + Qingyi + Rina
As for Burnice, her team compositions are much more limited. However, they are some of the best team compositions in the current meta. These include:
- Jane Doe + Burnice + Astra Yao
- Yanagi + Burnice + Astra Yao
- Piper + Burnice + Lucy
- Miyabi + Burnice + Caesar
- Soldier 11 + Burnice + Lucy

Is Soldier 0 Anby Worth Pulling in ZZZ?
Soldier 0 Anby is a powerful Attack Agent that can reliably clear most endgame content. While she is not at the power level of Miyabi and Evelyn, she still has great damage output and can truly shine in her best team consisting of Trigger and Astra Yao. However, she faces tough competition in her debut banner as Burnice is a very valuable and futureproof unit since Anomaly Agents are likely to dominate the meta for a good while.
If you are in need of an Electric Attack Agent and are a fan of her playstyle, it is worth pulling for Soldier 0 Anby. If you have any other Anomaly Agent other than Burnice, it’s better to pull for the resident Nitro-Fuel enjoyer.
