Lucy in Zenless Zone Zero is an A rank Agent who deals fire anomaly damage. She specializes in support, and is able to buff the teams attack as well as energy with her special and ultimate attacks!
Below, you will find the best support builds for Lucy as of the ZZZ 1.0 release. Rather you are a F2P player or a spender, this guide is for you! *Note that these builds assume base talent level.
Overview
Available on the standard banner, Lucy, a new agent introduced in Version 1.0 of the game, is a baseball wielding biker accompanied by 3 boar minions who is a part of the Sons of Calydon. She is a support agent who can deal off-field damage with her minions, as well as provide an ATK buff following her specials, and energy regen to her team after using her ultimate. Think of her as the "Bennet of ZZZ", don't underestimate her ability to boost your team's overall damage output!
Lucy should mainly built as a support agent, since her kit is designed around it, although she, like most agents in the game, can be built as your main DPS with enough investment. Below, you will find Lucy's best W-Engines, Disc Drives, Stats, Skills, Bangboo, and team!
Video Guide
W-Engines
A - Kaboom the Cannon
⭐ Energy Regen
- When any friendly unit in the squad attacks and hits an enemy, all squad members' ATK increases by 2.5/2.8/3.2/3.6/4% for 8s, stacking up to 4 times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately, and each friendly unit can provide 1 stack of the buff. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.
- This is Lucy's Signature W-Engine, and as she already has an attack buff built into her special attacks, this will further her usefulness as an attack increase support. The energy regen stat will also help Lucy rotate her abilities faster.
S - Weeping Cradle
⭐ Pen Ratio
- While off-field, Energy Regen increases by 0.6/0.75/0.9/1.05/1.2 per second. Attacks from the equipper enhance the squad's DMG against a struck target by 10/12.5/15/17.5/20% for 3 seconds. During this period, this effect is further increased by 1.7/2/2.5/3/3.3% every 0.5s, up to a maximum additional increase of 10.2/12/15/18/19.8%. Repeated triggers only refresh its duration without refreshing the DMG increase effect. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.
- Currently this is the only S Rank W-Engine for support, and while Lucy's minions do not count as attacks from Lucy unlike Rina, the energy regen and Pen Ratio can still help her overall.
- The main stat, Pen, is not ideal for Lucy as it does not apply to her minions.
A - Slice of Time
⭐ Pen Ratio
- Any squad members' Dodge Counter, EX Special Attack, Assist Attack, or Chain Attack respectively generates 20/23/26/29/32 (Dodge) | 25/28.5/32/35.5/40 (Special) | 30/34.5/39/43.5/48 (Assist) | 35/40/45/50/55 (Chain) more Decibels and generates 0.7/0.8/0.9/1/1.1 Energy for the equipper. This effect can trigger once every 12s. The cooldown for each type of attack is independent of others. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.
- This is for if you want your Lucy to not only buff your team with Attack and Energy Regen buffs, but also ultimate charge with the increased Decibels economy. I would recommend any of the two above, but this is still a solid pick for her.
- The main stat, Pen, is not ideal for Lucy as it does not apply to her minions.
Disc Drives + Stats
Option 1 - "Cheer On!"
4 Piece Swing Jazz
(2) Energy Regen increases by 20%.
(4) Launching a Chain Attack or Ultimate increases all squad members' DMG by 15% for 12s. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.
2 Piece Hormone Punk
(2) Increases ATK by 10%.
Main Stats: IV. CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG, or ATK | V. ATK | VI. ATK or Energy Regen
Sub stats in order of priority:
1. CRIT Rate% or CRIT DMG | 2. ATK% | 3. Anomaly Proficiency | 4. Flat ATK
This build is for if you want Lucy to be an off-field support specialist. Her ATK Buff scales off her own attack, so you want to get as much ATK as you can until you reach the cap (which is 600 total on her attack buff). Once you're able to hit that cap, you want to prioritize CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, and Anomaly Proficiency. If you're struggling to get enough Energy to keep the attack buff up constantly, consider using Energy Regen on the VI piece.
Option 2 - "Fired Up!"
4 Piece Swing Jazz
(2) Energy Regen increases by 20%.
(4) Launching a Chain Attack or Ultimate increases all squad members' DMG by 15% for 12s. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.
2 Piece Inferno Metal
(2) Increases Fire DMG by 10%.
Main Stats: IV. CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG, or ATK | V. ATK | VI. ATK or Energy Regen
Sub stats in order of priority:
1. CRIT Rate% or CRIT DMG | 2. ATK% | 3. Anomaly Proficiency | 4. Flat ATK
This build is for if you want Lucy to be more efficient at dealing damage, with both her EX Special and Ultimate dealing a considerable amount of fire damage. This build simply makes it a bit harder to reach the cap on her attack buff as you'll need some more luck rolling ATK on your disc drives, but is still very doable.
Skill Priority
ALWAYS PRIOIRITZE CORE SKILL FIRST!!!
1. Levelling up her special not only increases the damage and daze dealt, but also increases the ATK buff that Cheer On gives the team, making this absolutely top priority to improve her effectiveness as a support.
2. Increasing basic attack also increases the attack of Lucy's minion boars, making her a more effective off-field damage dealer.
3. Middle of the pack, not too important, but will provide more return than levelling up chain attack or dodge as this will be used more often.
4. Levelling up her ultimate only increases the damage dealt, not increase the amount of energy regen it grants to your team, making it not top priority.
5. As Lucy is often played at range and off-field, dodge will rarely be used therefore, bottom priority.
Bangboo
S - Bangvolver
Key Trait - When there are 2 or more Physical Attribute characters in your squad: Bangboo Chain Attack inflicts 100% more Anomaly Buildup.
With the optimal team highlighted below, this will allow Lucy to be a perfect support for a physical team, and the Assault anomaly does an insane amount of damage, so Bangolver will make it much easier to trigger it more consistently.
A - Booressure
Key Trait - When there is at least 1 Support character in your squad: Ether bubbles come into contact with characters, they generate an additional 60% Energy for off-field characters.
If you are struggling to have Lucy keep her attack buff up at all time with her EX Special, Booressure should help you achieve that more consistently.
S - Rocketboo
Key Trait - When there are 2 or more Fire Attribute characters in your squad: Bangboo Chain Attack inflicts 100% more Anomaly Buildup.
If you are using the fire mono team, I recommend using Rocketboo in order to more easily proc Burn in order to take advantage of Soldier 11's Passive.
A - Cryboo
Key Trait - When there 2 or more Fire Attribute characters in your squad: Bangboo Chain Attack inflicts 60% more Anomaly Buildup.
A weaker version of Rocketboo, but will still do wonders in activating burn more often.
Optimal Team Comps
Team 1 - Physical
With this squad, everyone will have their additional ability up, and in Lucy's case, her guard boars will also inherit her CRIT Rate and CRIT Dmg, making her even better of an off field damage dealer. Right now this is her physical team, with Piper as your anomaly unit in order to help Nekomata activate Assault more and increase the damage output of the team considerably in addition to Lucy's attack buffs.
Team 2 - Fire
With this squad, everyone will have their additional ability up, and you have a very powerful fire team, with Soldier 11 acting as your main DPS alongside Koleda to help with stunning enemies.
Overall Thoughts
Don't sleep on Lucy! She is not only great as a buff bot, but also as a reliable damage dealer who can stay safe off the field while letting her boars do all the work. If you manage to pull her, which you should eventually as she is an A rank, I highly recommend building her and to find a spot on your roster where she can fit in!
