Koleda Belobog in Zenless Zone Zero is an S rank Agent who deals Fire anomaly and strike damage. She is a slow, but heavy hitter who specializes in stunning enemies with her giant hammer and dealing massive fire damage her Furnace Fire mechanic.
Below, you will find the best Stun DPS builds for Koleda 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, Koleda, a short but fierce president of Belobog Industries, is an agent that relies on slow but deliberate attacks that deal heavy daze and fire damage to stun her opponents. When combined with her right-hand bear Ben, she gets a damage and daze boost to her basic, special attacks and ultimate, so it is recommended he stays with her. Her unique mechanic Furnace Fire, gained upon executing a special EX attack or ultimate, can turn her basic attacks into enhanced fire attacks.
Due to Koleda's high impact stat and daze multipliers from her attacks, she should be built as a Stun DPS. A breaker's main goal is to cause stun onto enemies to allow for chain attacks, or for your main DPS to pack on the punishment while the enemy is CC'd. Now that that's all out of the way, let's go over the best W-Engines, Disc Drives, Stats, Skills, Bangboo, and Teams for Koleda!
W-Engines
S - Hellfire Gears
⭐ Impact
- When off-field, the equipper's Energy Regen increases by 0.6/0.75/0.9/1.5/1.2 per second.
- When using an EX Special Attack, the equipper's Impact is increased by 10/12.5/15/17.5/20% for 10s, stacking up to 2 times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.
- Koleda's main W-Engine, with how her EX Special works, you will be able to get both stacks, making her an even greater stun agent.
S - The Restrained
⭐ Impact
- When an attack hits an enemy, DMG and Daze from Basic Attacks increase by 6/7.5/9/10.5/12% for 8s, stacking up to 5 times. This effect can trigger at most once during each skill. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.
- Works especially great if Ben is in your squad, causing Koleda's basic attacks to deal a massive amount of stun.
A - Six Shooter
⭐ Impact
- The equipper gains a Charge stack every 3s, stacking up to 6 times. When launching an EX Special Attack, consumes all Charge stacks, and each stack increases the Daze inflicted by 4/4.6/5.2/5.8/6.4%.
- This works best for a heavy rotation team where you have Koleda on the field for a short amount of time to consume all stacks, then rotate back to your damage dealer while the enemy is stunned.
- With Ben and Koleda, having maximum stacks and using Koleda's EX Skill will deal a very heavy amount of damage!
Disc Drives + Stats
Option 1 - "Koleda Smash!"
4 Piece Shockstar Disco
(2) Increases Impact by 6%.
(4) Basic Attacks, Dash Attacks, and Dodge Counters, inflict 20% more Daze upon the main target.
2 Piece Swing Jazz
(2) Energy Regen increases by 20%.
Main stats: IV. CRIT Rate% or CRIT DMG | V. Fire DMG | VI. Impact
Sub stats in order of priority:
1. ATK% | 2. Crit Rate, Crit DMG | 3. Anomaly Prof
This build gives you the most Daze potential from Koleda and allows you to deal decent damage thanks to the bonus energy regen, allowing her to activate Furnace Fire more with her EX Special attack.
Option 2 - "Burn, Baby!"
4 Piece Inferno Metal
(2) Increases Fire DMG by 10%.
(4) Upon hitting a Burning enemy, the equipper's CRIT Rate is increased by 28% for 8s.
2 Piece Swing Jazz
(2) Energy Regen increases by 20%
Main stats: IV. CRIT Rate% or CRIT DMG | V. Fire DMG | VI. Impact or Attack
Sub stats in order of priority:
1. CRIT DMG | 2. ATK% | 3. CRIT Rate | 4. Anomaly Prof.
This build is if you want Koleda to be a more effective DPS unit rather than a stun unit. She will still be able to deal an impressive amount of daze, but this build is more suited for when another agent applies Burn to the enemy, switch to Koleda in order to take advantage of inferno metal to get the crit boost. This way, you can focus on building Crit DMG more than Crit Rate.
Skill Priority
ALWAYS PRIOIRITZE CORE SKILL FIRST!!!
1. Koleda will use her EX Special a lot as it activates the key part of her kit Furnace Fire, so make this a top priority upgrade.
2. After activating Furnace Fire, you will be using Basic Attack a lot while on the field, making this second priority.
3. Levelling up her Chain significantly increases the amount of daze and damage it does, especially if combined with Ben, making this her third priority.
4. Compared to the prior skills, this should not be your top priority, but overall it'll still increase her daze and damage capabilities overall, so keep it at 4th.
5. There isn't much point to levelling up her Dodge as it has no significant impact on her kit, making this bottom priority.
Bangboo
S - Rocketboo
Key Trait - When there are 2 or more Fire Attribute characters in your squad: Bangboo Chain Attack inflicts 100% more Anomaly Buildup.
Koleda and Ben are fire, and I believe they should always be matched together, and with this Bangboo active, you will be able to proc Burn way more often, increasing overall damage.
S - Safety
Key Trait - When there are 2 or more Belobog Heavy Industries characters in your squad: Bangboo Chain Attack DMG increases by 20%. If the target is Burning or Shocked, this buff increases by an additional 20%.
Koleda and Ben are fire, and I believe they should always be matched together, and with Safety equipped and with a fire mono team constantly applying burn, Safety will deal a hefty 40% damage attack.
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 still capable of improving your burn uptime by a lot.
Optimal Team Comp
As of now, this team consisting of Koleda, Ben, and Soldier 11 ensures fire synergy between all involved by checking off all of their Core Skill Additional Ability. For Koleda, when there are at least 2 fire or belobog industry agents, whenever the explosion from Koleda's EX Special Attack hits an enemy, the target takes 35% more Chain Attack DMG while Stunned. This effect stacks up to 2 times and ends when the enemy recovers from Stun, making her a great fire daze unit.
Overall Thoughts
Koleda is an excellent unit that is an expert in applying daze to enemies and is best played as a team utility unit rather than as a straight DPS, aka, as a Breaker. If you combine her with Ben, which you should, all of her attacks are enhanced to deal even more damage and daze, which overall makes her more effective at her role.
If you're looking for a fire breaker unit, then rolling for Koleda is a no brainer. However, if she is tied to standard banner, I would wait for her to be featured, unless you're willing to spend ad-nauseum for a chance to get her!
