Soldier 11 in Zenless Zone Zero is an S rank Agent who deals Fire anomaly and slash damage. She is able to deal heavy fire damage at a small AOE range, and her basic attacks can get enhanced by the use of Fire Suppression.
Below, you will find the best DPS builds for Soldier 11 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, Soldier 11, a straight to the point, highly skilled fighter apart of the OBOLS Squad, is a high attack agent who relies on her fire damage to wreak havoc to enemies that are around her immediate vicinity. She relies on her Fire Suppression mechanic, which involves pressing the basic attack button at the correct time, or after using her EX special or chain attack, in order to imbue her attacks with Fire in order to deal maximum damage. She also offers good team utility when there are at least 2 fire agents in the squad, as whenever burn is applied, the agent applying the burn gets 4 energy.
Soldier 11 should be built as a main DPS, as in order to maximize her damage output, you need her to stay on the field long enough to make use of her fire suppression status whenever it is activated, not to mention she has very high base attack, coming second to Nekomata, meaning she is built for high damage potential. Now then, comrade, let's go over the best W-Engines, Disc Drives, Stats, Skills, Bangboo, and Teams for Soldier 11!
W-Engines
S - The Brimstone
⭐ Attack
- Upon hitting an enemy with a Basic Attack, Dash Attack, or Dodge Counter, the equipper's ATK increases by 3.5/4.4/5.2/6/7% for 8s, stacking up to 8 times. This effect can trigger once every 0.5s. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.
- Soldier 11's main W-Engine, this fits perfectly with her kit and allows her to deal a considerably higher amount of damage overall.
A - Cannon Rotor
⭐ Crit Rate
- Increases ATK by 7.5/8.6/9.7/10.8/12%
- Attacks that land a CRIT on an enemy will inflict an additional 200% of ATK as DMG. This effect can only be triggered once every 8/7.5/7/6.5/6s.
- A great alternative to The Brimstone, and also gives you a nice increase to critical hit rate.
A - Street Superstar
⭐ Attack
- Whenever a squad member launches a Chain Attack, the equipper gains a Charge stack, stacking up to 3 times. Upon activating their own Ultimate, the equipper consumes all Charge stacks, and each stack increases the skill's DMG by 15/17.2/19.5/21.7/24%.
- W-Engine suited for a team with high daze, so for example, if you have Koleda to proc more chain attacks, this in turn will boost this W-Engine for Soldier 11 in order to deal huge damage from her ultimate.
Disc Drive + Stats
Option 1 - "Operation Firestorm"
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. ATK
Sub stats in order of priority:
1. CRIT Rate% or CRIT DMG | 2. ATK% | 3. Anomaly Proficiency
Inferno Metal is a must for Soldier 11, it's pretty much built for her, as her additional ability already grants a bonus when attacking a burning enemy, this will add even more damage scaling and crit rate onto that. The energy regen will allow Soldier 11 to more reliably enter Fire Suppression upon using her EX Special.
Option 2 - "All-Out Offensive"
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 Hormone Punk
(2) Increases ATK by 10%
Main stats: IV. CRIT Rate% or CRIT DMG | V. Fire DMG | VI. ATK
Sub stats in order of priority:
1. CRIT Rate% or CRIT DMG | 2. ATK% | 3. Anomaly Proficiency
This is an alternate build for if you're finding your energy regen to not be a problem for you and that you can manually trigger Fire Suppression without much trouble. The 10% bonus attack adds a lot to Soldier 11 as her base ATK is very high and she has a lot of scaling based on her attack.
Skill Priority
ALWAYS PRIOIRITZE CORE SKILL FIRST!!!
1. As Soldier 11 is a main DPS, most of her damage will come from her Basic Attack, especially if timed right to trigger Fire Suppression.
2. You should aim to level this up equally with Soldier 11's Basic Attack as both will be used quite often to deal powerful fire damage.
3. Soldier 11's Dodge gets the Fire Suppression status applied to it, making it another big source of her damage, leaving this at third priority.
4. While Soldier's Ultimate is good as it triggers Fire Suppression for up to 15 attacks or 8 seconds, it should not take priority over the skills above this.
5. Similar to her Chain attack, while this is a good source of damage, focus on raising the Basic, Special, and Dodge first.
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.
As Soldier 11 deals a lot of fire anomaly damage from her basic attacks after the conditions are met, with this Bangboo active, you will be able to proc Burn way more often, increasing overall damage, not to mention, when the enemy is burned, Soldier 11 does more damage has an increase crit rate against them.
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
This team consisting of Soldier 11, Koleda, and Lucy will grant Soldier 11 and her team both of their core passives, which with 2 fire or OBOLS squad agents, Soldier 11 deals 10% more Fire DMG. When attacking Stunned enemies, this effect is further enhanced by an additional 22.5%. So, you absolutely want a stunner or Koleda in the team to proc this more often.
Overall Thoughts
Not only is Soldier 11 an excellent fire main DPS, but also a decent utility unit for other fire agents, as her abilities are efficient at not only applying burn, but granting extra energy upon applying that burn. She is easy to use, moderately mobile, has decent attack speed, and deals an abundance of fire damage. Overall, a great unit to act as a fire damage agent. As she is your best pick for fire DPS, if your favorite element is fire, I would recommend going for her if she gets featured on a banner.
