Vivian is an S-rank unit introduced toZenless Zone Zeroalongside the release of version 1.7. Based on the impressions surrounding her gameplay, Vivian looks exceptionally strong and will play an important role in shaping up the meta.
Additionally, the overall perception of players surrounding her design and aesthetic has also been quite positive. If you’re one of those players who have pulled for the unit and are looking to build her optimally, here’s a guide that will cover all the necessary details.
Vivian Best W-Engine
When it comes to W-Engine choice,Flight of Fancy is the best one for Vivian, since it is curated towards her kit. However, if you don’t want to pull for the signature weapon, there are a few other options that can work for the time being.
Flight of Fancy
S-Rank
This weaponincreases Anomaly Build Up by 40%and alsoincreases the stat by 20 for five seconds, up to a maximum of six times. This is a perfect weapon for Vivian, since herdamage scales off Anomaly Proficiency and Anomaly Mastery. Additionally, the increase in Anomaly is triggered when the equipped character deals Ether DMG, which also happens to be Vivian’s element.
Weeping Gemini
A-Rank
This is a decent substitute for Vivian, on account of the weapon’s passive. Upon inflicting a debuff on an enemy, theequipped character gains 30 Anomaly Proficiency, which increases up to four times. Theweapon also comes with ATK% as a substat,which is valuable for any Anomaly character.
Electro Lip Gloss
This is a decent A-Rank option for Vivian since it comes with30 Anomaly Proficiency as a substat. Additionally, the equipped character has theirATk increased by 10% and DMG by 15%whenever there is an enemy on the field with Attribute Anomaly inflicted on them.
Fusion Compiler
If you’re looking for an S-Rank option, Fusion Compiler is a decent option. The weapon’s passiveincreases ATK by 12% and increases Anomaly Proficiency by 25for eight seconds for a maximum of three times. The reason why it is so down on the list is because of the weapon’s substat, which is PEN Ratio, and that stat is not as big of a priority.
Vivian Best Drive Discs
For Drive Discs,Phatheon’s Melody is the best choice for Vivian. You’ll have to farm this one for the four-piece set bonus. To fill up the final two slots, you will needChaos Jazzsince it comes with Anomaly Proficiency as a bonus, which is essential for Vivian.

We recommendAnomaly Proficiency and ATK%for substats.
Vivian Best Bangboos
For Bangboo, you need something that can trigger Attribute Anomaly and deal Ether DMG. Here are some of the best Bangboos that you can use alongside Vivian:
Synergy with Vivian
Robin
This S-Rank Bangboo is perfect for Vivian since it canhelp increase damage dealt by 45%,Daze build-up by 27%, andAnomaly Build-Up rate by 90%. It can also deal Ether damage and increase Ether Anomaly Build-up on enemies.
Devilboo
This A-Rank Bangboo is a decent substitute for Robin, though it is not as effective.If you have multiple Ether unitsin the team, itincreases Anomaly Buildup by 40%. It can also deal Ether DMG and inflict Ether Anomaly Buildup for 30 seconds.
Vivian Best Team Compositions
Vivian, being an Anomaly unit, doesn’t work with many teams. She hasspecific requirements on account of her Additional Ability, where youmust have a second Anomaly unit in the team. This increases the Corruption DMG of the entire party and Corruption Disorder’s DMG by twelve percent.
Astra Yao
Support
This is the best team for Vivian, sinceYanagican easily trigger Vivian’s Additional Ability, and her ability to trigger Disorder is massive. Even though Yanagi is an Electric unit, that doesn’t hurt Vivian at all, sinceit triggers the latter’s Core Passive, where she can deal massive Attribute Anomaly DMG to an enemy.
Astra Yaois also a perfect support for Vivian as the former canheal and increase the damage outputof the latter quite significantly.
Nicole
Support / Sub-Dps
This is the best free-to-play team you’re able to use for Vivian, sinceNicole is the only free unit that can trigger the former’s Additional Ability.She can also providecrowd control and reduce the DEF of enemies. When it comes to Billy, he will function as a secondary DPS, who will help increase the overall output of the team.
Since Billy is an A-Rank unit, it is highly recommended that you invest in his stats and W-Engine. This will help you run this team even in endgame content.
Vivian Skill Overview And Priority
Skill Overview
Vivian is a pretty simple unit to use, as understanding her abilities and her rotation will make it easy to use her in combat. Vivian’s two strongest abilities are herCore Passive: Dirge of Destiny and Additional Ability: Prophetic Tears.
Dirge of Destiny triggers an effect called Abloom, whichdeals massive Attribute Anomaly DMGto enemies when Vivian uses her Basic Attack on a target that is afflicted by Ether, Electric, Fire, Physical, or Ice Anomaly.
Prophetic Tearsis triggered whenat least one other Anomaly characterin the team. The squad member needs to trigger Attribute Anomaly, and Vivian will consume one Guard Feather, thereby triggering Basic Attack: Featherbloom. Thisincreases the Corruption DMG of all party members by 12 percent.
Vivian also has a second gimmick where she cangenerate Flight Feathers upon using her EX Special Attack. These Flight Feathers can enhance Vivian’s Basic Attack. Originally, Vivian would be in theBasic Attack: Feathered Strike state. However, after the fourth attack,she enters the Noblewoman state, where she can deal Ether damage to enemies and restore Flight Feathers.
However, if she is in the Feathered Strike state, and youhold your attack button after the fourth attack, she enters the Fluttering Frock state. This, however, is onlypossible if Vivian has Flight Feathers in her stock. Upon activating, she deals Ether damage over an area, and every Flight Feather consumed creates a Guard Feather.
Guard Feather helps with Vivian’s off-field damage abilityas she can trigger Ether Anomaly Buildup on enemies whenever an ally uses their EX Special Attack.
Skill Priority
When it comes to her skill Priority, here’s what you need to follow:
When using the character,start with Vivian and trigger up to her Guard Feather state. Swap to your party members, andtrigger all the support abilitiesas well as Attribute Anomaly on the enemies.Switch back to Vivian and deal as much damage as possible, while also activating her ultimate to deal massive damage and also recharge her Flight Feathers.
