Piper in Zenless Zone Zero: guide & build

Detailed guide to Piper Wheel Zenless Zone Zero with recommendations for assembly and commands. We will provide a list of the best sets drive disks and most suitable amplifiers, let's look at the characteristics of the heroine in battle, analyze her mechanics and skills. We will select squads for the girl that can unleash her potential in the best possible way, including free teams that will allow you to complete content with minimal investment. Let's list everything Piper needs to level up to the maximum level and improve all her skills.

Piper Wheel - mechanic in the group "Sons of Calydon", which often takes orders for transportation. In addition to his interest in cars, he participates in sweepstakes and lotteries as a regular hobby. As a playable character, she attacks enemies with a physical attribute and has many abilities that make her an extremely good damage dealer.

How to get Piper in Zenless Zone Zero

You can get Piper Wheel in a number of ways:

• Along with other standard A-class characters, they may fall out of the stable “Star Lineup” signal. Every 10 spins, a 4⭐ hero or amplifier is guaranteed to drop.
  
• With a certain chance, along with other agents not included in the event banner, it may appear when searching for the “Dedicated Signal”. Every 10 spins you will receive an agent or amplifier of class A.
  

If you fail to knock out Piper in the current banner, you can always buy the agent for 140 signal echoes by purchasing a set in the corresponding section of the spin shop.

We discussed in more detail in a separate guide, how the guarantor system works on various banners. We recommend tracking signal schedule, to be aware of the release of new characters and reruns and not to miss an agent.

Wil's Basic Skills

Piper fights with a huge axe, which she spins around to deal damage around herself. One of the main mechanics of the agent is the accumulation of charges, the number of which determines its peak strength and the power of an enhanced special attack. Piper's gameplay revolves around her special attack, both with and without energy consumption:

• Spinning Wheel Special Attack - Piper spins and deals damage. If you hold down the button, the attack will last longer and more damage will be received. The charge level of the skill increases up to 2 times. When performing a skill after the 3rd hit of a basic attack, you can quickly activate Spinning Wheel with an increased charge level.
• Trillion Ton Special Attack - while performing the “Spinning Wheel”, release the button so that the girl performs a “heavy” downward blow, dealing damage depending on the charge level.
• Enhanced special attack "Fast and Furious" — if the heroine has enough energy and the Spinning Wheel’s charge level is at maximum, hold down the button to make the agent spin, causing damage.
• Enhanced Special Attack "Super Thrust" — while performing “Fast and Furious”, release the button to attack from top to bottom. If during the Afterburner the energy level drops below the permissible value, this skill is automatically used.

In addition to the four variations of a special attack, it is also worth highlighting other important Piper skills:

• Primary passive skill "Reserve Power" — when performing a spinning kick, Piper receives 1 level of the “Power” effect. Each level increases the efficiency of accumulating physical attribute anomalies by 2%, with a maximum increase of 40%.
• Additional ability "Synchronized Race" — if the squad has an agent of a physical attribute or from the “Sons of Calydon” faction, and Piper has at least 20 Power levels, the squad’s damage increases by 18%.

During the battle, the main emphasis is on a special attack, the Makings bring additional benefits, and from time to time it makes sense to use a super ability to increase the overall damage in the position of the main and secondary damage dealer. While on the field, the most convenient way to play is to hold a special skill for a long time immediately after a counterattack while dodging - in this case, the girl spins with an ax almost constantly, regardless of the amount of accumulated energy. It is also important to note the fact that the spin up to maximum speed after two basic attacks is faster than when starting the rotation with a special skill.

The order of leveling skills

Enhanced Special Attack > Attributes > Ultimate = Chain Attack > Basic Attack > Assist > Evade

1. The girl’s main source of damage is her special attack, in particular the enhanced one. It allows the agent to accumulate “Power” and cause physical anomalies, which is why it has the highest pumping priority.

   

   

2. Piper's abilities increase the rate of accumulation of the physical anomaly and accelerate the receipt of Power charges, further increasing the damage of the entire squad. It's worth leveling up immediately after a special attack.
   
3. Part of the damage dealer's damage comes from her chain of attacks, which is why the skill has a medium leveling priority and rises after the above skills.
   
4. The basic attack is extremely rarely used due to gameplay features, so it elevates it if there are “free” resources, as well as the girl playing the role of the main damage dealer.
   
5. Leveling up Assistance mainly affects the accumulation of stun, so it is necessary to improve the skill solely for this reason.
   
6. Piper's playstyle revolves around maximizing her special skill, making counterattack damage a secondary priority. Frequent dodges help to use a circular attack without a lot of energy consumption, but nothing more.
   

The best eidoses of Wil

All Piper's mental picture enhancements:

The most useful Piper Wheel constants are: 1, 2, 4:

• Eidos “Moment of Peace” increases the maximum “Power” reserve and gives the heroine more chances to get a charge. With this boost, it will be easier for her to increase the rate at which physical anomalies accumulate on her opponents.
• "Inspiration" Increases overall damage when using her special attack and ultimate. In addition, with an open const, the damage scales more strongly with the number of stacks, which is combined with the first const.
• Eidos “Master of his craft” will allow the agent to restore energy every time a squad member inflicts an anomaly on an enemy. Due to this, the girl will be able to use an enhanced special attack more often in the builds of teams playing from attribute anomalies.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Having figured out how Piper’s skills work and which eidos are most useful for this character, we can highlight a number of general pros and cons of this heroine:

Leveling

Raising Piper to level 60, taking into account pumping all her skills to the maximum level, will require spending the following consumables:

Best builds for Piper in Zenless Zone Zero

Piper Wheel is one of the few representatives of the Anomaly specialty who specialize in accumulating from enemies attribute anomalies and causing negative effects corresponding to the elements. The heroine is valued due to her relative indispensability for any squad builds that focus on the instant damage of Onslaught or causing Chaos through the collision of two attributes. Due to the mechanics, the girl deals a lot of damage, weakens enemies and increases the damage of her team while meeting the requirements of inclinations. Piper's assembly is formed around the following indicators:

• knowledge of anomaly — increases damage from calling an anomaly;
• anomaly control — speeds up the process of filling the physical element indicator;
• physical attack bonus — increases both direct damage from skills and from calling an anomaly;
• ATK — the basic damage-dealing characteristic, on which all DPS inflicted depends;
• penetration chance — determines the chance with which the agent will ignore the enemy’s defense.

Critical Chance and Damage are not a priority as Elemental Summon Damage cannot be critical, but the assembly itself is greatly complicated due to the need for a careful balance of characteristics. Next, we’ll take a closer look at how to put together the best build for Piper in ZZZ: we’ll select sets of drive disks for the agent, select an amplifier and show the best units, taking into account the banbu.

Best amplifier [weapon]

Piper's best weapon is her Roaring Car signature amplifier, which offers high base boosts to important stats and increases attack power.

Best Drive Discs [artifacts]

Artifacts for Piper should increase priority characteristics, which make up the overall effectiveness of the character. First of all, you should pay attention to knowledge и anomaly controlAs well as attack power. Drive discs give bonuses if you have 2 or 4 pieces from one set, which is why you can combine them in a 4+2 ratio, receiving bonuses from two sets at once. The best kits for Piper are:

Drive disk	Effects	Recommendation
Ferocious heavy metal	2 parts: physical damage +10%. 4 parts: When a squad member performs Rush, the agent deals 35% more damage over 12 seconds.	An excellent option for characters who deal direct physical damage. Aimed at increasing overall damage, but requires execution "Onslaught", which Piper can do both independently and in a squad with other physical-type characters.  Can be combined with “Hormon Punk” and “Fugu Electro” to balance stats or passive bonuses to other characteristics.
Fugu-electro	2 parts: penetration chance +8%. 4 parts: Ultimate deals 20% more damage. After using the ultimate skill, the agent's attack power increases by 15% for 12 seconds.	Fugu Electro is good for characters with explosive damage, which can give Piper away. With its help, the damage dealt to stunned enemies will increase several times, but to activate the passive you will have to use your ult. Suitable as an alternative to “Ferocious Heavy Metal” in the position of the main damage dealer or in a build of two damage dealers, where Piper is preferred in using her superpower. Can be combined with the Ferocious Heavy Metal or Hormone Punk half set.

In another guide you can read more about drive disks in ZZZ and figure out which ones are suitable for whom.

Best Banbu

When choosing a Banbu for Piper, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the group and the main DD, in particular. A unique banbu for the Wil faction and Lucy not now, but there is an epic option for agents of the Anomaly - Magnitoba, which attracts enemies to the center of a small area. In addition, you can pay attention to the following little helpers that fit into groups that cause a “Chaos” reaction:

Banbu	Skills
Revolverb	Fires a shot of a random type: powerful fireworks - deals great physical damage and significantly accumulates an attribute anomaly, regular fireworks - deals physical damage and accumulates an attribute anomaly, misfires - the shot does not fire. When the squad has at least 2 physical attribute agents, increases the accumulation of anomaly during a chain of Banbu attacks. Fires a series of shots at the target, dealing physical damage and generating a lot of attribute anomaly.
Magnitoba	Continuously pulls enemies towards you, dealing physical damage to them and accumulating a physical attribute. When there is a minimum in the squad 1 agent with the Anomaly specialization, the damage of the active skill increases. Banbu attack chain is missing.
Stekerbu	Fires an electromagnetic cannon at an enemy, causing electrical damage and generating an attribute anomaly. When the squad has at least 2 Electrical Attribute Agents, increases the accumulation of attribute anomaly during a chain of Banbu attacks. Attacks enemies in a large area around itself, dealing high electrical damage and increasing the accumulated attribute anomaly value.
Rocketaboo	Fires a rocket at enemies that explodes when it hits the target. Creatures in the affected area receive fire damage and also accumulate a large amount of fire anomaly. When the squad has at least 2 fire attribute agents, increases the accumulation of fire anomaly during a chain of banbu attacks. Fires a rocket at enemies that explodes when it hits the target. Creatures in a wide area of ​​effect receive fire damage and also accumulate a huge amount of fire anomaly.
crybaby	Throws a grenade at an enemy, dealing fire damage and generating an attribute anomaly. When the squad has at least 2 fire attribute agents, increases the accumulation of fire anomaly during a chain of banbu attacks. Throws a grenade at an enemy, dealing fire damage and causing a powerful fire anomaly to build up.

For more information about assistants, see a detailed guide to Banbu with a tier list of the best.

Teams

As a representative of the Piper Anomaly in Zenles, Zon Zero can act as both a main DPS hero and a secondary one. She perfectly accumulates attribute anomaly, attacks in an area and boasts good instant damage. It may not be easy for a girl to select squads, since within the framework of physical training. attribute she competes with other agents, and within the Sons of Calydon faction there is little choice. The best units for Piper are as follows:

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Banbu	Features
Piper	Jane Yanagi Miyabi	Aster The Caesar	Red Mokkus Officer Cui	A build led by the Abnormal Damager Jane, Miyabi or Yanagi, who takes up all the time in the battle arena. Astra increases the overall DPS of allies due to universal enhancements and provides a comfortable change. The set complements the squad with auxiliary buffs on the efficiency of filling the attribute indicator and anomaly knowledge points. Caesar will increase the defensive and offensive power of the squad, increasing the damage received by enemies and the attack power of the ally under the shield.
Piper	Soldier 11 Bernice Vivian	Lucy Caesar Pulchra	Red Mokkus Rocketaboo	An expensive anomalous squad with the Burning effect. In such a team, it makes sense for Soldier 11 to collect the characteristics of knowledge and control of the anomaly to increase the overall damage of the team. Lucy, although she acts as a buffer, will show herself well in the role of a secondary DD, so it is recommended with a crit build. As a replacement for Lucy, you can consider Pulchra. With the legendary Caesar or Bernice, characters can be freely shuffled to achieve certain effects from the pocket. Vivian will increase the damage of the anomaly and will periodically deal damage to targets during Piper's rotation, while being "in the pocket".
Piper	Grace Harumasa	The Rina	Stekerbu Elektrobu	A team that plays off Chaos and electrical damage. The best option would be to choose Seth, who helps with Shock, the effectiveness of anomaly imposition, and the increase in knowledge of anomaly. With Rina, the duration of Shock will increase, and with her, the final damage from Chaos will increase, which Piper will close.
Piper	Kolyada Pulchra	Lucy Yuzuha	Rocketaboo Magnitoba	Any of the two teams will allow you to maintain synergy both by faction and by attribute. Lucy helps Piper close the need for a partner from the faction, as does Pulhra, and Kolyada combines with Lucy. Piper acts as a damage dealer, relying on support from supports. It is recommended to collect the Tyrene girl in "control" to cause the Onslaught effect.
Nekomata Corinne	Piper	Lucy	Revolverb Avocabu	Nekomata acts as the main damage dealer, and Piper should increase her damage by creating anomalies. Lucy accumulates energy by performing support duties. DD can be replaced with Korin if the required five is not available.

Conclusion

Piper Wheel in ZZZ is a strong representative of the Anomaly class with convenient mechanics and impressive damage, which is enough to complete all the initial combat content. The heroine's gameplay revolves around holding an empowered special skill to perform Spinning Wheel, which deals continuous damage and applies an attribute anomaly when hitting enemies. In the absence of energy, the girl does not lose comfort, since she can spin the wheel after each dodge. But as far as squads and full rotation are concerned, the selection of allies is greatly hampered by the need to be present on the field for a long time.
