Yuzuha in ZZZ: build assembly, squad guide and leveling

Yuzuha Guide in Zenless Zone Zero with an analysis of the "Trick or Treat" status and the principle of triggering aftershocks colored in the attributes of allies. In battle, the girl actively changes agents in the arena to replenish passive charges and update statuses. As a support, she is valued for increasing ATK and bonuses to inflicted DSP and abnormal statuses, including Chaos.

All these effects are primarily beneficial to Abnormal Damage Dealers, so although increasing overall damage and attack power is suitable for any agent, the mischievous tanuki prefers combinations with fighters of a certain mechanic. Accordingly, when building, "control", "knowledge" and equipment with passive effects on the efficiency of filling the "attribute circle" also come first.

Ukinami is a mischievous and fearless girl with a pet tanuki named Kama. Friends and acquaintances note that the girl has a mocking character and loves harmless pranks. It is noteworthy that the devices on the tanuki's head resemble a cochlear implant - a prosthesis that restores the ability to hear to a deaf person.

How to Get Yuzuha in Zenless Zone Zero

The opportunity to knock out Yuzuha will be available in the first half of version 2.1, which will last from 16 July to 6 August 2025. During this period, banners of the heroine and her signature weapon, "Seven Tricks of Tanuki", will become available in the list of "Dedicated Channels".

Follow banner schedule, so as not to miss the rerun of Yuzuha and other interesting agents.

Features

Pumping increases the value of the basic characteristics of ATK, HP and defense. In the table you can study the dynamics of the main indicators.

Studying the inclinations will allow you to increase the basic control of the anomaly with 88 to 124., which will have a positive effect on the application of attributive statuses.

How skills work

In ZZZ, support Yuzuha supports anomalous damage dealers with buffs that are unique to them: she significantly speeds up the accumulation of anomaly, gives a bonus to the total damage dealt, increases ATK and damage from attribute effects and Chaos. Her skills involve frequent entry into the field to receive charges of "Sweetness" and impose the "Tricky Tricky" status on opponents.

When in the arena, Tanuki relies primarily on parrying with a counterattack and a strengthened special skill - these skills are enough to gain several passive points, activate buffs and apply effects to enemies. The skill set also includes Aftershock, which allows you to deal damage while out of the field, and energy recovery for allies through the super ability.

The order of leveling skills

Prowess = Basic Attacks > Super Ability (QTE) = Special Attack (EX) > Assistance = Dodges

The priority for leveling up the heroine's skills is based on the frequency of their use and their usefulness to the team:

1. The inclinations need to be pumped up first of all, since the heroine's "talents" contain all the buffer effects. B/a is used for the application, additionally in this section there is an aftershock, which works while the girl is "in the pocket".
2. Tanuki's ult generates energy for allies, and the amount of recovery directly depends on the ability level. Also, the skill is used on a permanent basis to obtain charges of "Sweets" and apply a debuff to opponents.
3. The heroine combines her special attack with a parry and counterattack, similarly gaining passive charges and triggering the "Tanuki's Blessing" buff to increase the party's ATK.
4. Help and Evasion are not a priority and are developed when there are free resources.

How to play as Yuzuha

With a of the skill or ult the heroine applies the "Trick or Treat" effect to monsters and begins to attack them every second with the "Caramel Firecracker" skill. When ally strikes for the first time on an enemy with this effect, a "Combination of Flavors" is called out, which colors the heroine's hits when "out of bounds" in the color of the companion's attribute. Additionally, with the help of these skills, the "Blessing of the Tanuki" buff is spread to all allies, increasing their ATK and overall damage for 40 seconds.

Below the HP and energy indicators there is a "Sweets" counter, you can get them in several ways:

• at the beginning of the battle 3 charges;
• skill with energy expenditure and super ability 2 charges;
• Chain of attacks and defense assistance 1 charge.

The levels of this status are spent only on the aftershock "Yummy Barrage", which is carried out every 8 seconds on enemies with the "Sweet Trash" effect and helps fill the "circle" of the anomaly corresponding to the "Firecrackers" and "Taste Combination" element. The debuff lasts on enemies from 18 to 48 seconds depending on the level of pumping the enhanced special attack.

To sum it up, in the tanuki rotation it is necessary to adhere to the alternation of the main skills according to the following principle:

1. Spend energy on a skill to apply a negative status to enemies and a buff from the inclinations to allies - over the next 18-48 seconds, the anomaly will accumulate faster on enemies, and companions will receive damage bonuses for 40 seconds.
2. Switch to your preferred agent and hit multiple times to trigger Flavor Combination. Now all aftershocks and off-field hits from the support hero will match the ally's attribute.
3. Continue to switch agents and combine the skills of the two Abnormal Damage Dealers while Ukinami has "Sweetness". Once the charges run out, call the heroine to the field and use parry by holding the b/a button.
4. When the effects expire or when you need to change the attribute of "Flavor Combination", use the skill or ultimate again.

The best eidoses

Upon receiving a duplicate of the Mischievous Tanuki, her mental picture is filled with useful skill boosts:

Yuzuha's best cons are the first, second and sixth.

• M1 is a promising investment due to the powerful increase in DPS. In addition to restoring energy, the girl will be able to cut off enemy resistances and distribute an even greater bonus to damage from attribute effects and white reaction.
• В M2 contains another bonus to the overall damage dealt, an additional chain attack on the enemy without stunning and a reduction in the cooldown of aftershock from 8 seconds to 6.
• M6 turns the support girl into an additional damage-dealing fighter who actively fights on the field and spends all passive charges not on aftershocks, but on a powerful explosion. However, the const also gives a huge increase to the buffer potential: after such an explosion, the overall team Chaos deals 105-315% more damage.

For F2P players, it is better to stick with the 2nd constellation, unless you plan to fill the entire "card" in the future. When choosing between signature weapons and constellations, the "Seven Tricks of Tanuki" ball is preferred, because it gives additional "knowledge" to the squad.

Strengths and Weaknesses

While Ukinami has a lot of obvious advantages, there are also a few minor disadvantages.

Leveling

The resources for the mischievous tank correspond to its attribute and class feature: to increase the level and develop skills, you will need physical chips and Support tokens.

Leveling	Materials	Cost
Level	×4 Entry Level Support Token ×32 Top Support Token ×30 Ruler Token	×800 000
Skills	×25 Basic physical chip ×75 Advanced physical chip ×250 Specialized physical chip ×5 Pass to the Hamster Cage	×2 491 000
Makings	×60 High-dimensional data from a new enemy. ×9 Cast of Fanaticism	×405 000

Best Builds for Yuzuha in ZZZ

As a full-fledged support, the girl needs to pump up the characteristics that affect the speed of updating all statuses and the size of the provided buffs based on their own indicators. The most important stats are "control" и ATK, because the amount of enhancements provided through deposits depends on them.

Additionally, you can consider energy recovery, a bonus to physical damage, penetration and "knowledge" in sub-stats - this will allow Ukinami to help the team with damage, especially if she participates in filling the physical "circle". In turn, she does not need defensive characteristics, since she rarely appears on the battlefield and parries enemy techniques with an umbrella well during the battle.

Rating of amplifiers

Signal "Seven Tricks of Tanuki" is definitely the best weapon for Yuzuha, because it gives bonus "control" to the owner and "knowledge" to all allies. If knocking out a signature is not in the plans, it can be replaced with alternatives with ATK in the main stat and passive, energy recovery and even "penetration".

Amplifier	Effect
Seven Tricks of Tanuki ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Base attack power 48-713 Energy recharge: 24-60%	Whenever the wielder deals physical damage with an empowered special attack or super ability, their Anomaly Control is increased by 30 for 40 seconds. Whenever this agent's Aftershock hits an enemy, the entire squad's Anomaly Knowledge is increased by 60 for 40 seconds. Only one of these effects can be active per squad.
Stylish little thing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Base attack power 48-713 ATK: 12-30%	Whenever any squad member enters the battlefield via Quick Assist, Chain Attack, Defense Assist, or Evasion Assist, the agent with this item gains 5-7 energy. Occurs no more than once every 5 seconds. When an agent with this device spends 25 or more energy, the entire squad deals 10-16% more damage. Lasts 20 seconds, can stack up to 2 times. Repeated casts refresh the duration. The effect is shared across the entire squad.
Cradle of crying ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack 46-684 Punching: 9,6-24%	A hero with this amplifier restores energy by 0,6-1,2 units/sec faster. When a character hits an enemy, all other squad members hit the targets on 10-20% more damage for 3 sec. While the effect is active, its value increases by 1,7-3,3% once every 0,5 seconds, and the maximum increase is 10,2-19,8%. Restarting the effect refreshes the duration, but not the damage increase.
Ball for playing without rules ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack 40-594 Energy recharge: 20-50%	If a character's attack with this weapon triggers a counterattack with the attribute, the crit chance. hits for all squad members increases by 12-20% for 12 seconds.

What drives to install

Vinyl records are chosen according to a similar principle: the most important thing is the presence of attack power, control and useful bonuses for the team.

Drive disks	Recommendation
Astral voice 2 Piece: Attack power increases by 10% 4 Piece: When any squad member enters the battlefield with Quick Aid, the entire squad gains 1 level of Astra (maximum 3 levels) for 15 seconds. Repeated casts refresh the duration. Each level of the effect increases the damage dealt by the character performing Quick Aid by 8%. Only one effect can be active for a squad at a time.	A priority set for support, as it increases the key stat and works off of quick help. Considering that the heroine often uses the enhanced special skill to change to another agent, maintaining and refreshing the duration of the effect stacks will not be difficult. It is recommended to install 2 parts "Swing Jazz" to restore energy. Also suitable "Hormone Punk" и "The Ballad of Phaeton", if there are not enough ATK or control units.
Freedom Blues 2 Piece: knowledge of anomaly +30 points 4 Piece: When hitting an enemy with a special attack that is enhanced, the enemy's resistance to the accumulation of anomaly of the agent's attribute with this item is reduced by 20% for 8 sec. Effects for the same attribute do not stack.	Not a bad set for an assistant to an abnormal DD, because the girl actively fills the anomaly indicators and has a direct impact on the final damage of the entire pack. But at the moment there is no exact information whether the set works only for the physical attribute or for all effects. To maximize the buff, place "Astral Voice", "Hormone Punk" or "The Ballad of Phaeton"If there are problems with energy, then the solution will be "Swing Jazz".
Swing jazz 2 Piece: Energy recovery increases by 20%. 4 Piece: After activating a chain of attacks or a super ability, all party members deal 15% more damage for 12 sec. Identical passive effects do not stack.	The set is best considered as an addition to the main set of 4 pieces, since priority squads rarely call CA for a quick refresh of the effect. You can collect the entire set for the first time or when playing with Intimidation supports. Best viewed from "Astral Voice" и "Hormone Punk" on ATK or "The Ballad of Phaeton" due to lack of control.
The Ballad of Phaethon 2 parts: anomaly control +8%. 4 parts: When any squad member uses a Enhanced Special Attack, the agent with this item gains 46 Anomaly Knowledge for 8 seconds. If the Enhanced Special Attack was not used by the agent with this item, the agent with this item gains 25% more Ethereal Damage.	Suitable as 2 parts to complement the main set, in rare cases you can consider a full set for sub-dd. It is important to consider that the second part of the passive will be useless, because the tanuki girl deals damage with a physical attribute, not ether.

Recommended Stats

In the table you can see the recommended stats for each drive slot:

Approximate values to aim for during assembly:

• health: from 9 units;
• attack power: not less than 3 units;
• "control": from 200 and above.
• "knowledge": optionally 190-250 points through sub-stats.

Which banbu is suitable?

Yuzuha's Banbu is chosen based on the team composition. The best options would be "Ms. Esme" when paired with Tiren Alice, or "Robin" when paired with Aristocrat Vivian.

Banbu	Skills
Mrs. Esme	Takes off, randomly summoning three spectral bubble or twinkling stars. Touching bubble, the character restores HP. Twinkling Star Replenishes energy. The higher the percentage of HP an agent has on the battlefield, the higher the chance that Mistress Esme will summon twinkling star. If there is 1 or more characters from the Nightmare Shack in the party, the effects of the star and bubble are increased by 30%. Throws a magic bomb on a chain of attacks, dealing physical damage and accumulating a lot of physical attribute anomaly.
Robin	Fires a card from a magic gun with a random effect: massive physical damage, physical damage and massive stun, or ethereal damage and accumulate ethereal anomaly. If the squad has 1 agent from the Mockingbird faction. The effect of Banbu's skill is determined by active character in the squad and the following buffs begin to take effect: Attack - physical damage and bonus to physical damage; Intimidation - Increases the effectiveness of stunning and helps with point accumulation; Anomaly - increases the effectiveness of the application and helps with the invocation of Infection. During a chain of attacks, throws a magic grenade that deals etheric damage and accumulates the corresponding anomaly on the enemy.
Knight (event)	Periodically jumps on a toy horse, creating "Knight Stars". When the character picks up a star, he restores energy. If there is an agent of the class in the squad Support: By picking up stars, the agent gains a buff to attack power that scales with the banbu's level.  Summons minions that deal Ethereal damage up to 10 times.
Agent Gulliver	Fires 3 penetrating shots, dealing electrical damage and accumulating attribute anomaly. If there are at least in the detachment 2 agents from Section 6: Banbu's skill or attack chain hits an enemy with Shock, damage increases by 30%. If the attack hits an enemy without Shock, it accumulates 60% more Electric Anomaly. Fires a single powerful penetrating shot, dealing Electric damage and causing massive Anomaly buildup.

Squad Guide for Yuzuha

Tanuki specializes in supporting Anomaly class fighters: she provides them with specialized buffs to speed up application, increase damage with attribute effects and Chaos. More universal buffs include ATK increases and a general damage bonus, so Ukinami can be useful in a wider range of builds.

What characters does it go with?

The table shows the heroes with which the girl combines best as a support.

Character	Specialty/Attribute	Features
Hoshimi Miyabi Section 6	Anomaly Frost	To remove "Ice Burn", you need to quickly knock down the heroine's frost attribute with another reaction. Thanks to the accumulation of physical anomaly on targets, Miyabi will be able to re-enter the battle without unnecessary interference and under the influence of buffs. The girls' bundle is best considered in a hyper-carry build with Astra Yao or another Abnormal DD.
Jane Doe Special group of the criminal investigation department	Anomaly Physical	Jane quickly builds up "Onslaught", which deals a critical hit. She is distinguished by her mobility and ability to adapt to combat conditions without losing damage due to the variability of actions.
Alice Timefield Nightmare Cabin	Anomaly Physical	Zaychikha is suitable both by faction and by specialization, creating a strong self-sufficient combo with her partner. She can independently cause the "white effect" of Chaos, which is subsequently enhanced by the abilities of the tanuki.
Yanagi Tsukishiro Section 6	Anomaly Electro	Yanagi quickly accumulates the Electro attribute on targets due to the high "control" indicator and causes "Shock". Will look good in mono-squads in the damager position and as an applicator for Chaos.
Burnice White Sons of Calydon	Anomaly Fire	The barmaid imposes a fire anomaly and causes a DoT effect, while not taking much time from the main damage dealer. She is a pocket assistant, which in conjunction with the mischievous tanuki can become the basis for creating a group.
Vivian Banshee Mockingbirds	Anomaly Ether	Aristokatka is good at applying the Ethereal attribute and increases damage thanks to "anomaly emission". The buffs of the two heroines stack, which has a positive effect on the overall team numbers.
Grace Howard Plant "Belobog"	Anomaly Electro	Does a good job of applying Shock and can take up the second applicator slot. Does a comparatively worse job as a team mainstay, so requires cooperation with another Abnormal DD.
Piper Wil Sons of Calydon	Anomaly Physical	An epic DPS agent with solid damage and easy-to-learn mechanics. When activating his passive ability, he grants a damage bonus that stacks with Ukinami's passive.
Astra Yao Constellation Lyra	Support Ether	Event Support heroine provides bonus to ATK, general damage increase and can heal allies when ult is activated. Preferred addition for DPS who need crit. damage.
Alexandrina (Rina) Household staff agency "Victoria"	Support Electro	Support for strengthening electric groups. Extends the duration of Shock, increases penetration for squad members, but requires supplementing the Electro team with a character or a representative of the Victoria Household Agency faction.
Lucy Sons of Calydon	Support Fire	Gives a boost to the entire party's ATK and calls for quick help for the next agent. Doesn't require an additional passive to be activated, because it only contains a boost to the pigs.
Nicole Demara Sly Hares	Support Ether	Free Support hero with a pull of enemies to one point. Cuts the defense of enemies and applies the ethereal attribute.
Sokaku Section 6	Support Ice	Ice support that buffs the next agent up to 1000 ATK, and with an additional passive active, extends the bonus to ice damage. Can act in groups as a buffer, entering the field as part of an attack chain.
Caesar King Sons of Calydon	Defense Physical	Accumulates stunning on targets well and provides all characters with strong shields. In addition, it increases the ATK stat. Ensures the survivability of the squad in difficult battles.
Pulchra Sons of Calydon	Intimidation Physical	To implement the heroine, you need to include another available representative of the "Sons of Calidon", and also have M6. When assembled into "control", it can act as an additional applicator and quickly return an ally to the battle thanks to a left shift.
Seth Lowell Special group of the criminal investigation department	Defense Electro	Increases the speed of applying the attribute effect and the "knowledge" parameter for the character under the shield created by him.
Asaba Harumasa Section 6	Attack Electro	Gathers "quivers" for rapid attacks. Can gain charges for triggering an attribute effect on an enemy. Considered the primary damage dealer in a limited number of squads.

Best team samples

Below you can see promising squads for Yuzuha, with which there will be no problems when passing combat content in caverns, and with proper pumping and endgame modes.

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Banbu	Features
Alice Jane	Vivian	Yuzuha	Struggle	A group with a variation for Onslaught, Infection and Anomaly Emission. In a squad with Alice, it will be possible to activate buds and the Chaos effect much more often, and with Jane, the statuses will be able to inflict critical hits. In addition, Vivian and Tanuki will provide the squad with a volume bonus to white reaction damage.
Miyabi Yanagi	Vivian Bernice	Yuzuha	Gulliverbu Struggle	Option with "pocket" support. Both sub-dds prefer to quickly leave the field after a short rotation, without losing the effectiveness of the effect application. But it is also important to note that the characters presented in the first two cells are compatible with each other, so they can be combined in any way. And the Support heroine has a flexible distribution of time on the field and easily adapts to the selected squad.
Piper	Pulchra Caesar	Yuzuha	Red Mokkus	You can create a group with Onslaught using epic agents. Piper is considered an active DD, taking up a lot of time on the field. A certain advantage will have Pulchra with M6, having a disk in the build for anomaly control for application from the "pocket". If the damager lacks protection on the field, then Caesar with solid protection will do.
Harumasa	Qingyi	Yuzuha	Stekerbu	Harumasa gains quiver charges from anomaly accumulation, which he spends on swift dash attacks. Ukinami gives the squad a bonus to ATK and speeds up the process of Shock accumulation on enemies to quickly get three stacks of the archer's passive.
Corinne Billy	Enby	Yuzuha	Amillion Packer	At the start, the heroine will be a good help in passing the initial content. She provides an increase to ATK and a general damage bonus without fulfilling the conditions. With the appearance of Anomaly or an ally from the "Nightmare Hut" on the account, the girl will be able to distribute other equally useful enhancements.

Is it worth knocking out Yuzuha?

Yuzuha is a strong combat unit focused on supporting allies with abnormal mechanics with various buffs, including those suitable only for them. Such buffs include more effective application, bonuses to damage from attribute effects and Chaos. However, the heroine is not limited to this: the set also includes an increase in ATK, a bonus to total damage, calling for quick help with several skills and energy generation.

All the effects considered are applied through skill and super ability and last a long time, greatly increasing the level of damage from any DPS agent and easily intertwining into team rotations. As for the general assembly, it is moderately variable: based on the mechanics, it is not difficult to choose drive disks, and among the amplifiers there are wonderful budget options. If we talk about the value of the Tanuki itself, then at the time of release it is the best support for abnormal DD and the second most useful after Astra for all other groups.
