Promeia is a new character in Zenless Zone Zero who has quickly become a fan-favorite unit right after her release. She is an Ice Anomaly DPS capable of dealing impressive damage on the field. However, this is only possible if you have the best gear equipped. If you want to learn about the best ZZZ Promeia build, we’ve got all the information covered for you.
Zenless Zone Zero Promeia Overview
Promeia in Zenless Zone Zero is the newly released Ice Anomaly character in Version 2.8. Players looking to get her can pull on the current ZZZ banner using Polychromes, obtained by redeeming Zenless Zone Zero codes, or grinding the game. That said, let’s dive into her detailed overview:
- Rarity: 5-star
- Attribute: Ice
- Speciality: Anomaly
- Team Role: Main DPS, and Anomaly Buffer
- Faction: Krampus Compliance Authority
- Attack: 797.57
- DEF: 612.6
- HP: 7789
As an Anomaly character, Promeia mostly does on-field damage through the Abloom status effect rather than direct raw damage. That’s why you need to assemble the best possible ZZZ Promeia build that focuses on Anomaly Mastery and Proficiency combined with high ATK.
ZZZ Promeia Build
Here’s the best Zenless Zone Zero Promeia build that will help you to make the most out of this character.
Type Information W-Engine Frostfall Sickle Disc Drive Notes from the Chained (4-pc)
Phaethon’s Melody (2-pc)Disc Main Stat 6: Anomaly Mastery
5: Ice DMG or ATK%
4: Anomaly ProficiencyDisc Sub Stat Anomaly Proficiency > ATK% Bangboo Knightboo
To assemble the best ZZZ Promeia build, make sure to get W-Engines, which have Anomaly Mastery, Anomaly Proficiency, or PEN Ratio as the secondary stats. Try to get her signature, or other good S or A-rank W-Engines if you don’t have a decent one.
We also recommend that you repeatedly challenge the Dragon Taming Chariot stage in Routine Cleanup to farm the Notes from the Chained Disc Drive set. With all these, you’ll have one of the best characters from our Zenless Zone Zero tier list ready to carry you through the game.
Promeia W-Engine
You can find the best W-Engines for Promeia in Zenless Zone Zero, along with some of the alternatives listed:
- Frostfall Sickle (S-Rank)
- Fusion Compiler (S-Rank)
- Angel in the Shell (S-Rank)
- Electro-Lip Gloss (A-Rank)
- Weeping Gemini (A-Rank)
The Frostfall Sickle is the signature and her best W-Engine that has a high base ATK of 713, with a 30% Anomaly Mastery, 20% increased Ice DMG, and 35% Abloom damage. All the stats are relevant for Promeia, as it will increase her Abloom damage, apply Anomaly effect quicker, and help her to get more Corrosive Chill stacks.
However, if you were not able to get it, then other options like the Fusion Compiler can be a great option due to its PEN Ratio stat that ignores enemy DEF. You can even use the A-rank W-Engines for the time being, until you get a good S-rank.
Promeia Disc Drive
When it comes to the best 4-pc Disc Drives for Promeia in ZZZ, there’s only one option: Notes from the Chained. This 4-pc set is tailor-made for her, as it allows constant application of Freeze and Ablooms. But, for the remaining 2-pc set, here are a few options:
- Phaethon’s Melody
- Freedom Blues
- Chaos Jazz
- Astral Voice
- Hormone Punk
These have a decent amount of Anomaly Mastery, Anomaly Proficiency, and ATK%. So, feel free to experiment based on the stats that you’re lacking.
Promeia Teams
As discussed, Promeia is an Anomaly DPS, which means she benefits from team members who can buff her Anomaly, or ATK, and Stun weakness broken enemies. Characters like Nangong Yu, Lighter, or Lycaon can be a great stunner and make the most out of her Chain Attacks. On the other hand, you can pair Sub DPS Vivian, who can deal damage using the Ablooms of Promeia. Burnice, Grace, Soukaku, and Sunna are some of the best supports that you can use in Promeia teams.
Coming to ZZZ Bangboos, we are limited in options. Knightboo is the best Bangboo that you can pair with Promeia and Nangong Yu. If you’re using a second Ice agent like Soukaku or Lycaon, then go for Sharkboo. With Vivian, you can pair a Robin Bangboo. That said, here’s a full list of Promeia teams in Zenless Zone Zero:
Main DPS Support / Sub-DPS 2nd Support Bangboo Promeia Nangong Yu Yuzuha Knightboo Promeia Vivian Yuzuha Knightboo / Robin Promeia Lycaon Astra Yao or Yuzuha Sharkboo Promeia Nicole Soukaku Sharkboo
Zenless Zone Zero Promeia Kit
The kit of Promeia in Zenless Zone Zero revolves around generating Corrosive Chills, converting them into Trial By Cold points, and applying Abloom that deals Anomaly damage. She also enters a Bound Absolution State where her attack patterns and movements change with increased damage. Here’s a detailed explanation of her kit.
Promeia Kit Explained
- Role: Ice Anomaly DPS
- Scaling: Promeia scales off Anomaly Mastery and ATK stats.
- Corrosive Chill: When Promiea attacks an enemy or her teammates trigger an Anomaly effect, she gains stacks of Corrosive Chill.
- Trial By Cold Points: Corrosive Chill stacks can be converted into Trial By Cold. This gets consumed when she hits enemies with the Anomaly effect, and triggers Abloom, which deals extra damage.
- Shackled Absolution: Promeia throws her cloak, which remains on the field, continuously slicing the enemy and dealing Ice damage. While the cloak is active, Promeia can walk slowly, press Basic Attack to seamlessly transition into the fifth hit of her attack string, and automatically trigger a Perfect Dodge when attacked (once every 20 seconds).
- Bound Absolution State: After using EX Special Attack, Promeia will enter the Bound Absolution state and gain the Absolute Order effect. In this state, Promeia will quickly move behind the enemy automatically when they attack. Her Basic Attack or Special Attack can be used to perform multiple attacks and retract her cape. After collecting enough Trial by Cold Points, you can also deal a very powerful move.
