Q & A

What is Yanagi's primary role in Zenist Zone Zero?

Yanagi's primary role is to deal massive damage by applying a constant flow of disorders, with a focus on electric damage and anomaly-based mechanics, making her one of the strongest premium electric DPS characters in the game.

How does Yanagi apply anomalies, and what happens when they reach full capacity?

Yanagi applies anomalies to enemies, and once the anomaly circle is full, it triggers the 'shock' effect, dealing damage every second based on anomaly proficiency. Additionally, applying a second anomaly removes the previous one and deals bonus disorder damage.

How does Yanagi's stance switching mechanic work, and what are the benefits?

Yanagi has two stances: Jogen (blue) and Kogan (yellow). Switching between these stances grants different buffs, such as increasing electric damage or penetration ratio. The key benefit is to maintain 100% uptime on these buffs by switching at least once every 8 seconds.

What is Yanagi's EX Special, and what are its key features?

Yanagi's EX Special involves holding the special attack button and costs 40 energy. It triggers a polarity disorder that applies a huge damage boost and enters Shinran Bono state, which allows Yanagi to avoid her weak physical B1 and B2 attacks, improving her combo potential.

What impact does the Shinran Bono state have on Yanagi's gameplay?

In Shinran Bono state, Yanagi can skip her physical B1 and B2 attacks, allowing for smoother and more effective combos. This state also allows for swap canceling after her B5, making her more efficient during rotations.

How do Yanagi's core skills enhance her team's damage?

Yanagi's core skill provides a 250% damage increase to disorders triggered by her team for 15 seconds after activating her EX Special. Additionally, it boosts her electric damage by 20% against enemies hit by her EX Special.

What is Yanagi's faction bonus, and how does it benefit her performance?

Yanagi's faction bonus increases her electric anomaly buildup by 45% for 8 seconds when switching stances, provided there is another electric or anomaly character on the team. This significantly enhances her ability to apply anomalies and maintain her high damage output.

What are the key differences between a shock-focused build and a burn + shock disorder team for Yanagi?

A shock-focused build focuses purely on maximizing Yanagi's electric damage and anomaly proficiency. In contrast, a burn + shock disorder team uses additional disorder characters like Bernice to apply fire and electric anomalies, aiming for maximum disorder damage across multiple damage types.

What are the best set bonuses for Yanagi’s builds, and which ones should be prioritized?

The best set bonuses for Yanagi are the four-piece Chaos Jazz with the two-piece Freedom Blues. For shock-focused builds, the four-piece Thunder Metal is also a viable option. The two-piece Hormone Punk and Puffer Electro can be used, but they are not optimal for maximizing damage.

How does Yanagi's signature weapon, the Time Weaver, enhance her performance in a disorder team?

Yanagi's signature weapon, the Time Weaver, significantly boosts her anomaly application and disorder damage. It provides a 25% bonus to disorder damage and increases anomaly proficiency, making it particularly strong for burn + shock disorder teams when paired with other disorder characters like Bernice.
