Transcripts
Hey, Guoben here with a guide on Soldier 11. The only person of her faction right now, how lonely,
but you can make her feel better by playing and building her right. So today we’ll go through her
kit, gameplay tips and mechanics, cool combos, and her best builds with disk drives and w-engines. We
will also discuss some teams. Like and sub and share if you enjoy this video, and let’s begin.
Soldier 11 is an S Rank Fire Attack type character, meaning she is a Main
DPS. She has a decently high ATK and her core stat is CRIT Rate,
so she will scale with it as you level her up, for a base of 19.4% at Level 60. Now onto abilities.
Soldier 11’s Basic Attacks have two modes. You have the mash your basic attack button
and do no damage mode, or the level 99 mafia boss fire basic attack mode. Basically when
timing your basic attacks correctly, you’ll transform your basic attacks
from Warmup Sparks to Fire Suppression. This goes from a weak physical attack,
to a fiery basic attack that is heavily buffed by her kit and Fire DMG% buffs. A rotation
of Fire Suppression looks to do at least 3.5x the damage of a Warmup Sparks combo. Also note
that the 4th basic in the string does way more damage than the rest and will be a heavy attack.
So your goal when playing her is to time her basics correctly giving her
an insane on field presence. She doesn’t need an EX or Charged attack to be able
to spam powerful on field attacks, just patience and muscle memory.
The way you time her basic attacks is kinda hard to explain. Basically you want to basic
attack near the end of the animation from your previous attack. So you basic 1, and basic 2 near
the end of the animation. Continue doing that for each basic and they’ll all be empowered.
There are also audio cues for each one, a woosh, a slash, and a whip crackle type audio sound. You
can use these to get into the rhythm, and turning up the SFX Volume meter may help.
The very first basic won’t be empowered unless you use an attack before it.
So our first combo is basic 1 2 3 4 all with perfect timing.
If that didn’t help you, I recommend going into Free VR training mode and turning off
the enemy’s movements and just going to a corner and practicing the timing.
Her EX Special is a big fiery slash doing lots of damage and daze in an AOE pattern. After using it,
your basic attacks and Dash Attacks are transformed into their enhanced version for 15s
or 8 procs. So basically after using her EX, you won’t need to time her basic attacks to get the
empowered versions for 8 basics, or 2 full basic strings. So here, you can just mash the button.
Her EX Special has a long animation time, and you can animation cancel this with
a swap. Therefore we can do another combo. EX Special into backwards swap into your support,
into EX Special on them, into quick assist on Soldier 11. This chains a
lot of damage in a quick amount of time. The reason we backwards swap is because
our support is on the slot to our left in an optimal team order. Backwards swapping
can be achieved via the C key on mouse and keyboard, and you can rebind this at will.
Her chain attack is your regular high damaging chain attack, but she will also gain the 8
Fire Suppression stacks here so she can spam basics without having to time them.
And finally her ultimate is a smaller aoe attack but again lets her trigger another
8 Fire Suppression attacks. So if you want to maximize Fire Suppression hits without having
to time your attacks, you can do the following combo. EX Special Basic 1234 Basic 1234 Ultimate
and then two more Basic 1234s. You won’t have time to do all of this on a stunned boss though.
On a stunned boss you have a limited time to act. You’ll want to stun the enemy, chain attack,
end on a support or a fast animation unit, and then quick assist or swap to Soldier.
Then you’ll hopefully have kept enough energy to EX Special into Ultimate into 2 Empowered
Basic attack strings. If you are running her signature you may want to pop in a quick 4
Enhanced Basics just before the Ultimate in order to maximize the brimstone’s combat ATK% buff.
Versus trash mobs you’ll have to time your empowered basic attack combos, and then you
can hit 'em with the razzle dazzle quick assist combos if you need to chase them across the map.
I also recommend grouping enemies together if you can, I like using Ben for this,
and this lets me hit them all with the smaller aoe attacks and my full combo in general.
Finally her Core Passive and Additional Ability. When triggering fire suppression during her basics
or dash attacks, you increase that attack’s DMG by up to 70% at max level. What this means is
those puny physical attacks are even weaker in comparison. You’ll really want to get the timing
down right, and if you can’t, maybe Soldier isn’t for you. Though her EX Special, Chain Attacks,
and Ultimates do give her 8 Fire Suppression stacks each, so you can always abuse them.
Her additional ability will grant her 10% Fire DMG,
buffing all fire type attacks she deals. Then she gains an additional 22.5% Fire
DMG versus Stunned enemies. This makes sure she is great on field at all times,
but even stronger during that burst period when the enemy is sitting down crying.
So Soldier 11 is a very potent DPS that can make use of her most powerful attacks when she likes.
With tons of weak enemies you can always chain attack and gain free Fire Suppression stacks
to keep on going ham. My only problem is all she does is damage, and so she is susceptible
to power creep when we get a future limited fire DPS. But for now she is our only fire
DPS and is uncontested in this role, allowing for a solid start to Zenless Zone Zero’s meta.
Onto the mindscapes. Her first one is nice for
quality of life. If she has under 40 energy, her energy is recovered to 80. So ideally you
EX Special, swap out to another unit with the animation cancel, and then swap back in and
activate this ASAP in order to abuse the maximum energy it can provide. This works
for our quick assist support combo. So now you can EX Special, Backwards Swap animation cancel,
EX Special on your Support, and then EX Special again on Soldier. Whether you
swap after that is dependent on your energy. You can also save this EX Special if needed.
Her M2 is just a really nice DMG% buff to basics, dash attacks,
and dodge counters when she triggers her fire suppression. Not much else to say.
Her M4 is another quality of life one, giving her damage reduction and an anti interrupt increase
during her Fire Suppression attacks. I don’t have M4 Soldier 11 so I can’t test this, but I imagine
this greatly reduces the impact of weaker enemies on canceling her combo with staggers. She will
also now gain invulnerability during the 4th basic hit, meaning a free i-frame and avoiding damage.
Her final Mindscape gives her 8 Stacks of Charge from her EX, Chain, or Ult,
basically like how she gains 8 Fire Suppression stacks. These will be
consumed during Fire Suppression in order to ignore 25% Fire RES,
or a 1.25x DMG increase to these attacks. Very strong final Mindscape to have.
Now let’s move onto builds. You will be equipping her with a 4 Piece Inferno Metal set and a 2 Piece
Woodpecker Electro set. You do have the option of going 4 Woodpecker, but Inferno’s 28% CRIT
rate is just unmatched in power. You’ll have to keep consistent burn uptime but that’s
fine in her current best teams. And I do not recommend Puffer Electro at all for Soldier 11.
For main stats hit her with the old CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG Disk 4,
Fire DMG% in Disk 5, and ATK% in Disk 6. Considering the high CRIT
Rate of Inferno Metal and her high innate CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG is usually advised.
For substats we will be chasing CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG and ATK%.
For W-engines Soldier 11 isn’t as bad as Ellen was. Her signature is of course synergistic with
her basic attack spamming playstyle, but since it is only an ATK% and Combat ATK% stat stick,
well then something like Starlight Engine can come quite close. And so really you
won’t miss out on much with any universal A Rank W-engine. The only ones that fall off
going from a burst to standard DPS rotation are Nekomata’s Steel Cushion and Street Superstar,
as we can only really abuse their passives in our burst rotation. I definitely recommend
picking up Starlight Engine as it’s a very nice, free, and universal A Rank w-engine.
And shall we finish with teams? You’ll definitely want her Additional
Ability, so bring a Fire Support or Stun unit. These can be Lucy for Support,
or Koleda or Ben for Stun. This in fact brings us the mono fire team
of Lucy Soldier 11 and Ben. It’s very free to play friendly. Of course you can bring
in Koleda if you have her. You also have the possibility of running Ben AND Koleda,
but you lose out on a large ATK buff from Lucy as well as the Quick Assist benefits.
There is also a Disorder Anomaly team going around with Lucy Soldier 11 Piper. My only problem is
Disorder consumes the previous Anomaly. So if you proc Burn before Assault, you will consume
Burn and bye bye 28% CRIT Rate. Disorder is a huge amount of quick damage though so it could
make up for it, but you take a longer amount of time to Stun due to lacking your usual Stun
unit. It is fun and cool, but we aren’t in the endgame yet so we can’t see what is truly best.
Anyways I hope this video on Soldier 11 helped,
and like and sub if it did. Also let me know what you run with her and if you’re
a basic attack timing god. Thanks for watching, and have a guoba day.
