Pull Nome in Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.0 only if you actively run Promeia as your primary damage carry. Nome functions as a dedicated support designed to resolve Promeia's energy constraints, grant attack buffs, and enable quick-swap rotations. If your roster lacks Promeia or relies on other elemental carries, skip Nome and reserve your Polychrome.
Who Should Pull Nome?
Nome's kit is calibrated specifically for Promeia's burst profile and attack cadence:
- Pull Nome if: You have invested heavily in Promeia and need a dedicated support to maximize her burst windows and energy flow.
- Skip Nome if: You do not own Promeia, run unrelated elemental damage dealers, or operate on limited Polychrome. Generic attack teams can use her baseline stat sharing, but her performance ceiling drops significantly without Promeia.
Skill Priorities and Rotation Flow
Nome relies on minimal on-field time, entering primarily to trigger her EX Special Attack, drop a buff field, and swap out. Do not invest resources into her basic attack talent, as its damage scaling is negligible.
Prioritize her skill upgrades in this order:
- Core Skill and EX Special Attack
- Chain Attack
- Assist and Dodge
- Basic Attack (leave at baseline)
Execute her rotation in combat using the following sequence:
- Passive Energy Banking: Keep Nome off-field to accumulate energy while your stun agent pressures the enemy daze gauge.
- EX Special Deployment: Swap Nome in right before your carry attacks to place her area-of-effect buff field and trigger her passive attack boost.
- Chain Attack Refresh: Include Nome in chain attack sequences against elite enemies to extend or refresh buff durations without spending energy.
- Quick Assist Handoff: Cancel the end frames of Nome's final animation by triggering a quick assist directly into Promeia, giving your carry immediate field control under active buffs.
Limit Nome's active field time to two to three seconds per cycle.
Drive Disc and W-Engine Builds
Because Nome contributes very little personal damage, build her exclusively for Energy Regen, Attack, and Anomaly stats rather than critical strike attributes.
| Gear Slot | Recommendation | Main Stat Priority | Target Substats |
|---|---|---|---|
| Signature W-Engine | Dedicated Support Engine | Energy Regen / Team ATK Buff | N/A |
| Alternative W-Engine | Standard Support Engine (A-Rank) | Energy Generation / Decibels | N/A |
| Drive Disc 4-Piece | Swing Jazz (Support Set) | Set bonus: Energy & Chain Buffs | Energy Regen, ATK%, Flat ATK |
| Drive Disc 2-Piece | Energy Regen 2-Piece Set | Set bonus: Flat Energy Regen | Energy Regen, ATK%, Flat ATK |
| Drive Disc Slot 4 | Swing Jazz or 2-Piece Set | ATK% or Anomaly Proficiency | Energy Regen, ATK% |
| Drive Disc Slot 5 | Swing Jazz or 2-Piece Set | ATK% or Elemental DMG | Energy Regen, Flat ATK |
| Drive Disc Slot 6 | Swing Jazz or 2-Piece Set | Energy Regen Rate | ATK%, Anomaly Mastery |
Equipping an Energy Regen Rate main stat on Drive Disc Slot 6 is mandatory. Without sufficient energy regeneration, Nome cannot reliably cast her EX Special Attack every rotation, resulting in gaps in team damage amplification.
Team Compositions
Nome performs best when anchoring setups centered entirely on enabling Promeia.
- Hypercarry Stun Team: Promeia (Main DPS), Nome (Support), and a dedicated Stun agent. The stun unit inflicts daze, Nome enters to activate chain buffs and deploy her EX Special field, and Promeia executes her burst window while all buffs are active.
- Dual-Support Fast-Cycle Team: Promeia (Main DPS), Nome (Support), and a secondary defensive or universal buffer. This setup foregoes heavy daze buildup in favor of continuous rotational uptime, making it practical against multi-wave enemy encounters.
Mindscape Cinema Stopping Points
Nome provides her core utility at Mindscape Cinema 0 (M0). Additional copies are unnecessary for free-to-play or low-spending accounts.
- M0: Provides full access to her energy generation and primary multiplier sharing.
- M1: Lowers the energy cost of her EX Special Attack, easing Drive Disc substat requirements and stabilizing rotations during high-pressure boss encounters.
- M2: Adds resistance shred to her buff zone, offering the most effective damage increase for high-investment accounts.
- M3 and Above: Primarily increases Nome's personal damage scaling, which offers poor return on investment given her support role.
