Zenless Zone Zero Roxy Build Guide: W-Engines, Discs, and Teams

To build Roxy in Zenless Zone Zero, prioritize her hold EX Special Attack to rapidly build enemy Daze and trigger team-wide enhancements with minimal field time. Equip her with a 4-piece Shockstar Disco set and a Slot 6 Impact disc, pair her with an Impact-boosting W-Engine, and run her alongside high-damage carries like Claret.

Core Playstyle and Skill Leveling Priority

Roxy serves as a universal Wind Stun agent designed to enter combat, expend energy through a sustained channel, and immediately rotate out. Her main mechanic relies on holding down her EX Special Attack, spinning her coffin to deliver multihit Daze while locking in her party-wide buffs. This low-field-time loop allows high-damage carries to maximize their active field presence without sacrificing Stun frequency.

Level her skills in the following order:

1. Core Skill & EX Special Attack: Top priority. These directly govern her base Daze multipliers, team utility thresholds, and energy-to-Daze conversion during her spinning coffin attack.
2. Chain Attack & Assist Skills: Secondary priority. Upgrading these skills increases team burst transitions and defensive counter damage during parry assists.
3. Basic Attack & Dodge: Lowest priority. Roxy rarely performs standard basic attack strings or evasive maneuvers, making resource investment in these abilities inefficient.

Drive Disc Sets and Stat Priorities

Equip a 4-piece Shockstar Disco set as Roxy's primary gear baseline to maximize her Daze accumulation. Pair it with a 2-piece Swing Jazz set to gain +20% Energy Regen, ensuring her Energy pool refills quickly enough to channel her hold EX Special during key boss windows. If you prefer secondary personal damage or anomaly buildup over Energy Regen, replace Swing Jazz with a 2-piece Freedom Blues (Anomaly Proficiency) or Woodpecker Electro (Crit Rate).

For substats, target Impact and Energy Regen first. Secondary offensive rolls should focus on Crit Rate, Crit DMG, and ATK%. Because Roxy's core responsibility is forcing vulnerable Stun windows as quickly as possible, Slot 6 Impact remains non-negotiable.

Best W-Engines for Roxy

Roxy requires W-Engines that boost base Impact and reward EX Special energy expenditure with enhanced Daze scaling:

• Signature S-Rank Stun W-Engine: Roxy's optimal weapon. Provides tailored Impact scaling and exclusive buff mechanics that fully reward the sustained channel of her hold EX Special.
• Hellfire Gears (S-Rank): The top general alternative. Grants steady off-field Energy generation and substantial Impact spikes after EX Special activations.
• Steam Oven (A-Rank): Converts Energy consumption into stacking Impact bonuses, pairing naturally with the heavy Energy cost of her spinning EX Special.
• Precious Fossilized Core (A-Rank): Grants a scaling Daze boost against targets with high remaining HP, speeding up early combat phases against elite enemies and bosses.
• Demara Battery Mark II (A-Rank): Provides baseline Energy Regen and modest Electric/Stun bonuses, serving as a functional budget option.

Mindscape Cinema Investment Breakpoints

Roxy is fully functional at Mindscape 0 (M0) and does not require duplicate copies to fulfill her role in high-difficulty modes like Shiyu Defense. If pulling for additional copies, focus on these key stopping points:

• Mindscape 1 (M1): Increases the uptime of her team buffs and reduces energy friction during her hold EX Special, smoothing team rotation timings.
• Mindscape 2 (M2): Roxy's strongest early combat breakpoint. Accelerates Daze accumulation and applies a damage vulnerability debuff to enemies when entering the Stun state.
• Mindscape 4 and Mindscape 6 (M4/M6): Provide large personal Crit bonuses and multiply the raw damage of her coffin spin. These ranks shift her toward an offensive hybrid build and represent luxury investments.

Team Compositions

Pair Roxy with burst attackers who capitalize on short, frequent Stun windows:

• Mono-Wind Burst Team (Roxy + Claret + Wind/Neutral Support): Claret serves as the primary Wind attacker, spending maximum active field time executing finishers against staggered targets while Roxy provides rapid Daze and team buffs with minimal interference.
• Universal Stun Flex Team (Roxy + Any Primary Attacker + Support Buffer): Thanks to Roxy's compact on-field rotations and neutral Daze scaling, she fits into standard hypercarry rosters that need fast Stun buildup without taking away field time from the primary carry.
