Pull Roxy if your Zenless Zone Zero roster lacks a dedicated S-Rank Stun specialist or if you are building a squad around Wind-attribute damage dealers who need rapid daze windows. Skip her banner if you already field built universal Stun agents such as Qingyi or Von Lycaon, as Roxy functions as an elemental upgrade rather than an account-wide necessity.
Roxy's Stun Kit and Combat Role
Roxy is the game's first dedicated S-Rank Wind Stun agent. Her combat loop centers on rapid-cycling daze delivery rather than extended field presence:
- Frontloaded Daze Buildup: She delivers high Daze values through burst attacks and swift rotations, tagging out quickly so primary carries can exploit the stunned state.
- Defensive Safety: Her EX Special attack features built-in invulnerability frames (i-frames), allowing aggressive counters into hostile attack chains without relying purely on dodge timing.
- Damage Multipliers: Her skill sequence ramps up enemy daze vulnerability, increasing the damage dealt by your primary Attack and Anomaly units during stun windows.
For accounts struggling with clear times in Hollow Zero or Shiyu Defense due to slow daze accumulation, her quick-swap rotation lowers execution difficulty and accelerates boss vulnerability phases.
Investment Priority: M0, Signature W-Engine, or Mindscape Cinema 1
If you decide to pull for Roxy, evaluate extra duplicate and weapon investments based on your Polychrome budget.
| Investment Level | Primary Value | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| M0 Baseline | Full core daze kit, multipliers, and defensive i-frames intact. | Stop here for most players; she requires no duplicates to perform her primary role. |
| Signature W-Engine | Provides tailored Impact scaling and additional Energy Generation Rate. | High priority if pulling past M0; directly accelerates daze frequency and EX Special uptime. |
| Mindscape Cinema 1 (M1) | Enhances personal energy efficiency and extends daze debuff windows. | Low priority compared to her weapon; offers convenience but lower direct daze scaling than the engine. |
Her base kit at M0 is fully functional. If you possess the resources for one additional gold-tier pull beyond the character, prioritize her signature W-Engine over M1 to secure the direct Impact scaling.
Team Synergies
Roxy triggers her squad passive when paired with Wind agents or characters sharing her faction archetype. She is best deployed in quick-swap rosters that want immediate daze setup without fighting for field time.
- Primary Wind Carries: Pair her with Wind Attackers or Anomaly agents to align with elemental weakness vulnerabilities and maximize damage during stunned phases.
- Support Amplifiers: Units like Soukaku, Nicole, or Lucy can apply attack and anomaly buffs before Roxy triggers chain attacks, amplifying the squad's subsequent burst phase.
- Universal Flex Slots: Off-field supports and sub-DPS units function cleanly alongside her, as Roxy's low field time leaves ample room for standard skill rotations.
Banner Pull Decision Checklist
Use these criteria to make your final banner decision:
- Pull Roxy if:
- Your secondary Shiyu Defense team still relies on Anby for daze buildup.
- You are actively investing in a dedicated Wind damage team.
- Your roster completely lacks an S-Rank Stun unit.
- Skip Roxy if:
- You have already built both Qingyi and Von Lycaon to cover endgame content.
- Your current Polychrome reserves are reserved for an upcoming primary damage carry.
- You lack the resources to raise a new Stun agent to match your current equilibrium level.
