Zenless Zone Zero: Pulchra Build Guide

Pulchra is the newest A-Rank Agent to get added to the Zenless Zone Zero roster and also only the second A-Rank Agent to be released after Seth. She is a Physical Stun unit that uses the new [Aftershock] mechanic, and she is a unit that revolves around building up Daze while being off-field. In this guide, we’ll go over what you need to know about Pulchra and how to build her.

Pulchra is an A-Rank Agent from the Sons of Calydon faction. She is a Physical Stun character that revolves around the newly added [Aftershock] mechanic. Pulchra is an interesting unit because she is a Stun unit that requires almost no on-field time. Most of the Daze is applied through her [Aftershock] attacks, which she does when she is outside of the field. As such, she is a great teammate for DPS units that love to hog all of the on-field time, such as the newly released Soldier 0 Anby. Anyone can see that Pulchra was made to be a premium support for SS Anby, and she does extremely well at that. Having said that, she can fall slightly short in other teams if you do not happen to have her M6, as that mindscape makes her a universal support, rather than just an [Aftershock] support. Overall, Pulchra is an interesting unit that might find spots in some free-to-play Aftershock teams, and given that you are guaranteed to get a copy of her for free if you play during the main event of Version 1.6, you might as well consider looking into building her up!

Best W-Engines

Rank	W-Engine	Effect
1	Box Cutter	Upon launching an Aftershock, the equipper's Physical DMG increases by 15%, and Daze increases by 10%, lasting 10s.
2	Blazing Laurel	Upon launching a Quick Assist or Perfect Assist, the equipper's Impact increases by 25% for 8s. When the equipper launches and hits an enemy with a Basic Attack, apply Wilt to the target for 30s, stacking up to 20 times, repeated triggers reset the duration. When any squad member hits an enemy, for every stack of Wilt applied to the target, the CRIT DMG of the Ice DMG and Fire DMG dealt by that attack increases by 1.5%. Only one of this effect can be active at a time in the same squad.
FREE TO PLAY
3	Steam Oven	For every 10 Energy accumulated, the equipper's Impact is increased by 2%, stacking up to 8 times. After Energy is consumed, this bonus remains for 8 more seconds. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.

When it comes to W-Engines, Pulchra’s best-in-slot weapon is her signature W-Engine, the [Box Cutter]. This W-Engine provides Pulchra with a decent amount of Impact to help with stunning enemies, and it also boosts her Physical DMG dealt and Impact whenever she activates an [Aftershock] attack, making it a perfect fit for Pulchra’s kit. Other alternatives include the Precious Fossilized Core and the Steam Oven.

Best Drive Discs

Disk Drive Sets

Astral Voice x4	Shockstar Disco x2	X
MAIN STATS
Disk 4	Disk 5	Disk 6
Crit Rate / Crit DMG	Physical DMG% / ATK%	Impact%
Substat priority
CRIT RATE = CRIT DMG > ATK% > PEN = ATK

For Drive Discs, you will generally want to equip Pulchra with a 4-piece Astral Voice set, coupled with a 2-piece Shockstar Disco. The Astral Voice set will give the whole team a nice DMG boost, while also boosting Pulchra’s personal DMG by a bit, while the Shockstar Disco will increase her Impact and make stunning enemies easier.

Skill Priority

Lastly, for skill priority, you will first want to focus on Pulchra’s Core, Special, Assist, Ultimate, and lastly Basic Attack and Dash. However, do keep in mind that you will rarely use basic attacks or dashes with Pulchra, so if you want, you can leave those at level 1.
