Zenless Zone Zero: Yanagi Best Build Guide
miHoYo

Tsukishiro Yanagi is the newest limited S-Rank Agent to be added to Zenless Zone Zero, and she is also the first limited Anomaly Electric Agent to join the roster. Yanagi is a powerful Agent able to deal a ton of damage thanks to her unique [Polarity Disorder] effect, which is a slightly less powerful but still deadly form of Disorder. She is a great tool to have in your arsenal of characters, and in this guide, we’ll go over everything you need to know to build her just right. Let’s get started.

Yanagi is a limited S-Rank Electric Anomaly Agent who is part of the Hollow Special Operations Section 6 faction. She is a powerful DPS character that is able to deal a ton of damage with Disorder triggers while also dealing additional damage thanks to her [Polarity Disorder] effect, which is a lesser but still powerful version of the Disorder effect.

Due to her reliance on triggering Disorder to deal a ton of damage, Yanagi is best played with other Agents who are able to build up anomaly quickly. The best case scenario for this is Burnice, who is able to apply Burn ridiculously fast, which leads to some amazing disorder hits. Having said that, Jane Doe makes an excellent teammate for Yanagi.

However, Yanagi can still proc Disorder even without other allies, so running her in a monoelectric team is quite possible as well. Overall, she is a really fast Agent, with a unique playstyle that focuses on switching her stances and constantly applying Shock on enemies so that she can later trigger Disorder.

PROS CONS
  • Fast playstyle
  • Can apply Disorder without needing other teammates
  • Great Anomaly application
  • Requires a decent amount of micro-managing and keeping up combos to bring out the most of her damage.
  • Requires a lot of field time

Yanagi Best W-Engines


When it comes to W-Engines Yanagi’s signature W-Engine the Timeweaver pulls out ahead by a huge margin, with no other Anomaly W-Engine coming close. It simply benefits Yanagi way too much thanks to its Anomaly Buildup Rate increase, flat Disorder DMG boost, and just pure ATK stats. That being said, Yanagi can still do well with some F2P craftable options, so you can still pull for her even if you’re not planning on pulling for the W-Engine.

Yanagi Best Disk Drives


For Disk Drives, you’ll want to rock four pieces of the Chaos Jazz Set combined with two pieces of the Freedom Blues. This combination will allow your Yanagi to deal the most amount of damage possible.

MAIN STATS

Yanagi Skill Priority


Finally, for skills, you’ll first want to focus on Yanagi’s Core, followed by her Special, Ultimate, Basic, Assist, and finally Dodge skills. Given that most of Yanagi’s damage comes from her Disorder and Polarity Disorder procs you’ll mostly want to build up her Core and special, as those are the ones directly tied to the damage of her Disorder triggers. Everything else can come after!

Skill Priority
Core = Special Attack > Chain Attack > Basic Attack > Assist > Dodge
