Promeia is an S-Rank Ice Anomaly Agent whose damage centers on Abloom. Her EX Special Attack can trigger additional Attribute Anomaly DMG against afflicted enemies, while her Core Passive strengthens Abloom across the squad. Building enough Anomaly Mastery and timing her Trial by Cold finishers are the keys to getting value from her kit.
Build note: This guide covers Promeia's W-Engines, Drive Discs, teams, and materials. For her debut banner details, see Zenless Zone Zero Version 2.8.
Promeia Agent Overview & Skill Priority
Core Mechanics Analysis
Promeia's Core Passive: Thief of Flames converts initial Anomaly Mastery above 150 into extra Anomaly Proficiency (1.5 per point) and squadwide Abloom DMG (0.35% per point). She begins combat with 2 Trial by Cold points. As attacks and teammate reactions build Corrosive Chill, every 50 points converts into another Trial by Cold point, up to a maximum of 2.
After the final hit of Basic Attack: Sweeping Edge, Execution - Descending Frost, or Execution - Layered Frost, hold Basic Attack or Special Attack to use EX Special Attack: Execution - Merciless Judgment. It consumes 1 Trial by Cold point and, against an enemy already affected by an Attribute Anomaly, triggers Abloom at 635% of that attribute's Anomaly DMG. Her Chain Attack and Ultimate can also trigger Abloom at 100% and 250%, respectively. Her EX Special applies Presumption of Guilt, allowing squadwide Abloom hits against the marked enemy to ignore 40% DEF when her Additional Ability is active.
Skill Priority
Prioritize the Core Skill for her Abloom scaling and Anomaly Mastery bonuses, then upgrade the attacks that lead into her finisher:
- Core Skill = Special Attack > Chain Attack = Basic Attack > Assist = Dodge
Best W-Engines for Promeia
- Best-in-Slot (Signature) | Frostfall Sickle (S-Rank): Provides 713 Base ATK and 30% Anomaly Mastery at Lv. 60, helping Promeia scale her Core Passive. At its base refinement, Terminating Verdict grants 20% Ice DMG per Special or EX Special Attack stack (up to 2 stacks); at 2 stacks, her Abloom DMG increases by another 35%. It is her strongest dedicated option, but not required to use her kit.
- Premium Alternative | Fusion Compiler (S-Rank): Offers 684 Base ATK, 24% PEN Ratio, and a 12% ATK increase. Using Special or EX Special Attacks can build up to 75 additional Anomaly Proficiency at its base refinement. It is a strong alternative when Frostfall Sickle is unavailable, although it does not provide the signature's Anomaly Mastery bonus.
- F2P / Transitional | Weeping Gemini (A-Rank): Provides 594 Base ATK and 25% ATK. Its Lingering Cries effect can supply up to 120 Anomaly Proficiency as squad members inflict Attribute Anomalies, making it a practical craftable option for Anomaly-focused teams.
Best Drive Disc & Stat Priority
Recommended Set (4-pc + 2-pc)
- 4-Piece: Notes From the Chained
- Effect: The 2-piece bonus grants 10% Ice DMG. The 4-piece bonus adds 48 Anomaly Proficiency for 30s after Promeia triggers Abloom, and increases All-Attribute Anomaly DMG and Disorder DMG by 16% for 30s after she triggers Freeze.
- 2-Piece: Phaethon's Melody
- Effect: Increases Anomaly Mastery by 8%, supporting the Core Passive's above-150 Anomaly Mastery scaling. Freedom Blues (2-piece, +30 Anomaly Proficiency) is an alternative if her Mastery is already sufficient.
Main & Sub-Stat Priority
- Partition 4: Anomaly Proficiency > ATK%
- Partition 5: Ice DMG Bonus > ATK%
- Partition 6: Anomaly Mastery > ATK%
- Sub-stats: Anomaly Proficiency > ATK% > PEN > flat ATK. Anomaly Mastery is a Partition 6 main stat, not a rollable sub-stat.
Team Compositions & Bangboo Synergy
Triple Anomaly Team (Promeia + Velina + Remielle)
Promeia handles Ice Anomaly application and Abloom finishers, while Velina supplies Wind Anomaly, Vortex, off-field Sweeping Cyclone damage, and Anomaly Buildup RES reduction. Remielle adds Lumiflux reactions and off-field damage through Phase Flow. With three Anomaly Agents, her Additional Ability grants the squad an ATK bonus equal to 40% of her initial ATK (up to 1,600), and her Prismatic effect boosts Anomaly Buildup Rate by 15% against affected enemies.
Rotation: Set up Velina's Wind effects and Sweeping Cyclone, then use Remielle's EX Special Attack to build Floating Radiance. At 120 Floating Radiance, hold Special after a Special or EX Special Attack and switch out to activate Phase Flow. Bring in Promeia to apply Ice Anomaly and spend Trial by Cold with Execution - Merciless Judgment. Reintroduce Remielle for Flower & Feather Dance and Luminize when her Phase Flow follow-up becomes available. This setup emphasizes multiple Anomaly sources rather than relying on a Stun window.
Ice Anomaly Stun Team (Promeia + Nangong Yu + Yuzuha)
Nangong Yu supplies Daze, a 25% squad DMG buff from her charged Basic Attack or EX Special Attack, and extra Abloom through Vibrato. Her Misstep raises the Stun DMG Multiplier by 30% and extends Stun by 3s when its conditions are met. Yuzuha contributes Tanuki Wish, granting up to 1,200 ATK and 15% increased DMG, plus Anomaly Buildup and Anomaly DMG bonuses through her Additional Ability. Nangong Yu's Polarity Disorder can add damage without removing the target's existing Attribute Anomaly.
Rotation: Use Yuzuha's EX Special Attack to apply Sweet Scare and Tanuki Wish. Build Daze with Nangong Yu's charged attacks and EX Special Attack, then use Promeia to apply Ice Anomaly and prepare Trial by Cold. During Stun, chain Promeia's finisher and Ultimate where available, while using Nangong Yu's Dance Prowess to trigger Polarity Disorder on an afflicted target. Keep the enemy's Anomaly active before attempting Abloom.

Mindscape Cinema Guide
Key Cinema Node Analysis
- Cinema 1: After her Ultimate, Promeia restores 1 Trial by Cold point if she is below the maximum, and squadwide Abloom against enemies marked with Presumption of Guilt ignores an additional 20% DEF. This improves finisher access and team damage.
- Cinema 2: Adds 40 Anomaly Proficiency and increases the Abloom multiplier triggered by consuming Trial by Cold by 120%. It is the main offensive Mindscape to consider after her base build is established.
- Cinema 4: Restores 5 Corrosive Chill when Promeia triggers Abloom, at most once every 0.5s, helping replenish Trial by Cold for later finishers.
- Cinema 6: Abloom triggered by consuming Trial by Cold gains one additional special Abloom instance at a fixed 200% multiplier, with 5 Corrosive Chill and 100 Decibels restored (once every 15s). Promeia's Attribute Anomaly and Disorder DMG also ignore 15% of enemy All-Attribute RES.
Pulling Advice & Extraction Recommendations
- For F2P Players: Mindscape 0 already includes the 635% Abloom finisher and, with her Additional Ability active, 40% DEF ignore for Abloom against marked targets. Prioritize a functional Drive Disc set and reliable teammates before investing in duplicates.
- For Higher Investment: Frostfall Sickle adds Anomaly Mastery and dedicated Abloom bonuses, while Mindscape 2 adds 40 Proficiency and a 120% increase to her Trial by Cold Abloom multiplier. Their relative value depends on the W-Engines you own and your current build; there is no universal damage-per-pull ranking here.
- For Maximum Investment: Mindscape 6 adds another Abloom instance and partial RES ignore for her Anomaly and Disorder DMG. It is an optional damage upgrade, not a requirement for either recommended team.
Promeia FAQ
- Q: Why does Promeia want more than 150 Anomaly Mastery?
- A: Her Core Passive grants 1.5 Anomaly Proficiency and 0.35% squadwide Abloom DMG for every point of initial Anomaly Mastery above 150. Anomaly Mastery on Partition 6, Phaethon's Melody, and Frostfall Sickle can help meet this target.
- Q: Can Promeia work without an all-Ice team?
- A: Yes. Her Abloom finisher works against enemies afflicted with several different Attribute Anomalies. Velina and Remielle provide a triple-Anomaly setup, while Nangong Yu and Yuzuha offer a Stun-based alternative.
- Q: Should I choose Mindscape 2 or Frostfall Sickle first?
- A: Frostfall Sickle supplies Anomaly Mastery and Abloom bonuses; Mindscape 2 adds 40 Anomaly Proficiency and a 120% increase to the Abloom multiplier triggered by consuming Trial by Cold. Choose based on your current Mastery, available W-Engines, and pull budget rather than assuming one is always stronger.
