Yuzuha build infographic for Zenless Zone Zero, featuring Yuzuha artwork, recommended Drive Discs and substats, promotion materials, total build materials, and W-Engine promotion materials.

Who is Yuzuha and What is Their Playstyle?

Ukinami Yuzuha is an off-field Support character who enhances Anomaly Buildup, Attribute Anomaly DMG, Disorder DMG, ATK, and overall team damage. Her gameplay revolves around four key steps: applying Sweet Scare to enemies, activating Tanuki Wish to provide squad-wide buffs, using the appropriate teammate to establish Flavor Match, and spending Sugar Points to trigger powerful off-field Aftershock attacks. Thanks to this unique support kit, she is an excellent partner for Anomaly-focused carries such as Hoshimi Miyabi and Vivian.

Yuzuha’s Core Strengths

Her Support value comes from several buffs working at the same time.

Tanuki Wish grants all squad members:

An ATK increase equal to 40% of Yuzuha’s initial ATK.
Up to 1,200 bonus ATK.
15% increased damage dealt.
A 40-second duration.

She reaches the maximum ATK buff when her initial ATK reaches 3,000.

Her Additional Ability can also provide up to:

20% Anomaly Buildup Rate.
20% Attribute Anomaly DMG.
20% Disorder DMG.

To reach the full effect, she needs 200 Anomaly Mastery.

What Are Sugar Points?

Sugar Points power Basic Attack: Hard Candy Shot, one of her main off-field attacks.

She:Starts combat with 3 Sugar Points.Can store up to 6 Sugar Points.Gains points through her EX Special, Ultimate, Chain Attack, parries, and Defensive Assists.Consumes one point when Hard Candy Shot lands its heavy attack.Since this attack counts as an Aftershock, it also activates the team Anomaly Proficiency effect from her signature W-Engine.

What Does Sweet Scare Do?

Sweet Scare lasts for 40 seconds. Reapplying it resets the duration.

When a marked enemy is first hit by an active character, Flavor Match records that character’s attribute. Yuzuha’s following attacks then change to that attribute against the marked target:

Basic Attack: Sugarburst Sparkles
Basic Attack: Sugarburst Sparkles – Max

For example, hitting the enemy with Miyabi after applying Sweet Scare changes these attacks to Frost DMG. Hitting it with Vivian instead changes them to Ether DMG.

Reapplying Sweet Scare clears the old Flavor Match. You can then assign a new attribute.

Yuzuha’s General Playstyle

She works best as a quick-swap Support.

Bring her onto the field to:Use an EX Special Attack.Use her Ultimate.Perform a Defensive Assist.Parry with Basic Attack: Tanuki Cloak.Refresh Sweet Scare and Tanuki Wish.After that, swap back to your main Anomaly damage dealer.

She should not take large amounts of field time unless you are actively parrying or setting up a buff window.

How Do Yuzuha's Skills Work?

Yuzuha has a large kit, but only a few parts control her main rotation.

Basic Attack: Tanuki Claws

Her standard Basic Attack performs up to five Physical strikes.This attack is not the main reason to use her. It is mostly a filler option when other actions are unavailable.

Basic Attack: Tanuki Cloak

Hold Basic Attack to enter a defensive stance for up to 1.5 seconds.If an enemy hits her during this stance:She parries the attack.She deals heavy Daze.She gains 1 Sugar Point.She becomes invulnerable during the successful parry.This is useful when you need more Sugar Points without spending Energy.

Basic Attack: Hard Candy Shot

While Yuzuha has Sugar Points, attacks from the active character can trigger her off-field umbrella attack, Hard Candy Shot. She spins around the target before launching a powerful projectile that deals Physical DMG. This attack is considered an Aftershock, can trigger once every 8 seconds, and consumes 1 Sugar Point when the heavy hit lands. Yuzuha remains invulnerable during the animation, making it a safe way to add extra off-field damage. Against enemies affected by Sweet Scare, the heavy hit will also trigger Sugarburst Sparkles – Max, further increasing her team contribution.

Basic Attack: Sugarburst Sparkles

Enemies under Sweet Scare are attacked once every 1 second.The attack starts as Physical DMG, but Flavor Match can convert it to the active character’s attribute.Its Anomaly Buildup Rate is increased by 25%.However, the buildup caused by Sugarburst Sparkles does not contribute to the Anomaly DMG calculation.

Basic Attack: Sugarburst Sparkles – Max

This is the stronger version of Sugarburst Sparkles.

It triggers when a Sweet Scare target is hit by the heavy attack from:

Basic Attack: Hard Candy Shot
Assist Follow-Up: Stuffed Hard Candy Shot

At Skill Level 12, it has a 616% DMG multiplier and gains the same 25% Anomaly Buildup Rate increase.

Basic Attack: Tanuki Helper

When Yuzuha is off-field, Kama helps the active character attack.Kama inherits her initial ATK, giving you another reason to build toward the 3,000 ATK breakpoint.

Dodge and Dodge Counter

Her standard Dodge provides invulnerability.After a Perfect Dodge, Dodge Counter: Time for Payback~ deals Physical DMG and can lead into the faster version of her EX Special Attack.This allows her to turn a defensive action into a full support setup.

Defensive Assist and Assist Follow-Ups

Defensive Assist: Replenish Your Fun parries an incoming attack and grants 1 Sugar Point.

After a successful Defensive Assist or Tanuki Cloak parry, she can use one of two follow-ups:

Assist Follow-Up: We Have Cookies
Assist Follow-Up: Stuffed Hard Candy Shot

Stuffed Hard Candy Shot has the higher Skill Level 12 multiplier at 927.8%. Its heavy hit can also trigger Sugarburst Sparkles – Max.

EX Special Attack: Cavity Alert

Her EX Special Attack costs 60 Energy and serves as her main setup skill. When the heavy attack hits an enemy, it applies Sweet Scare, grants 2 Sugar Points, activates Tanuki Wish through her Core Passive, and triggers a Quick Assist. During the animation, she also remains invulnerable, allowing her to safely apply buffs and prepare the team's next rotation.

EX Special Attack: Cavity Alert, Right Now!

This faster version can be activated after a Perfect Dodge, Dodge Counter: Time for Payback~, Quick Assist: Dessert Time, Assist Follow-Up: We Have Cookies, or Assist Follow-Up: Stuffed Hard Candy Shot. It still consumes 60 Energy and provides the same core setup effects, including applying Sweet Scare, granting 2 Sugar Points, activating Tanuki Wish through her Core Passive, and triggering a Quick Assist.

Chain Attack: Prank Assault

Her Chain Attack:

Deals Physical DMG in a small area.
Grants 1 Sugar Point.
Triggers a Quick Assist.

It is useful for restoring resources during a Stun or forced Chain Attack sequence.

Ultimate: Surrender or Suffer the Mischief

Her Ultimate deals heavy Physical DMG in a large area while providing strong team utility. It applies Sweet Scare, grants 2 Sugar Points, activates Tanuki Wish through her Core Passive, and triggers a Quick Assist. In addition, it restores 25 Energy to the other two squad members, making it especially valuable for teams that rely on frequent and costly EX Special Attacks.

Core Passive: Whimsical Wonder

This is the center of the best Yuzuha build.

When her EX Special Attack or Ultimate hits an enemy, the squad gains Tanuki Wish for 40 seconds.

The buff provides:

Up to 1,200 ATK.
15% increased damage dealt.

Build at least 3,000 initial ATK to obtain the maximum ATK buff.

Additional Ability: The More the Merrier

This ability activates when another squad member either has the Anomaly Specialty or belongs to the same Faction. Once active, every point of Anomaly Mastery above 100 increases the following effects by 0.2%, up to a maximum bonus of 20%: Anomaly Buildup Rate, Attribute Anomaly DMG, and Disorder DMG. To fully maximize this passive, Yuzuha needs to reach 200 Anomaly Mastery, allowing the team to gain the complete set of Anomaly-related bonuses.

Best Yuzuha Rotation

A standard rotation for her starts with entering combat at 3 Sugar Points, then using EX Special Attack: Cavity Alert to apply Sweet Scare, activate Tanuki Wish, and gain 2 additional Sugar Points. After the triggered Quick Assist brings in your main DPS, hit the marked enemy with the matching attribute to establish Flavor Match and continue your combo to trigger Hard Candy Shot and Sugarburst Sparkles. Use Defensive Assist or Basic Attack: Tanuki Cloak whenever you need to generate more Sugar Points, and cast her Ultimate whenever available to restore 25 Energy for both teammates. Make sure to refresh Sweet Scare and Tanuki Wish before their 40-second duration expires. Since her main value comes from buffs and off-field support, avoid keeping her on-field for extended Basic Attack strings unless there are no better actions available.

What is the Best Weapon for Yuzuha?

Best W-Engines infographic for Yuzuha in Zenless Zone Zero, showing Metanukimorphosis as the best-in-slot option and Kaboom the Cannon as the best budget option, with key strengths listed for each.

Best-in-Slot: Metanukimorphosis

Metanukimorphosis is Yuzuha’s signature S-Rank Support W-Engine.

At Level 60, it provides:

713 Base ATK
60% Energy Regen

At Refinement 1, its passive grants:

30 Anomaly Mastery for 40 seconds after her EX Special Attack or Ultimate deals Physical DMG.
60 Anomaly Proficiency to all squad members for 40 seconds after her Aftershock hits an enemy.

Only one copy of the squad-wide effect can exist in the same team.

This weapon solves several parts of her build at once.

The high Base ATK helps her reach 3,000 initial ATK. The Energy Regen makes it easier to use her 60-Energy EX Special. The extra Anomaly Mastery pushes her toward the 200 AM breakpoint.

Hard Candy Shot is an Aftershock, so she can also keep the team-wide Anomaly Proficiency buff active during normal rotations.

Best Budget Option: Kaboom the Cannon

Kaboom the Cannon is the recommended A-Rank Support alternative.

At Level 60, it provides:

624 Base ATK
50% Energy Regen

At Refinement 1, each friendly unit can grant one stack of its ATK buff by hitting an enemy.

Each stack provides:

2.5% squad ATK
Up to four stacks
An 8-second duration per stack

At full stacks, it can provide up to 10% ATK to the squad.

It does not provide Anomaly Mastery or Anomaly Proficiency. However, its Energy Regen and team ATK effect still fit her Support role well.

W-Engine	Role	Main Benefit	Verdict
Metanukimorphosis	Best-in-Slot	ATK, Energy Regen, Anomaly Mastery, team Anomaly Proficiency	Best overall
Kaboom the Cannon	Budget/F2P	Energy Regen and team ATK	Best accessible option

Which Gear and Stats Maximize Yuzuha's Damage?

The best Yuzuha Drive Disc build should focus on her support breakpoints first.

Your main goals are:

Reach 3,000 initial ATK.
Reach 200 Anomaly Mastery.
Gain enough Energy Regen for stable EX Special usage.
Add Anomaly Proficiency after the main breakpoints are covered.

Recommended Drive Disc Set

Based on the listed set effects, the strongest general support setup is:

4-Piece Swing Jazz
2-Piece Phaethon’s Melody

Why Use 4-Piece Swing Jazz?

The 2-piece effect grants:

20% Energy Regen

The 4-piece effect grants:

15% increased damage to all squad members for 12 seconds after launching a Chain Attack or Ultimate.

This supports both her Energy needs and the team’s burst window.

The effect does not stack with other effects of the same name. Avoid placing another 4-piece Swing Jazz user in the same squad unless you need it for rotation coverage.

Why Use 2-Piece Phaethon’s Melody?

The 2-piece effect grants:

8% Anomaly Mastery

This helps her reach the important 200 Anomaly Mastery target.

Its 4-piece effect is less useful for this build because part of the effect increases the equipper’s Ether DMG, while Yuzuha primarily deals Physical DMG.

Alternative: Freedom Blues

Freedom Blues provides:

30 Anomaly Proficiency from its 2-piece effect.
A 4-piece effect that reduces the target’s Anomaly Buildup RES to the equipper’s attribute by 20% after an EX Special hit.

Since Yuzuha is Physical, the 4-piece effect only supports Physical buildup. This may be less valuable in a team centered on Frost and Ether Anomalies.

Use the 2-piece version when you already meet the required ATK and Anomaly Mastery goals and want more personal Anomaly Proficiency.

Drive Disc Main Stats

Slot	Recommended Main Stat	Priority
Disc 4	ATK%	Best
Disc 4 alternative	CRIT Rate	Personal damage fallback
Disc 5	ATK%	Best
Disc 6	Anomaly Mastery	Best until 200 AM
Disc 6 alternative	ATK%	Use if AM goal is already met
Disc 6 alternative	Energy Regen	Use for smoother EX rotations

Sub-Stat Priority

Prioritize:

ATK%
Anomaly Proficiency

The provided data does not list additional recommended sub-stats.

Should Yuzuha Build CRIT?

CRIT Rate can be used as an alternative Disc 4 main stat, but it does not help her reach the key Tanuki Wish or Additional Ability breakpoints. In most cases, ATK% is the better choice because it directly improves her team buffs and overall support value. Consider switching to CRIT Rate only if you have already reached 3,000 initial ATK, solved your Energy Regen and Anomaly Mastery requirements, and want to increase her personal damage. For the majority of support-focused builds, CRIT remains a lower-priority stat compared to ATK and utility-focused stats.

Skill Upgrade Priority

The recommended upgrade order is:

Core Skill
Basic Attack
Special Attack
Chain Attack
Assist
Dodge

The source data lists Core Skill and Basic Attack as her most important upgrades.

Basic Attack levels improve several key attacks, including Hard Candy Shot, Sugarburst Sparkles, and Tanuki Helper.

What Are the Best Team Comps for Yuzuha?

Best Anomaly Team: Miyabi + Yuzuha + Vivian

Recommended order:

Hoshimi Miyabi + Yuzuha + Vivian

This team combines Frost and Ether Anomaly effects with strong Disorder support.

How Yuzuha Supports Miyabi

Miyabi is an on-field Frost Anomaly damage dealer.Her kit benefits from Yuzuha in several ways:Yuzuha increases Anomaly Buildup Rate.She increases Attribute Anomaly DMG.She increases Disorder DMG.Tanuki Wish provides up to 1,200 ATK.The same buff also provides 15% increased damage dealt.Miyabi’s Additional Ability activates when another squad member is a Support or Anomaly character. Both teammates satisfy this condition.

When the squad triggers Disorder, Miyabi gains:

2 Fallen Frost
A stronger next Shimotsuki Stance
30% Ice RES ignore on the next Shimotsuki attack

This gives Yuzuha’s Disorder buff direct value in Miyabi’s rotation.

How Yuzuha Supports Vivian

Vivian is an off-field Ether Anomaly damage dealer.Her Basic Attack: Featherbloom can trigger when another squad member hits an enemy with an EX Special Attack. This means Yuzuha’s EX setup can help activate Vivian’s off-field damage when Guard Feathers are available.Vivian also launches Featherbloom when another squad member applies an Attribute Anomaly.This creates a strong loop:Yuzuha improves Anomaly Buildup.Miyabi and Vivian apply Anomalies faster.Vivian triggers more off-field Featherbloom attacks.Ether and Frost effects trigger Disorder.Disorder restores Miyabi’s Fallen Frost.Vivian’s Prophecy also remains active while the target suffers an Attribute Anomaly, dealing repeated Ether DMG and interacting with Anomaly effects.

Recommended Team Rotation

A practical rotation is:Use Vivian’s actions to prepare Guard Feathers.Switch to Yuzuha.Use EX Special Attack: Cavity Alert.Apply Sweet Scare and Tanuki Wish.Quick Assist into Miyabi.Let Miyabi’s Frost hit establish Flavor Match.Build Frost Anomaly and trigger Frostburn-related effects.Use Vivian to apply Ether or Corruption.Trigger Disorder to give Miyabi 2 Fallen Frost.Return to Miyabi.Spend Fallen Frost on a Level 3 Basic Attack: Shimotsuki.Refresh Yuzuha’s buffs before the 40-second timer expires.The exact order may change based on Energy, enemy behavior, and current Anomaly gauges.

General Anomaly Team Template

A second flexible setup is:

Anomaly Main DPS + Yuzuha + Off-Field Anomaly Sub-DPS

This works because her Additional Ability only requires another Anomaly Agent or a teammate from the same Faction. When building a team around Yuzuha, prioritize partners who can apply Anomalies quickly, trigger Disorder frequently, use EX Special Attacks during their rotation, and benefit from her ATK, Anomaly Buildup, and overall damage buffs. Specific replacement options will be updated later, as the currently provided data only includes detailed information for Hoshimi Miyabi and Vivian.

Which Constellations (Awakenings) Are Worth Getting?

Yuzuha’s duplicate upgrades are listed as Cinema levels.

She is already a complete Support at Cinema 0. Her first two Cinema levels provide the strongest early account value.

Level	Effect	Value/Verdict
Cinema 1: Lucky Constitution	Restores 30 Energy when entering battle. Sweet Scare reduces enemy All-Attribute RES by 10%. Her Attribute Anomaly DMG and Disorder DMG buff is increased to 130% of its original value.	Excellent early stopping point. Better startup, RES shred, and stronger Anomaly support.
Cinema 2: Full of Colorful Company	Her EX Special or Ultimate grants the squad 15% DMG and 15% Anomaly Buildup Rate for 40 seconds. Heavy attacks against non-Stunned enemies can force a Chain Attack once every 20 seconds. Chain entries restore Sugar Points, and Hard Candy Shot’s cooldown is reduced by 25%.	Best premium stopping point. A large team buff with better rotation flow and Sugar Point generation.
Cinema 3: Fairytale of the Haunted City	Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack levels increase by 2.	Low priority. Useful numbers, but less impactful than C1 or C2.
Cinema 4: Falling Magic	Assist Follow-Up damage increases by 30%, Anomaly Buildup Rate increases by 20%, and the follow-ups trigger Quick Assist.	Situational. Better for parry-heavy gameplay and Assist rotations.
Cinema 5: Dreams of a Fading Winter	Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack levels increase by 2.	Low priority. Another numerical upgrade with limited new utility.
Cinema 6: Put Down Roots	Successful parries grant an extra Sugar Point. Stuffed Hard Candy Shot gains a charge mechanic and fires extra shells. Each shell deals 300% ATK as Physical DMG. Hitting an enemy can grant up to three separate 105% Disorder DMG Multiplier stacks to the squad. It can also trigger Sugarburst Sparkles – Max.	Powerful luxury upgrade. Transformative for Disorder teams, but far beyond the efficient stopping point.

Best Cinema Stopping Point

Recommended stopping points are:

Cinema 0 for a complete and usable Support.

Cinema 1 for the best low-investment upgrade.

Cinema 2 for a premium Anomaly and Disorder Support.

Cinema 6 is extremely powerful, but it is a high-cost luxury upgrade.

Is Yuzuha Worth Pulling?

Yes, if you play Anomaly or Disorder teams.

Yuzuha is worth pulling when your account uses characters such as Miyabi and Vivian. She provides several buffs that these teams want at the same time.

Reasons to Pull

Yuzuha provides a wide range of team-wide benefits, including up to 1,200 squad ATK, 15% increased damage dealt, and up to 20% bonuses to Anomaly Buildup Rate, Attribute Anomaly DMG, and Disorder DMG. Her strong off-field attacks, long 40-second buff duration, and flexible Flavor Match attribute conversion allow her to support different Anomaly team compositions effectively.

She also brings excellent rotation utility through Quick Assist access, Sugar Point generation from defensive actions, and her Ultimate, which restores 25 Energy to both teammates. These tools make her a reliable support who can improve both team damage output and overall combat flow.

Reasons to Skip

You may want to skip Yuzuha if your account does not rely on Anomaly or Disorder teams, if you need a dedicated Stun Agent more urgently, or if you cannot comfortably reach her key ATK and Anomaly Mastery thresholds. She is also a lower priority if your current teams already have enough support coverage or if you prefer characters who stay on-field and deal most of the team’s damage themselves.

That said, she still provides valuable ATK buffs and general damage support even outside Anomaly teams. However, a significant portion of her strength comes from The More the Merrier, which greatly enhances Anomaly and Disorder-focused compositions. For accounts built around Miyabi and Vivian, she is an extremely strong pull and a natural team upgrade. For pure CRIT-based Attack teams, her overall value is much more limited.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why is my Yuzuha build dealing low damage?

Yuzuha is a Support character, not a main on-field DPS, so her strength should not be measured by her personal damage numbers alone. Her real value comes from maintaining Tanuki Wish, applying Sweet Scare, reaching the key 3,000 initial ATK and 200 Anomaly Mastery thresholds, triggering Hard Candy Shot from off-field, and boosting your main carry’s Anomaly and Disorder damage. When evaluating her performance, focus on whether your main DPS is receiving her full ATK buffs, damage boosts, Anomaly Buildup support, and Anomaly-related bonuses. Also make sure you have enough Sugar Points available, as Hard Candy Shot cannot be triggered without them.

Does Yuzuha’s Flavor Match convert all of her damage?

No.

Flavor Match only changes the attribute of:

Basic Attack: Sugarburst Sparkles
Basic Attack: Sugarburst Sparkles – Max

Her EX Special Attack, Ultimate, standard Basic Attacks, and Hard Candy Shot still deal Physical DMG according to the supplied skill descriptions.

You can reset Flavor Match by applying Sweet Scare again. The next active character to hit the enemy will assign a new attribute.

How much Energy Regen does Yuzuha need for a smooth rotation?

The exact Energy Regen requirement for Yuzuha is currently unknown, but it remains an important stat because her EX Special Attack costs 60 Energy. She can gain Energy Regen from several sources, including Metanukimorphosis (60% Energy Regen), Kaboom the Cannon (50% Energy Regen), the 2-Piece Swing Jazz set (20% Energy Regen), or an Energy Regen main stat on Disc 6. At Cinema 1, she also restores 30 Energy when entering battle, further improving her rotation consistency.

At Cinema 0, an Energy Regen Disc 6 is only recommended if you struggle to cast her EX Special Attack frequently enough during your rotation. If her energy flow already feels smooth, investing in Anomaly Mastery or ATK% will provide more direct value by improving her team buffs and overall support performance.

Why does Yuzuha feel squishy during combat?

Yuzuha is not designed to stay exposed on-field for long periods of time. Instead, she relies on her built-in defensive tools to safely enter, apply her buffs, and leave the field quickly. Basic Attack: Tanuki Cloak allows her to parry incoming attacks, while Defensive Assist provides both invulnerability and Sugar Points. Her EX Special Attack and Ultimate also grant invulnerability during their animations, and several Assist Follow-Ups provide additional safety windows. Since her setup skills can trigger Quick Assist, the ideal playstyle is to swap in, activate her support effects, then rotate back to your main DPS. Staying on-field for long Basic Attack strings usually adds unnecessary risk without providing much extra support value.
