She might not be the biggest member of the Sons of Calydon, but Luciana de Montefio, also known as Lucy, brings a ton of impact in a small package in Zenless Zone Zero.

Lucy is a Fire-type Support character and an A-tier unlock who uses the power of her Guard Boars to strike her way through enemies with her trusty spiked bat. Whether she’s whacking her foes upside the head or launching flaming boars at her enemies, Lucy adds a ton of stopping power to a team composition before the real heavy hitters can jump into the fight.

Here’s the best Lucy build in Zenless Zone Zero.

Best W-Engine for Lucy

Kaboom the Cannon is the signature W-Engine for Lucy, built to help the team deal more damage during a skirmish. When a friendly unit hits an enemy, all units in your team composition deal 2.5 percent more damage for eight seconds, and this effect stacks up to four times during a fight.

As a result, Lucy and her cronies can dominate a fight with ramping power, especially when combined with other W-Engine effects and Drive Discs to blast through an encounter with ease.

Best Drive Discs for Lucy

Swing Jazz is a great Drive Disc to help Lucy set up the rest of her team for success since she can launch into her ultimate ability, Walk-Off Home Run, to start up a massive combo alongside her main and sub-DPS characters.

By applying a 15 percent damage buff to all characters after using her ult or chain attack, her teammates can blast into the fight with a ton of existing buffs and decimate an opponent, while her two-disc set of Inferno Metal increases Lucy’s Fire damage by 10 percent. It’s a good combination to maximize her ability to support her squad.

Best Lucy Drive Discs stats and substats

Lucy’s a unique A-rank support who wants offensive stats for her Drive Discs. The more attack percent she has, the higher off-field damage her Guard Boars do.

Here are the main stats you should target:

  • Slot four: Crit damage or Crit Ratio
  • Slot five: ATK%
  • Slot six: ATK% or Energy Regeneration Rate

Lucy scales with attack percent, and the more attack percent you have, the stronger her buffs are, but offensive substats like Crit Rate and Crit damage are also good.

To make the best use of Lucy’s off-field Fire damage potential, equipping a proper Bangboo is crucial for this build to work. Her best little sidekick is the S-rank Rocketboo that deals Fire damage and inflicts massive Anomaly Buildup whenever you have at least two Fire characters on the team. 

Best Lucy Skills

Skills are an essential part of Lucy’s kit, and since she’s an off-field hybrid support that also deals damage, you need to level up the right ones. You can ignore her Basic Attacks and save your resources for other abilities.

Here are the Skills you should prioritize:

  • Special
  • Ultimate
  • Assist
  • Dodge

Lucy best performs as a quick-swap support, so leveling up her Assist and Dodge is necessary for the biggest damage output. Your main priorities are her Special Attack and Ultimate, which are connected to her Core passive, which increases her off-field Guard Boar’s damage.

Best Lucy Mindscapes

Although Lucy works perfectly fine without them, she’s an A-tank agent who only gets stronger with Mindscapes. While you can obtain some of them with your pulls, you should aim for her Mindscape six because it’s her best. It increases her Fire damage by 300 percent of her maximum attack, which is a huge damage increase.
