Who is Zenless Zone Zero Yidhari?

ZZZ Yidhari is an S-Rank Ice Rupture Agent from Spook Shack who thrives on a high-risk, high-reward playstyle. With her, you can deal massive damage by carefully managing your HP, draining it to power up your hammer attacks, countering enemy hits for bonuses, and building Decibels to grant team-wide buffs through Ether Veil: Wellspring. She’s perfect for players who enjoy low-HP aggression and precise parry timing. Thanks to her Sheer DMG conversion, you can ignore enemy DEF entirely, making her attacks extremely deadly.

Yidhari Kit and Playstyle Essentials

Yidhari’s Core Passive, Dreamscape Collection, converts all Ice DMG into Sheer DMG. This bypasses enemy DEF and scales with Sheer Force, which increases with every 0.1 of your Max HP. You begin fights with 60 Adrenaline (cooldown 180 seconds in Investigation Zones). Her damage ramps up to +100% when your HP drops below 50%, lasting 5 seconds after recovery. For every 1% HP lost, you gain 10 Decibels. With a Stun or Support teammate, being at low HP gives +30% CRIT DMG and reduces incoming damage by 25%.

Key Mechanics

• Charged Basic: Frostbite Embrace: Hold the attack to drain HP, faster if your HP is high but never below 25%. You can stack up to 3 charges for increasing Ice Sheer damage (Lv12: 692% per smash). The third charge boosts interruption resistance, and getting hit during a charge triggers Frost’s Crushing Weight, which adds +1 charge and reduces damage taken by 25%.
• EX Specials: Frost Coil deals 1021% damage and heals 33% of missing HP. Glacial Crush deals 2015% damage when set up with parries and also heals while granting 15 Adrenaline after Surging Cold.
• Ether Veil: Wellspring: This triggers automatically at max Decibels on key finishers (costs 3000 Decibels). It buffs your team’s Max HP by 5%, stacking up to 300 seconds, and speeds up charge and HP drain. It also unlocks a 30-second Ultimate window called Final Act, dealing 3045% AoE damage.
• Parry Focus: Time your Special attacks during charge states for Surging Cold or Crushing Pursuit. This lets you max charge instantly and chain into EX attacks for huge damage.

Yidhari’s self-heal on her third Basic or EX keeps her cycles sustainable. However, if you mistime parries or over-drain HP, she becomes very fragile, so careful timing is key.

Best W-Engines for Yidhari

For a best Zenless Zone Zero Yidhari build, you need to prioritize HP-scaling options that amplify low-HP Sheer output and CRIT.

And the recommended w-engines here are:

W-Engine	Base ATK / Substat	Key Effect	Why It Fits
Kraken’s Cradle (Signature)	713 / +30% HP	+6% Ice Sheer per HP loss stack (x3, 25s each, 0.5s ICD); +20% CRIT Rate ≤50% HP	Perfect synergy—constant stacks from charges, CRIT at peak DMG window. BiS for all content.
Puzzle Sphere	594 / +25% ATK	+16% CRIT DMG (12s) on EX Special; +20% EX vs <50% enemy HP	Budget EX spammer; strong vs bosses.
Radiowave Journey	594 / +25% HP	+80 Sheer Force per Chain/Ult stack (x3, 12s)	Decibel/Ult-focused rotations shine here.
Grill O’Wisp	594 / +25% HP	+15% Fire DMG (irrelevant); +15% CRIT Rate on HP loss (5s)	F2P HP/CRIT crutch till signature.

Best Drive Discs and Stat Priorities for Yidhari

For Yidhari, start by stacking HP to maximize your Sheer Force baseline. After that, focus on balancing CRIT stats, aiming for 50–70% CRIT Rate and 150–200% CRIT DMG to make the most of her low-HP burst potential.

The top Drive Disc setup is a 4-piece Yunkui Tales. With 2 pieces, you gain +10% HP. Equipping all 4 pieces gives +4% CRIT Rate per EX, Chain, or Ultimate stack, lasting 15 seconds, and adds +10% Sheer DMG at maximum stacks.

You can pair this with a 2-piece Woodpecker Electro for an extra 8% CRIT Rate or a 2-piece Branch & Blade Song to boost Basic Attack damage. These combinations help Yidhari deal with consistent, high Sheer DMG while keeping her survivability in check.

Yidhari Stat Priority

Slot	Main Stat Priority
4	CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG
5	Ice DMG Bonus > HP%
6	HP%

Substat Priority: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG > HP% > ATK% Target: 25k+ HP for 2.5k Sheer Force.

Yidhari Skill Upgrade Priority

To get the most damage from Yidhari, upgrading the skills that directly boost her Sheer DMG is what pays off the most. Following this order will give you over 80% of her potential damage:

1. Core Skill – This is essential for Sheer DMG scaling and forms the backbone of her kit.
2. Basic Attack – Upgrading her charged Basic attacks improves damage and helps build Sheer Force.
3. Special Attack – Boosts EX skills and parry setups, which are key for high-damage combos.
4. Chain Attack – Improves Ether Veil and Ultimate setups for maximum team-wide buffs.
5. Dodge / Assist – These provide utility, so upgrade them last.

Prioritize the top four skills to make Yidhari a true low-HP powerhouse, while Dodge and Assist can be enhanced later for support.

Yidhari Best Teams & Bangboo

Of course, a perfect Zenless Zone Zero Yidhari build comes with a perfect team and with the strongest Bangboo. So, in a team, Yidhari can be played as Main DPS in Rupture comps who need Stun for daze/setup and Support for Sheer/CRIT buffs.

Team	Yidhari	Slot 2 (Stun)	Slot 3 (Support)	Bangboo	Notes
Premium	Main DPS	Lycaon	Lucia	Miss Esme	Lycaon shreds Ice RES; Lucia amps Sheer/Decibels. Hypercarry peak.
F2P/Flex	Main DPS	Lighter / Ju Fufu	Pan Yinhu / Soukaku	Snap / Rainforest Boogie	Lighter/Ju Fufu for CRIT/Decibels; Pan for Sheer Deepen.
Dual Rupture	Main DPS	Pulchra	Astra Yao	Sharkboo	Off-field daze/heal; Astra CRIT sustain.

Note: If anyone struggles to collect these team members, make sure to invest more on Monochromes. Those can guarantee you the characters to pull. And the cheapest and the most affordable way to collect them is Enjioygm as it has discounted Monochrome packs to buy in the safest way.

Yidhari Combat Rotation and Tips

Yidhari relies on careful HP management and precise parries to maximize damage. Here’s how to handle her rotation:

1. Swap In – Start with the free 60 Adrenaline and immediately hold your Basic attack at level 3 to charge Sheer Force while tanking hits for counters and extra charges.
2. Release and Follow Up – Smash the charged Basic, then use EX Special Frost Coil to heal and set up your next move, or parry into Glacial Crush for massive damage.
3. Build Decibels – Keep generating Decibels, trigger Ether Veil on a key finisher, and unleash your Ultimate within the 30-second Final Act window.
4. Loop – Continue chaining attacks, use Quick Assist if needed, and follow with EX chains using Mindscape M1 effects.

Tip: Focus on parries, especially Surging Cold, over dodges. Stay around 30–50% HP to benefit from her buffs. She is very mobile and excels at grouping enemies but requires practice against fast bosses. Even low-investment players with A-Rank weapons and discs can reach around 80% of her potential.

Mindscape Cinema (Dupes) – Worth Pulling?

• M1 – Reduces EX cost by 10% and allows chain EX without healing. Healing from the next EX is doubled. This is a strong starting point.
• M2 – Adds +40% CRIT DMG and regenerates Adrenaline on parry.
• M3 / M5 – Grants +2 skill levels.
• M4 – Increases Decibels and HP in Ether Veil by 10%.
• M6 – Boosts Sheer DMG by 25% after Veil, adds fatal damage immunity, and heals.

Yidhari is strong even at M0, but M1 and M2 provide the biggest boost. Mindscape beyond M2 is mostly for dedicated players, so you can skip additional dupes unless you plan to make her your hypercarry.

Should You Pull Yidhari?

Yes, if you love Ice/Rupture gameplay or want a Tier 1+ DPS for Shiyu Defense. She is self-sufficient and fits well into meta teams. Skip her if you’re already invested in Jane or Burnice, as there are F2P-friendly alternatives.

Conclusion

And that is how the Zenless Zone Zero Yidhari build goes. Follow our strategies and tips to make her better, and yes, she can be a riskier option but with effort, she is always going to be an ideal damage dealer you ever want.
