Hoshimi Miyabi, the youngest Void Hunter inZenless Zone Zero’sNew Eridu, is easily one of the best DPS characters in the entire game, outshining everyone that came before her. Building Miyabi right and putting her in the right teams takes her already absurd potential into the stratosphere. Be you a new player or old, Miyabi will immediately improve any account.
Miyabi’s best teams don’t need to be all premium S-Ranks, nor do her builds need to be perfect, but here’s how to get the most out of Miyabi.
Best W-Engines For Miyabi
Building Miyabi is much simpler than her Skill descriptions would make it seem. She’s an Anomaly unit that plays a bit more like a traditional DPS, soher Disc Drives, W-Engines, and Skill priority will more closely follow that line of thinkingover an Anomaly build.
The most important stat you may give Miyabi when building her is Crit. Rate, because her core skill scales off of that stat, specifically as it relates to the additional Frost Anomaly Buildup bonus she gets against opponents afflicted by her Icefire.
To start, then, here are Miyabi’s best W-Engines in order of their effectiveness:
Hailstorm Shrine
S-Rank
Miyabi’s Signature W-Engine is by far her best, with a massive damage gap between it and the next best option. It also has the rare Crit. Rate main stat goes a long way toward meeting her Core Skill’s prerequisites.
Fusion Compiler
Grace’s Signature is a solid choicefor Miyabi if you don’t have Hailstorm Shrine, thanks to its flat ATK% bonus and Anomaly synergy. Neither it nor any of the remaining W-Engines offer any Crit. Rate, so your Drive Discs will need to do more heavy lifting there.
Electro-Lip Gloss
A-Rank
Electro-Lip Gloss, available via the New Eridu Fund season pass,is a good low-spending W-Engine for Miyabi, as ATK% and flat damage bonuses it provides rely on enemies being afflicted with an Anomaly, and with Miyabi on the field, they always should be.
Weeping Gemini
The best craftable and free-to-play friendly W-Engineavailable for Miyabi, Weeping Gemini offers a solid ATK% bonus and ups her Anomaly damage by a fair margin.
Rainforest Gourmet
If you have nothing else,Rainforest Gourmet’s stacking ATK% buff per 10 Energy spent is a useable last-ditch choicefor Miyabi, but you should attempt to get at least Weeping Gemini to replace it when you can.
In short, if you may get it,Hailstorm Shrine is the only W-Engine you should consider for Miyabi. If you don’t plan to spend any money on Zenless Zone Zero and don’t have a large stack of Polychromes and Encrypted Master Tapes ready to roll, Fusion Compiler and Weeping Gemini are your best free-to-play options.
Best Drive Discs For Miyabi
Any player who saw Miyabi’s introduction cutscene during their playthrough of the story campaign shouldn’t be surprised thatMiyabi has a Drive Disc made almost specifically for her.
When building Miyabi,you want to use four pieces of the Branch & Blade Song set. It provides a 16 percent bonus to Miyabi’s Crit Damage at two pieces. If her Anomaly Master is 115 or higher, her Crit. Damage increases by another 30% and any Freeze or Shatter effects applied in battle further increase her Crit Rate by 12 percent for 15 seconds.
For the two-set of Drive Discs, there you have a few good choices, but onlytwo stand out as top-tier:
The stats you want on your Drive Discs are as follows:
You should focus first on getting Miyabi’s Crit. Rate as close to 80 percentas possible, then increase her ATK% and Crit. Damage values as high as you can. While not a focus point, if you can raise your Anomaly Proficiency to 115 or higher, you can take full advantage of the Branch & Blade Song Drive Disc effects.
Which Drive Discs you place where matters much less than the stats they confer, andso long as you have four Bridge & Blade Song and two of the other optimal sets, you’ll be fine.
Best Miyabi Teams
One of the best things about Miyabi is that, because she’s so absurdly powerful,she can carry almost any team composition you could think of, but there are a few requirements you need to meet if you want to get the most out of her kit.
First and foremost,part of her Core Skill requires that she have either another member of Section 6 or a Support Unit on the team. Thankfully, there are meta options that tick one or both of those boxes, the most obvious being Soukaku, who is both a member of Section 6anda Support unit.
Other Support choices for a Miyabi team includeCaesar as the best choice, Lucy or Seth for A-Ranks, or Rina for a standard S-Rank.
The third character you pick should somehow benefit both Miyabi and the Support, with other Anomaly agents fitting that bill best,like Yanagi as the top choice, Burnice as another, or Lycaonfrom the standard banner. Anby or Harumasa can work in a pinch, as well.
Sub-DPS and Anomaly Enabler
Defense
Shield, Stun, Sustain
Miyabi’s best team pairs her not only with one of the previous DPS champions but also with one of the best and comfiest Defense units inYanagi and Caesar.
This team setup has so much going for it, but the most important parts that don’t directly involve Miyabi are:
You can swap Yanagi for Burncie or even Grace and still have a perfectly fine, fun team.
Lycaon or Anby
Lucy or Soukaku
Support
ATK% bonus and light Anomaly application
Free-to-play players have plenty of options to use with Miyabi as well. Soukaku, you’ll get as part of progressing the Shiyu Defense mode, andLucy is a more easily accessible A-Rank. She’s also available on Harumasa’s banner, should you decide to pull there as well.
You won’t be getting nearly the value out of either of these compositions as you would her premium team, but, again,Miyabi is so strong the differences aren’t stark enoughat anything save the highest-difficulty and investment-focused content.
No matter which teams you use to play with Miyabi, there’s a 100 percent guarantee thatyou’ll not only shred your enemies but feel Motivated while doing so.
