Creating a formidable ZZZ Vivian build is straightforward, especially when compared to newer characters like Soldier 0 Anby. The key to successfully utilizing Vivian lies in prioritizing Anomaly Proficiency. By integrating her into a team with another Anomaly character, you’ll find it easy to maximize her potential. While her signature W-Engine, the W-Engine, is the prime choice, there’s also an excellent free-to-play (F2P) alternative available.
This guide will go over the optimal W-Engines and Drive Discs for Vivian, alongside recommendations for effective team compositions.
Ultimate ZZZ Vivian Build
Best W-Engines for ZZZ Vivian
The Flight of Fancy is Vivian’s signature W-Engine, enhancing her Anomaly capabilities significantly. It features a secondary stat in Proficiency, which boosts Anomaly buildup by 40%.Additionally, each time Vivian inflicts Ether damage, she gains a 20% Anomaly Proficiency buff that can stack up to six times and lasts for five seconds, refreshing with each activation. Given her play style, Vivian rapidly deals Ether damage, ensuring that these buffs are consistently active.
If you’re looking for a powerful A-rank alternative, consider the Weeping Gemini. Available for purchase with Dennies and W-Engine chips at the Sixth Street gadget store, this W-Engine provides secondary attack percentage benefits, ensuring Vivian’s damage output remains high. Every time an enemy is afflicted by an Anomaly, the equipping character receives a buff ranging from 30% to 46% for Anomaly Proficiency. This effect persists until the affected enemy is either stunned or defeated, allowing for prolonged buffs without needing a dedicated Stun agent in your lineup.
Another viable S-rank option is the Fusion Compiler, Grace’s signature W-Engine. This is particularly useful if you’re aiming to diversify Vivian’s gameplay. It provides a PEN Ratio alongside a 12% attack boost. When utilizing her special or EX Special attacks, her Anomaly Proficiency will jump by 25% for eight seconds, stacking thrice. Even though Vivian’s special is rarely a focus in her rotation, incorporating it occasionally can help activate this beneficial effect. However, Weeping Gemini remains a stronger choice overall.
For newcomers working with B-rank W-Engines, [Magnetic Storm] Bravo stands out as an excellent base choice. This engine enhances Anomaly Proficiency, Vivian’s most crucial stat, and offers an increase of 25% to 40% to her proficiency for 10 seconds when accumulating Anomaly buildup. You can acquire it with Dennies at the Sixth Street gadget store.
ZZZ Vivian Drive Discs
If you’re curious about the Phaethon’s Melody Drive Disc, it’s ideal for Vivian. It offers the following benefits:
- Two-piece effect: Increases Anomaly Mastery by 8%
- Four-piece effect: Enables an increase of 45 Anomaly Proficiency for eight seconds each time any squad member performs an EX Special attack. Should the attacking character be anyone other than the equipping character, the equipper’s Ether damage surges by 25%.
Due to Vivian’s additional attacks triggered by allies’ EX Specials, you’ll consistently benefit from both buffs.
As maximizing Anomaly Proficiency is crucial, both Freedom Blues and Chaos Jazz serve as the top two-piece sets for Vivian, as they provide a vital boost of 30 Anomaly Proficiency each.
Understanding ZZZ Vivian’s Stats
Vivian’s core passive ability heavily influences her principal stats. This passive amplifies damage when enhanced attacks hit foes suffering from an Anomaly, with scaling based on Anomaly Proficiency levels. Additionally, Vivian inflicts Ether damage equivalent to 55% of her attack whenever her Featherbloom or Suspension skills connect with enemies bearing any Anomaly status. In summary, focusing on Anomaly Proficiency and attack remains vital.
- Slot 1: HP
- Slot 2: Attack
- Slot 3: Defense
- Slot 4: Anomaly Proficiency
- Slot 5: Options include Attack percentage, Ether damage, or PEN Ratio
- Slot 6: Attack percentage or Anomaly Mastery
When optimizing Vivian’s build, both attack and PEN Ratio are critical for maximizing her damage output. Ideally, aim for Anomaly Proficiency of 350 or more, with an attack stat exceeding 2, 000—closer to 2, 500 is even better.
Skill Prioritization for ZZZ Vivian
The majority of Vivian’s damage is derived from her basic attacks, which includes off-field damage triggered by allies’ EX Specials. Due to this, prioritize upgrading her basic attack before focusing on her other skills. Afterward, consider upgrading her chain attack and EX Special, followed by her dodge and quick assist abilities as needed.
In short, the ideal skill upgrade order is as follows:
- Basic attack
- Chain attack
- EX Special
- Dodge
- Quick assist
Recommended Teams for ZZZ Vivian
While Vivian’s bonus ability requires pairing with another Ether or Anomaly character, her kit is notably designed to inflict additional damage to enemies affected by Anomaly effects. Therefore, it’s advantageous to include at least one additional Anomaly character in her team, or even two if possible.
An ideal, high-tier team composition would feature Miyabi, known for her unique Anomaly effect that amplifies her power when Disorder activates:
- Vivian
- Miyabi
- Cheek
You can substitute Yanagi with Astra Yao or another support unit. If Miyabi is unavailable, let Yanagi take on the main role. Burnice is another excellent choice with her ability to apply burn easily and frequently use EX Specials, while Jane Doe is a solid option for applying the Assault effect.
In fact, nearly any Anomaly character can complement Vivian, and it is not a requirement to have two in the lineup:
- Vivian
- Piper or Grace
- Lucy or Nicole
This configuration simplifies team assembly; even without both Piper or Grace, having Nicole is sufficient to activate Vivian’s bonus. Nicole’s defense-reducing abilities bolster team performance effectively and synchronize well with Vivian’s core passive, which can exploit enemies with an Ether Anomaly.
Vivian’s Tier Ranking in ZZZ
Vivian serves as a valuable asset in Anomaly-centric teams. Though she’s not an absolute necessity, her ability to amplify damage output significantly with minimal investment is unparalleled. Her availability of a free W-Engine is a substantial advantage over many premium characters, and she can synergize well with free characters like Nicole and relatively easily obtained ones like Piper to form a potent team. Despite not having Piper, a strong team can still be formed around Nicole, but Vivian should ideally be paired with an Anomaly character for optimal efficacy. Considering these factors, we categorize her on the lower end of our S-tier rankings.
