Although she’s an Anomaly Agent in Zenless Zone Zero, Miyabi’s build revolves around Crit before Anomaly-related stats. Therefore, it can be difficult to pick a good weapon for Miyabi in ZZZ, since Anomaly W-Engines don’t usually offer Crit Rate stats.
Crit Rate W-Engines
Miyabi needs a total of 80% Crit Rate (including in-combat bonuses) to maximize her Core Passive. Therefore, if players don’t have a good Anomaly weapon, Miyabi can wield any W-Engine with Crit Rate sub-stats. There are a ton of options for this, like:
- Marcato Desire
- Cannon Rotor
- Steel Cushion
- Deep Sea Visitor
- Myriad Eclipse
- Heartstring Nocturne
- Spectral Gaze
Since these W-Engines are meant for other Specialties, Miyabi won’t get to benefit at all from its passive, which is why these W-Engines aren’t as optimal as a normal Anomaly weapon for Miyabi in ZZZ.
Specific W-Engine Considerations
Roaring Ride
Roaring Ride is meant for a character who can continuously deal damage with their EX Special Attack, like Piper in ZZZ. Since Miyabi can’t optimally use the weapon’s passive, this W-Engine’s performance varies based on the RNG.
Weeping Gemini
Since Miyabi’s team will revolve around triggering Anomaly, Weeping Gemini is a great option for her. However, since the buff is not always active, the weapon’s performance changes based on who you’re fighting. Against small enemies, Weeping Gemini isn’t very optimal, but it’s good for boss fights.
Rainforest Gourmet
Rainforest Gourmet is a great Anomaly weapon in general, given that most characters use Energy to activate their special features. The best way to use this W-Engine on Miyabi is to ensure she activates the weapon’s passive before unleashing her 6-stacks Basic Attack: Shimotsuki.
Top Tier Options
Electro-Lip Gloss
Electro-Lip Gloss is the most stable 4-star weapon for Miyabi in ZZZ. It’s trivial for Miyabi’s team to ensure there are enemies afflicted with Anomaly, which means the W-Engine’s stat bonus will always be active. One downside is that this W-Engine is a Battle Pass weapon in ZZZ, so it’s not accessible for F2P players.
Fusion Compiler
Fusion Compiler is a standard banner W-Engine, so there’s some chance that players have it in their inventory. Although it looks mediocre since it has a PEN Ratio sub-stat instead of other stats like Crit Rate or Anomaly Proficiency, this weapon is actually Miyabi’s second-best option behind her signature weapon.
Miyabi’s Signature Weapon
Hailstorm Shrine
Hailstorm Shrine is perfectly designed for Miyabi, where its sub-stat grants Crit Rate, a peculiar stat for typical Anomaly Agents. Its passive also gives massive Crit DMG to ensure Miyabi can fully benefit from her high Crit Rate stat. Of course, to make it a niche weapon, the passive specifically targets Ice DMG, so only Ice characters can fully benefit from it.
