Sunbringer Build Overview

Sunbringer Kit and Playstyle

Who Is Sunbringer in ZZZ?

Sunbringer is a Void Hunter and the first Enchainer Agent, arriving in Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.4. Her combat data classifies her as an S-Rank Armorer using Genesis Flare, a Fire-based attribute.

She fills the main DPS position. Her skills use DEF as their damage multiplier, giving DEF buffs direct offensive value.

How Do the Three Sunbringers Work Together?

Eldreda, Lindverne, and Dracaene form one playable Agent, with each handling a different part of the shared kit.

Character	Combat Function
Lindverne	Fast attacks, coordinated EX Special Attacks, and the first Ultimate
Dracaene	Parries, Defensive Assists, and defensive follow-ups
Eldreda	Heavy attacks, Converging Edge, and Ember Scar finishers

Sunbringer occupies one squad position. The other two teammates can provide Daze, buffs, and protection while all three Sunbringers participate through the same kit.

How to Use Sunbringer's Skills

Basic Attacks

Press Basic Attack to perform Lindverne's or Eldreda's four-hit combo. These sequences help build Gash, while the final heavy hit consumes Gash stacks to trigger Maim and generate Wishfire.

During Lindverne's fourth attack, repeatedly press or hold Basic Attack to extend her slash.

Converging Edge

When Wishfire reaches 120, hold Basic Attack to activate Bannerbearer - Converging Edge.

Eldreda enters with an empowered attack, consuming 120 Wishfire and granting Chain Teeth and Flag Order for enhanced coordinated attacks.

EX Special Attacks

When Sharpness is available, press Special Attack to launch an EX Special Attack. Its heavy hit can consume Gash and trigger additional Maim damage.

Chain Teeth and Flag Order unlock stronger follow-ups. The finisher of EX Special Attack: Kindled Lamp - Torch of Eternal Day also settles accumulated Ember Scar.

Ultimates

With Lindverne active and Decibels at maximum, use Onward, Together. Holding Flag Order allows this Ultimate to convert it into Wish Core.

Wish Core enables Eldreda's By This Wish, All Things Remade, which delivers a finishing attack and settles Ember Scar.

Best Sunbringer W-Engines

Sunbringer benefits from Armorer W-Engines that provide DEF, CRIT Rate, and bonuses to Sharp DMG. The effects below refer to Phase 1.

Sunbringer Signature W-Engine

Sunbringer's signature is the recommended option because its bonuses directly support her damage scaling and critical mechanics.

At Lv.60, it provides 446 Base DEF and 48% DEF. Its passive adds 20% CRIT Rate, plus 20% Fire DMG and 10% Fire Sharp DMG while its buff is active.

The buff activates upon entering combat and after an EX Special Attack, lasting 25 seconds. Her regular EX Special Attacks refresh its duration throughout combat.

Bloodmarrow Coffer

Bloodmarrow Coffer provides 20% CRIT Rate at Lv.60. For each percentage point of CRIT Rate above 100%, its passive grants 0.48% additional damage, up to 24%.

The weapon bonus reaches its maximum at 150% effective CRIT Rate, making it useful for builds with substantial CRIT Rate from equipment and combat buffs.

Candlelit Scheme

Candlelit Scheme provides 40% DEF at Lv.60. After an EX Special Attack, it grants 8% CRIT Rate for 40 seconds and increases damage against enemies below 50% HP by 15%.

Its DEF and CRIT bonuses support Sunbringer throughout combat, while its additional damage bonus helps finish weakened enemies.

Best Sunbringer Drive Discs and Stats

Best Drive Disc Sets

Four-Piece Set	Two-Piece Pairing	Main Benefits
Rank Stele	Thorned Rose or Soul Rock	DEF, CRIT Rate, and enemy DEF ignore for Fire Sharp DMG
Thorned Rose	Soul Rock	DEF, increased damage, and CRIT Rate based on initial DEF

Rank Stele

Rank Stele provides 16% DEF from its two-piece effect. Its four-piece effect adds 12% CRIT Rate and allows Fire Sharp DMG to ignore 16% of enemy DEF.

Pair it with two pieces of Thorned Rose or Soul Rock for another 16% DEF. Both provide the same two-piece bonus, so the difference comes from their main stats and substats.

Thorned Rose

Thorned Rose is an alternative four-piece set. It provides 16% DEF, 15% increased damage, and additional CRIT Rate based on initial DEF:

• 1,000 initial DEF: 8% CRIT Rate.
• 1,800 initial DEF: 16% CRIT Rate.
• 4-piece Thorned Rose + 2-piece Soul Rock works as an existing equipment option while farming Rank Stele. Reaching 1,800 initial DEF activates its full CRIT Rate bonus.
• Rank Stele has no equivalent initial DEF requirement.

Best Drive Disc Main Stats

PEN Ratio is an alternative for Disc 5. Its value depends on the complete build and team, including Sunbringer's existing DEF ignore.

DEF% remains the recommended Disc 6 main stat. Her EX Special Attacks use Sharpness, so Energy Regen is not a priority for her personal build.

Best Substats Priority

CRIT Rate / DEF% > CRIT DMG > flat DEF / PEN

CRIT Rate and DEF% are the main priorities. Initial CRIT DMG also contributes through conversion: every 1% initial CRIT DMG grants 0.35% initial CRIT Rate.

Sharp critical hits use Laceration DMG Bonus. CRIT Rate above 100% can enable an additional Laceration check, giving excess CRIT Rate offensive value.

Drive Disc substats provide flat PEN, while PEN Ratio is available as a Disc 5 main stat.

Recommended Stat Targets

Midnight Sun adds 40% CRIT Rate during combat. For example, a pre-combat total of 70%, after accounting for equipment and conversion effects, becomes 110% with Midnight Sun active.

Sunbringer Skill Priority

Core Skill > Special Attack > Chain Attack > Basic Attack > Assist > Dodge

Prioritize the Core Skill and Special Attack, which support her central mechanics and coordinated attacks.

Chain Attack upgrades also improve her Ultimates. Basic Attack strengthens her regular sequences and Converging Edge.

Assist and Dodge can follow. Assist becomes more valuable when Dracaene's parries and follow-up attacks feature heavily in your gameplay.

Best Sunbringer Teams

Sunbringer + Norma + Robin

Sunbringer

Norma

Robin

A hypercarry team that keeps Sunbringer active while Norma contributes through her creations and Robin provides DEF buffs and shielding.

Norma helps build Daze from off-field and improves the damage opportunity created by Stun. Sunbringer can continue building resources while Norma's creations contribute, giving the lineup sustained support without frequent interruptions to her field time.

Sunbringer + Roxy + Robin

Sunbringer

Roxy

Robin

Roxy provides Stun support and attribute-based damage buffs, while Robin supplies DEF buffs and protection.

Roxy's Contamination and Cleanse interactions grant Laceration bonuses for the corresponding attribute. Maintaining the Fire-related bonus strengthens Sunbringer's attacks, adding an attribute-based support layer alongside the team's Stun windows.

Sunbringer + Anby + Nicole

Sunbringer

Anby

Nicole

A beginner-friendly team that only requires pulling Sunbringer. Anby and Nicole are obtained for free during the early game, making this lineup suitable for players who have just started Zenless Zone Zero.

Anby provides Stun and meets Sunbringer's Additional Ability requirement. Nicole contributes grouping and DEF reduction, helping Sunbringer damage enemies gathered together. The team provides a complete starting lineup without requiring another limited character pull.

Sunbringer Mindscape Cinema

Mindscape 1

The Reclusive Void Hunter

Grants 120 Wishfire upon battlefield entry, increases Gash Buildup Rate by 10%, and allows skill damage to ignore 15% of enemy Fire RES. The entry effect has a 180-second cooldown in Investigation Zone mode.

Mindscape 2

The Heir's Banner of Rebellion

Increases Ember Scar accumulation by 20% and allows other damaging skills to record Ember Scar equal to 15% of their actual damage. It also enables execution against normal enemies and Elites when stored Ember Scar reaches their remaining HP.

Is Sunbringer M1 or M2 Worth Getting?

M1 offers immediate Converging Edge access and Fire RES ignore. M2 adds further Ember Scar benefits. For a new account, M0 with a complete team is the recommended starting point.

Sunbringer Build FAQ

Conclusion

Build Sunbringer around DEF, effective CRIT Rate, and Fire Sharp DMG. Her signature W-Engine and Rank Stele provide a dedicated setup, while alternative Armorer W-Engines and Thorned Rose offer other equipment options.

Pair her with Norma or Roxy alongside Robin, or start with Anby and Nicole for a team that only requires pulling Sunbringer. Good luck to every Proxy hoping to bring her home!
