Our ZZZ Lucy build introduces you to one of the Sons of Calydon – an A-rank support character who deals fire damage and bats her guard boars toward the enemy. You heard that right – she has three loyal guard boars named Grassy, Woody, and Bricky that join her in combat, and wear Sons of Calydon leather jackets.
Make sure you check out her fellow teammates in our Zenless Zone Zero Piper, Zenless Zone Zero Caesar, and Zenless Zone Zero Burnice builds, then browse our Zenless Zone Zero tier list to see if you should roll for them. Oh, and here are the new Zenless Zone Zero codes.
Here’s everything in our ZZZ Lucy build guide:
What is the best Lucy build?
Lucy is an A-rank character who deals fire damage with a strike fighting style and has a support specialty.
| Rank | A |
| Attribute | Fire |
| Specialty | Support |
| Attack type | Strike |
| Best W-engine | Kaboom the Cannon |
| Best drive discs | 4pc Swing Jazz, 2pc Hormone Punk |
| Main stats |
|
| Sub-stats | Attack ratio > attack > crit (rate or damage) > anomaly proficiency |
As for how to build Lucy, you need to stack up her attack stat with drive disc stats. She’s a great support unit in a lot of teams, especially with a DPS that appreciates an attack boost. Using her together with Caesar further improves everyone’s attack stat and their damage output.
We recommend you equip her with a Kaboom the Cannon W-Engine for an energy regen boost. For drive discs, go with four pieces of Swing Jazz to boost energy regen further and two pieces of Hormone Punk for a crit rate boost. It’s worth noting that the effect from a four-piece set of Swing Jazz doesn’t stack, so if you have it equipped to someone else, feel free to use four Hormone Punk and two Swing Jazz instead.
What are Lucy’s best W-Engines?
Kaboom the Cannon is our recommendation for Lucy’s W-Engine as it helps boost squad members’ attack and fits her kit perfectly. If this evades you on the banner, a higher refinement Reverb – Mark III is also a great option to improve her chain attacks within a team.
Here are ZZZ Lucy’s best W-engines:
| Kaboom the Cannon | Stat: energy regeneration Skill: Increases all squad members’ attack for eight seconds when any friendly unit in the squad hits an enemy, stacking up to four times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately, and each friendly unit can provide one stack. Passive effects of the same name do not stack |
All banners |
| Reverb – Mark III | Stat: HP Skill: Launching a chain attack or ultimate increases all squad members’ attack for ten seconds. This effect can trigger once every 20 seconds. Passive effects of the same name do not stack. This w-engine is best at higher refinement levels |
All banners |
| Unfettered Game Ball | Stat: energy regeneration Skill: Whenever Lucy’s attacks trigger an attribute effect, all squad members’ crit rate against the struck enemy increases for 12 seconds. The bonuses that trigger by the same type of passive effects do not stack |
New Eridu City Fund pass |
What are the best drive discs for Lucy?
We recommend four pieces of Swing Jazz for energy regen boost and buff to other squad members’ damage. As for the two-piece set, we’re going with Hormone Punk, to boost Lucy’s attack.
We all know what it’s like to farm drive discs, so you can use a two-piece set of Freedom Blues to up Lucy’s anomaly proficiency, or Inferno Metal to give her a fire-damage boost in the meantime.
Here are ZZZ Lucy’s best drive discs:
| Swing Jazz | Two pieces – Increases energy regen by 20% Four pieces – Increases all squad members’ damage by 15% for 12 seconds when launching a chain attack or ultimate. Passive effects of the same name do not stack |
| Hormone Punk | Two pieces – Increases fire damage by 10% Four pieces – Increases crit rate by 28% by eight seconds when you hit a burning enemy |
ZZZ Lucy stat recommendations
Make sure you prioritize these stats when building Lucy.
Main stats:
- Disc 4: Attack ratio
- Disc 5: Attack ratio
- Disc 6: Energy regeneration / attack ratio
Sub-stats:
- Attack/%
- Crit rate/damage
- Pen ratio
- Anomaly proficiency
What is the best ZZZ Lucy team comp?
Lucy is a great support for a lot of teams. She has a team-wide attack buff, which can add significantly to any DPS output. She also doesn’t require much on-field time and can add some extra damage with her guard boars. Below are just some of the teams we recommend using Lucy in.
Note that if you’re using Lucy with Jane Doe and Seth, you need to use them in that specific order – Seth’s assist swaps backward, whereas Lucy’s swaps forward, so using them in the correct order is key to getting Jane both boosts.
Here are some examples of strong ZZZ Lucy team comps:

What are Lucy’s skills?
Lucy’s skills feature plenty of boar goodness as they explode to deal damage to enemies and whirl baseball bats around the arena.

What are Lucy’s mindscape cinemas?
If you’re new to ZZZ, mindscape cinema is similar to Genshin Impact’s constellations and Honkai Star Rail’s eidolons. To increase Lucy’s mindscape cinema level you need to pick her up more than once during a gacha pull.
Here are all of Lucy’s mindscape cinemas:
| 01 | Drill Formations Lucy recovers two energy when the guard boars launch Spinning Swing! You can trigger this effect once every 15 seconds, with each boar having its own cooldown |
| 02 | Little Boar Captain When Lucy uses a chain attack or ultimate, all squad members, Bangboo, and guard boars gain the Cheer On! status for ten seconds |
| 03 | Ironfist Overseer Increases the level of basic attack, dodge, assist, special attack, and chain attack by two |
| 04 | Chaos Ball Game Increases all allies’ crit damage by an additional 10% when Cheer On! is active |
| 05 | Wildland Princess Increases the level of basic attack, dodge, assist, special attack, and chain attack by two |
| 06 | Fierce Fangs of Fire When an ally in the Cheer On! state hits an enemy with an EX Special attack, a guard boar drops from the sky to deal AoE fire damage equal to 300% of the guard boar’s attack. This extends the duration of Cheer On! by five seconds for all squad members. The duration can increase up to three times, with a maximum duration of 30 seconds. Refreshing Cheer On! resets the stack count. After the explosion, the boars launch Spinning Swing! |
