What is the best Soldier 11 build?
Soldier 11 is an S-rank attack specialty character who deals both physical and fire slash damage. She’s a strong DPS option, especially if you like to burn your enemies.
| Rank | S |
| Attribute | Fire |
| Specialty | Attack |
| Attack type | Slash |
| Best W-engine | The Brimstone |
| Best drive discs | 4pc Inferno Metal and 2pc Swing Jazz |
| Main stats |
|
| Sub-stats | Crit rate = Crit damage > attack% > pen ratio |
We recommend equipping Soldier 11 with The Brimstone W-Engine, a four-piece set of Inferno Metal, and a two-piece set of Swing Jazz. Focus on her crit rate, crit damage, and attack% stats when rerolling her disc drives.
You can also increase Soldier 11’s damage by having another fire agent in your squad or teaming up with another member of Obol Squad when they finally launch. We recommend picking Zenless Zone Zero’s Ben or Zenless Zone Zero’s Koleda to fulfill the fire requirement.
What are Soldier 11’s best W-Engines?
Soldier 11’s best W-Engine is her signature S-Rank engine called The Brimstone. It provides a significant, stackable attack buff whenever she hits an enemy with her attacks.
If you don’t have this S-Rank W-Engine yet, Starlight Engine and Cannon Rotor are both good attack-aligned A-Rank alternatives.
Here are Soldier 11’s best W-engines:
| The Brimstone | Stat: attack Skill: upon hitting an enemy with a basic attack, dash attack, or dodge counter, Soldier 11’s attack increases by 3.5% for eight seconds, stacking up to eight times. This effect can trigger once every 0.5 seconds and the duration of each stack is calculated separately |
Limited or standard banner |
| Cannon Rotor | Stat: crit rate Skill: increases Soldier 11’s attack. Attacks that land a critical hit on an enemy inflict an additional 200% of Soldier 11’s attack as damage. This can trigger once every eight seconds |
New Eridu City Fund |
| Starlight Engine | Stat: attack Skill: launching a dodge counter or quick assist increases Soldier 11’s attack for 12 seconds |
Limited or standard banner, or Gadget Store |
| [Lunar] Noviluna | Stat: crit rate Skill: launching an EX special attack generates three energy for Soldier 11. This effect can trigger once every 12 seconds |
Limited or standard banner, or Gadget Store |
What are the best drive discs for Soldier 11?
Soldier 11’s best four-piece drive disc set is Inferno Metal. This increases her fire damage and synergizes with her use of burn, boosting her crit rate.
We recommend combining these with two pieces of Swing Jazz for a nice boost to her energy regen.
Here are ZZZ Soldier 11’s best drive discs:
| Inferno Metal | Two pieces: increases fire damage by 10% Four pieces: when Soldier 11 hits a burning enemy, her crit rate increases by 28% for eight seconds |
| Swing Jazz | Two pieces: increases energy regeneration by 20% Four pieces: launching a chain attack or ultimate increases all squad members’ damage by 15% for 12 seconds. Passive effects of the same name do not stack |

What’s the best Soldier 11 team comp?
Soldier 11 is an incredibly strong S-rank fire attacker, so it makes sense to build your team around her. She slots well into mono-fire team comps as this triggers her additional ability and we have a great selection of fire agents to choose from. We’ve also recommended the best Zenless Zone Zero bangboo for each team.
