Zenless Zone Zero: Lighter Build Guide

Stun units are some of the most essential characters in Zenless Zone Zero, who can create large damage windows for the DPS units to deal damage. Lighter is a 5-star Fire Stun unit who launched alongside the second phase of version 1.3. He is a very powerful unit that can not only Stun enemies but also reduce their Ice and Fire resistances.

Lighter can be a bit hard to build; he needs Crit stats, which are always difficult to farm. If you are interested in pulling for Lighter, here's a detailed guide on how to build him optimally and reach his peak potential.

Best Builds For Lighter

Lighter is quite stat-dependent if you are looking to use him for end-game content. This means you'll need a good W-Engine and spend quite some time farming Drive Discs to ensure he can perform optimally.

Best W-Engines for Lighter

Rank	Name	Synergy with Lighter
1	Blazing Laurel	This is the best W-Engine for Lighter, and it synergizes perfectly with his kit. Apart from providing a lot of Impact to Lighter, it also applies a debuff called Wilt on any enemy hit by Ligther's Basic ATK. Any ally who hits an enemy with this debuff will have their Crit DMG enhanced for Fire DMG and Ice DMG by 1.5% for 20 times.
2	Ice Jade Teapot	This is Qingyi's signature W-Engine, but it works quite well on Lighter. It increases his Impact by 0.7% up to 30 times. Additionally, when the number of stacks is 15 or higher, all allies receive a 20% ATK boost.
3	The Restrained	This W-Engine provides a 6% increase in DMG and Daze whenever Lighter hits an enemy with Basic ATK. This effect can stack up to 5 times. This W-Engine increases Lighter's personal DMG quite a bit and helps Stun enemies faster.
4	Steam Oven	This is an A-rank W-Engine that increases Impact DMG by 2% up to 8 times. This W-Engine is decent if you lack some of the powerful S-rank options.

Best Drive Discs for Lighter

Set	Synergy with Lighter
Shockstar Disco	This is the best set for Lighter as it provides Impact and also inflicts 20% more Daze when attacking an enemy with Basic ATK, Dash Attacks, and Dodge Counter.
Inferno Metal (2-pc)	This Drive Disc set provides 10% Fire DMG and can be used to fill up the remaining two spots for Lighter.

Lighter Drive Disc Stat Priority

Disc Slot	Main Stat	Sub Stat
1	HP	Crit Rate > Crit DMG > ATK
2	ATK	Crit Rate > Crit DMG
3	DEF	Crit Rate > Crit DMG
4	Crit Rate or Crit DMG	Crit Rate > Crit DMG > ATK
5	Fire DMG	Crit Rate > Crit DMG > ATK
6	Impact	Crit Rate > Crit DMG > ATK

While Lighter functions best with Crit stats, you can also stack up ATK and Anomaly stats. The Anomaly build is easier but deals comparable damage to the Crit build, and it works with units like Burnice.

Best Bangboo For Lighter

While Drive Discs and W-Engine are important, you need the right Bangboo to complete your Lighter build. These synergize extremely well with the unit:

Sumoboo This A-rank Bangboo works extremely well with Lighter, as its Active Skill can inflict 18% more Daze on enemies whenever there is one Stun character in the team. In this case, Lighter can easily trigger this passive. Red Moccus One of Lighter's best teams is with Burnice, who both belong to Sons of Calydon. This Bangboo increases Skill DMG by 36% whenever two Sons of Calydon members are together in one team. Sharkboo A good choice for Ice teams. With two Ice characters, it increases Anomaly build up by 100%.

Lighter Skill Overview And Priority

Lighter is a powerful unit, but you need to play him properly to trigger the effects of his Core Skill.

Overview

• The key to Lighter is his Core Skill, where he gains Morale stacks over time. He can also gain these stacks whenever his party members costume Energy.
• Once the Morale Stacks reach 80, and Lighter hits an enemy with his fifth Basic ATK, he enters the Morale Burst state. In this state, his jab combos, finishing move, and light punch are enhanced. While in Morale Burst state, when an enemy is attacked by Lighter's skill, he starts consuming the Morale stacks.
• This increases his Impact is increased by 1 percent up to a maximum of 10 percent. Additionally, in the Morale Burst state, hitting an enemy with a jab combo reduces their Ice and Fire RES by 15 percent.
• If there is an Attack unit in the party or a unit shares the Sons of Calydon faction, then all allies gain a stack of Elation whenever Lighter is in the Morale Burst state. This effect can stack up to 20 times, and the Ice and Fire DMG of every agent is increased by 1.25 percent per stack. The maximum amount of damage buff the allies can obtain is 75 percent.

Make sure Lighter's Impact is over 170 to gain the 75 percent damage buff from Elation.

Skill Priority

In terms of skill priority, this is how you should be leveling up Lighter:

• Core Skill
• Special ATK
• Assist
• Ultimate

The rest of the skills can be leveled up, but they aren't that big of a priority.

Tips For Playing Lighter

• Focus on gaining Morale stacks.
• Once you have enough Morale, you need to enter the Morale Burst state.
• This can be done by using the fifth hit from your Basic ATK combo or Quick Assist.
• In this state, you'll need to trigger Elation. This will happen automatically, provided there are Attack characters in the party or units from Sons of Calydon.
• When Elation is triggered, allies gain Ice and Fire DMG boosts up to 75 percent.
• Trigger your Ultimate if necessary to deal massive Fire DMG.
