ZZZ Ellen W-Engine Choice

S W-Engine

Deep Sea Visitor

Increases Ice DMG by 25%. Upon hitting an enemy with a Basic Attack, the equipper's CRIT Rate increases by 10% for 8s. When dealing Ice DMG with a Dash Attack, the equipper's CRIT Rate increases by an additional 10% for 15s. The duration of each effect is calculated separately.

Myriad Eclipse

Increases CRIT DMG by 45/51.75/58.5/65.25/72%. When using an EX Special Attack, Chain Attack, or Ultimate to deal Ice DMG, the equipper gains the Absolute Zero Death Sentence effect for 3s. While Absolute Zero Death Sentence is active, the character ignores 25/28.75/32.5/36.25/40% of the enemy's DEF when landing a hit.

Heartstring Nocturne

CRIT DMG increases by 50/57.5/65/72.5/80%. When the equipper enters combat, or activates a Chain Attack or Ultimate, they gain 1 stack of Heartstring. Each stack of Heartstring allows the equipper's Chain Attack and Ultimate to ignore 12.5/14.5/16.5/18.5/20% of the target's Fire RES, stacking up to 2 times and lasting 30s. Repeated triggers reset the duration.

The Brimstone

Upon hitting an enemy with a Basic Attack, Dash Attack, or Dodge Counter, the equipper's ATK increases by 3.5/4.4/5.3/6/7% for 8s, stacking up to 8 times. This effect can trigger once every 0.5s. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.

A W-Engine

Cannon Rotor

Increases ATK by 7.5/8.6/9.7/10.8/12%. Landing a critical hit on an enemy will inflict an additional 200% of ATK as DMG. This effect can trigger once every 8/7.5/7/6.5/6s.

Marcato Desire

When an EX Special Attack or Chain Attack hits an enemy, the equipper's ATK increases by 6/6.9/7.8/8.7/9.6% for 8s. While the target is under an Attribute Anomaly, this effect is increased by an additional 6/6.9/7.8/8.7/9.6%.

ZZZ Ellen Drive Disc Set

It is currently not recommended to run the 4-piece Polar Metal set.

Its damage bonus is heavily diluted by existing zone buffs from Lycaon, Rina, and the environment, making its value significantly lower in the current patch. In addition, due to team compositions and environmental factors, it is often difficult to consistently trigger Shatter Freeze, causing the set’s special effect to underperform.

Recommended 4-piece sets for now: Woodpecker Electro, Fanged Metal, Hormone Punk

Recommended 2-piece options: Any sets that provide ATK, Crit Rate, Crit DMG, or PEN as their 2-piece bonus.

Woodpecker Electro x4

2-Pc: CRIT Rate +8%

4-Pc: Landing a critical hit on an enemy with a Basic Attack, Dodge Counter, or EX Special Attack increases the equipper's ATK by 9% for 6s. The buff duration for different skills are calculated separately.

Puffer Electro x2

2-Pc: PEN Ratio +8%

ZZZ Ellen Mindscape Cinema

1. Glacial Omen

Upon hitting an enemy with a Swift Scissors strike during Dash Attack: Arctic Ambush, the obtained Flash Freeze Charges are increased to 3. Upon hitting an enemy with a Charged Scissors strike during Dash Attack: Arctic Ambush, the obtained Flash Freeze Charges are increased to 6. For each Flash Freeze Charge consumed, Ellen's CRIT Rate is increased by 2% for 15s, stacking up to 6 times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.


2. Arctic Ocean Predator

The 3rd hit of Basic Attack: Flash Freeze Trimming can be directly followed up with EX Special Attack: Sharknami. For each point of Flash Freeze Charge when using an EX Special Attack, the current attack's CRIT DMG is increased by 20%, up to a max of 60%.


3. Overtime-Intolerant

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special At tack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2


4. Endless Hoarfrost

Whenever a squad member Freezes or Stuns an enemy, Ellen gains 6 Flash Freeze Charges and the Quick Charge effect. She also recovers 4 Energy. The Energy recovery effect can trigger once per 10s.


5. Adequate Sleep

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2


6. The Feast Begins

When Ellen uses an EX Special Attack, Chain Attack, or gains Quick Charge, her PEN Ratio increases by 20% for 6s. She also gains 1 stack of The Feast Begins, up to a maximum of 3 stacks. With 3 stacks of The Feast Begins, using a Charged Scissors strike during Dash Attack: Arctic Ambush consumes all stacks, increasing the DMG of the current attack by 250%.

ZZZ Ellen Pull Priority

If you plan to pull for Ellen, M1 or M2 is already a highly cost-effective stopping point, offering substantial performance boosts without needing to chase higher constellations.

Ellen’s M1 not only increases her Crit Rate, but also grants six Flash Freeze Charges instantly whenever she performs a charged normal attack. This greatly reduces the frequency required to build charges and significantly improves her rotation efficiency, resulting in roughly a 20% overall damage increase.

Her M2 further enhances her output: when activating her Enhanced Special Attack, the more remaining Flash Freeze Charges she has, the higher the damage—up to three charges for the maximum bonus.
