4-pc Astral Voice and 2-pc Swing Jazz is Astra Yao’s best Drive Disc combo in Zenless Zone Zero. Anything else is a huge downgrade to the overall value of Astra Yao’s kit.

Astra Yao Drive Disc stats, substats and skill priority in ZZZ

Astra Yao’s recommended Drive Disc stats and substats are simple. She needs to have at least 3430 ATK to get the full value out of her Core Skill.

Getting as much Energy Regen as possible is also important since it translates to more Quick Assists empowered by Astra Yao. Therefore, focus on getting the follow stats for Astra Yao’s Drive Discs:

  • Drive Disc 4: ATK%
  • Drive Disc 5: ATK%
  • Drive Disc 6: ATK% or Energy Regen

Substat priority: ATK% > ATK > PEN

As for her skill priority, the following order is the most optimal:

Core skill > Special Attack > Chain Attack > Assist = Dodge = Basic Attack

Here are some of Astra Yao’s best W-Engines in Zenless Zone Zero:

  • Elegant Vanity (Signature W-Engine)
  • Bashful Demon
  • Kaboom the Cannon
  • The Vault

Elegant Vanity is her best W-Engine as it provides a lot of ATK and buffs the overall damage output of the team.

If you fail to get her signature W-Engine, Bashful Demon and Kaboom the Cannon are solid options. The former is good if you are lacking ATK while the latter is better to get more Energy Regen.

The Vault is a riskier choice as it provides no direct increase to Astra Yao’s ATK. However, it gives a large amount of Energy Regen and damage buffs to the team.
