Zenless Zone Zero Lighter build guide: Drive Discs, W-Engines, and more

Lighter is one of the best Agents in Zenless Zone Zero. He is an S-Rank Fire Stun Agent capable of buffing Ice and Fire Attack Agents to the next level.

He also dishes out solid damage and can quickly build up an enemy’s Daze meter. However, building him with the best W-Engine and Drive Discs is necessary to fully unlock Lighter’s potential. This guide provides the best build for Lighter in ZZZ.

Listed below are the best Drive Disc options for Lighter in Zenless Zone Zero:

  • 4-pc Shockstar Disco and 2-pc Swing Jazz
  • 4-pc Shockstar Disco and 2-pc Hormone Punk
  • 4-pc Proto Punk and 2-pc Shockstar Disco
  • 4-pc Shockstar Disco and 2-pc Chaos Jazz/Freedom Blues (Anomaly Lighter only)

Shockstar Disco is Lighter’s best Drive Disc set as he is a Stun Agent. As for 2-pc options, you can opt to increase his Energy Regen or ATK% with Swing Jazz or Hormone Punk, respectively.

A solid alternative to Shockstar Disco is Proto Punk. While Lighter can’t make use of the 2-pc effect, the 4-pc effect is brilliant for him as he often activates Defensive Assists.

If you want to play an Anomaly Lighter, a 2-pc Chaos Jazz/Freedom Blues is necessary to get a good boost to his Anomaly Proficiency.

Lighter Best W-Engines in ZZZ

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

  • Blazing Laurel
  • Hellfire Gears
  • Ice-Jade Teapot
  • The Restrained
  • Spectral Gaze (only if you lack CRIT Rate)
  • Precious Fossilized Core
  • Steam Oven
  • Six Shooter

Blazing Laurel, Lighter’s signature W-Engine, is the best option for him. The stats and effects it provides synergize exceptionally well with his playstyle.

A good alternative S-Rank W-Engine is the Ice-Jade Teapot. Other decent options include Hellfire Gears, The Restrained and Spectral Gaze. These W-Engines serve as good stat-sticks even though their effects aren’t well utilized by Lighter.

For A-Rank and F2P W-Engines, Precious Fossilized Core stands out as the best option for Lighter. The Battle Pass W-Engine, Six Shooter, is also a good choice. Steam Oven can alleviate Lighter’s need to go for 2-pc Swing Jazz in order to get more raw damage or improve the team’s damage.
