Who is Pyrois in Zenless Zone Zero

Pyrois Skill level-up priority

To maximize Pyrois' damage potential, we recommend upgrading its Core Skill and Chain Attack (Ultimate)

Name	Skill Priority
Basic Attack	★ ★ ★ ★
Dodge	★ ★
Assist	★ ★
Special Attack	★ ★ ★ ★
Chain Attack	★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Core Skill	★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Pyrois’ top priority when leveling skills is its Core Skill, as it provides extra base stats and boosts the damage of both its left- and right-branch ultimates. After that, focus on Chain Attacks, Basic Attacks and Special Attack since they account for most of its damage output, with Assists and Dodge coming in next as a lower priority.

Best W-engines for Pyrois

Pyrois' best W-engines are Sol Exuvia, The Brimstone and Marcato Desire.

Signature Weapon

Pyrois’ signature weapon and best-in-slot is Sol Exuvia. This Ether DPS gains a significant ATK boost when equipping it, along with a solid 20% Crit Rate increase. On top of that, Pyrois’ attacks can ignore a portion of enemy DEF, further amplifying overall damage output and resulting in noticeably higher damage consistency and burst potential.

CRIT Rate increases by 20%. If Pyrois equips this W-Engine, using [Ultimate] grants the [Solar Eclipse] effect. Under [Solar Eclipse], the equipper's DMG ignores 28% of DEF, lasting 45s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. Entering combat also grants the [Solar Eclipse] effect.

Alternative Weapons for Pyrois

The Brimstone comes in second as Pyrois' best W-engine. It has the same main stats as its Signature W-engine, and provides even more ATK. Still, Sol Exuvia is far more superior due to defense ignore and crit.

For the best F2P Pyrois build, we recommend picking up Marcato Desire. This A-rank W-engine provides 20% Crit rate and ATK boost upon hitting an enemy with Special Attacks.

Best Teams for Pyrois

Here are the best teams for Pyrois for the best Pyrois build!

Pyrois is an Ether Attack DPS, and like most damage dealers in this role, it typically runs a standard Attacker–Stunner–Support team composition.

Pyrois Norma Astra Team

Pyrois, being an on-field DPS requires a stunner and a support, and this team fits the requirement perfectly.

Norma is the new Fire Stunner in version 3.0, and besides applying heavy Daze, she can trigger the next character’s Chain Attack, increase stun duration and the stun multiplier, and provide additional buffs. Enter Astra Yao for the last slot, providing healing and more significant damage buffs.

Pyrois Dialyn Sunna Team

This Pyrois–Dialyn–Sunna team performs just as well, with Pyrois supported by some of the strongest characters in the game.

Dialyn is currently the strongest Stunner in the game and is likely to stay that way for some time. She offers Ultimate conversion for more frequent Pyrois Ultimates, increased stun duration and multipliers, and a 40% damage boost. Meanwhile, Sunna boosts Pyrois’ damage through DMG increases and Ether Veil.

Pyrois F2P team

Run a Pyrois F2P team by slotting in Lycaon and Nicole. Lycaon and Nicole are among the most F2P-friendly agents in Zenless Zone Zero, and they also pair well with Ether DPS units.

Lycaon functions effectively as a Stunner while also providing additional damage buffs. Meanwhile, Nicole offers strong crowd control along with DEF shred to further amplify team damage.
