Zenless Zone Zero Astra Yao Tier List

We’ve split our tier list into two, covering both the best W-Engines and Drive Discs. We wanted to give you options in case you can’t get the best one and have to settle for an alternative.

W-Engine Tier List

There are four W-Engines that are compatible with Astra Yao, and we’ve ordered them from S to C. If you can, use the S, but any of the below will lead to an increase in power.

AKaboom the Cannon

Drive Discs Tier List

You’re better off using a combination of Drive Discs if you can. Astral Voice is a must as it’s a powerful DPS boost for Astra Yao that no other Drive Disc can compete with.

For your secondary, Swing Jazz is best for the 20% Energy Regen increase. Hormone Punk is a solid alternative, thanks to its ATK boost.
