Not sure of the best Astra Yao build in Zenless Zone Zero? Well, we’re here to help you. In this guide, we’ve ranked all of the best W-Engines, Drive Discs, and more to help you determine which gear is best to equip.
We’ll also take a look at the best skills to upgrade for Astra Yao, as well as some generic tips.
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.
Tier | W-Engine |
S | Elegant Vanity |
A | Kaboom the Cannon |
B | Bashful Demon |
C | The Vault |
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.
Tier | Drive Disc |
S | Astral Voice |
A | Swing Jazz |
B | Hormone Punk |
