Build Summary
updated 2026-10-24Astra Yao Build Summary — ZZZ S-Rank Ether Support
The best Astra Yao build in Zenless Zone Zero (Version 3.3) is Elegant Vanity with Astral Voice 4-piece and Swing Jazz 2-piece, ATK% / ATK% / Energy Regen = ATK% main stats. Prydwen's Oct 2026 tier list ranks Astra Yao T0.5.
The best W-Engine for Astra Yao in Zenless Zone Zero is Elegant Vanity — Astra's Signature and one of her top choices. Generous ATK% helps cap her Core Passive buff, 5 Energy comes in every time a squadmate performs a Quick Assist, Chain Attack, Defensive Assist or Evasive Assist (near constant with her kit), and a team-wide DMG boost of up to 20% stays up indefinitely. Strong, but a luxury rather than a must: well-geared alternatives get close and sometimes out-buff it. If you don't have it, Bashful Demon, Kaboom the Cannon, The Vault are solid alternatives.
For Drive Discs, run 4-piece Astral Voice with 2-piece Swing Jazz, using Disk 4 — ATK%, Disk 5 — ATK%, Disk 6 — Energy Regen = ATK% as main stats, and prioritise ATK% and Flat ATK (Top Priorities Until Ability Cap) on substats.
