Billy Kid Build Guide for Zenless Zone Zero

Billy Kid Build Summary — ZZZ A-Rank Physical Attack

The best Billy Kid build in Zenless Zone Zero (Version 3.3) is The Brimstone with Woodpecker Electro 4-piece and Branch & Blade Song 2-piece, CRIT Rate% = CRIT DMG% / PEN Ratio >= ATK % > Physical DMG % / ATK% main stats. Prydwen's Oct 2026 tier list ranks Billy Kid T2.

The best W-Engine for Billy Kid in Zenless Zone Zero is The Brimstone — At R5 Brimstone is Billy's best engine: his loop of Basic Attacks, Dash Attacks and Dodge Counters keeps stacks high. At P1 it is still competitive, though the weaker effect loses some ground to other premium picks. Even without dupes it is the strongest standard banner option for him. If you don't have it, Cloudcleave Radiance, Heartstring Nocturne, Steel Cushion, Starlight Engine Replica, Starlight Engine, Street Superstar, Cannon Rotor, Gilded Blossom are solid alternatives.

For Drive Discs, run 4-piece Woodpecker Electro with 2-piece Branch & Blade Song, using Disk 4 — CRIT Rate% = CRIT DMG%, Disk 5 — PEN Ratio >= ATK % > Physical DMG %, Disk 6 — ATK% as main stats, and prioritise CRIT Rate = CRIT DMG and ATK% on substats.

Level Core Skill first, then Chain Attack, Special Attack, Dodge, Basic Attack, Assist.

The best Billy Kid team (Nicole Demara + Anby Demara) pairs Billy Kid with Nicole Demara, Anby Demara. The free starter squad, and all three Core Passives activate together. Nicole groups enemies and shreds DEF, Anby supplies Daze and Shock, and Billy fires into the Stun window.
