The best W-Engine for Evelyn in Zenless Zone Zero is Heartstring Nocturne — Evelyn's own Signature Engine and unsurprisingly her clear best choice. Grants a tremendous amount of unconditional CRIT RATE and CRIT DMG and has an incredibly consistent combat buff offering up to 25% FIRE RES PEN for Chain Attacks and Ultimates which is perfect for Evelyn along with a massive damage multiplier. If you don't have it, Severed Innocence, Cordis Germina, Starlight Engine, Steel Cushion are solid alternatives.

For Drive Discs, run 4-piece Hormone Punk, using Disk 4 — ATK% > CRIT DMG%, Disk 5 — PEN Ratio% > Fire DMG% > ATK%, Disk 6 — ATK% as main stats, and prioritise CRIT Rate (Until 75% in stat screen) and CRIT DMG = ATK% on substats.

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

The best Evelyn team (Norma + Astra Yao) pairs Evelyn with Norma, Astra Yao. SD Rank 16 — App. rate 3.17% | Avg. time 29,892
