Build Summary
updated 2026-08-21Pyrois Build Summary — ZZZ S-Rank Ether Attack
The best Pyrois build in Zenless Zone Zero (Version 3.1) is Sol Exuvia with The Sky Ablaze 4-piece and Puffer Electro 2-piece, CRIT Rate% > CRIT DMG% / PEN Ratio% > Ether DMG% > ATK% / ATK% main stats. Prydwen's 19 Aug 2026 tier list ranks Pyrois T0.5.
The best W-Engine for Pyrois in Zenless Zone Zero is Sol Exuvia — Pyrois' free signature and the only pick worth considering: unconditional CRIT Rate plus a strong RES Ignore effect that is effectively always active. Refinements push it further, with R5 being the ceiling. If you don't have it, Cordis Germina is a solid alternative.
For Drive Discs, run 4-piece The Sky Ablaze with 2-piece Puffer Electro, using Disk 4 — CRIT Rate% > CRIT DMG%, Disk 5 — PEN Ratio% > Ether DMG% > ATK%, Disk 6 — ATK% as main stats, and prioritise CRIT RATE (until 100% in combat) and CRIT DMG on substats.
Level Chain Attack first, then Basic Attack, Special Attack, Assist, Dodge. The Mindscape Cinemas that matter most for Pyrois are C1 (Shadows of Twilight Past), C2 (Blazing Cavalry), C6 (Morning Star at Dawn).
The best Pyrois team (Dialyn + Sunna) pairs Pyrois with Dialyn, Sunna. Nicole and Sunna are Pyrois' ideal Supports since Nicole's Ether buffs are on par with or above the best alternatives, and Dialyn provides more Ultimates for their frequent, cheap Ultimate usage.
