Best Seed Weapons (W-Engines) In ZZZ - Zenless Zone Zero

As a traditional Attack unit that depends on ATK, Electric DMG, and Crit value to deal DMG, Seed can find value in most Attack W-Engines in ZZZ. Here are the best weapons for Seed in Zenless Zone Zero.

Seed’s Weapon

Why It's Good

Cordis Germina

Cordis Germina is Seed’s best W-Engine in ZZZ. Not surprising, as Cordis Germina is Seed’s signature weapon. The W-Engine grants Seed a decent amount of Electric DMG on top of greatly buffing her Ultimate and Basic ATK DMG, which is where most of her DMG comes from. Players can opt for PEN Ratio or ATK on 5-slot while using this weapon, as it gives a lot of bonuses already.

Heartstring Nocturne

Heartstring Nocturne is an S-rank W-Engine that gives Seed access to a lot of Crit value. While she doesn’t get anything besides that, it’s still good to have around 50% Crit DMG and 24% Crit Rate.

The Brimstone

The Brimstone offers a lot of extra ATK% for Seed. Other than the ATK% Sub-stat, Seed constantly gets ATK% as she keeps hitting enemies.

Myriad Eclipse

Same as Heartstring Nocturne, Seed gets a lot of Crit value when using Myriad Eclipse. It grants her around 45% Crit DMG and 24% Crit Rate.

Zanshin Herb Case

While Zanshin Herb Case buffs Electric DMG, it only buffs the Dash Attacks, which is not something Seed relies on. For that, it’s still a good choice because of the extra Crit value, but not as good as the other W-Engines for Seed in Zenless Zone Zero.

Drill Rig - Red Axis

Drill Rig buffs Seed’s Basic ATK Electric DMG, which is what she deals most of her DMG from. It’s a good W-Engine for an A-Rank in ZZZ, especially on W5.

Best Seed Drive Discs In ZZZ - Zenless Zone Zero

Seed gets a lot of benefits from having extra ATK% and Crit. However, she mostly deals DMG through her Basic ATK and Ultimate. For that, she needs a Drive Discs set that buffs these Skills. Preferably, her Basic ATK DMG, since she can abuse that Skill while she builds her Ultimate. Here’s the best Drive Discs for Seed in ZZZ.

Drive Disc Sets

Why It's Good

  • 4pc Dawn's Bloom
  • 2pc Woodpecker Electro or Branch & Blade Song

It’s not surprising that Dawn's Bloom is a perfect match with Seed’s gameplay since it’s made for her. The set’s passives increase Seed’s Basic ATK DMG by up to 55%, which is insane for her.

As for the rest of Seed’s build, go for more Crit Value by using either Woodpecker Electro or Branch & Blade Song.
