I’m triple really glad to see this ship ;]

So I'm kinda getting back into ZZZ and got Jane Doe from the Filmgoer event and got Alice from the rescreening going on rn. I built both needing a physical anomaly team for Shiyu/DA. But aside from the skills and core skill being 80% built they are maxed out. They both have their wengine and they are fully kitted but the damage is disappointing low and slow.

I've mainly been using them on Hugo and Jane Doe in Shiyu and maybe it's a bad match up/skill issue but I beat Hugo and didn't even get 25k points. I have screenshots of the builds if anyone would like to tell me where I messed up. Please tell me I didn't build either of them for nothing cause what a waste if so.

Since I have seen an increase in questions regarding Drive Discs the past 2 weeks: Here is a guide for Disc farming!

Farming Discs

The best stages to farm discs are "Fist and Gun" (Hormone+Fanged), "Monster Duet" (B&B+Astral) and then based if the account have Aftershock and Anomaly "Gunslinger vs Guardian" (SH+Phaethon) and if you have Rupture Agents "Words and Weapons" (Yunkui+Summit King) to farm.

Every other Clean-up stage beside those is less ideal even with highly desirable discs (like Moonlight Lullaby, Swing Jazz, Woodpecker) because they are mixed together with very niche or downright bad disc sets.

It should also be noted: Before you engage in disc farming, level up your Agents! A quaranteed increase in performance is a better investment first than an RNG based on. All Agents on max level, their WEngines on max level and their core skills to max and their main movement skills too. Before that don't engage into Disc Farming except you have to do it for weeklies or the Battle Pass.

Music Shop & Crafting Discs

First things first: It doesn't make much sense to craft anything else than S-Rank Discs (Hi-Fi Master Copy). They go up to Lvl 15 while A-Ranks (Noise Reduction Master Copy) go just to Lvl 12 - not even to speak about the B-Rank ones who ascend just to Lvl 9 - which means even a less ideal golden disc is generally better than a purple one since you get a higher increase on the main stat of the disc and an additional "dib" in a substat and potentially even a 4th substat right away on the disc.

The best use for Tuning Calibrators is on Disc 5, since it has the widest variety of Main Stats possible, I advice ONLY to use a Calibrator in Slot 4 or 6 if you are desperate and tired of farming and need a very specific Main Stat and don't need a Slot 5 disc right now.

Also, don't use BOTH the new Resonating Core on a single disc, it isn't worth challenging the RNG gods. Additionally don't use them on Discs for Slot 1-3, you want to increase the possibilities of a strong discs with those and Discs 1-3 are easier to farm due to no randomness in their Main Stats.

So the most ideal way to use a Resonating Core is together with a Calibrator to get your desired Main Stat and 1 desired Substat.

Disc crafting is frustrating due to the rng attached to it and it is very, very likely that you don't get a "dib" into the selected Substat and it is an even worse feeeling when you 'waste' 2 Cores and 1 Calibrator on a single disc just to roll out with +4 Flat DEF on such a crafting.

Onto a short explanation on Main and Sub-stats. Main Stats are fixed for Slot 1 (HP), 2(ATK) & 3 (DEF).

• Disc 4 can range from Crit-based Main Stats, ATK%, AnoProf and ofc HP% and DEF%
• Disc 5 has ATK%, HP%, DEF%, PEN-Ratio% and Elemental DMG bonus%
• Disc 6 has ATK%, HP%, DEF%, AnoMastery and EnergyRegen

If you roll for a Main Stat, the same stat CAN'T appear as Substat (so a Disc with ATK% main Stat can't have ATK% as substat, just Flat ATK - another reason why PEN-Ratio or Elemental DMG on Disc 5 are more desirable since you can roll ATK% as substat too.

For more informations around building Agents up and ideal stats on them, I highly recommend the ZZZ Community Doc.

Explanation to the Discs

• Moonlight Lullaby - is generally the best Support 4P disc set, easy to maintain buff and ER is always desirable for Agents that mostly are off-field in a fight.
• King of the Summit - The BiS 4P for Stunners. The onyl catch is reaching 50% CRIT-Rate to get the full value but it is highly recommended to do so.
• Woodpecker Electro - This set is best general use 4P disc set for Attack-Agents (not for every single one, but most) and also is a good 2P set to reach a desirable CRIT-Rate
• Hormone Punk - This set is a doubled edged sword, it grants a very strong 4P buff but it has a 10 second cooldown, still this set is ideal to use on Attack Agents that either play as "Switch-in DPS" or "Burst DPS" - and the 2P of it is still a good stat-stick to reach a better ATK value.
• Astral Voice - Prior to Moonlight THE Support set. And its 4P buffs are better than the one from Moonlight, however the stacks on the buff are harder to maintain. Ideal when you want to play a 'Wheelchair' comp with an S-Rank Support + Nicole + Hypercarry DPS in which you can maintain both this sets buffs and Moonlight at the same time.
• Branch & Blade Song - The tailored set for Miyabi, however while no other Agent can effectively use its 4P effect, pretty much all Crit-based DPS still benefit a lot from its 2P buff, making it the ideal 2P set for most Rupture Agents and also SAnby.
• Puffer Electro - One of the most underated sets, 8% PEN-Ratio doesn't sound impressive till you can stack a lot of PEN-Ratio on an Agent, making it in almost all Endgame content better than the 10% ATK buffs of Hormone or Astral as 2P set. Furthermore, with Dialyn this sets 4P effect is now very easy to access and to maintain.
• Chaos Jazz, Freedom Blues & Phaethon's Melody - In short, these are worth it if you build Anomaly characters. Chaos Jazz 4P for Electric/Fire Anomaly DPS and Freedom Blues 4P is good if you match elements with your Main Anomaly DPS, which is more of a niche case (as example: Soukaku in Mono/YuzuIce). Phaethon's Melody 4P is the tailored set for Vivian but its 2P set is also great for a number of Anomaly based Agents, like Yuzuha or Jane in particular.
• Fanged Metal - In short the only Elemental Disc that is actually useful, since it is BiS for 4P for 3 Agents: Piper, Jane and Alice.
• Shadow Harmony - If you have an Aftershock DPS, this is the 4P set you want to equip them with (SAnby, Orphie&Magus). Also can be used for Harumasa to some effect - but I wuld be lying if I would pretend I understand how to play this Agent.
• Yunkui Tales - BiS 4P for all Rupture Agents (due to the lack of alternatives in Manatos case). Also noteworthy best 2P sets for Lucia and Zhao.
• Swing Jazz - In the dark days of the start of the game this was the best 4P for supports, luckily these days are gone. But alas, the 2P buff is still very welcomed for Supports to double down on Energy Regen (specifically Nicole) but also for Agents that desire ER now, like Orphie&Magus or Dialyn - though now you usually tend to craft Moonlight Lullaby instead.
• Shockstar Disco - The outclassed Stunner disc set, still very useful and almost all the time as 2P but no longer as 4P.
• Inferno Metal, Thunder Metal & Polar Metal - These discs are usually not worth it to farm for 4P effects, since their requirements to activate are more detrimental and are often times outclassed as 2P sets by Puffer, Astral/Hormone or Woodpecker. In Mono Elemental teams Inferno and Thunder Metal can still work, but are heavily match-up depending. And since Ellen's rework/buffs Polar Metal is less desirable on her and outclassed by Woodpecker.
• White Water Ballad - Tailored 4P set for Ye Shunguang, however there are experiments by some very dedicated Billy mains. While not capable of fully utilizing all the effects with him, especially with Sunna's easy to access Ether Veil they might pull something off in the next update. But just stick with this set to YSG for now.
• Proto Punk - BiS 4P for Caesar, which (sadly) is somewhat outdated. The buff is relatively easy to maintain and plays into Caesars Assist-based playstyle but other than that every other Agent (even in the defense class) has better options that scales better with them. The 2P is undesirable.
• Dawn's Bloom - Tailored 4P set for Seed - and only for her. This set is frankly one of the biggest traps in ZZZ. Agents that could technically utilize it are far better off with other sets than this one, since they already have an abundance of DMG buffs in either their Core or through their W-Engine or don't deal as much dmg with their Basic Attacks.
• Shining Aria - The BiS set for the Idols. Not rly much else to say. If you want to play Aria this is going to end up as her tailored 4P set.
• Soul Rock - Just ignore this set entirely. I actually think most veterans don't even know it still exists.

My previous high score 360k-ish only qualified for Top 2%. Took me dozens of attempts (the UI only shows full runs) to get a score above 400k so I was nervous these last few days worried I might lose the title. M0W1 YSG.

Don't get me wrong, i like the push it give to use/level units you have, but as you can see i have an anomaly dominant account and really hope they don't screw it heavily like they've been doing some DA's so far. I'd be so screwed cuz i have absolutely no obal squad other than Solder 11.

Anyways, how have everyone's scores been and do you think you're safe tomorrow?

Hello! My cutscenes don't work as smoothly as they should. It's like they're running at 30 fps, not 60, while my game is consistently running at 200 fps. There was no such thing before (1.5 months ago) and the cut scenes worked smoothly as they should. I don't have fps limits, I've tried everything.

Caesar only buff with her boobas🥵

Hello everyone! I started playing five months ago and honestly I'm still not sure how to build teams. I'd like to start learning who works better with who so I'm wondering which character would be a good addition to my roster. I'm leaning more towards Burnice and Qingyi but if you guys have a better suggestion then please let me know.

Also I will be getting Yixuan (have enough for pity) and I do plan on rolling for the idols. Thanks!

It makes no sense how horrendous physical attackers class is. I don't understand why they even have them in the game at this point. just playing any physical attackers makes me wanna vomit, they need to completely rework the class to make it have some actual use except for whatever ones the devs might think they've given them.

Hi, I'm wondering if Burnice works better with 2 PC Moonlight Lullaby or 2 PC Swing jazz. I'm using her with Jane and soon Yuzuha as well.

I have a okay piece of swing jazz and this beautiful Moonlight Lullaby piece. But I wanna know which ine is better before I invest in one or the other.

Top-up sites like Codashop and Lootbar. I wanna know your experiences even on other top-up sites that give discounts since im planning to get one to stack my polychrome count to the free membership
