Nekomata, a member of the Cunning Hares Faction, is a Physical S-rank character in Zenless Zone Zero who resembles a humanoid cat. She excels in dealing heavy physical damage and is relatively simple to construct.
To obtain her from the Star-Studded Cast Banner, you must fail to obtain an event character after 50/50 attempts. Alternatively, you can secure her by pulling 300 times on the permanent banner.
What is the Best Build for Nekomata in Zenless Zone Zero?
To successfully construct Nekomata, players must obtain a suitable W-Engine that complements her skills, as well as a combination of a 4-pc and 2-pc Drive Disc set with preferred stats such as CRIT and ATK%.
- Best W-Engine- Steel Cushion
- Best Drive Discs- 4-pc Woodpecker Electro and 2-pc Fanged Metal
- Best Teammates- Nicole and Piper
2. Recommended W-Engines for Nekomata
Nekomata’s signature weapon, Steel Cushion, is the best W-Engine for her. Due to her heavy reliance on dealing physical damage, the Steel Cushion provides a 20% increase in Physical DMG. Furthermore, her DMG is boosted by 25% when attacking enemies from behind, which is her preferred tactic when utilizing charged attacks.
Additional W-Engines available for use include:
- The Brimstone (S-rank)
- Starlight Engine (A-rank)
- Street Superstar (A-rank)
- Cannon Rotor (A-rank)
3. Best Drive Discs
The 4-piece Woodpecker Electro set is highly recommended for Nekomata, as it effectively enhances her CRIT Rate and ATK whenever she lands a critical hit with her Basic Attacks, Dodge Counters, or EX Special Attacks. This bonus complements her kit perfectly. Additionally, incorporating the 2-piece Fanged Metal set is also beneficial, as it adds extra Physical DMG to her attacks.
To increase damage dealt while inflicting Daze, equip her with the corresponding main stat in the designated slot.
- Crit Rate or Crit DMG- 4th slot
- Physical DMG or ATK%- 5th slot
- Energy Regen or ATK%- 6th slot
4. Recommended Teammates for Nekomata
Nicole (Support) and Piper (Support) are Nekomata’s strongest allies due to their excellent teamwork and synergy.
Piper’s presence on the team can enhance Nekomata’s Physical DMG output. Her swift Assault move can activate Nekomata’s additional Core Passive ability, which boosts the damage of her next EX Special Attack and can stack up to two times. Nicole is a multi-talented support character, able to provide the Cunning Hares Faction buff, lower enemy DEF, and group them together. Additionally, Rina, Anby, and Lucy are strong options as well.
