Claret Best Team Comp In ZZZ (3.2)

Claret has finally arrived in Zenless Zone Zero with the Version 3.2 update, and she brings a fresh dynamic to team building as the first Armorer character. Her kit revolves around Laceration DMG and DEF-scaling, which means the usual ATK-buffing supports won't cut it. If you're looking to maximize her potential, you'll need to rethink your usual team compositions.

This guide breaks down the best team comps for Claret, from premium setups to budget-friendly alternatives. We'll also explain why certain Stun and Support agents synergize with her unique mechanics, so you can make an informed decision before investing resources.

Claret Team Comp At a Glance

• Best Team: Claret + Norma + Rina
• F2P Team: Claret + Koleda + Rina (or Nicole)
• Alternate Team: Claret + Trigger + Rina
• Key Requirement: A Stun or Armorer Agent to activate Claret's Additional Ability
• Support Options: Limited to Rina and Nicole due to DEF/PEN scaling

Why Claret Needs Specific Teammates

Claret's Additional Ability only triggers when paired with a Stun or Armorer Agent. Since she's the only Armorer in the game as of Version 3.2, your only practical option is to bring a Stun character. This naturally pushes her into a Stun + Support composition.

However, not every Stun agent works perfectly. Some Stun characters lose their own Additional Ability when paired with Claret, so you need to choose carefully. Similarly, most Support agents focus on buffing ATK, Anomaly, or HP—stats that don't directly benefit Claret's DEF-scaling kit. That leaves Rina and Nicole as the only viable Support options.

Claret + Norma + Rina (Premium)

This is the best team comp for Claret in ZZZ. Norma excels at stunning enemies with minimal field time, allowing Claret to stay on the battlefield and deal consistent damage. Rina provides a PEN Ratio buff, which synergizes perfectly with Claret's DEF-scaling attacks.

One important note: Rina's buff duration is quite short at M0. If you have her at M1 or higher, this team becomes significantly stronger. If you're missing either character, check out our Norma Best Build and Team guide for alternatives.

Claret + Koleda + Rina (F2P)

If you don't have Norma, Koleda is a solid F2P alternative. She received a Potential Vision buff that enhances Laceration DMG, making her an excellent partner for Claret. Koleda can also stun enemies quickly, keeping the rotation smooth.

For the Support slot, if you're missing Rina, Nicole is another F2P-friendly option. Nicole's DEF-shred ability is top-tier, but it only lasts for a few seconds. You'll need to practice your rotation to ensure Claret capitalizes on the debuff window. If you don't have any Stun agent at all, you could run Claret + Nicole + Rina, but Claret would lose her Additional Ability—so it's not recommended.

Claret + Trigger + Rina (Alternate)

Trigger is an excellent off-field Stun agent for Claret. She requires minimal field time, which means Claret can dominate the battlefield. If you have Trigger's signature W-Engine, she can also debuff the boss's DEF, further boosting Claret's damage output.

This team is particularly useful in content where you need to switch characters frequently, as Trigger's off-field presence keeps the pressure on enemies without disrupting Claret's flow.

Team Rotation Tips

• Norma/Koleda/Trigger: Use their EX Special or Chain Attack to build stun quickly.
• Rina: Activate her buff before switching to Claret.
• Claret: Once the enemy is stunned, unleash her full combo to maximize Laceration DMG.
• Nicole (if used): Apply her DEF-shred right before Claret's burst window.

Final Thoughts

Claret's team-building is more restrictive than most characters, but the right setup can make her a devastating force. Whether you're going for the premium Norma team or the budget-friendly Koleda option, the key is to ensure her Additional Ability is active and that your Support provides the right buffs.
