Master Velina’s optimal build in Zenless Zone Zero with the best W-Engines, Drive Discs, and stats to maximize her Wind and Anomaly damage.

As a Wind Anomaly sub-DPS/support, her damage scales heavily with Energy Regen and Anomaly Proficiency. In this guide, we break down the best build for Velina in ZZZ, covering W-Engines, Drive Discs, and stat priorities.

Best W-Engines For Velina
Joyau Dore (Signature)
Joyau Dore is Velina’s best-in-slot and the only W-Engine that fully synergizes with her kit. Its Energy Regen substat is critical because her Core Passive converts Energy Regen into increased Windswept and Vortex damage and teamwide Anomaly Proficiency. Without this substat, you lose a huge portion of her potential. The passive also boosts the entire party’s Anomaly Proficiency, making it ideal for teams that rely on elemental reactions like Contamination and Vortex.
Energy Regen Alternatives
If you skip the signature W-Engine, any Anomaly W-Engine becomes a downgrade because none provide Energy Regen. Your best bet is to equip a generic Energy Regen W-Engine, such as Metanukimorphosis, Serpentine Seeker, or Thoughtbop. While their passive effects will not activate, the substat alone is enough to unlock her Core Passive’s benefits. This is a solid F2P-friendly fallback.
Best Drive Discs For Velina
Wuthering Salon (4pc)
The 2pc bonus gives 10% Wind DMG, which directly boosts her Anomaly damage. The 4pc effect increases her Anomaly DMG further, complementing her role as a high-damage off-field carry. Velina can dish out serious DPS despite being a sub-DPS, so this set maximizes her contribution.
Swing Jazz (2pc)
Because Energy Regen is paramount, the 2pc Swing Jazz set provides a 20% Energy Regen increase. This is one of the few external sources of Energy Regen for her, making it essentially mandatory.
Drive Disc Stats
| Slot | Main Stat |
|---|---|
| Disc 4 | Anomaly Proficiency |
| Disc 5 | Wind DMG |
| Disc 6 | Energy Regen |
For substats, prioritize Anomaly Proficiency, then ATK%, and finally PEN. Avoid flat stats.

Should You Build Velina?
If you already have her signature W-Engine (or are willing to use an off-type Energy Regen one), Velina is a top-tier off-field Anomaly character. She excels in teams that trigger multiple elemental reactions, and her damage output rivals many main DPS units. F2P players can still make her work with the alternative Energy Regen W-Engines, though you lose some team utility. Overall, she is worth building if you need a flexible Wind sub-DPS.
Team Synergies (General Advice)
Pair Velina with other Anomaly agents to trigger Contamination and Vortex more frequently. Wind’s reaction with other elements creates powerful debuffs. For example, a team with Velina, Lucy (Fire), and Piper (Physical) can chain Anomaly effects effectively. Not stated in official materials.
Final Thoughts
Building Velina revolves around maximizing Energy Regen and Anomaly Proficiency. Her signature W-Engine is a huge power spike, but even F2P alternatives can make her effective. Focus on the Wuthering Salon and Swing Jazz sets, and you’ll have a strong off-field core for any Anomaly team.
