Vivian’s kit continues the off-field attack trend in ZZZ

Vivian is coming to Zenless Zone Zero as a playable character! See what we know about Vivian's kit, skills, Mindscape Cinema, and more here.

Vivian Banshee played quite a big role in Phaethon's Story that was added on ZZZ version 1.6. We learned about her, and she learned that her "Lord Phaethon" that she obsesses over were the humble Proxies that have been by her side for some time now.

As a playable Agent, she is an S-Rank Ether Anomaly character. This makes her the first character in this Archetype, regardless of rarity. Alongside Hugo Vlad, she is a member of the Mockingbird faction.

A lot of her kit, like the Chain Attack, Ultimate, EX Special Skill, and Assist Follow-Up, causes her to automatically enter the Fluttering Frock state. This automatic transition can be canceled by holding Dodge.

Check out the details of Vivian's kit below to see if she's worth your precious Polychromes!

Basic Attack: Feathered Strike

Repeatedly press Basic Attack to execute a 4-hit combo that deals Physical and Ether DMG. After the fourth hit, she enters the Noblewoman state.

With Flight Feathers, holding Attack during the fourth attack will cause her to enter the Fluttering Frock state instead.

Basic Attack: Noblewoman - Waltz

While in the Noblewoman state, press Basic Attack.

Dash and attack forwards, becoming invulnerable, dealing Ether DMG, and restoring 1 Flight Feather after hitting an enemy.

One extra Flight Feather is granted if the dash triggers a Perfect Dodge. Vivian will automatically enter the Fluttering Frock state if she has Flight Feathers. You can cancel this by holding Dodge.

Basic Attack: Fluttering Frock - Suspension

While in the Fluttering Frock state, press Basic Attack to attack in front, becoming invulnerable and dealing Ether DMG.

This consumes all Flight Feathers and turns them into Guard Feathers.

This attack is automatically performed when switching off Vivian while she is in the Fluttering Frock state.

Pressing Dodge will cause her to exit Fluttering Frock.

Basic Attack: Featherbloom

When a character in the squad hits an enemy with an EX Special Attack, one Guard Feather will be consumed to deal Ether DMG, even if Vivian is off-field.

Up to five Guard Feathers can be held at a time.

Dodge: Lifestream

The usual dash dodge.

Dash Attack: Silver Thorned Melody

Deals Physical DMG.

Dodge Counter: Wingblade Reverb

Deals Physical and Ether DMG, then enter the Noblewoman state. With Flight Feathers, holding Attack during this will cause her to enter Fluttering Frock instead.

Dodge: Dainty Steps

This is an automatic dodge while in the Noblewoman state. This is not considered a Perfect Dodge and can trigger once each time she enters the Noblewoman state.

Quick Assist: Frostwing Guard

Attack enemies in front, dealing Physical and Ether DMG.

She will enter the Noblewoman state afterwards. Holding Attack will cause her to enter Fluttering Frock if there are Flight Feathers.

Defensive Assist: Silver Umbrella Formation

Assist Follow-Up: Featherblalde Execution

Special Attack: Song of Silver Wings

Core Passive: Dirge of Destiny

Basic Attack: Featherbloom triggers Abloom on enemies under an Attribute Anomaly. Abloom DMG scales with the Anomaly Proficiency of the original Anomaly DMG and the element. Here are the elements in order of their multiplier for Abloom DMG, from greatest to least

Basic Attack: Fluttering Frock - Suspension or Basic Attack: Featherbloom hitting an enemy under Anomaly will inflict Vivian's Prophecy instead. This deals additional Ether DMG, scaling with Vivian's ATK, and can trigger additional DMG from Attribute Anomalies.

Vivian gains 2 Flight Feathers at the start of combat.

Additional Ability: Prophetic Tears
