Lighter Build Guide for Zenless Zone Zero 1.7

Lighter is a 5-star Fire Stun unit who made his debut back in version 1.3 of Zenless Zone Zero. He is a strong unit who can not only stun his foes but also reduce their Ice and Fire resistance.

Stun units are an important part of Zenless Zone Zero meta; these units can create large damage windows for their team DPS, who can deal lethal damage to their foes.

Building Lighter can be quite challenging for the players, as his build needs high Crit stats, which are hard to farm. Let’s follow LDShop for a detailed Lighter build guide.

 

Best Lighter Builds

Lighter is a strong stun unit, but he is quite stat-dependent, so if the players are planning to use him on the end-game contents, the community will need a good W-Engine and Drive Disc set.

W-Engine Effect

W-Engine	Effect
Blazing Laurel	This is the best possible W-Engine for Lighter. This W-Engine applies a debuff, known as Wilt. Any foe that is hit by Lighter’s Basic ATK will get inflicted by this debuff. Apart from this, any ally who hits the foes who have been tagged by Lighter and have the Wilt de-buff their Crit DMG will be buffed. Not only that their Fire and Ice DMG will be enhanced by 1.5%.
Ice Jade Teapot	This is the second-best W-Engine option for Lighter. This W-Engine will increase his impact on the ground by 0.7%, and it can stack up to 30 times. When the stack is 15 or more, then all the squad members get a 20% ATK buff.
The Restrained	The Restrained can provide a 6% increment in DMG and Daze whenever Lighter can make contact with an enemy with basic ATK. This effect is stackable, up to 5 times. The uniqueness of this W-Engine is that Lighter’s personal DMG gets buffed, along with the ability to stun foes faster.

The only way to collect these premium W-Engine is to spend premium currency, but if the players are lacking in premium currency, they can always use Zenless Zone Zero top up to buy the required amount that is needed. The best platform to make the top-up is LDShop, it lets players top up for less and it is a great way to save money.

Best Drive Disc for Lighter

Drive Disc Set	Effect
Shockstar Disco	This set might be the best option for Lighter, as this set provides 20% more Daze when attacking foes with Basic ATK, Dash ATKs, and Dodge Counter.
Inferno Metals (2 Pc)	This set can provide a 10% Fire DMG.

Lighter Drive Disc Stat Priority

Disc Slot	Main Stat	Sub-Stat
1	HP	Crit Rate > Crit DMG > ATK
2	ATK	Crit Rate > Crit DMG
3	DEF	Crit Rate > Crit DMG
4	Crit Rate or Crit DMG	Crit Rate > Crit DMG > ATK
5	Fire DMG	Crit Rate > Crit DMG> ATK
6	Impact	Crit Rate > Crit DMG> ATK

Best Bangboo for Lighter

Just like W-Engine and Drive Disc, Bangboo is also an essential part of your squad. Here is the best option for Bagboo for a Lighter build:

Sumoboo	This Bangboo pairs best with Lighter as its Active Skill can inflict 18% more Daze on foes when there is at least one stun unit in your squad.
Red Moccus	This Bangboo can boost Skill DMG by 36% whenever there are two Sons of Calydon members in the same squad. This is why Lighter's best team is with Burnace.
Sharkboo	This is an ideal choice for Ice teams, and with two Ice characters, it will increase Anomaly build-up by 100%.

Lighter’s Skill set and priority

Lighter is a strong and versatile unit, which is why the community should know his skill set properly and how to use it.

His abilities are explained in the following part:

• His Core Skill is one of his main abilities; he gains Morale stacks over time.
• Once this stack reaches 80 and Lighter hits an enemy with his Basic ATK, he will enter the Morale Burst state. In this state, his punches, jab combos, and finishing moves all get enhanced.
• His Impact will also begin to increase by 1% once he enters the Morale Burst condition, and it can go up to 10%. In this state, enemies who are hit with a jab combo will have their Fire and Ice RES reduced by 15%.
• If Lighter is in his Morale Burst state, then all allies will gain a stack of Elation if there is an Attack unit or a unit that is a part of the Sons of Calydon faction. This effect is stackable up to 20 times, and during this, the Ice and Fire DMG of every agent on the field will be increased by 1.25% per stack.

Skill-set priority for Lighter

Skill set priority for Lighter Is as follows:

• Core Skill
• Special ATK
• Assist
• Ultimate

The rest of the skills can be levelled up as required.

Best Lighter teams in ZZZ

Lighter as a flexible unit, can be deployed in various compositions, but to get his maximum output, below mentioned teams will be the optimum option

Lighter+ Ellen+ Caesar

This comp makes use of Ellen’s DPS potential to its maximum, with Lighter’s stuns and buffs. While Caesar makes sure that her allies provide consistent performance on the field with her defensive and offensive support.

Lighter+ Soldier 11+ Lucy

This is a Mono-Fire comp, where Lighter’s Fire buffs and stun abilities are used to buff Soldier 11’s DMG output, while Lucy ensures constant ATK buffs, making this squad ideal for Fire weak foes.

Lighter+ Lucy+ Piper

This is an ideal F2P team option as Lucy and Piper both are A-Rank agents. This squad focuses on Burn and Disorder synergy with Lighter’s stuns and buffs, allowing Piper to deal massive DMG. This team may not be on par with premium teams, but this is a solid budget option for Fire-Weak enemies.

Conclusion

Building Lighter in ZZZ 1.7V is very effective, as he brings in a lot of support utility for his squad. With an optimum W-Engine and Drive Disc set, he can further boost the Fire and Ice damage of his allies.

Lighter is also an amazing Stun unit, and pairing him up on a double-stun unit will bring out amazing results for the squad’s DPS.
