Best Agents & Stats for ZZZ 2.2 New Drive Discs

Version 2.2 of Zenless Zone Zero just dropped two game-changing Drive Discs—Dawn’s Bloom and Moonlight Lullaby! These shiny new sets aren’t just stat sticks; they’re tailor-made to supercharge your favorite characters. Want to know who gets the biggest boosts? Let’s dive into the agents that turn these discs from upgrades into absolute power plays.

 

Introduction to the New Drive Discs

Version 2.2 of Zenless Zone Zero introduces two new Drive Disc sets that are already shaping discussions around team building: Dawn’s Bloom and Moonlight Lullaby. Both are straightforward in concept but offer powerful effects that neatly reinforce the strengths of either damage dealers or support characters.

Dawn's Bloom	2-Piece Set: Increases Basic Attack DMG by 15%.
	4-Piece Set: Increases Basic Attack DMG by 20%. When equipped by an Attack character, using an EX Special Attack or Ultimate will further increase Basic Attack DMG by 20% for 25s. Repeated triggers reset the duration.

Dawn’s Bloom is squarely aimed at Attack-class agents whose game plan relies heavily on chaining Basic Attacks.

 

Moonlight Lullaby	2-Piece Set: Energy Regen +20%
	4-Piece Set: When the equipper is an Support character and uses an EX Special Attack or Ultimate, the DMG dealt by all squad members increases by 18% for 25s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.

By contrast, Moonlight Lullaby focuses on support roles. The design philosophy here is clear: extend uptime, simplify activation, and let supports focus on enabling.

 

Early Evaluation and Agent Recommendations

Dawn’s Bloom Evaluation

The initial verdict on Dawn’s Bloom is simple: it is best-in-slot for characters who live and die by their Basic Attacks. Many Attack-class agents naturally follow rotations that weave long basic strings after an EX or Ultimate, and Dawn’s Bloom rewards that exact rhythm. The flat damage boosts ensure steady gains, while the 25-second conditional buff lines up perfectly with the pacing of most carries. Compared to more specialized sets that target elemental damage, Dawn’s Bloom is flexible, easy to trigger, and universally useful for Basic-centric damage dealers.

 

Best Agent for Dawn’s Bloom

Ellen	Zhu Yuan	Soldier 11
Billy	Nekomata	Seed

The clearest beneficiaries include Ellen, Zhu Yuan, Soldier 11, Billy, and Nekomata, all of whom scale well with enhanced Basic strings.

Seed, a new character in 2.2, also benefits immensely because her kit naturally funnels damage into Basic Attacks once her EX has been used. After consuming Energy for her EX Special, Seed’s empowered Basic chains become her main source of DPS, making Dawn’s Bloom a natural fit that amplifies both her sustained loop and her peak moments.

For these agents, Dawn’s Bloom provides both consistency and peak damage windows without demanding elaborate setups or specific team buffs.

Moonlight Lullaby Evaluation

Moonlight Lullaby, meanwhile, is shaping up to be a universal staple for support characters. It competes directly with existing favorites like Astral Voice, but its combination of 18% team damage boost and 25-second duration often proves superior in practice.

 

Best Agent for Moonlight Lullaby

Nicole	Soukaku	Astra Yao
Yuzuha	Lucy	Rina

Supports such as Nicole, Soukaku, Astra Yao, Yuzuha, Lucy, and Rina are prime candidates. Nicole’s crowd control and debuff cycle become more frequent thanks to the Energy Regeneration. Soukaku, who shares her ATK stat with the team, benefits both from the regen and the team-wide buff. Rina, who provides PEN Ratio to allies, also thrives under Moonlight because it lets her chain Ultimates more often.

Astra Yao deserves special mention. Her own signature disc set, Astral Voice, synergizes with quick assists, but Moonlight Lullaby has an easier trigger condition—EX Special Attacks and Ultimates. Astra Yao’s Tremolo follow-ups are treated as EX Special Attacks — they occur both when she uses her Special and when Quick Assists or other assist triggers consume her Energy to release a Tremolo.

With sufficient Energy Regen and an assist-friendly rotation, Yao can therefore trigger Moonlight Lullaby’s 25-second aura regularly. This makes Moonlight a valid and often optimal alternative when a squad already has another Support running Astral Voice, or when the goal is to maximize uptime with minimal complexity.

 

Optimizing Drive Disc Slots IV, V, and VI

Securing the right set is only half the equation; farming the correct main stats on slots IV, V, and VI is equally important. Each slot draws from a different pool of possible main stats.

• Slot IV can roll CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, ATK%, HP%, DEF%, or Anomaly Proficiency.
• Slot V offers Attribute Damage%, ATK%, HP%, DEF%, or PEN.
• Slot VI includes ATK%, HP%, DEF%, Impact%, Energy Regen%, or Anomaly Mastery. Understanding these pools is essential for pushing characters to their limits.

For Dawn’s Bloom users, the standard DPS path applies.

• On Slot IV, aim for CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG, balancing toward the usual one-to-two ratio; ATK% is acceptable if crit rolls are unavailable.
• Slot V should prioritize Attribute Damage% matching the character’s element—Ice for Ellen, Ether for Zhu Yuan, Physical for Nekomata and Billy, Fire for Soldier 11—or PEN if elemental rolls are scarce.
• Slot VI almost always favors ATK%, although Impact% can be situationally useful for stun-focused team comps.
• Substats should be weighted toward CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, ATK%, and PEN, in that order of importance.

For Moonlight Lullaby holders, the priorities shift from crit damage toward utility and uptime.

• Slot VI is the most crucial: Energy Regen% is the best choice, allowing supports to fire off EX and Ultimates as often as possible, thereby keeping the 25-second damage aura active.
• Slot V depends on the support’s role: Soukaku and Astra Yao, whose buffs scale with ATK, prefer ATK%, while Rina may favor PEN to improve her team’s penetration share.
• Slot IV can go into ATK% for scaling supports, or into Anomaly Proficiency for debuff-heavy supports like Nicole.
• Substats should lean toward Energy Regen, ATK%, and Anomaly Proficiency, with PEN as a secondary option for supports who benefit from shredding defenses.

By aligning slot rolls with each agent’s mechanics, players can ensure that these new Drive Discs reach their full potential. DPS characters maximize their damage consistency, while Supports amplify team performance through both faster ability cycling and stronger team buffs.

 

Conclusion

The arrival of Dawn’s Bloom and Moonlight Lullaby in version 2.2 has reshaped how players approach Drive Discs in Zenless Zone Zero. Bloom delivers consistent offensive power for Attack-class characters, while Lullaby provides Supports with one of the strongest team-wide buffs available. Together, they not only raise team synergy and rotation stability but also redefine what optimized builds can achieve moving forward.
