Claret Best Build Guide: Kit, Materials, W-Engines & Team | ZZZ 3.2

Blonde twin-tails, crimson eyes like blazing flames, a sharp tongue that never misses a beat—yet her strength never falls short of her bite. Claret is finally ready to officially step onto the battlefields of New Eridu.

She is the very first character of ZZZ brand-new speciality—Armorer—which means she doesn't just forge metal; she'll forge it straight through every enemy standing in your way.

This build guide is your pre-battle handbook, tailor-made for you—the future top-tier Claret player.

 

Claret Overview

Rarity: S-Rank | Attribute: Electric | Specialty: Armorer

Claret is the kind of character who gets stronger the tankier she is—her damage scales entirely off DEF, and any crit rate over 100% gets converted into extra damage rolls, so nothing goes to waste. She feels rock-solid to play, with built-in interrupt resistance and invincibility frames that keep her from getting knocked around or taken down easily. Plus, if you run her with Stun-type or same-class teammates, they can help stack buffs and share bonuses with each other. In short, once you get her rotation down, she's a bulldozer that just won't stop—tough as nails and hits like a freight train.
