Yidhari Build Guide: Skill Priority, W-Engines, Discs&Teams | Zenless Zone Zero

Hi! Proxies!

When it comes to building Yidhari, the Ice Rupture agent from the "Spook Shack," the key principle is never complicated but requires precise grasp—balancing "maximum damage output" and "survival stability."

This Yidhari build guide will go over all things, including Drive Discs, Skill Priority, W-Engines, Teams, and more. Let’s break down how to forge this sharp ice blade into an unshakable combat force.

Yidhari Overview

Rarity: S-Rank | Specialty: Rupture | Attribute: Ice

Yidhari is an S-rank agent specializing in Strike attacks, wielding a Rapture weapon and having Ice attributes. As an Ice - type combatant, she excels at freezing foes and leveraging their vulnerabilities to dominate battles. Yidhari's Skill kit combine swift and potent strikes with ice effects, making her a top pick for players seeking both high damage output and solid crowd control.

In terms of her capabilities, the lower her HP percentage, the greater the damage her skills inflict and the less damage she sustains. When her HP dips below 40%, this bonus hits its maximum, boosting her attack damage by up to 80% and cutting incoming damage by up to 25%.

When she's not in the forefront, if her HP falls under 30%, she gradually recovers HP. While she generates fewer Decibels through regular ways, she gains Decibels at a predetermined ratio when the squad's HP decreases. Whether it's breaking through defenses or halting enemies with ice attacks, Yidhari proves to be a mighty asset for any team.

 

 

Yidhari Skill Priority

Yidhari’s core role as a damage dealer dictates her skill upgrade priorities. Her Special Skill and Ultimate are top-tier: they unleash massive burst damage and key effects (like inflicting ice vulnerability or wide-area control), and upgrading them drastically ramps up their destructive potential. The Basic ATK is also high-priority, as its frequent use guarantees steady damage output even when other skills are on cooldown.

Skill	Priority
Special Skill	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Top)
Ultimate	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Top)
Basic ATK	⭐⭐⭐⭐ (High)
Assist	⭐⭐⭐ (Low)
Dodge	⭐⭐⭐ (Low)

 

Yidhari W-Engines

Signature W-Engine

Kraken's Cradle

Rarity: S-Rank | Base ATK: 713| HP: 30%

Why it suits Hidhari

It is highly suitable for Yidhari because it aligns flawlessly with her low-HP burst mechanism. When Yidhari's HP decreases, the ability boosts her Ice Sheer DMG by 6% per stack, with up to 3 stacks available, each lasting 25 seconds and having individually calculated durations (and the effect can trigger once every 0.5s). Moreover, when her HP drops to 50% of the maximum or lower, her CRIT Rate gets a 20% increase. This combination ensures that Yidhari can achieve both high damage output and stability during combat, especially when she operates in her low-HP, high-burst state.

 

Alternatives

Qingming Birdcage

Rarity: S-Rank | Base ATK: 743| HP: 30%

The Qingming Birdcage is an excellent W-Engine choice for Yidhari, perfectly complementing her HP-scaling, burst-oriented playstyle. The 20% CRIT Rate bonus directly boosts her overall consistency and damage output, especially given how Yidhari’s skills scale heavily with her Sheer Force and Ice Sheer multipliers. This high base CRIT synergy allows her to reach strong offensive thresholds without overinvesting in CRIT stats from other sources.

Qingming Companion stacks amplify Ether DMG and specifically enhance Ultimate and EX Special Attack Ether Sheer DMG — two of Yidhari’s strongest damage sources. Since she frequently triggers EX Special Attacks like Icy Mist and Lethal Follow-Up, maintaining full stacks is effortless, ensuring a constant damage boost throughout combat.

 

A-Rank Alternatives

 

Grill O'Wisp 

Rarity: A-Rank | Base ATK: 594| HP: 25%

This W-Engine is Manato's Signature W-Engine, Yidhari cannot buff by its Fire DMG bonus, but the 24% CRIT Rate bonus is useful while Yidhari is a HP-scaling DPS too. It requires resonable combat rotation, or the key skills cannot be buffed.

 

Radiowave Journey 

Rarity: A-Rank | Base ATK: 594| HP: 25%

It is ideal for Yidhari because her combat often involves using Chain Attacks and Ults. When she unleashes a Chain Attack or Ultimate, gaining stacks that boost her Sheer Force (up to 3 stacks, each increasing Sheer Force by 128 and lasting 12s with separate duration calculation for each stack) directly amplifies her capacity to deal piercing damage.

Since Yidhari relies on these high - impact moves to drive her damage output, this buff perfectly synergizes with her playstyle, ensuring her piercing damage potential is maximized during key offensive moments.

 

Puzzle Sphere

Rarity: A-Rank | Base ATK: 594| ATK: 25%

This is a perfect fit for Yidhari as her EX Special Attack is a crucial damage dealer, and the effect enhances its power in multiple ways. When she uses an EX Special Attack, the 25.6% CRIT DMG increase (lasting 12s) ramps up the critical strike damage she can deal.

Furthermore, the additional 32% EX Special Attack DMG boost when the target’s HP is below 50% capitalizes on Yidhari's ability to pressure foes and secure kills—it empowers her to deal even more devastating damage to weakened enemies, which aligns with her role in finishing off targets or dealing burst damage in mid - to - late combat scenarios.

Yidhari Drives Discs

Best Choice

4-pc

Yunkui Tales 2-pc:HP +10% 4-pc:When using EX Special Attack, Chain Attack, or Ultimate, CRIT Rate increases by 4%, stacking up to 3 times and lasting 15s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. When having 3 stacks of this effect, Sheer DMG increases by 10%.

2-pc

Woodpecker Electro 2-pc:CRIT Rate +8% 4-pc:Landing a critical hit on an enemy with a Basic Attack, Dodge Counter, or EX Special Attack increases the equipper's ATK by 9% for 6s. The buff duration for different skills are calculated separately.

Yunkui Tales

HP Increase: It provides an effect of +10% to the maximum HP. This offers a certain survival guarantee for Yidhari. Although she has a low - HP burst mechanism, a higher maximum HP allows her to deal with enemies' attacks more calmly in the early stage of the battle, preventing her from entering the low - HP state too early, so as to smoothly transition to the stage where she can exert her burst ability.Crit and Penetration DMG Bonus: It provides a crit rate bonus when releasing EX skills, combo skills, or finisher skills, and it can be stacked up to 3 layers. When reaching 3 layers, an additional 10% penetration damage is increased. As a damage - dealing character, Yidhari has a relatively high skill release frequency. The crit rate bonus triggered by skills can effectively increase her damage output. The additional penetration damage increase enables her to better break through the enemy's defense when facing enemies with defense mechanisms, causing higher actual damage, which meets her demand for high damage output.

 

Woodpecker Electro

2pc: +8% CRIT Rate boosts her chance of landing critical hits, enhancing overall damage, especially with her low - HP damage boost.

4pc: Landing a crit via Basic Attack, Dodge Counter, or EX Special Attack increases ATK by 9% for 6s. Her frequent attacks let her trigger this often, ensuring sustained high damage as a core dealer.

Yidhari Mindscape vs. Signature W-Engine

Mindscape Recommended

M1: The Past Lost Beneath the Abyss The Adrenaline cost to activate Yidhari's EX Special Attack is reduced by 10. After using EX Special Attack: Frost Coil or EX Special Attack: Glacial Crush, keeping hold of the Basic Attack or Special Attack button consumes 35 Adrenaline to forgo healing and immediately chain into another EX Special Attack: Glacial Crush. the HP restored by this EX Special Attack: Glacial Crush is increased by 100% of the original value. Yidhari's Basic Attacks and EX Special Attacks ignore 20% of the targets' Ice RES.

M2: Who Lingers Here, Lost In Thought? Yidhari's CRIT DMG increases by 40%. Triggering Surging Cold or Crushing Pursuit grants Adrenaline regen of 0.5/s for up to 30s. Repeated triggers reset the duration.

M4: Blooming In Silence Yidhari gains 10% more Decibels when losing HP for Core Passive: Dreamscape Collection. While in Ether Veil: Wellspring, Yidhari's Max HP is further increased by 5%.

M6: At Last, A Peaceful Dream After Yidhari spends Decibels to activate or extend Ether Veil: Wellspring, she gains Erudtion for 30s. While Erudition is active, her Sheer DMG increases by 25%. Also, upon taking fatal DMG for the first time, her HP is reduced to at most 1, and for the next 5s, she cannot be defeated and will restore 25% of HP over time.

Prioritize pulling for M1+S0！

This is because it fundamentally alters Yidhari's skill rotation and gameplay mechanics, providing consistent Ice RES Ignore benefits. This mechanical advantage is unique—without M1, Yidhari's combo fluidity and damage penetration capabilities would be significantly compromised.

Then consider "Kraken's Cradle" M1+S0

This S-rank weapon primarily offers substantial numerical boosts (CRIT Rate and Ice DMG). While extremely powerful, it functions more as an enhancement to an already solid foundation. If your resources are limited, ensure you first obtain the gameplay-changing M1 before pursuing this top-tier numerical weapon.

In simple terms, M1 determines Yidhari's "playstyle ceiling," while the weapon serves to "fill in the numerical values" on top of that foundation.

 

Conclusion

In summary, the core of Yidhari's development always revolves around balancing "maximizing damage output" and "survival stability". Prioritize stacking Critical Hit Rate and Critical Hit Damage to adapt to her low-HP burst mechanism, pair her with compatible sets like "Yun Gui Ru Wo" and "OXO" to boost the damage ceiling, and complement her with buffs and survival support from teammates such as Lucia and Yoshine. This will allow this Frost Strike agent to both withstand pressure and trigger full buffs on the battlefield, while unleashing devastating ice attribute damage.

Cultivate her steadily according to this approach, and she will surely become an irreplaceable core combat force in your team, shining brilliantly in various high-difficulty dungeons.
