My Jane Doe Experience: The Best Physical Anomaly Build in ZZZ

I still remember the first time I saw Jane Doe in action. It was during the limited banner of version 1.1 in Zenless Zone Zero, and I was looking for a physical anomaly agent who could keep up with my aggressive, fast-paced playstyle. Then Jane appeared, dashing around the battlefield like a phantom, and I knew I had to have her. Have you ever felt that instant connection with a character? That was Jane for me.

Jane is an S-rank Anomaly Agent who deals Physical anomaly damage. She is incredibly fast, similar to Nekomata, but with a wider attack range that gives her crowd control capabilities. Her high assault damage multipliers, thanks to her passives Insight and Passion, make her an excellent physical damage dealer. What sets her apart is not just her mobility, but her ability to debuff enemies with Insight, boosting crit rate and crit damage for her and any assault units on her team. Her second passive, Passion, enhances her physical anomaly buildup and attack, turning her into both a utility agent and a solo damage carry.

Why is Jane so special? Because she can nuke enemies with heavy damage while also supporting her team. Let me walk you through the best builds for her, based on my own testing and the meta as of version 1.1. Even in 2026, these fundamentals remain solid.

W-Engines: The Core of Jane's Power

When it comes to W-Engines, Jane has some amazing options. Her signature, Sharpened Stinger, is without a doubt her best in slot. It gives her Predatory Instinct stacks on dash attacks, increasing Physical DMG by up to 24% per stack, and at max stacks, boosts Anomaly Buildup Rate by up to 80%. Perfect dodges instantly grant 3 stacks, syncing perfectly with her kit. I remember the first time I equipped it—the difference was night and day.

If you don't have her signature, Fusion Compiler is a great second option. It increases ATK and Anomaly Proficiency when using Special Attacks, which Jane can spam easily. Electro-Lip Gloss is another solid choice, boosting ATK and DMG against enemies with Attribute Anomaly. Rainforest Gourmet works well for burst DPS, increasing ATK based on Energy consumed. And for free-to-play players, Weeping Gemini is a fantastic A-rank option that stacks Anomaly Proficiency when squad members inflict anomalies.

Here's a quick comparison:

W-Engine	Rarity	Key Effect
Sharpened Stinger	S	Best in slot, huge Physical DMG and Anomaly Buildup
Fusion Compiler	S	ATK + Anomaly Proficiency stacking
Electro-Lip Gloss	S	ATK + DMG bonus against anomaly-afflicted enemies
Rainforest Gourmet	A	ATK stacking on Energy consumption
Weeping Gemini	A	Anomaly Proficiency stacking on anomaly triggers

Disc Drives: Maximizing Assault Damage

For Disc Drives, I recommend two main builds. The first is 4-piece Fanged Metal and 2-piece Freedom Blues. Fanged Metal increases Physical DMG by 10% and gives 35% increased damage to targets after an Assault. Freedom Blues adds 30 Anomaly Proficiency. This build maximizes Jane's raw physical damage and Assault rate. Main stats: IV Anomaly Proficiency, V Physical Damage, VI Anomaly Mastery or Attack. Sub-stats priority: Anomaly Proficiency > ATK% > Pen (if using Pen Ratio) > Crit DMG.

The second build is 4-piece Freedom Blues and 2-piece Fanged Metal. This is better for mixed anomaly teams to trigger Disorder more easily. Freedom Blues reduces the target's Anomaly Buildup RES by 20% after an EX Special Attack. Pair Jane with another strong anomaly unit like Grace for maximum effect. Main and sub-stats remain the same.

Why focus on Anomaly Proficiency? Because Jane's damage comes from triggering Assault, and her passives already provide plenty of Crit Rate and Crit Damage. This makes her very beginner-friendly to build.

Skill Priority: What to Level First

Always prioritize her Core Skill first! Here's the order I follow:

1. Dodge and Basic Attack: Jane relies on dash attacks and perfect dodges to gain Passion, so these are used the most. Level them equally.

2. Special Attack: Increases damage and daze, your main source of damage after basics.

3. Ultimate: Decent damage but used less often, so lower priority.

4. Assist: Rarely used in combat, bottom priority.

Bangboo: Choosing Your Companion

For Bangboo, Officer Cui is excellent if you have two or more Criminal Investigation Special Response Team characters (like Seth, Anby, or Qingyi). It deals extra physical damage and boosts chain attack damage. Plugboo and Electroboo are great for electric-centric teams, increasing Anomaly Buildup for Shock.

Team Compositions: Synergy is Key

Jane is versatile and fits into many teams. My favorite is the Stun and Electric N.E.P.S team: Jane, Qingyi, and Seth. This ensures everyone's additional ability is active, and Jane gets a 15% Anomaly Buildup Rate increase, plus another 15% against already-anomalied enemies. Seth is invaluable for Jane, increasing anomaly damage and decreasing enemy anomaly resistance. You can swap Qingyi with Anby, but Seth is a must.

Another great team is the mixed Anomaly team: Jane, Grace, and Seth. This triggers Disorder damage frequently. You can swap Grace with another non-physical anomaly unit, and Seth with a support like Rina.

Final Thoughts: The Assault Queen

Jane Doe is the Assault Queen, surpassing even Nekomata in assault damage output thanks to her powerful passives. She is versatile, beginner-friendly, and a limited S-rank unit that I would definitely pull for. Even in 2026, with new agents and versions, Jane remains a powerful anomaly nuke unit with great longevity. Have you added her to your roster yet? If not, what are you waiting for? She's a game-changer.

Just like optimizing your Jane Doe build, being a smart gamer means finding the best value for your money.
