Pulchra Build Guide: My Off-Field Physical Stun Setup in ZZZ

Hey, fellow Proxy! I've been messing around with Pulchra in Zenless Zone Zero, and I honestly didn't expect to enjoy her as much as I do. She's a Physical Stun Agent from the Sons of Calydon, and her whole gimmick is jumping in, setting up Hunter's Gait, and then letting her Aftershock attacks pile on Daze while you're busy doing something else. As of 2026, she still feels like a really comfortable off-field stun option, especially if you like teams that don't need to hog field time. Let me walk you through how I build her, who I pair her with, and how I actually play her without overcomplicating things.

My Quick Take on Pulchra

Pulchra isn't the kind of Agent who wants to sit on field and swing forever. She wants to enter Hunter's Gait, tag out, and let her Aftershock attacks do the dirty work. That means my build focuses on two things: Impact for more Daze, and a bit of CRIT Rate so her extra damage isn't completely negligible. I don't chase pure ATK here. If you're building her like a main DPS, you're probably going to be disappointed. Think of her as a stun enabler with a fun off-field follow-up gimmick.

Best Build for Pulchra

My go-to setup is pretty simple:

• Priority stats: Impact first, then CRIT Rate for a little extra damage.

• Role: Off-field Physical Stun.

• Playstyle: Enter Hunter's Gait, switch out, trigger Aftershocks with your active character's Special or EX Special Attack.

I like builds that lean into her job instead of trying to make her something she isn't. You'll get more value from consistent Daze than from chasing big yellow numbers.

Best Teams and Bangboo

This is where Pulchra actually gets fun. She has a few teams that feel natural, and I've tried all three of the ones below.

Team	How It Works	My Notes
Corin free-to-play team	Pulchra helps activate Corin's Additional Ability. After Pulchra enters Hunter's Gait, switch into Corin and use her EX Special Attack to trigger Aftershocks.	This is the team I'd recommend if you're on a budget. It's clean and easy to understand.
Yixuan and Lucia	Pulchra stuns from off-field so Yixuan can maximize field time and deal more damage. Lucia buffs Yixuan even further.	This team feels very 2026-friendly if you already have Yixuan. Pulchra's off-field stun really lets Yixuan breathe.
Soldier 0 Anby	Both Pulchra and Soldier 0 Anby can increase each other's Aftershock DMG. Let Pulchra enter Hunter's Gait, then use Soldier 0 Anby for most of the combat.	Probably my favorite pairing. The Aftershock synergy is real, and it feels great when everything lines up.

For Bangboo, I won't pretend there's one magic answer for every account. I just pick something that supports the team's damage or stun plan and call it a day. Pulchra's job is already covered by her kit.

Best W-Engines

Box Cutter is Pulchra's signature W-Engine, and it's the one I'd aim for. It gives her additional Daze through Aftershocks, which is exactly what she wants to be doing. Other Impact-focused W-Engines can work, but here's the catch: they don't really do anything special for her Aftershocks. That's why Box Cutter feels like the cleanest fit.

Drive Discs and Skill Priority

I'm not going to throw a bunch of fake numbers at you. My approach is to stack Impact where it matters and sprinkle in CRIT Rate so Pulchra contributes a bit of damage. If you're min-maxing, focus on the stats that help her stun role first.

For skills, I prioritize:

1. Core Skill — this is the backbone of her Daze output.

2. Special Attack — important for her EX Special Attack and Hunter's Gait setup.

3. Chain Attack — worth investing in because it helps her Ultimate contribute more Daze.

I'd leave the rest for later. Pulchra's identity is stun, not raw damage.

How to Play Pulchra

This is the part I actually had to practice. Here's my flow:

• Use Pulchra's EX Special Attack to increase her Daze DMG and enter Hunter's Gait. This state lasts until her next switch-in.

• You can also enter Hunter's Gait through her Evasive Assist.

• While Pulchra is in Hunter's Gait, she performs follow-up Aftershock attacks when the active character uses a Special Attack or EX Special Attack.

• Any attack that hits afterward can trigger Aftershocks from Pulchra.

One tip that saved me a lot of energy: even when Pulchra is out of Energy, you can still enter Hunter's Gait with her Evasive Assist. So if you're running low and you want to keep the Aftershocks going, don't panic — just use a Perfect Assist and keep the train rolling. That little trick makes her feel much smoother in longer fights.

How to Get Pulchra and Materials

Pulchra can be acquired at a standard rate from the Star-Studded Cast Permanent Banner. Just remember that you can't pull her — or any character — from the Bangboo Banner. I know that sounds obvious, but I've seen people get confused.

For materials, I just farm what her skill upgrades need and don't overthink it. The usual progression loop applies: raise her Core Skill and Special Attack first, then fill in the rest as your resources allow.

Final Thoughts

Pulchra is one of those Agents who becomes more fun the more you understand her rhythm. She's not a flashy on-field carry, and that's fine. She's an off-field stun partner who lets your favorite damage dealer go to work while Aftershocks keep the Daze bar moving. In 2026, with teams like Yixuan and Lucia or Soldier 0 Anby, she still has a clear place. If you like setup-based gameplay and want a Physical Stun Agent who doesn't demand the spotlight, give her a shot. I'm glad I did. 😄
