Rina's Guide: Mastering the Electric Maestro's Minions in Zenless Zone Zero

Let me tell you, fellow Proxy, pulling Rina in 2026's Zenless Zone Zero felt less like getting a new agent and more like inheriting a pair of hyper-caffeinated, electrically-charged toddlers with a penchant for violence. My initial thought was, 'Great, another support to babysit.' But oh, how wrong I was. Rina, the elegant maestro of the Victoria Housekeeping Co., doesn't fight; she conducts. Her personal Bangboo minions, Drusilla and Anastella, are her orchestra, and watching them wreak havoc while I sip a metaphorical cup of tea from the sidelines is a delight that never gets old. She's not just a support; she's a strategic puppeteer in a world gone mad, and mastering her is like learning to play a theremin—it looks effortless from the outside, but there's a beautiful, chaotic science to it.

Be On Your Toes and Let the Bangboos Do the Work 🎭

The first rule of Rina Club: you do not fight. The second rule of Rina Club: YOU DO NOT FIGHT. Seriously, her personal damage output is about as threatening as a soggy newspaper. Her genius lies in delegation. Drusilla and Anastella aren't just summons; they're extensions of her will, her electric fists in a velvet glove. My job? Positioning. Do I deploy them together for a synchronized shock-and-awe assault, or stagger them like a one-two punch to keep the pressure on? This beautiful delegation system turns combat into a tactical ballet, freeing me up to focus on the most important job in New Eridu: not getting hit. Dodging becomes my primary contribution, making me feel like a matador in a storm of bullets and robot parts.

Skill Kit: The Conductor's Baton ⚡

Rina's kit is elegantly simple, designed to make her allies shine brighter than a Hollow anomaly.

• Basic Attack & Dodge: Largely irrelevant for damage. Their purpose is to build energy and keep you alive. Think of them as the conductor tuning the orchestra before the show.

• Special Attack: Bangboo Deployment: This is where the magic happens. Summon Drusilla or Anastella. Their attacks not only deal solid Electric damage but, more importantly, they reduce the enemy's Electric RES. It's like they're pre-sanding the wall before your main DPS paints it with lightning.

• EX Special Attack & Chain Attack: These are your big moments. The EX attack summons both Bangboos for a coordinated strike, while her Chain Attack provides a hefty Damage Penetration buff to the team. Timing this before your heavy hitter's combo is like pouring rocket fuel into a sports car.

Ideal Teams: Building the Orchestra 🎻

Who you pair with Rina depends on what symphony of destruction you want to compose. Her flexibility is her greatest strength.

Team Archetype	Core Members	Playstyle & Synergy
⚡ Pure Electric Overload	Rina + Koleda (or another Electric DPS) + Lycaon (Anomaly)	The classic mono-element team. Rina's RES shred and Penetration buff turn your team into a walking power grid. Perfect for robotic foes. Lycaon's stuns set up beautiful windows for unopposed Bangboo barrages.
🛡️ Victoria Housekeeping Homies	Rina + Soukaku + Lycaon	The faction bonus is nice, but the real magic is the control. Soukaku's heals and Lycaon's freeze/stun create a safe playground for Rina's minions to operate. It's a slow, methodical, and utterly dominant strategy.
💥 Flexible Shock Support	Rina + Any Strong Main DPS + Flex Slot	Can't go wrong. Slot Rina into any team that needs more damage. Her buffs are universal, making even non-Electric attackers hit harder. The flex slot can be a healer, another buffer, or an anomaly applier.

As demonstrated by content creators over the past two years, a well-built Rina doesn't just support; she enables. She turns competent teams into exceptional ones.

Best W-Engines & Drive Discs: Forging a Lightning Empress ⚙️

This is where Rina transforms from a useful conductor into a legendary maestro. Gearing her is less about making her hit hard and more about maximizing her supportive throughput. Think of it as upgrading the sound system for her orchestra—the better the gear, the more devastating the symphony.

W-Engines: The Power Source

These are your gacha prizes, the shiny toys that make a difference.

• S-Rank Dream Pick: Sea of Tears - The holy grail for support Rina. Its ability boosts the entire team's ATK based on her Energy Regen rate. Stack ER on her, and you're passively buffing everyone's damage constantly. It's like installing a permanent, team-wide adrenaline drip.

• Top A-Rank & F2P Option: Starlight Engine - A fantastic and accessible choice. It boosts her own Energy Regen and, upon using her EX Special Attack, boosts the team's Electric Damage. Reliable, effective, and perfectly syncs with her rotation.

• Early Game/Alternative: Thunderous Blade - Straightforward. Boosts Electric Damage. A simple tool to amplify her Bangboos' punches while you hunt for better gear.

Drive Discs: The Fine-Tuning

Farm these from the endgame grind—weekly bosses and the like. The meta for supports has solidified around two main sets:

1. 4-Piece Electro-Symphony Set

   • 2-Pc Effect: Increases Energy Regen Rate by 20%.

   • 4-Pc Effect: After using an EX Special Attack, increases all allies' ATK by 15% for 12 seconds.

   • Why it's great: This set was practically made for her. It turns her double-Bangboo EX attack into a massive team-wide steroid. The Energy Regen helps her spam it more often. It's the cornerstone of her modern build.

2. 4-Piece Pioneer's Set

   • 2-Pc Effect: Increases ATK by 10%.

   • 4-Pc Effect: Upon entering the field, increases all allies' Damage Penetration by 15% for 10 seconds.

   • Why it's great: A more direct damage boost. The Penetration buff stacks beautifully with her innate kit, creating a multiplicative damage spike for your carry. Perfect for quick-swap teams where Rina pops in, buffs, and pops out.

Main Stats to Target:

• Shell: HP% or DEF% (Survivability is key!)

• Core: ENERGY REGEN RATE% (This is your #1 priority stat)

• Processor: Electric Damage % (For her Bangboos) or HP%/DEF%

Substat Priorities: Energy Regen Rate > HP% / DEF% > Crit Rate (if using certain engines) > ATK%.

In 2026, gearing Rina is a focused endeavor. You're not building a warrior; you're building a catalyst. Every point of Energy Regen is another buff for your team, every survivability stat is more uptime for her minions. When it all clicks, and Drusilla and Anastella are zapping foes into scrap metal while your main DPS unleashes a buffed-up ultimate, you'll understand. Rina isn't playing the same game as everyone else. She's above the fray, a tactician whose weapon is the battlefield itself, and her victory is as inevitable as a thunderclap after lightning.
