Zenless Zone Zero Ukinami Yuzuha: The Tanuki-Loving Spook Shack Support
ZZZ Ukinami Yuzuha support build guide: maximize her anomaly power and team synergy for the 2.1 update banner event.
Who schedules a ghost-story squad in the middle of July? Hoyoverse, apparently. When Ukinami Yuzuha strolled into New Eridu with red hair, black boots, striped tights, and what looks suspiciously like a tanuki backpack, she made one thing clear: the Spook Shack does not care about calendar logic. Her banner went live on July 16 in the first half of the 2.1 update, running alongside Miyabi’s first rerun. Proxies who had been hoarding polychromes suddenly faced a brutal choice.
The Spook Shack’s Newest Face
Yuzuha is not just another S-rank agent with a killer outfit. She uses the physical attribute and fills a support role in the 2.1 story. Proxies had already met Komano Monato in earlier updates, but 2.1 finally pulled back the curtain on more of the Spook Shack crew. Alice Thymefield made her debut in the same patch, meaning two S-rank agents split the banner halves. Yuzuha claimed the first half, Alice took the second, and every Proxy’s polychrome stash took the full hit.
Her drip marketing arrived alongside Alice’s, and both were S-rank agents. That is the kind of double announcement that makes saving for a favorite character feel like trying to hold sand in a sieve.
How to Build Her
Yuzuha works best in anomaly teams. Her signature w-engine, Metanukimorphosis, is the obvious pick for anyone who wants maximum value. For non-anomaly teams, Kaboom the Cannon is a solid fallback. Disk drives should be a four-piece Astral Voice set, paired with a two-piece that boosts attack, anomaly proficiency, or anomaly mastery. The exact two-piece depends on whether players prefer more raw punch, more anomaly uptime, or better mastery scaling.
In short, she is a support who makes everyone else look better. Is that not the most generous role in a gacha game?
Best Teammates
| Teammate | Why the Duo Works |
|---|---|
| Jane Doe | Physical assault synergy and enough bleed to make enemies regret leaving the house |
| Yanagi | Disorder triggers for days |
| Piper | Anomaly-friendly chaos with extra physical pressure |
| Miyabi | Frost and physical disorder without breaking a sweat |
| Burnice | Off-field burning keeps anomaly popping |
| Vivian | Another strong anomaly option for extended fights |
Yes, that is a stacked list. Yuzuha is basically the support equivalent of a good roadie: the show does not happen without her, even if she is not the one shredding the solo.
Tanuki Energy and Strange Details
Players do not need a lore dump to notice Yuzuha’s tanuki obsession. Her parasol has footprints on it, and her backpack is clearly tanuki-shaped. Is it a plush toy, a real tanuki, or some kind of tactical tanuki? The game has not confirmed. A quote about her mentions a character named Uncle Baorong and that she helps out with his store. That sounds like future story material, possibly involving snacks, mischief, or both.
Her design screams alternative ghost-story mischief. The red hair and striped tights are already bold, but the tanuki backpack pushes the whole look into “what exactly is going on here?” territory. That is a compliment.
Voice Actor
Zenless Zone Zero does not always confirm its voice actors, but players know Yuzuha shares her Chinese actor with three major Hoyoverse roles. Jin Na voices Genshin Impact’s Yoimiya, Honkai Star Rail’s Rappa, and Pardofelis in Honkai Impact 3rd. If Yuzuha ever starts talking about fireworks or ninja rhymes, nobody should be surprised.
Should Proxies Pull?
Fast-forward to 2026, and Yuzuha still earns her spot in anomaly-focused lineups. Should every player pull for her? Not necessarily. But if a roster has Jane Doe, Yanagi, Piper, Miyabi, Burnice, or Vivian and needs a glue character, Yuzuha is a top-tier choice. If the account is not anomaly-heavy, she can still work with Kaboom the Cannon, though her ceiling is clearly in anomaly teams.
Players who want a current snapshot of where she falls can consult a Zenless Zone Zero tier list. Those chasing newer additions should also watch Zenless Zone Zero Yixuan, whose auric ink and rupture roles have made her another standout. But for Spook Shack style, tanuki charm, and support utility, Yuzuha remains an easy agent to appreciate even well into 2026.
