Best Corin Zenless Zone Zero build: W-Engine, Drive Disc & team comp

Corin is an A-rank unit in Zenless Zone Zero that you can get for free as a pre-registration reward. If you are fond of this unit, here is a detailed guide covering her best W-Engine, team comp, and Drive Disc.

Zenless Zone Zero version 1.0 introduced over 10 different characters to pick from either through the gacha or for free. While the gacha characters are exceptional, the free ones aren’t bad either.

Some free units, such as Nicole, Anby, and Billy are fairly strong, and the same goes for Corin. She has the Physical attributes, Attack specialty, and functions that make her an effective main DPS for your team.

If you are looking to build your Corin for end-game content, then we have you covered.

Best W-Engine for Corin

Housekeeper

This is the best W-Engine for Corin as it synergizes very well with her kit. This W-Engine provides her with off-field energy regeneration, while also enhancing her Physical DMG by a massive amount. You can obtain a total of 15 stacks of Physical DMG bonus, where each stack grants you 3%.

Apart from that, it is an A-rank W-Engine, which means it is easier to get than an S-rank one.

Steel Cushion

This S-rank W-Engine is also very good on Corin as it provides a flat 20% Physical DMG bonus without any conditions. Additionally, the wearer gains a 25% DMG bonus when attacking enemies from behind.

While the second part of the passive is hard to trigger, the first half is available at all times. This makes Corin deal a significant amount of damage. The only problem is that this W-Engine is S-rank, which means it is quite hard to get.

Best Drive Disc for Corin

The best Drive Disc for Corin is Fanged Metal. The set bonus for this Drive Disc is as follows:

Set-piece	Set Bonus
2-pc	Increases Physical DMG by 10%.
4-pc	Whenever a squad member inflicts Assault on an enemy, the equipper deals 35% additional DMG to the target for 12s.

The final two slots can be filled up with the Drive Disc Woodpecker Electro. The set bonus for this one is as follows:

Set-piece	Set Bonus
2-pc	Crit Rate increased by 8%

Both of these Drive Disc sets work well with Corin’s kit. They boost her damage massively while also providing her consistency.

Best Corin team comp

As Corin is a DPS she needs support characters to boost her damage. The best units to pair alongside Corin are Lycaon and Rina. In this team, Lycaon is the Stun unit who functions as the debuffer and Rina is the support who boosts the damage of the entire team.

However, if you do not have Lycaon and Rina, you can go with Lucy and Anby. In this team, Lucy functions as the support and is a pretty powerful unit in the early game. Anby is also quite good as she will function as the secondary DPS for the team.
