Zenless Zone Zero’s latest S-Rank Physical stun agent Dialyn has quickly become one of the most talked-about characters thanks to her unique stun utility and team synergy potential. Below is a complete, beginner-friendly build guide that covers what makes her strong, how to stat her, what items to use, and how to slot her into teams.

Who is Dialyn and What Does She Do?

Dialyn is an S-Rank Physical Stun character from the Krampus Compliance Authority. She shines as a stun specialist and burst enabler, converting high Crit Rate into Impact to apply massive daze and providing team-wide damage buffs while also extending stun duration. She also has a powerful support mechanic that can turn Chain Attacks into Ultimates when she builds enough Positive Reviews (PR).

Key traits of her kit:

• Converts Crit Rate into Impact, amplifying her stun application and damage.
• Her EX Specials apply Malicious Complaint, increasing stun damage and adding stun duration.
• Hitting 90+ Positive Reviews lets her force a Chain Attack to become an Ultimate, letting your DPS characters unleash extra Ultimate damage.

Stat and Drive Disc Priorities

Main Stat Priorities

For Dialyn’s Drive Discs (equipment):

1. Slot 4 – CRIT Rate (top priority to maximize her passive)
2. Slot 5 – ATK % or Physical DMG (buffs her own damage and her buffs)
3. Slot 6 – Energy Regen (helps her cycle EX Specials faster)

Sub-stat priorities to aim for:

• CRIT Rate (highest)
• CRIT DMG
• ATK %
• Impact only as needed once her passive buffs are active

Best Drive Disc Sets

4-Piece King of the Summit
This is widely regarded as her strongest set for maximum team damage. It increases Daze application and gives a powerful team-wide Crit DMG buff after EX or Chain usage, especially once Dialyn has high CRIT Rate.

2-Piece Options for flexibility:

• Woodpecker Electro: +8% CRIT Rate, perfect for boosting her passive impact conversion.
• Swing Jazz / Moonlight Lullaby: +20% Energy Regen if you want more EX uptime.

W-Engine Recommendations

Yesterday Calls (Signature W-Engine)
This is Dialyn’s best W-Engine thanks to its +24% CRIT Rate and additional energy regeneration while off-field. It also increases Daze from EX Specials and gives a big team Crit DMG buff when proc’d, making her support even stronger.

Alternative W-Engines:

• Hellfire Gears: Gives Impact and some energy regen if you need slightly more balance.
• Steam Oven or Precious Fossilized Core: Budget A-rank choices that increase energy regen and/or Impact for smoother rotation.

Skill Priority

To make Dialyn as effective as possible, prioritize leveling her skills in this order:

1. Core Skill – Maximizes her Crit Rate to Impact conversion
2. EX Special Attack – Bolsters her stun application strength
3. Chain Attack / Ultimate – Increases burst damage potential
4. Assist
5. Dodge
6. Basic Attack

Playing Dialyn: Rotation Tips

• Start the fight building PR: Dialyn accumulates Positive Reviews passively and via EX hits; these are critical to unlocking double Ultimates.
• Use her EX chain (Rock → Scissors → Paper) to apply stacks quickly and trigger Malicious Complaint for extra stun time and damage.
• Once you reach 90+ PR, either trigger a forced Chain to upgrade into an Ultimate for your next character, or stun enemies to open free Ultimate opportunities for your DPS.

Team Synergy

Dialyn fits best in squads that rely on burst damage and Ultimates, such as:

• Attack-type DPS teams (e.g., Banyue, Komano Manato)
• Rupture teams where burst openings matter most
• Any squad that benefits from extra Ultimates and stun extensions

Players on community forums also confirm that she works well with almost any DPS that relies on Ultimates, and teammates like supports or Attack/Rupture units can enhance the value she provides.

Materials and Leveling

To fully ascend and max her skills you’ll need:

• Stun Certification Seals (Basic, Advanced, Arbiter)
• Physical Chips (Basic, Advanced, Specialized)
• Higher Dimensional Data: Stealth Phantom
• Hamster Cage Passes and Denny for costs and rarer materials
