To excel with Pyrois in Zenless Zone Zero, focus on Solar Prominence resource management, equip optimal gear suited for crit-based playstyles, and form teams with synergy enhancing their stun capabilities.
Understanding Pyrois Mechanics
Pyrois utilizes a unique resource known as Solar Prominence, which is critical to their abilities and gameplay. At the start of combat, Pyrois begins with 30 points of Solar Prominence, which can be gained passively at 0.5 points per second or through specific skills. This resource powers enhanced basic attacks, which deliver higher motion values and are key to maximizing damage during combat. Pyrois also boasts a choice of four ultimate abilities, which are selected in a cutscene during combat and can adapt strategy based on current conditions.
Managing Solar Prominence Resource
To effectively manage Solar Prominence, it's essential to use skills and passive generation wisely. Players should focus on maintaining at least 30 points to utilize their enhanced basic attacks at full efficiency.
steps
- Begin combat with 30 Solar Prominence automatically provided.
- Utilize passive generation at 0.5 points/second and skills that replenish the resource.
- Hold the basic attack button when Solar Prominence reaches 30 points or more to activate enhanced basic attacks.
- Use ultimates and EX specials strategically to restore Solar Prominence and maximize damage output.

Optimizing Gear and Disk Drives
Pyrois benefits most from gear focused on crit-based playstyles. Two four-piece gear sets stand out for their synergy with Pyrois' mechanics: Sky Ablaze and Puffer Electro. Sky Ablaze offers consistent damage bonuses, while Puffer Electro provides comparable value with slight statistical differences depending on builds.
Best Main Gear Options:
- Sky Ablaze (4-piece set)
- Puffer Electro (4-piece set)
Slot Prioritization:
- Slot four: Crit rate
- Slot five: Crit damage or attack percent
- Slot six: Attack percent
Substats such as crit rate, crit damage, and attack percent should be prioritized to maximize damage output.

Stat Priority and Focus
Different stats play a vital role in maximizing Pyrois' damage potential. When gearing Pyrois, focus on the following priorities:
| Stat | Purpose | Best Use Cases |
|---|---|---|
| Crit rate | Ensures key abilities like Totalize crit consistently | Core for crit-based enhanced damage |
| Attack percent | Increases base damage across abilities | Essential for reliable output across encounters |
| Crit damage | Scales total damage for big-impact hits | Key for optimizing damage scaling during combat |
Building Effective Team Compositions
To maximize Pyrois' effectiveness, team compositions should include characters that complement their stun capabilities and energy generation. Consider the following setups:
Effective Team Options
- Stun-Oriented Team: Pair Pyrois with Dialyn for reliable stun and Nicole for energy generation and buffs.
- Double-Support Setup: Combine Pyrois with Nicole and Sunna or Astra, emphasizing buffs and synergy for sustained damage.
- Upcoming Characters: Speculations suggest future characters like Norma may provide excellent synergy with Pyrois.

Also worth knowing
- Energy Generation Rate (EGR): EGR provides multiplicative benefits to skills generating energy but does not affect flat energy gains from support ultimate abilities. This stat should be considered when choosing gear and companions for Pyrois.
