Burnice White Guide - Zenless Zone Zero

Burnice White is an S - rank fire anomaly agent in Zenless Zone Zero, belonging to the Sons of Calydon faction. Her vibrant and friendly personality makes her stand out. With her distinct dual - ponytail hairstyle and punk - style black - red outfit, she always carries two flamethrowers, ready to unleash powerful fire attacks.

How to Obtain

Burnice White was available as a rate - up character on the second exclusive channel banner in patch 1.2. She cannot be pulled from the stable channel or the Bangboo channel. Keep an eye on future banners or events that might feature her again if you missed the initial opportunity.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths

Powerful Off - field Damage and Anomaly Buildup: Burnice can deal significant fire damage and build up anomaly values even when she is not the on - field character. This makes her a great support for the main DPS, as she can continuously contribute to the overall damage output and set up for anomaly - related effects.

Build Flexibility: She benefits from all offensive stats, which means there are fewer stats that are wasted. You have more freedom in choosing her artifacts and weapons, as most offensive - oriented stats will enhance her performance.

Weaknesses

Ultimate Heat Restoration Requirement: If not using her signature weapon or a specific strategy (M1), her ultimate move needs to be used on Burnice herself to restore 50 heat. This can be a drawback as it might prevent your main DPS from using their ultimate at a crucial moment.

Best Builds

Weapons

Signature Weapon: Her signature weapon, if available, is highly recommended as it can enhance her unique skills and overall performance. It may provide additional effects related to her heat mechanic or damage output.

Alternative Weapons: Look for weapons that increase her fire damage, energy recharge, or attack speed. Weapons with sub - stats like critical rate or critical damage can also be beneficial as they boost her overall damage potential.

Artifacts

Fire - focused Sets: Artifact sets that increase fire damage are ideal. Sets that provide a bonus when dealing fire damage or when triggering certain fire - related effects can significantly enhance Burnice's performance.

Stats Prioritization: Focus on artifacts with main stats such as attack percentage, fire damage bonus, and energy recharge. Sub - stats like critical rate, critical damage, and anomaly buildup can also be valuable.

Team Compositions

Fire - based Teams: Pair Burnice with other fire - anomaly agents. Her off - field damage and anomaly buildup can combine well with other fire - focused characters to quickly apply fire - related anomalies and deal high - burst damage.

Mixed Anomaly Teams: She can also be part of a team with other anomaly - type agents. Burnice's ability to build up anomaly values in the background can contribute to the overall anomaly - related strategies of the team, such as triggering powerful anomaly - related effects.
