Zenless Zone Zero Koleda Belobog Build Guide: Best Soundquakes, Drive Discs, Teams & Playstyle

Koleda Belobog, the S-rank Fire Breaker in Zenless Zone Zero, excels as a stagger-focused DPS and Imbalance enabler, utilizing her "Furnace Overdrive" mechanics to amplify team burst windows. This guide covers optimal builds, team synergies, and strategies to maximize her potential as a frontline disruptor.  

1. Skill Priority & Talent Breakdown  

- Normal Attack (NA) > Enhanced Special Skill > Core Passive > Ultimate/Evasion    

  - Normal Attack: Koleda’s primary source of stagger damage. Her Charged Attack and fourth NA hit trigger Furnace Overdrive, replacing standard attacks with high-stagger Pyro slashes. Prioritize leveling this first.  

  - Enhanced Special Skill: Deals AoE Pyro DMG and grants Furnace Overdrive, essential for maintaining stagger pressure.  

  - Core Passive: Boosts stagger efficiency and Pyro DMG after using Enhanced Special Skill.  

  - Ultimate: Provides crowd control but has lower priority due to long animations.  

Key Talents  

- Talent A (Hammer Rhythm): Increases stagger efficiency during Charged Attacks.  

- Talent B (Blazing Momentum): Reduces Enhanced Special Skill cooldown per stagger trigger.  

- Talent F (Infernal Tempo): Adds Pyro RES shred during Furnace Overdrive, critical for late-game DPS .  

2. Soundquake (Weapon) Recommendations  

Best-in-Slot  

- Infernal Gear  (S-Rank): Signature weapon. Boosts Energy Regen, Pyro DMG, and stagger efficiency. Synergizes perfectly with her playstyle .  

- Rotary Cylinder  (A-Rank): Battle Pass option. Enhances stagger and Energy Regen for smoother rotations .  

Alternatives  

- Human as Prey  (A-Rank): Toy Shop weapon. Provides ATK% and stagger bonuses for early-game builds .  

3. Drive Disc (Artifact) Builds  

Optimal Sets  

- 4pc Stardust Disco  + 2pc Pyro Prison Heavy Metal  

  - 4pc Stardust: Boosts NA/Charged Attack DMG by 15% and stagger efficiency by 25%.  

  - 2pc Pyro Prison: Adds 10% Pyro DMG Bonus .  

Main Stats  

- Slot 4: CRIT Rate/DMG (aim for 1:2 ratio).  

- Slot 5: Pyro DMG Bonus.  

- Slot 6: Energy Regen (120–140% recommended).  

- Substats: CRIT > Stagger Rate > ATK% > PEN .  

4. Team Compositions  

Koleda thrives in Pyro-centric teams or hybrid squads that exploit staggered enemies:  

Meta Pyro Team  

- Koleda + Ben + Soldier 11  

  - Ben: Provides shields and Pyro RES shred via his Skill.  

  - Soldier 11: Burst DPS during Imbalance phases. Activate Koleda’s Synergy Mechanic with Ben for enhanced DMG and stagger .  

Hybrid Stagger Team  

- Koleda + Lycaon + Rina  

  - Lycaon: Ice Breaker for dual-element stagger triggers.  

  - Rina: Crowd control and Burn application .  

F2P-Friendly Team  

- Koleda + Anby + Anton  

  - Anby: Budget Imbalance enabler.  

  - Anton: Sub-DPS for burst phases .  

5. Playstyle & Rotation Tips  

1. Stagger Setup: Use Charged NA → Enhanced Special Skill to apply Furnace Overdrive.  

2. Burst Window: Swap to DPS allies (e.g., Soldier 11) after triggering Imbalance.  

3. Energy Management: Pair Koleda with Energy Regen discs or Rotary Cylinder for Ultimate uptime .  

4. Synergy Mechanic: Always pair with Ben to unlock enhanced stagger and DMG multipliers .
