Zenless Zone Zero Version 2.7: Top 5 Drive Discs Cleanup Missions

On April 10th, the Advanced Bounty: Area Patrol event will be live in Zenless Zone Zero, with 2 attempts per day and double rewards for farming Drive Discs. Today, let's talk about which Drive Discs Cleanup Mission you should choose.

Event Duration: 04/10 04:00 ~ 04/15 03:59

Top 1: Deceits and Bulwarks

Drops Drive Discs: White Water Ballad, Shining Aria

Suitable Characters: Ye Shunguang, Aria

White Water Ballad is the custom Drive Disc set for Ye Shunguang. Ye Shunguang is the strongest main DPS in the current version, so farming Discs for her is a great choice. Note: the White Water Ballad 4-piece set increases Crit Rate by 20%. Ye Shunguang's core skill grants an additional 30% Crit Rate upon entering combat. Therefore, Ye Shunguang only needs 50% Crit Rate on her stats to reach the maximum Crit Rate cap in combat.

The Shining Aria 2-piece set increases Ether Damage, and its 4-piece set increases Anomaly Proficiency upon hitting enemies with normal attacks. It is the custom Drive Disc set for Aria. Actually, Phaethon's Melody is stronger than Shining Aria, but Shining Aria can be obtained alongside White Water Ballad, offering a better value.

Top 2: Dragon Taming Chariot

Drops Drive Discs: Bunny in Wonderland, Notes From the Chained

Suitable Characters: Universal for Defense characters, Promeia

Bunny in Wonderland 2-piece set increases HP. Its 4-piece set can increase the entire team's damage by up to 18%. While this damage increase is lower than the Astral Voice set, it is a universal Drive Disc set for Defense characters and is definitely usable.

Notes From the Chained 2-piece set increases Ice Damage. Its 4-piece set increases Attribute Anomaly Damage and Disorder Damage, making it suitable for Ice Anomaly DPS characters. It is the Drive Disc set for Promeia, a new character in Version 2.8. Promeia has been confirmed to be an Ice Anomaly DPS. Those planning to obtain her can start farming her Discs in advance.

Top 3: Words and Weapons

Drops Drive Discs: Yunkui Tales, King of the Summit

Suitable Characters: General for Rupture DPS, General for Stun characters

The Yunkui Tales 4-piece set increases Crit Rate and Sheer DMG. It is the only 4-piece Drive Disc set for Rupture DPS characters. Characters like Yixuan, Yidhari, Komano Manato, and Banyue all use it.

The other new character in Version 2.8, Starlight - Billy, is a Physical Rupture DPS. If no new Drive Discs are introduced in Version 2.8, Starlight - Billy will likely also use the Yunkui Tales set.

The King of the Summit 4-piece set is a general-purpose Drive Disc set for Stun characters, increasing the team's Crit DMG. Some Stun characters also have specific stat requirements: Dialyn needs 100% base Crit Rate, Ju Fufu needs 3400 base Attack, and trigger conditions may require 90% in-combat Crit Rate. Additionally, Stun characters using the King of the Summit set need a Crit Rate of at least 50%. Therefore, farming better King of the Summit sets for Stun characters can provide improvements.

Top 4: Iron Law and Outlaws

Drops Drive Discs: Dawn's Bloom, Moonlight Lullaby

Suitable Characters: Seed, General for Support characters, General for characters needing Energy Regeneration

Dawn's Bloom enhances normal attack damage and is the custom Drive Disc set for Seed. The new character in the second-half banner, Cissia, is designed to complement Seed, meaning Seed's teams will receive an upgrade.

The other set, Moonlight Lullaby, is also very good. Its 2-piece set provides Energy Regeneration, and its 4-piece set increases the entire team's damage by 18%, making it a general-purpose set for Support characters. Use the Astral Voice set if the team has frequent Quick Assists; use the Moonlight set if Quick Assists are infrequent. Both can be used if conditions are met. The Energy Regeneration from the Moonlight 2-piece set is also highly versatile; even for non-Support characters, some sub-DPS characters can use it, such as Orphie Magnusson & Magus.

Top 5: Monster Duet

Drops Drive Discs: Branch & Blade Song, Astral Voice

Suitable Characters: General for DPS, Astra Yao, Yuzuha, Nangong Yu

The Branch & Blade Song 4-piece set can only be used by Hoshimi Miyabi. However, Miyabi is possibly the most flexible character in terms of Drive Disc choices, opting for different sets in different teams. It's not a bad idea to farm some extras. The Branch & Blade Song 2-piece set, which increases Crit DMG, is excellent; Attack-type and Rupture-type direct-damage DPS characters will often have a use for it.

Astral Voice at full stacks provides a 24% damage increase for the on-field DPS character, still offering the highest damage boost among support-type Drive Disc sets. It is generally used by Astra Yao, and by Nangong Yu in teams composed of an Anomaly DPS + Nangong Yu + Yuzuha.

These 5 Drive Disc Cleanup Missions are all good. You can farm them based on the Drive Discs you need. Even without getting desired items, the double rewards effect is still beneficial.
