Corin Wickes may seem like a perpetually confused teenage girl, but you wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of her attacks in battle. With this Zenless Zone Zero Corin build guide, you’ll be able to help the young maid wield her axe-buzzsaw hybrid weapon with confidence.

+ 2Zenless Zone Zero Corin Best W-Engine
Steel Cushion will have a huge impact on Corin’s offensive capabilities since it enhances the wearer’s Physical damage and CRIT Rate. Here’s a closer look at Steel Cushion and other strong W-Engines for Corin so that you can weigh your options.
| W-Engine | Rarity | Stats | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steel Cushion | S | Base ATK: 713 / CRIT Rate: 24% | Increase Physical damage by 25%. Gain an additional 35% bonus when attacking enemies from behind. |
| Cannon Rotor | A | Base ATK: 594 / CRIT Rate: 20% | ATK is increased by 7.5%. Landing a CRIT hit will deal additional damage equal to 200% of ATK. This effect can be triggered once every 8 seconds. |
| Housekeeper | A | Base ATK: 624 / CRIT DMG: 40% | Enhances the user's Energy Regen while off-field. Using an EX Special Attack will grant a stackable Physical damage buff to the user for 1 second. This can stack up to 15 times and duration is refreshed whenever the effect is triggered. |
Zenless Zone Zero Corin Best Drive Disc
The Fanged Metal set synergizes well with Corin's surprisingly strong Physical application with her charged attack, despite being an Attack character, not an Anomaly unit. Pair this will two pieces of Woodpecker Electro and Corin will be putting up monstrous numbers in combat.
| Drive Disc Set | 2-pc Effect | 4-pc Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Fanged Metal | Increase Physical DMG by 10%. | Wearer will deal 35% more damage to a target for 12 seconds after it is inflicted with Assault. |

| Puffer Electro | Increase PEN Ratio by 8%. | Ultimate DMG is increased by 20%. Using an Ultimate will buff the wearer's ATK by 15% for 12 seconds. |
Zenless Zone Zero Best Corin Teams
Despite her lack of confidence, Corin is a powerful companion to have while exploring a Hollow. She becomes even more effective in battle when grouped with other members of Victoria Housekeeping or Physical Attribute Agents.
While it might seem odd to pair Corin with another Attack Agent, especially an S-Rank one like Ellen, it works well due to how the element system works in ZZZ. With Corin applying the Physical element and Ellen Ice, you can inflict the incredibly powerful Disorder effect for massive damage.
| Team | Character 1 | Character 2 | Character 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Corin (Attack) | Lycaon (Stun) | Rina (Support) |
| 2 | Corin (Attack) | Lycaon (Stun) | Ellen (Attack) |
| 3 | Corin (Attack) | Anby (Stun) | Rina (Support) |
Zenless Zone Zero Corin Best Bangboo
When it comes to Bangboos for Corin, Amillion is a solid pick if you’re looking to boost the young maid’s personal damage output. Should you have another member of the Victoria Housekeeping faction on the squad with her, then Butler is also worth considering.
| Bangboo | Rarity | Active Skill | Passive Skill | Chain Skill |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Butler | S | Create a snack that will regenerate an Agent's Energy. | Active Skill will generate 20% more Energy if there is at least one member of Victoria Housekeeping on your team. | Long-ranged attack with a frying pan and pancakes that deals Physical damage. |
| Amillion | S | Create a machine gun that continuously deals Physical DMG to enemies. | Having fewer enemies will increase the Bangboo Chain Attack DMG when there is at least one member of the Cunning Hares on your team. | Enters driving state to deal massive Physical DMG to enemies. |
| Bagboo | A | Deal Physical damage by attacking with dual blades. | Bangboo Chain Attack DMG increases by 30% when there is at least one Attack character in the party. | Deal Physical damage with continuous slashes. |
