Though she may already be a model soldier, this OBOLS Squad member still needs the right tools to maximize her damage. To help you out, we’ve put together this Zenless Zone Zero Soldier 11 build guide so that you can find the right set-up for hacking and slashing your way to the next objective.

Soldier 11 blazes her way to Zenless Zone Zero as an S-Rank Agent that’s attributed with the Fire element. She is a Slash-type character that will serve as the main source of damage on your squad. Since she can keep up with other top-tier damage dealers like Ellen, Soldier 11 would make an excellent choice as your carry in Zenless Zone Zero endgame content like Hollow Zero and Shiyu Defense.

The best Soldier 11 build in ZZZ is:

  • Best W-Engine: The Brimstone

Zenless Zone Zero Soldier 11 Best W-Engine

The Brimstone is a powerful W-Engine for any DPS character, but it works exceptionally well with Soldier 11 due to her naturally high ATK stat. Here’s a closer look at what The Brimstone can do as well as other W-Engines you can use on the Fire-based Agent in case you don’t have it.
