Cissia | Zenless Zone Zero

Overview

Cissia builds Venom for periodic damage, then cashes it out with Serpentine Shadow. Her loop alternates resource generation with timed payoffs, leaving room for teammates between them.

Role

Quick-swap Electric damage dealer and Electric-team amplifier.

Playstyle

Build Venom with EX and the fourth Basic, then spend a Shadow stack when the stored damage is useful.

Why It Works

The same resource supplies automatic damage, CRIT support and Electric DEF ignore. Excess Venom also converts into immediate Corrode Bone triggers.

Watch For

Initial Energy Regen is the scaling input, not every temporary Energy effect. A cash-out empties Venom, so plan the next refill.

Playstyle

Combat Flow

EX to gain Venom → Follow with Basic hit four → Swap through Quick Assist → Build Serpentine Shadow → Serpent's Kiss cash-out → Refill

Key Notes

Holding EX spends additional Energy for additional strikes and Venom.
EX can directly follow into Basic hit four.
A Stun or Electric teammate activates the CRIT DMG portion of her support.
Corrode Bone builds a temporary CRIT Rate buff; count it when balancing discs.
