Pyrois | Zenless Zone Zero

Overview

Pyrois builds Solar Prominence and Celestial Light for distinct Ultimate routes. His payoff depends on the target's state: Contamination and Totalize serve different windows, with Totalize consuming the remaining Stun.

Role

Flexible Ether burst carry with resource and Ultimate-branch routing.

Playstyle

Build Solar Prominence, enter the enhanced Basic sequence through EX or Chain, and select an Ultimate whose conditions are actually met.

Why It Works

EX/Ultimate trigger Phaethon's assist, while supported branches shortcut directly to the stronger half of Celestial Light.

Watch For

The Contamination branch needs Contamination. Eternal Imprisonment ends stun after its finisher, which can conflict with other planned attacks.

Playstyle

Combat Flow

Prepare team effects → Build 30 Solar Prominence → EX / Chain shortcut → Celestial Light → Choose the appropriate Ultimate branch → Continue or reset

Key Notes

Solar Prominence caps at 60; spend it before repeated gains overflow.
Swapping during enhanced Basic hit three lets hit four complete off field.
Triumphant Return establishes the longer-lived Sunflare state.
A Stun or Support teammate grants CRIT DMG and Chain-based Decibels.
