What is the best ZZZ Billy Kid build? Billy is one of the first characters you meet in Zenless Zone Zero, making him one of our most trusted Agents. If you want to keep him around for his giddy banter and love of Starlight Knights, you need the best Zenless Zone Zero Billy build.
Of all the early game characters in our ZZZ tier list, Billy Kid is definitely one of our favorites. Part of the Zenless Zone Zero Cunning Hares, this handsome cyborg’s looks don’t match his almost childlike personality – especially in those moments he goes into blushing anime cutie mode. Don’t be fooled though, Billy and ‘the girls’ – his dual revolvers – make a great addition to almost any ZZZ team comp, especially with the Billy build we’ve listed below.
The best ZZZ Billy Kid build
The best build for Billy Kid is one that capitalizes on his Physical damage output as well as his range, given that his twin revolvers allow him to deal damage from a distance.
The best Billy build is:
- W-Engine:
- Starlight Engine Replica (A-Tier) or Steel Cushion (S-Tier)
- Drive Disks:
- Hormone Punk (Two-piece set)
- Fanged Metal (Four-piece set)
Best ZZZ Billy Kid W-Engine
| W-Engine | Effects |
| Starlight Engine Replica | +36% Physical damage for eight seconds upon hitting an enemy at least six meters away with a basic or dash attack. |
| Steel Cushion | Physical damage is increased by 20%. Damage is increased by an additional 25% when the user attacks an enemy from behind. |
The Starlight Engine Replica (not to be confused with the Starlight Engine) is our go-to ZZZ W-Engine for Billy Kid, and we assume being named after the Starlight Knights is no accident. The A-rank weapon engine increases Physical damage by 36% on ranged basic attacks or dash attacks, perfect for gun-toting ranged Agent.
You’re more likely to get the Starlight Engine Replica, but if you’re lucky enough to get the S-tier Steel Cushion, you can certainly swap it in. The Steel Cushion deals an additional 25% damage to Physical attacks, further increasing his attack by 35% when attacking enemies from behind.
Best ZZZ Billy Kid Drive Disks
| Drive Disk | Effects |
| Hormone Punk (two-piece set) | +10% attack |
| Fanged Metal (four-piece set) | +10% Physical damage. Plus, when any squad member inflicts Assault on an enemy, the user deals 35% more damage to the target for 12 seconds. |
Fanged Metal is the go-to ZZZ Drive Disk set here, given it’s association with the Physical attribute – any increase to Billy’s physical damage output is a no-brainer. For the remaining two slots, though, we’ve decided to further increase one of Billy’s weakest base stats: attack. Hormone Punk does just this, buffing his attack by 10%.
For all six Drive Disks, if you have any duplicates and are having trouble choosing, be sure to check the base stat boost of each. For Billy, your best choice is any Drive Disk that increases attack, as his could use some work. With these weapon engines and Drive Disks equipped, Billy becomes even more of a valuable asset to your team – just don’t forget to level him up to increase his own base stats as well.
