Housekeeping is here!
PostsVon Lycaon is a member of the Victoria Housekeeping Co. and prioritizes Ice and Stun attacks. While you won't get him for free just by completing the story, it's worth using your Signal Searches to pull him for your squad. Here's how you can build him to help carry your team in Zenless Zone Zero!
Best Builds For Lycaon
As a member of the Victoria Housekeeping Co., Von Lycaon knows how to clean house with his stunning abilities. He fills up the Daze meter for enemies while dealing Ice attacks. His special abilities allow him to deal more damage to Dazed enemies as well, but only if you build him properly.
To build him up, you'll need W-Engines and Drive Discs that amplify his abilities. Below, you'll find the best equipment for Von Lycaon:
Rank
Name
Synergy With Lycaon
1
The Restrained
As his signature W-Engine, The Restrained is the best pairing for Von Lycaon. This W-Engine increases the DMG and Daze from his Basic Attacks and stacks.
2
Hellfire Gears
Another S-Rank W-Engine that can work for Lycaon is Hellfire Gears. Off-field Energy Regen increases, and Lycaon receives a boost to his Impact when using his Special Attack.
3
Six Shooter
This A-Rank W-Engine increases the Daze inflicted by Lycaon after stacking charges from Special Attacks.
4
Steam Oven
Lycaon's Impact will increase for every ten Energy accumulated, stacking several times. It's a great option if you're able to get ahold of it.
5
Precious Fossilized Core
While not the best A-Rank W-Engine, it's worth giving to Lycaon. When a target's HP is below 50 percent, he'll deal more Daze to the enemy.
6
Vortex - Arrow
If you aren't able to get any of the above W-Engines, try using this one. It's a great budget option that increases the amount of Daze Lycaon will inflict.
Best Drive Discs For Lycaon
Set
Synergy With Lycaon
Shockstar Disco
This four-piece set increases Lycaon's Impact, allowing him to deal more Daze to enemies in battle.
Swing Jazz
As a two-piece set paired with Shockstar Disco, Swing Jazz will increase Lycaon's Energy Regen to let him use his Special Attack more often.
Polar Metal
Instead of Swing Jazz, Polar Metal can be used as a two-piece set to help Lycaon deal more DMG in combat.
Best Bangboo For Lycaon
Bangboos are useful little companions that can support you from the sidelines. From healing your squad to dealing damage, every Bangboo in Zenless Zone Zero has a purpose.
Below are the best Bangboos to use with Lycaon to maximize his potential:
Sharkboo
Sharkboo is a great ally for Lycaon! This little guy will help deal Ice DMG and accumulate Ice Anomaly Buildup in combat. This is made even more effective when there are two Ice agents in your squad.
Penguinboo
Penguinboo will also help with dealing Ice DMG and accumulating Ice Anomaly Buildup. The Chain Attack won't be as effective as Sharkboo's with two Ice characters, but Penguinboo is still a great option.
Butler
Butler's main goal is to help with Energy Regen, allowing Lycaon to use his Special Attack more frequently. Their Chain Attack can also deal massive Phsyical DMG to enemies.
Bagboo
If you aren't able to pull an S-Rank Bangboo, Bagboo is a great alternative. Bagboo deals Physical DMG in quick succession and pairs well if there's an Attack character in the squad with Lycaon.
Lycaon Skill Overview And Priority
While selecting the right equipment for Lycaon is important, so is upgrading his skills to ensure he can tackle even the toughest enemies. Every skill is worth looking at, but not all of them are worth expending resources on for each character.
Lycaon benefits most from his Basic Attack and Special Attack, as those two are how he deals DMG and Daze to enemies. His Core Skill is also vital as a Stun character, like Anby, so make sure to upgrade that when you have the chance.
You'll want to prioritize skills that increase the amount of Daze Von Lycaon inflicts, as that's his primary objective in combat.
Below is the best order to upgrade Von Lycaon's skills to maximize his damage output:
- Basic Attack
- Special Attack
- Chain Attack
- Dodge
- Assist
As you adapt to playing as Lycaon, you'll use his Dodge attacks less and less.
Instead, Chain Attack and Assist will deal more Daze and Damage in the long run.
