In Zenless Zone Zero, Abnormal characters can deal a lot of Damage while on the field. You can switch between two Abnormal characters continuously to activate their Abnormal Attribute and cause Confusion, which can deal a lot of Damage if done correctly.
Vivian, a character you can team up with Agents like Yanagi in Zenless Zone Zero. She will bring complete freedom on the field because she activates Corrosion and Confusion from the sidelines. That brings a whole new flavor to the Abnormal gameplay. Of course, to do that, Vivian's build and stats need to support that gameplay. We will guide you with the Vivian build in Zenless Zone Zero below. Remember to check out the latest Zenless Zone Zero codes .

This combination helps Vivian maximize her ability to control and deal damage in battles.
Recommended Index
To make Vivian shine on the battlefield, prioritize the following stats:
Key metrics
- Disc 4: Supernatural Mastery
- Disc 5: DMG Ether % > Armor Penetration = Attack %
- Disc 6: Abnormal Control > Attack %
Sub-index
- Abnormal Mastery > Attack % > Armor Penetration = Flat ATK
Endgame Stats (Level 60)
If built correctly, Vivian should hit the following thresholds at level 60:
- ATK: 2400 - 3000+
- HP: 10000
- Defense: 800
- Abnormal Control: 144 - 198+
- Abnormal Mastery: 330 - 430+ (Before entering battle)
Important Note: Anomalous Mastery is Vivian's "soul" thanks to its ability to increase her Aberration damage - her main source of DPS. Prioritize this stat over Attack % to optimize combat effectiveness.
