Zenless Zone Zero – Complete Dialyn Build Guide

Dialyn is a Physical Stun S‑Rank Agent in Zenless Zone Zero whose kit revolves around building Positive Reviews, triggering Get Lost!, and feeding your main DPS constant stun windows and free Ultimates. This guide explains how to build her W‑Engine, Drive Discs, stats, skills, and teams so she can control fights and dramatically increase your squad’s overall damage.
How Dialyn Works
Dialyn builds Positive Reviews by using her Basic Attacks, Special Attacks, and EX Special Attacks, eventually generating a Customer Complaint that can be spent on EX Special Attack: Get Lost! to force a Chain Attack window. When she consumes that Complaint, your next character can instantly cast their Ultimate without spending Decibel Rating, letting your primary DPS unload more frequently during stun. Her Paper hit applies Malicious Complaint, a debuff that increases damage taken, extends stun duration, and boosts Stun Damage Multiplier, turning every successful rotation into a large burst window.
In practice this makes Dialyn a quick‑swap off‑field stunner who sets enemies up, hands your DPS free Ultimates, and keeps them locked in extended stun loops. Because her Core Skill scales Impact with Crit Rate and rewards high Crit uptime, her build should focus heavily on Crit while supporting fast EX and Ultimate usage.

Recommended W‑Engines
Dialyn’s best W‑Engines increase her Impact, Crit, and energy regeneration so she can build Daze quickly and loop Get Lost! consistently.
Best‑in‑slot options
- Yesterday Calls (signature):This S‑Rank W‑Engine grants around 24% Crit Rate and significant off‑field energy regeneration, matching Dialyn’s need for high Crit and frequent EX usage. Her EX Special Attacks gain stacks that increase Daze buildup by up to roughly 27%; at three stacks the whole squad receives a large Crit Damage buff for an extended duration, massively boosting team damage during stun.
- Hellfire Gears:This W‑Engine increases Impact and lets EX Special Attacks further boost Impact with stackable uptime, reinforcing her role as a dedicated stunner. It is a strong alternative when you want more raw Daze instead of Crit Rate or already reach comfortable Crit thresholds from gear.
Strong alternatives
- Steam Oven:Steam Oven focuses on Energy Regeneration, converting stored energy into Impact stacks, which pairs well with Dialyn’s frequent EX and Ultimate cycle. It is especially useful if you have weaker Drive Disc Energy sub‑stats or want to ensure Get Lost! and Ultimate are always ready on time.
- Precious Fossilised Core / similar Impact‑oriented A‑ranks:Engines that provide flat Impact and extra Daze when enemies are at higher HP excel in long fights and boss content where you repeatedly break stun thresholds. These options are reliable for players who do not have access to her signature but still want powerful Daze scaling.
When choosing between them, prioritise Yesterday Calls if available, then Hellfire Gears for pure Daze, and finally an Energy Regen A‑rank like Steam Oven if your rotations feel slow.

Best Drive Disc Sets and Stats
Dialyn’s Drive Discs should maximise Crit Rate first, then Crit Damage, Impact, and enough Energy Regen to comfortably sustain her EX and Ultimate loop.
Recommended sets
- 4‑piece King of the Summit + 2‑piece Woodpecker ElectroKing of the Summit is considered her ideal primary set; it increases Crit Damage when her Crit Rate is at or above 50%, a threshold her kit already encourages. The 2‑piece Woodpecker Electro bonus adds Crit Rate, helping her hit that 50% mark more easily and stabilising Impact scaling from her Core Skill.
- 4‑piece King of the Summit + 2‑piece Shockstar DiscoAn alternative mix that trades some Crit Rate for extra Impact, making Daze buildup stronger if you already reach sufficient Crit from other sources. This is useful once you have high‑quality sub‑stats and want to push stun output as far as possible in difficult content.
Other supporting sets like Astral Voice or combinations including Fanged Metal (Physical damage) can work, but King of the Summit remains the most consistently recommended 4‑piece for Dialyn.
Main stat priorities
A commonly recommended main‑stat layout is:
- Slot 4: Crit Rate
- Slot 5: Physical Damage
- Slot 6: Energy Regeneration or Impact
Energy Regeneration on slot 6 helps if you are not using an Energy‑focused W‑Engine or feel that your Ultimate and Get Lost! are not always ready for every stun. If your W‑Engine already covers Energy needs, using Impact on slot 6 pushes Daze further, strengthening her stun windows.
Sub‑stat priorities
For sub‑stats, focus on:
- Crit Rate
- Crit Damage
- Impact
- Attack
Reaching at least 50% Crit Rate is important to fully benefit from King of the Summit’s Crit Damage bonus and to capitalise on how her kit scales Impact with Crit. After that, Crit Damage and Impact become excellent secondary goals, with Attack serving as a final damage increase.
Skill Priority and Leveling
Dialyn’s skills all contribute to her utility, but some provide more impact on Daze and team damage than others.
Recommended skill leveling order
Skilling levels should be ordered by following priority:
- Core Skill: Her Core Skill affects both her stun capability and Stun Damage Multiplier, and often interacts with Crit and debuff mechanics that power up the entire rotation. Upgrading this first gives the largest overall boost to her performance.
- Special Attack / EX Special Attack:Special and EX Special Attacks are central to building Positive Reviews, applying Malicious Complaint, and generating the resources needed for Get Lost!. Higher levels increase both her damage and Daze contribution during the Rock–Scissors–Paper sequences.
- Basic Attack: Dialyn’s combos route back into the fourth hit frequently after dodges, assists, and chained skills, so upgrading Basic Attack adds consistent Daze and damage throughout her loop.
- Chain Attack: Leveling Chain Attack enhances the Daze and damage during forced windows, which is valuable but not as critical as the skills she uses every rotation.
- Assist and Dodge: These provide defensive options and some Daze, yet they are used more situationally, so they can remain lower priority until you have spare materials.
For ascension and skill materials, official and community resources list standard Stun‑type promotion items and Physical‑type skill materials as the key components, alongside Dennies.

Optimal Teams and Role in Combat
Dialyn fits best into lineups where she can feed Ultimates to a strong main DPS and keep enemies stunned for as long as possible.
Team‑building principles
Dialyn works most efficiently when paired with:
- One primary damage dealer (Attack or Rupture Agent) to capitalise on her extended stun windows and Malicious Complaint debuff.
- One additional support or secondary DPS who provides buffs, debuffs, or extra damage during the free Ultimate window she creates.
Pairings with strong Physical or high‑burst Agents are ideal as they benefit the most from her free Ultimates and extended stun duration. Typical rotations have Dialyn enter, quickly build Positive Reviews and apply Malicious Complaint, then use Get Lost! to trigger a Chain Attack, swap to the DPS, and fire their Ultimate during stun.
Example synergy patterns
Examples of effective patterns include:
- Main DPS + Dialyn + general support, where Dialyn ensures every major burst occurs under stun and debuff.
- Physical‑focused squads that exploit her element and Stun Damage Multiplier bonuses more efficiently.
The core idea remains the same regardless of exact characters: Dialyn sets the stage, softens targets with Malicious Complaint, and hands your primary carry multiple Ultimates per cycle.

Basic Rotation Tips
Executing a smooth rotation is crucial to getting value out of Dialyn’s build.
A standard loop often looks like this:
- Enter with Dialyn, using Basic or EX Special Attacks to build Positive Reviews quickly.
- Route her EX sequence through Paper to apply Malicious Complaint and raise the target’s damage taken and stun duration.
- Fill her Review Gauge until Get Lost! becomes available and triggers a Chain Attack window.
- Swap to your main DPS during the Chain Attack and fire their Ultimate for free while the enemy is stunned and debuffed.
- Rotate back to Dialyn as the stun ends to rebuild Positive Reviews and repeat the cycle.
Using this pattern keeps enemies locked down and your primary carry constantly empowered, especially when supported by a Crit‑ and Impact‑focused build.
A well‑built Dialyn turns every encounter in Zenless Zone Zero into a sequence of extended stun windows and high‑impact Ultimate bursts. By prioritising a Crit‑focused setup with King of the Summit, a strong W‑Engine like Yesterday Calls, the right stats, and a dedicated main DPS partner, she becomes one of the most efficient stun specialists available. With proper rotations built around Positive Reviews, Malicious Complaint, and Get Lost!, Dialyn can consistently control fights and significantly raise your team’s overall damage ceiling.
