Zenless Zone Zero – Pulchra build and promotion guide

Strike it rich with the best Zenless Zone Zero Pulchra build and find an employer who finally recognizes your talents. Pulchra is a Stun Agent dealing Physical DMG and comes with some handy effects to buff the efficiency of certain other characters.

Pulchra’s kit is pretty straightforward for the most part and largely revolves around the Hunter’s Gait state. She enters Hunter’s Gait when using an EX Special Attack, Assist Follow-Up, Chain Attack, or Ultimate and thereby increases the Daze inflicted by all of her attacks. If she’s getting swapped out during Hunter’s Gait, the effect will remain until she’s back on the field. Landing a heavy attack on enemies during Hunter’s Gait triggers the previous character’s Quick Assist.

Pulchra’s kit comes with some off-field elements in the form of her Special Attack: Rending Claw - Nightmare Shadow. When she’s in Hunter’s Gait and the active character lands a hit on an enemy with their Special Attack or EX Special Attack, Pulchra makes a Follow-Up Attack dealing Physical DMG counting as Aftershock DMG for each subsequent hit the active Agent lands.

• Full Name: Pulchra Fellini
• Role: Stun
• Damage Type: Physical
• Faction: Sons of Calydon
• Rarity: A-Rank

Pairing her up with an Attack Agent or any character from the Sons of Calydon allows Pulchra to inflict Binding Trap on enemies hit by her Special Attack: Rending Claw - Nightmare Shadow, EX Special Attack, Assist Follow-Up, Chain Attack, or Ultimate for 15 seconds. Binding Trap boosts the Aftershock DMG dealt to this target by all party members.

Pulchra’s Mindscape Cinema, which can be filled out by obtaining additional copies of her, offers further boosts. Level 1 increases her own CRIT Rate when attacking enemies with Binding Trap, Level 2 buffs her own ATK while she’s in Hunter’s Gait. Level 4 reduces the Energy cost of her EX Special Attack and Level 6 increases the damage dealt by her Follow-Up Attacks on top raising the amount of Follow-Up Attacks she can make. Furthermore, the damage boost from Binding Trap is expanded to all types of damage.

Zenless Zone Zero – Pulchra: best teams

Pulchra is a robust Stun Agent in general, but is especially useful to support teams that deal a lot of Aftershock DMG or have a Main DPS with high field-time requirements.

• Soldier 0 - Anby (Main DPS), Pulchra (Sub DPS), Astra Yao (Support)
• Bangboo: Plugboo

Pulchra is a fantastic budget Stun Agent for Soldier 0 - Anby, if Trigger isn’t available. Her buff to Aftershock DMG maximizes Soldier 0’s DPS and Pulchra largely stays out of her way. Astra Yao fits into the picture perfectly as another character who largely keeps herself off the field.

• Burnice (Main DPS), Pulchra (Sub DPS), Caesar (Support)
• Bangboo: Red Moccus

Likewise, Pulchra is a solid alternative to Lighter on a Sons of Calydon team. Caesar shields her allies and debuffs enemies, while Pulchra stuns targets from off the field. Burnice deals most of the party’s damage, causing powerful Attribute Anomalies.
