Everything you need to know about Ellen from Zenless Zone Zero is provided below: Which Ellen build is the best?
Ellen is an S-rank agent that uses slash attacks to deal ice attribute damage. With her attack specialization, she can do a lot of damage with a single assault, which enables her to build up damage quickly and finish fights quickly.
Ellen's favorite W-Engine is her custom S-rank Deep Sea Visitor, which fits her kit like a glove.
Regarding drive discs, we advise fitting her with two Woodpecker Electro and four Polar Metal pieces. to increase her crit rate and benefit from her potent ice damage.

Ellen may also utilize her extra ability to increase her ice damage if you place her in a team with agents that have the same characteristic as her (ice) or with her buddies from Victoria Housekeeping. As a result, we advise combining her with
Lycaon and
Soukaku from Zenless Zone Zero.
Which W-Engines are Ellen's best?
Ellen's go-to S-rank Deep Sea Visitor is her greatest W-Engine. With no prerequisites, it gives her a good boost to both her crit rate and ice damage. It's particularly designed to fit her kit, and it also increases her crit rate when she performs her basic or dash attack.In the event that you lack Deep Sea Visitor, The Brimstone serves as a respectable substitute S-rank. She gains a significant increase in attack ratio from it, and because Ellen travels rapidly, maintaining the stacks is not too difficult.If you're searching for an A-rank alternative, we suggest giving Ellen the Cannon Rotor, which increases her attack ratio and crit rate and lets her do a lot more damage when she strikes a critical hit.

Which drive disks work best for Ellen?
Four pieces of Polar Metal, which increase Ellen's ice damage as well as the damage from her basic and dash attacks, make up the greatest driving disc set. She also receives a very useful additional damage increase if any member of her team deals freeze or shatter.
To further increase her crit rate, we advise pairing this with two pieces of Woodpecker Electro.Alternatively, you may equip her with two pieces of Polar Metal and four pieces of Woodpecker Electro to boost her crit rate and ice damage, as well as provide her with a great attack benefit anytime she uses her EX special attack, dodge counter, or basic attack to provoke a crit hit.
