All W-Engine (Weapon) Guides

Housekeeper is the Best for Corin

Housekeeper is an A Rank W-Engine and is the best for Corin since it buffs her Physical DMG and also provides Energy Regen when she is off-field.

Corin Skill Priority

Skill Priority Explanation
Zenless Zone Zero - Basic AttackBasic Attack ★★★☆☆ Corin's Basic Attack does not deal as much damage as her Special Attack, so this takes medium priority. Always go for her Special Attack in rotations.
Zenless Zone Zero - DodgeDodge ★★★☆☆ Sometimes used by Corin in combat, so her Dodge is a medium-priority upgrade.
Zenless Zone Zero - AssistAssist ★★★☆☆ There is no harm in raising Corin's Assist. But, upgrading it has a lower priority compared to her Special Attack and other abilities.
Zenless Zone Zero - Special AttackSpecial Attack ★★★★★ Corin's Special Attack is the ability that you will mostly use. So, upgrade this one first.
Zenless Zone Zero - Chain AttackChain Attack ★★★★ Allows Corin to deal massive Physical DMG using Corin's Ultimate and Chain Attack. This is another high-priority upgrade for Corin.
Zenless Zone Zero - Core Skill Core Skill ★★★★ The DMG of Corin's continuous extended slash attack with her chainsaw increases whenever this gets upgraded. So, upgrade this after Corin's Special Attack.

Corin's kit revolves around dealing as much damage as possible with her Special Attacks whenever it is up, so upgrade it first. I you have extra materials, aim to upgrade her Chain Attack as it deals a good deal of damage in team rotations. Lastly, upgrade the Core Skill to get a great passive that increases her CRIT DMG and improves her skill's damage.

How to Play Corin

Extend Corin's Chainsaw Attacks

All of Corin's abilities can be extended when you repeatedly press or hold down their respective buttons. This is done to deal more damage against enemies.

For Corin's Basic Attack chain, we recommend just spamming the Basic Attack button instead of holding it down during the 3rd and 5th Basic Attack to consistently land the extended chainsaw slash attacks!

Use Corin Against Stunned Enemies

Corin Switch in Combo
Chain Attack → Ex Special Skill → Ultimate
(Hold down the abilities' buttons to extend them)

If the Additional Ability of Corin's Core Skill is active, she deals more damage against Stunned enemies. Do note that this effect will only activate if at least one member of the team is a Physical or Victoria Housekeeping Co. unit.

So, the ideal rotation, when Corin is on the team, is for her to switch in through a Chain Attack when the enemy is stunned. Then, use her Ex Special Attack and Ultimate!

Not Effective Against Multiple Enemies

Nicole

While Corin is a great DPS to use against a single target, she is not the ideal DPS to use in a situation where there are multiple enemies since most of her abilities force her to stand still. With this, she may not be able to hit a lot of enemies at once.

But, if you have a character that can group up enemies like Nicole, you can use them to gather enemies first before Corin switches in!

Corin Is a Glass Cannon Due to Her Low HP

Compared to other Agents, Corin has a low HP and DEF stat. So, it is not a good idea for Corin to be on the field when fighting against multiple enemies who are not yet stunned by her allies.

Corin's Oopsy Daisy Unleashed (a better Dash attack exclusively in Lost Void) makes you ride a Chainsaw-bike mode attack. This makes Corin gameplay even more fun playstyle, but i do wanted this move in ALL modes (Shiyu, Tower etc)

Corin deserves a good spot in tier 0 her ex skill is satisfying to hit.Those numbers speak for themselves
