Disc Main Stats 6: ATK or Energy Regen

This build maximizes Lucy's supporting capabilities. Focus on increasing her CRIT, ATK, and Energy. Consider increasing her Impact stat as well since Lucy's Guard Boars will inherit it from her.

Since Lucy is a Support character, Swing Jazz is the best 4-piece Drive Disc set for her since it increases her Energy, allowing Lucy to use her Ex Special Attack and activate the Cheer On! status faster. Hormone Punk simply increases her ATK, a stat that affects a lot of Lucy's abilities.

Lucy Skill Priority

Skill Priority Explanation
Zenless Zone Zero - Core Skill Core Skill ★★★★★ Basically, upgrading Lucy's Core Skill further buffs the ATK of her Guard Boars. So, this is a top-priority upgrade as well.
Zenless Zone Zero - Basic AttackBasic Attack ★★★★★ Upgrading Lucy's Basic Attack also upgrades the abilities of her Guard Boars. So, Lucy's Basic Attack should be one of the first abilities you upgrade.
Zenless Zone Zero - DodgeDodge ★★☆☆☆ It is seldomly used by Lucy in combat and upgrading its damage is not that important for Lucy's gameplay.
Zenless Zone Zero - AssistAssist ★★★☆☆ There is no harm in raising Lucy's Assist. But, upgrading it has a lower priority compared to her other abilities.
Zenless Zone Zero - Special AttackSpecial Attack ★★★★★ Upgrade Lucy's Special Attack first since it increases the ATK buff that Cheer On! provides. Also, it increases the DMG and Daze of all of her Special Attack variations.
Zenless Zone Zero - Chain AttackChain Attack ★★★☆☆ While Lucy will use her Chain Attack multiple times, her Ultimate is hardly used for damage.

Lucy must upgrade her Special Attack and Basic Attack equally as they both buff the ATK of her Guard Boars. Then, upgrade her Core Skill whenever you can for additional passive upgrades.

How to Play Lucy

Summon Guard Boars When On-Field

When Lucy switches in, use her Special Attack immediately even if Lucy's Energy has yet to reach the red cursor above her Energy Bar. Doing this allows you to summon 3 Guard Boars on-field and deal damage against enemies.

Guard Boars Attack Enemies

Guard Boars Attacking an Enemy
You do not control the Guard Boars but they have their own set of abilities that scales off Lucy's Basic Attack node. Also, the Guard Boars will remain on-field when switching out.

They will do an enhanced attack if Lucy uses her fourth Basic Attack or when she activates Cheer On! after using her Ex Special Attack.

Two Ways to Activate Special Attack

Special Attack Activation

Press Special Attack Button

Hold Special Attack Button

There are two different ways to activate Lucy's Special Attack and Ex Special Attack. Pressing the Special Attack button allows Lucy to launch the Guard Boars at a straight line and deal damage.

When you hold the Special Attack button, Lucy will instead launch the Guard Boars upwards and deal more damage compared to just pressing the button. Ideally, you want to use her Special Attack by holding the button!

Cancel Special Attack Animation

Lucy's Special Attacks have long animations and enemies might attack her when she uses them. But, they can be shortened if you dodge as soon as Lucy hits a Guard Boar using her bat. Then, you can follow it up with a Dash Attack.

Do note that Lucy is invulnerable while using her Ex Special Attack. So, it is okay not to cancel its animation.

Cheer On! Gives Everyone an ATK Buff

Cheer On! is a team-wide ATK Buff that activates when Lucy uses her Ex Special Attack. The effect lasts longer when you hold the Special Attack button.

With this, aim to fill up Lucy's Energy Bar when on-field using her Basic Attacks. Then, hold the Special Attack button as soon as Lucy's Energy reaches the red cursor above her Energy Bar.

Switch to the Main DPS Immediately

After using Lucy's Ex Special Attack, switch to the team's main damage dealer immediately to take advantage of the ATK buff that Cheer On! provides. As mentioned before, the Guard Boars will remain on-field to assist Lucy's allies.

Lucy's Ultimate Provides Energy

Lucy

Lucy's Ultimate deals massive AoE Fire DMG by launching all of her Guard Boars. More importantly, it provides 10 Energy to all of her allies and additional 20 Energy to the next character switching in.

Unless you really need the Energy, we do not recommend using this ability. Use your Main DPS' Ultimate instead when switching them in to maximize their damage!

Lucy Special Attack Swap Trick

Lucy Swap Trick
Chain Attack with Lucy as the Last Hit → EX Special Attack → Dodge → Special Attack → Quick Assist

Ideally, Lucy should be the last character to hit with a Chain Attack here for this to work. Lucy can fire an EX Special Attack and then press Dodge as soon as she fires her Guard Boars to cancel the animation.

Afterwards, you can fire another Special Attack then Quick Assist to your DPS. This trick is especially useful for closing in on a far away enemy.

Lucy Mindscape Cinema (Duplicates)

Recommended Cinema

Why We Recommend It
M1 ★★★★☆ - Great
Provides Lucy with Energy whenever the Guard Boars use their spinning attack that triggers when Lucy uses her fourth Basic Attack or when she activates the Cheer On! status. This a great upgrade that will allow Lucy to use her Ex Special Attack more frequently.
M2 ★★★★★ - Amazing
This provides another way for Lucy to activate the Cheer On! status by using her Chain Attack or Ultimate. A solid upgrade since it lessens Lucy's field time, allowing the team's stunner and DPS to be on-field most of the time.
M4 ★★★★☆ - Great
This Cinema adds an additional buff to the Cheer On! status, which is a CRIT DMG increase of 10%. A great upgrade since it buffs the overall damage of the team.
M6 ★★★★★ - Amazing
This Cinema drastically increases the duration of Cheer On! when an ally uses their Ex Special Attack. Lucy's Guard Boars will also deal Fire DMG whenever this new mechanic triggers. This is no doubt an amazing upgrade for Lucy.

M3 and M5 are excluded since they are only for skill enhancement.

Mindscape Cinema List and Effects

Cinema Effect
M1 Drill Formations
When the guard boars launch Guard Boars: Spinning Swing!, Lucy recovers 2 Energy. This effect can trigger once every 15s, with each guard boar having its own separate cooldown.
M2 Little Boar Captain
When Lucy uses a Chain Attack or Ultimate, it grants all squad members, Bangboo, and the guard boars the Cheer On! status for 10s.
M3 Ironfist Overseer
Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2
M4 Chaos Ball Game
While in the Cheer On! state, allies' CRIT DMG is increased by an additional 10%.
M5 Wildland Princess
Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2
M6 Fierce Fangs of Fire
When an ally in the Cheer On! state hits an enemy with an EX Special Attack, a guard boar will drop from the sky and cause an explosion, dealing Fire DMG equal to 300% of the guard boar's ATK. This will extend the duration of the Cheer On! buff for all squad members by 5s. The duration can increase up to 3 times, with a maximum duration of 30s. Refreshing the Cheer On! state resets the stack count. After the guard boar's explosion, it will launch Guard Boars: Spinning Swing!.
