Heartstring Nocturne is the signature weapon of Evelyn, one of the Agents you can play as in Zenless Zone Zero. This also means that Evelyn is the primary recommended Agent to use this W-Engine.

The recommended agents for this W-Engine are arranged from most to least recommended.

Heartstring Nocturne is a plausible option for any Attack Agent due to its massive CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG boosts, but it works best with Fire Attack Agents due to its Fire RES bypass.

Evelyn is the best Agent to equip this W-Engine on, but it can also be an excellent option for Soldier 11 and Orphie and Magus.

Heartstring Nocturne Dazzling Melody

Heartstring Nocturne had its latest rerun in the Dazzling Melody W-Engine Banner during Phase 2 of Version 2.2, which ran from September 24, 2025 to October 14, 2025, alongside Evelyn's Rerun Banner.

This banner has since ended. Since this is an exclusive S-Rank W-Engine, Proxies may not get this anywhere else. A rerun of it may occur sometime in the near future, so stay tuned for more updates!
