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

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

Spectral Gaze is an excellent W-Engine due to its increase in CRIT Rate, allowing for easy DPS/Stun hybrid builds, as well as its massive DEF shred on targets, and its passive effect that grants immense amounts of Impact.

Its down-side, however, is that it specifically requires dealing Electric DMG via Aftershocks. Hence, Trigger is the only Agent recommended to wield this W-Engine, at least for now.

How to Get Spectral Gaze

Rerun in Version 2.2 Phase 1

Vibrant Resonance 2.2 Phase 1

Spectral Gaze had its rerun in the Vibrant Resonance W-Engine Banner in Phase 1 of Version 2.2, which ran from September 4 to September 24, 2025, alongside Trigger's Rerun Banner. This banner has since ended.

Since this is an exclusive W-Engine, Proxies cannot get it by any other means. Another rerun of it may occur sometime in the future, so stay tuned for more updates!
