Anime Zero Best Build: Weapons, Crit Caps and Gear
A build in Anime Zero is five layers: two weapons, a trait and enchant on each, skill tree tokens, accessories and a title. Here is how to stack them after the October 4 crit rework and the October 5 raid update.
The caps that shape every build
| Stat | Cap or value |
|---|---|
| Crit chance | 60% cap |
| Crit damage | 200% base, 275% cap |
| Cooldown reduction | 40% cap |
| Skill tree crit nodes | 3% / 6% / 10% / 15% |
| Boss Slayer title | +2% crit chance |
| Boss Reaper title | +8% crit damage |
Every crit-chance point past 60% is wasted, so fill chance first, then move to crit damage. These numbers come from the October 4 patch notes as copied by two fan wikis.
Build 1: raid damage (Bath House)
- Weapons: Cursed King + Immortal Sovereign (+10% damage pair). Cursed King’s invincibility frames carry you through No Face’s spikes.
- Enchant: Power on Cursed King.
- Trait: one of the October 4 crit traits (Razor Focus, Overkill, Sniper, Deadeye).
- Skill tree: Attack first, then Crit to the cap, a point or two in Defense if you keep losing lives.
- Title: Boss Slayer or Boss Reaper.
Build 2: wave clear (Infinite, Story farming)
- Weapons: Paramita Pyre (Hu Tao) + any Mythic, or Dragon Eclipse + Lights of Divinity (+5% damage, +8% health).
- Why: Hu Tao’s burning multi-hits and Guts’s evolved ultimate clear packs fastest; Infinite pays every wave since October 4, so clear speed is money.
- Skill tree: Attack and Speed; cooldown reduction until 40%.
Build 3: new account
- Weapons: King’s Gambit + Twisted Agony (+20% ultimate charge) until your first Mythic.
- Enchant: Power. Tokens: the first Attack node.
- Accessory: any damage piece from crafting.
Swap rhythm
Swapping with T gives the incoming weapon +20% damage for 4 seconds. Open with one weapon’s skills, swap, and fire the other weapon’s burst inside that window. This costs nothing and is the most-missed damage source in launch videos.
Accessories
Crafted accessories add damage, health, coins, cooldown reduction, XP or movement speed. Reported strong picks: Crown for raw damage, Blast Archer Wings for damage plus drop rate, and Sunglasses for +3% damage and +11% crit chance, which helps hit the 60% cap early. See crafting.
What not to do
- Do not stack crit chance from every source and ignore crit damage.
- Do not leave your second slot empty; you lose the swap bonus and synergy.
- Do not spend all your Trait Rerolls on a placeholder weapon. Read the traits guide first.
Noted. Good luck on your next pull.
