Zenless Zone Zero’s Koleda Belobog is a fiery S-rank stun agent, and the feisty young president of Belobog Heavy Industries. She may be small in stature, but don’t you dare look down on her, or you might just find yourself on the explosive end of her giant hammer. So let’s dive into the best ZZZ Koleda build, including w-engines, drive discs, and more.

We’ve also got a list of all the new Zenless Zone Zero codes and Zenless Zone Zero events so you can save up plenty of cash to pull on the next Zenless Zone Zero banner.
Here’s everything you need to know about Zenless Zone Zero’s Koleda.
What’s the best Koleda build?
Koleda is an S-rank agent who dishes out heaps of fire damage through her powerful strike attacks. Her specialty is stun, which means she’s skilled at accumulating daze to quickly stun enemies, allowing her and her allies to unleash heaps of damage without worrying about retaliation.
Koleda’s best W-Engine is her signature S-rank, Hellfire Engine, and her best drive disc set is four pieces of Shockstar Disco and two pieces of Inferno Metal to further capitalize on her stunning abilities and fire damage.
Here’s a brief overview of our best ZZZ Koleda build:
| Best W-Engine | Hellfire Engine |
| Best drive discs | 4pc Shockstar Disco and 2pc Inferno Metal |
| Main stats | Crit (rate or damage) > attack ratio or pen ratio > impact or anomaly mastery |
| Sub-stats | Crit (rate or damage) > pen (only necessary if you have pen ratio) > attack ratio > anomaly proficiency |
If you pair Koleda up with another fire agent or allies from Belobog Heavy Industries, you can activate her special ability. This is super valuable, allowing her to apply a debuff to any enemies she hits with her EX special attack and sees all squad members deal significantly more damage with chain attacks when targeting a stunned foe.
Additionally, we highly recommend pairing her up with Zenless Zone Zero’s Ben, as her unique kit allows her to team up with him when they’re on the same squad.
What’s the best W-engine for Koleda?
The best W-Engine for Koleda is her signature S-rank, Hellfire Gears. It’s tailored specifically to her kit, boosting her energy regen when she’s not on the field and increasing her impact when she uses her EX special attack.
Alternatively, Lycaon’s S-rank W-Engine, The Restrained, also complements Koleda’s kit really well, offering a dramatic boost to the daze she inflicts with her normal attack. This is a great option if you plan to have her on-field for longer periods of time.
If you don’t have Hellfire Gears or The Restrained, Precious Fossilized Core is a strong A-rank option, offering a significant boost to her daze – especially if her HP is at 75% or higher.
| W-engine | Effect |
| Hellfire Gears | While off-field, Koleda’s energy regen increases. When using an EX special attack, Koleda’s impact increases for ten seconds, stacking up to two times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately |
| The Restrained | When an attack hits an enemy, damage and daze from basic attacks increases for eight seconds, stacking up to five times. This effect can only trigger during each skill. The duration of each stack is calculated separately |
| Precious Fossilized Core | When the target’s HP is no lower than 50%, the equipper inflicts more daze to the target. When the target’s HP is no lower than 75%, this bonus increases further |
What are the best drive discs for Koleda?
We recommend equipping Koleda with four pieces of Shockstar Disco and two pieces of Inferno Metal to boost her impact, daze, and fire damage, allowing her to stun her enemies and enable her allies.
Alternatively, you can equip her with four pieces of Inferno Metal and two pieces of Shockstar Disco for a build that focuses on boosting her fire damage instead.
| Drive disc set | Effect |
| Shockstar Disco | Two equipped: increases impact by 6% Four equipped: basic attacks, dash attacks, and dodge counters inflict 20% more daze to the main target |
| Inferno Metal | Two equipped: increases fire damage by 10% Four equipped: upon hitting a burning enemy, the equipper’s crit rate increases by 28% for eight seconds |

Who is Zenless Zone Zero’s Koleda?
Koleda is the fierce young president of Belobog Heavy Industries, a company that specializes in in-hollow construction using smart construction machinery. Previously, Koleda’s father (Khors Belobog) was at the helm, but following his disappearance and a scandal relating to some missing money, Koleda has stepped up to the position.
She may be small and cute – but don’t underestimate her. She has some fierce combat power, and certainly knows how to wield her giant hammer. She prefers to work out in the field rather than being stuck behind a desk, and therefore always leads by example. While mature and stern most of the time, she sometimes struggles to handle her emotions, but her colleagues never fail to take care of her.
Koleda plays an important role in the second chapter of the game, where we learn about the struggles of the company as they take on a large project at the Brant Street construction site.
