Here’s everything you need to know about Zenless Zone Zero’s Corin:
What’s the best Corin build?
Corin is an A-rank attack character who deals physical slashing damage with her scythe-slash-multitool. Despite her intense anxiety, she can still pack a punch in battle.
Corin’s best W-Engine is Steel Cushion, and her ideal drive disc combination is a four-piece set of Woodpecker Electro with a two-piece set of Fanged Metal. Focus on increasing her crit rate, crit damage, and attack ratio for the best results.
| Best W-Engine | Steel Cushion |
| Best drive disc | Four-piece Woodpecker Electro and two-piece Fanged Metal |
| Main stats | Crit rate = crit damage > attack ratio > anomaly mastery |
| Sub-stats | Crit rate = crit damage > attack ratio > anomaly proficiency > attack > pen |
You can also increase Corin’s damage by having another physical agent in your squad or teaming up with another member of Victoria Housekeeping. We recommend picking Zenless Zone Zero’s Lycaon as his stun abilities synergize with Corin’s additional ability, giving her an easy damage buff.
What are Corin’s best W-Engines?
Steel Cushion is Corin’s best W-Engine thanks to its huge physical damage buffs. This is Zenless Zone Zero Nekomata‘s signature S-Rank engine and it’s a great fit for any physical attack agent.
While it’s slightly less powerful, Housekeeper is Corin’s signature A-Rank W-Engine, so it’s tailored to her kit, increasing her physical damage and recharging energy. If you don’t have either of these, any attack specialty W-Engine works, such as Starlight Engine or Cannon Rotor.
| W-Engine | Effect |
| Steel Cushion | Increases physical damage. Corin’s damage additionally increases by a set percentage when attacking the enemy from behind. |
| Housekeeper | While off-field, Corin’s energy regeneration increases. When an EX special attack hits an enemy, Corin’s physical damage increases, stacking up to 15 times and lasting one second. Repeated triggers reset the duration. |
| Starlight Engine | Launching a dodge counter or quick assist increases Corin’s attack for 12 seconds. |
| Cannon Rotor | Increases Corin’s attack. Attacks that land a critical hit on an enemy inflict an additional 200% of Corin’s attack as damage. This can trigger once every eight seconds. |
What are the best drive discs for Corin?
As a general rule, we recommend giving Corin a four-piece set of Woodpecker Electro paired with two pieces of Fanged Metal. This increases her crit rate and physical damage while also buffing her attack each time she lands a crit.
If you’re struggling with pen or you’re running a team that inflicts assault, try using a four-piece set of Fanged Metal with a two-piece set of Puffer Electro.
| Drive discs | Effect |
| Woodpecker Electro | Two equipped: Increases crit rate by 8% Four equipped: Triggering a critical hit with a basic attack, dodge counter, or EX special attack increases Corin’s attack by 9% for six seconds. The buff duration for different skills is calculated separately. |
| Fanged Metal | Two equipped: Increases physical damage by 10% Four equipped: Whenever a squad member inflicts assault on an enemy, Corin deals 35% additional damage to the target for 12 seconds. |
| Puffer Electro | Two equipped: Increases pen ratio by 8% Four equipped: not applicable. |

What is the best Corin team composition?
Corin is plenty strong on her own, but she also belongs to Victoria Housekeeping, a faction that’s full of other strong agents. If you pair her with other members of the faction like Lycaon, Rina, or Ellen, you can trigger her bonus effect. In this case, it’s best to use the Butler Bangboo.
If you have him, Lycaon is a must-pick for Corin teams as he can stun enemies to trigger her additional damage buff. However, as a strong physical attacker, she’s able to slot into a bunch of free-to-play teams as
