What to know
- Koleda is a Fire Stun agent who specializes in building Daze quickly and setting up frequent stuns for your team.

Koleda Belobog is one of the strongest dedicated stun units in Zenless Zone Zero, able to quickly fill Daze gauges and enable devastating Chain Attacks. When you build her correctly, you turn every fight into a loop of frequent stuns and high burst windows that your main DPS can easily exploit.
Koleda’s role and strengths
Koleda is a Fire-element Stun specialist built to rapidly apply Daze and trigger Furnace Fire, greatly amplifying her ability to lock enemies down. Her Core Skill’s Additional Ability further boosts party Chain Attack damage against stunned targets, turning every successful stun into a powerful, team-wide damage window.
Because Koleda prioritizes control over raw DPS, she shines best alongside a dedicated damage dealer. By constantly setting up stuns and safe openings, she becomes invaluable in tougher content where crowd control, survivability, and consistency matter more than pure speed-clearing.
How to choose the best W-Engines for Koleda
Choosing the right W-Engine determines whether Koleda excels at EX spam, steady Daze pressure, or overall team utility. In most cases, you’ll want to prioritize options that boost Impact and Energy Regen, as both directly increase her stun consistency and EX Special uptime, letting her control fights more reliably.
Recommended W-Engines for Koleda
- S — Hellfire Gears:
Koleda’s signature W-Engine. Boosts Fire DMG and Impact almost constantly, greatly enhancing her Enhanced Basic and EX Special attacks. - A — Precious Fossilized Core:
Provides an Impact sub-stat and increases Daze inflicted, making it a perfect fit for her stun-focused playstyle. - A — Six Shooter:
Increases Impact for Enhanced attacks, with additional stats that further improve Impact for consistent Daze pressure. - A — Steam Oven:
Offers Energy Regen as a sub-stat and boosts Impact based on remaining Energy, synergizing well with frequent EX usage. - A — [Vortex] Arrow:
Provides consistent Impact and Daze bonuses, making it a solid all-round option if other choices aren’t available. - B / Budget — Any Impact-focused Stun W-Engine:
Use any weapon that boosts Impact or Daze until you obtain one of the recommended options.
For most players, Hellfire Gears is the best choice if available, while Precious Fossilized Core and Six Shooter are excellent A-rank alternatives. Steam Oven is especially strong if you value higher EX uptime and smoother rotations.
How to build Koleda’s Drive Discs and stats
Koleda’s Drive Discs should prioritize Impact and Energy Regen, while maintaining enough offensive stats to deal meaningful damage during stun windows. Sets that enhance Daze, Fire damage, or Energy further improve her ability to lock down enemies and create openings for follow-up burst attacks.
Best Drive Disc sets for Koleda
| Slot setup | Set | Pieces | Effect and usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main set | Shockstar Disco | 4-pc | Increases Impact and Daze dealt, directly accelerating stuns and perfectly matching her kit. |
| Secondary | Swing Jazz | 2-pc | Boosts Energy Regen so she can cast EX Special attacks more often and stack Furnace Fire faster. |
| Alternative | Freedom Blues | 2-pc | Enhances Fire/Anomaly effects as she builds both Daze and Fire Anomaly, adding damage and utility. |
| Alternative | King of the Summit | 2-pc | Provides team Crit Damage buffs while she is stunning enemies, improving burst during stun windows. |
Recommended main stats and substats
For substats, prioritize Impact and Energy Regen first, followed by Crit Damage, Crit Rate, and ATK%. This balance maximizes Koleda’s stun efficiency while boosting her damage during stun windows, keeping her responsive in combat and rewarding smart offensive gear investment.
| Slot | Main stat recommendation | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Body) | ATK% or Impact% (if available) | Boosts overall damage and Daze output. |
| 2 (Legs) | Impact% or Energy Regen% | Choose based on whether you prefer faster stuns or higher EX uptime. |
| 3 (Disk 5-type) | Energy Regen% or ATK% | Energy Regen is especially valuable due to EX-focused gameplay. |
| 4 (Disk 6-type) | Crit Rate / Crit DMG / ATK% | Add these after core Impact and Energy needs are covered. |
Koleda skill upgrade priority
Special Attack / EX Special (★★★★★)
Upgrade these first, since these are used most frequently and significantly boost both damage and Daze, forming the core of her rotation.
Basic Attack (★★★★☆)
Enhances damage and Daze for her regular and Enhanced attacks, which she uses constantly.
Core Skill (★★★★☆)
Improves her stun-focused playstyle and boosts team Chain Attack damage against stunned enemies.
Chain Attack / Ultimate (★★★★☆)
Increases damage and Daze during burst windows; effectiveness depends on overall rotation.
Dodge / Assist Skills (★★★☆☆)
Useful situationally, but less critical than her main Daze tools for most content.
How to use Koleda’s skills and combos
Koleda’s gameplay revolves around building Daze quickly while maintaining Furnace Fire stacks, then tagging out to DPS allies to maximize Chain Attacks and ultimates.
Standard daze buildup
Basic 1 → 2 → EX Special → Dash Attack → Enhanced Basic 1 → 2
Great for early Daze buildup while keeping Furnace Fire stacks active.
Energy-focused rotation
Basic 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → EX Special → Enhanced Basic 1 → 2
More efficient for total Energy gain, but slightly less efficient for Daze per second.
Defensive stun setup
Defensive Assist → Assist Follow-up → Enhanced Basic 1 → 2
Quick defensive rotation that maintains Daze and controls enemy attacks.
Extended defensive pressure
Defensive Assist → Assist Follow-up → Enhanced Basic 1 → 2 → EX Special → Enhanced Basic 1 → 2
Combines defensive and offensive tools for sustained Daze and Furnace Fire management.
Counter punish combo
Dodge Counter → Basic 3 → 4 → EX Special → Enhanced Basic 1 → 2
Efficient for punishing enemy attacks while keeping Furnace Fire active.
Furnace fire preservation
Enhanced Basic 1 → 2 → EX Special → Enhanced Basic 1 → 2
Ideal when Furnace Fire has been preserved from a previous chain attack.
Mindscape 2 boss stun rotation
Basic 1 → 2 (or Dodge Counter) → EX Special → Enhanced Basic 1 → 2 → EX Special → Enhanced Basic 1 → 2
Can stun nearly every boss from 0 to 100% Daze, except Nineveh.
Pro Tip: Rotate Koleda back in whenever stuns wear off to maintain constant crowd control, and time EX Specials and Furnace Fire stacks to maximize Chain Attack and ultimate damage.
How to build the best Koleda teams
Koleda works well in many team setups, but she truly shines with partners who turn her stuns into full-scale burst windows. Fire-heavy lineups and comps that exploit Disorder Anomaly with Electro or other effects are especially effective.
Core team archetypes for Koleda
- Premium Fire–Disorder
Members: Soldier 11 (Attack), Koleda (Stun), Grace (Anomaly)
Playstyle: Koleda and Soldier 11 maintain constant Fire, while Grace applies Shock to trigger Disorder Anomaly, creating massive team-wide burst damage. - Fire Bruiser Core
Members: Soldier 11, Koleda, Ben
Playstyle: Koleda focuses on stuns, Soldier 11 handles main damage, and Ben boosts both damage and survivability, enhancing Koleda’s Ultimate. - F2P Early-Game
Members: Koleda, Ben, Corin
Playstyle: Corin provides single-target DPS, while Koleda and Ben quickly build the Daze bar, making this a strong and accessible early-game team. - Flexible Stun Comp
Members: Any Attack DPS, Koleda, Support/Anomaly
Playstyle: Koleda is the main stunner; the third slot can be customized based on stage requirements or preferred units.
In Fire–Disorder teams, Koleda builds Daze and Burn, while Grace triggers Disorder for huge damage. When paired with Ben, her Ultimate benefits from higher damage and Daze multipliers, emphasizing synergy between Belobog Heavy Industries members.
Suggested Bangboo choices:
- Avocaboo (Generalist + Support):
Well-rounded support that adds survivability and utility, commonly used in F2P Koleda teams. - Rocketboo (Fire Damage Focus):
Provides strong Fire AoE damage with its Active Skill, complementing Koleda’s Fire stuns. - Bagboo (Utility):
Offers extra supportive effects that help smooth rotations and enhance team flexibility. - Cryboo (Control / Utility):
Adds additional crowd control or situational utility in specific stages.
Mix and match Bangboo depending on whether you need extra damage, safety, or utility, though Avocaboo and Rocketboo generally cover most general needs around Koleda.
