You face a key decision when equipping Fusion Compiler in Zenless Zone Zero, as its Anomaly-focused boosts make it shine on multiple agents beyond just Grace. This guide breaks down the best recipients, builds, and strategies based on current version 2.5 meta.
Core strengths of Fusion Compiler
This W-Engine thrives on frequent Special or EX Special Attacks, stacking Proficiency to amplify Disorder and Anomaly damage. Its PEN Ratio shreds defenses, making it competitive even against signatures for Electric Anomaly teams. You get reliable ATK scaling without attribute locks, suiting flexible rosters.
Best agents to equip the Fusion Compiler
Prioritize based on your roster gaps—Grace first if built, then Anomaly scalers like Yanagi.
| Agent | Role | Why Fusion Compiler? | BiS Alternative |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grace | Main DPS Anomaly | Signature; perfect synergy with Electric kits and Special spam. | None |
| Yanagi (Tsukishiro Yanagi) | Sub-DPS Anomaly | Excellent PEN and Proficiency match; near-signature performance at high refines. | Timeweaver |
| Miyabi | Main DPS | Solid ATK/Proficiency filler before signature; lacks CR but still viable. | Her signature |
| Burnice | Anomaly | Strong standard-banner backup for builds without signature. | Her signature |
| Jane | Sub-DPS Anomaly | Flexible option for Physical Anomaly without prerequisites. | Her signature |
| Alice | Anomaly | Close to Weeping Gemini; PEN helps in rotations. | Her signature |
How to acquire and upgrade Fusion Compiler
Pull from Star-Studded Cast (standard banner) or exchange 1600 Residual Signals in the shop. Overclock duplicates for refines—R3+ boosts make it rival sigs on Yanagi.
Upgrade materials path

| 40 | Reinforced ×20 | 60,000 |
| 50 | Specialized ×10 | 100,000 |
| 60 | Specialized ×20 | 200,000 |
How to build Grace with Fusion Compiler
Grace maximizes stacks via Electric EX Specials. Pair with Stun like Lycaon and support like Rina for Shock teams.
Step 1
Swap in, Basic Attack 2-3x to build meter.
Step 2
EX Special to apply Shock and gain first Proficiency stack.
Step 3
Special Attack chain for stack 2; Dodge/Parry into EX for stack 3.
Step 4
Ultimate if ready for burst; repeat EX Specials to maintain stacks.
Step 5
Swap out post-stacks; energy regen keeps her looping.
Drive Discs: 4-pc Chaos Jazz + 2-pc Freedom Blues for Proficiency/Electric DMG. Prioritize PEN Ratio > Proficiency > ATK%.
How to optimize Yanagi as secondary user
Yanagi uses Fusion for Polarity Disorder. Equip if no Timeweaver; R3+ closes the gap.
Quick team setup
- Yanagi (Fusion) + Miyabi (sig) + Yuzuha support.
- Drive Discs: Chaos Jazz 4-pc for Anomaly/Electric synergy.
Rewards from investing in Fusion Compiler
No direct quest rewards, but meta gains include top Anomaly uptime in Deadly Assault/Shiyu Defense.
| Refine Level | ATK Boost | Proficiency Max |
|---|---|---|
| R1 | 12% | 75 |
| R5 | 24% | 150 |
Equip Fusion Compiler on Grace for peak performance, or flex to Yanagi/Miyabi to cover Anomaly gaps—its versatility keeps your teams competitive in version 2.5 content.
