Zenless Zone Zero’s Evelyn is a highly coveted S-Rank agent capable of vanquishing enemies with her lightning-fast moves and strong skill sets. She is an Attack specialist from the Fire roster, whom players would want to use as the primary DPS. But first, they must build Evelyn properly with a compatible W-Engine to make the most of her kit.
In that regard, the game features a few S-Rank and A-Rank options, so summoning her signature weapon isn’t at all necessary. This guide further discusses the best W-Engines for Evelyn in ZZZ.

To achieve the best Evelyn build in Zenless Zone Zero, use the Heartstring Nocturne, which serves as her signature W-Engine. It rolls with a CRIT Rate substat and grants a whopping 50% CRIT DMG to the wearer via the passive.
Additionally, the equipper generates a Heartstring stack after entering the battlefield or activating a Chain Attack or Ultimate. Each stack of the effect will cause Evelyn's Chain Attack and Ultimate to ignore 12.5% of the target's Fire RES. Given the powerful passive and secondary stat, the Heartstring Nocturne will improve her damage throughout the combat.
2) The Brimstone
