Zenless Zone Zero Lycaon guide: Best W-Engines, Drive Discs, and more

With the Zenless Zone Zero Lycaon guide, you will be able to bring out the Agent's maximum combat potential. A wolf-turned-S-Rank Agent, Lycaon is one of the many characters you would want to use when facing off against the hollows in New Eridu. He has a brawl-type playstyle, which makes him extremely efficient at close-range combat. While the unit is renowned for being a rational member of Victoria Housekeeping, he does not get enough credit for his strong Ice damage output.

Zenless Zone Zero Lycaon: Best Drive Discs

Equipping the proper Drive Discs will bolster the combat potential of Lycaon. You need the best enhancements to empower his attacks, considering there's no co-op support in Zenless Zone Zero, which means taking the help of an outsider is off the table.

That said, this Agent has a couple of options to choose from, but a combination of Shockstar Disco and Polar Metal will benefit him the most. Here are their details:

Shockstar Disco	The two-piece bonus grants 6% Impact to the wielder. When the complete set is equipped, the entire party receives a 20% ATK boost for 10 seconds when an enemy is stunned.
Polar Meta	This is his two-piece set, which provides 10% Ice DMG.

Drive Discs stat priorities for Lycaon

Slot 4	Crit Rate/Crit DMG/Anomaly Proficiency
Slot 5	Ice DMG
Slot 6	Impact

Lycaon needs the extra Impact to efficiently stagger enemies. The attack boost and elemental damage bonus also complements his overall kit.

W-Engines are basically weapons you need to equip Lycaon with to boost his raw power. The Restrained is by far his best pick in the game, and it belongs to the S-Rank. Listed below are its stats and passive:

Base ATK	684
Impact	18
Passive	Increases Ice DMG by 25% during combat. When the wearer’s Basic ATK deals Ice damage, their skill deals 15% extra damage and Daze.

Lycaon can particularly use the extra Daze to his advantage, being able to constantly stun his opponents with his abilities. Alternatively, you can use the Precious Fossilized Core, which offers the following stats:

Base ATK	595
Impact	15
Passive	When the wearer’s attacks enemies with above or equal to 70% HP, they inflict 15% more Daze

The following Bangboos work best for Lycaon:

Sharkboo (S-Rank)	Plants a trap which bites, tears, and summons torpedoes. This deals Ice DMG and inflicts massive Ice Anomaly Buildup. Also buffs Ice character when there are two of them in the party.
Butler (S-Rank)	Creates a snack that will generate energy for the receiving Agent. The active skill generates an additional 20% Energy when there is a Victoria Housekeeping Co. character in the squad.
