Zenless Zone Zero Version 2.6 introduces the S-Rank Angels of Delusion idols — Sunna and Aria. Their unique kits, powerful buffs, and synergy potential have shaken up the meta. Whether you’re free-to-play (F2P) or invested, this guide breaks down optimal builds, rotations, and team compositions to help you dominate missions and endgame content like Hollow Zero and Shiyu Defense.
Sunna & Aria: Character Overview
| Character | Role & Faction | Core Mechanics |
|---|---|---|
| Sunna | S-Rank Physical Support (Angels of Delusion) | Off-field enabler applying Cat's Gaze debuff, boosting ATK & Stun Damage for allies. Ideal for buffing main DPS and sustaining team energy. |
| Aria | S-Rank Ether Anomaly DPS (Angels of Delusion) | Sustained damage dealer focused on Charge Attacks. Damage scales when enemies are under an Attribute Anomaly, triggering Abloom for massive bonus damage. |
Sunna excels at enhancing your team’s overall damage output, while Aria focuses on bursting enemies with Ether/Anomaly synergy. Together, they form a potent duo, but both can function independently.

Sunna’s Playstyle
Primarily off-field support
Use EX Special Attack to apply team ATK buffs and deploy Ether Veil
Summons Bubblegum and Cat's Gaze debuff to enhance main DPS damage

Skill Rotations & Combat Tips
Sunna Rotation
Use EX Special: Bubblegum Barrage to buff ATK and summon Bubblegum
Activate Special Photography Technique for Ether Veil deployment
Swap to DPS (Aria/Billy) to trigger Cat's Gaze bonus
Use Ultimate when available for extra damage and energy generation
Aria Rotation
Build Support Energy with Basic/Special attacks
Perform Charged Attacks when enemies are under an Anomaly for Abloom bonus
Execute Moment of Delusion for burst
Continue alternating Charged → Basic → Ultimate cycles
Tip: Timing Aria’s Charge Attacks with debuffs from Sunna or teammates maximizes Abloom damage output.
Pull Strategy & Banner Planning
Sunna appears Phase 1, Aria appears Phase 2
Best approach: focus pulls on one banner to guarantee soft pity (90 pulls) or hard pity (180 pulls)
Prioritize Sunna if you need long-term buffs/support; Aria if you need immediate DPS output
Save Polychromes for signature W-Engines and Drive Discs for early investment
