ULTIMATE Burnice White Guide! [Builds, W-Engines, Teams, and MORE]

Burnice White is a S-Rank Fire Anomaly character and the first Fire Anomaly character in Zenless Zone Zero. Burnice White is a member of the Sons of Calydon faction. She is set to be released in the second half of patch 1.2 of Zenless Zone Zero. Burnice White is an off-field D.P.S. character, unlike other Anomaly characters who are on-field D.P.S.s. Burnice White does not buff on-field characters, so she is not an off-field buffer and purely an off-field D.P.S.

Burnice White’s normal attack, Blazing Direct Attack, deals physical and fire damage. Burnice White’s long press normal attack, blazing flames, requires her to be in the fuel special state and deals fire damage while she spins around, spraying flames. It consumes Ignition Points up to 35 and increases the anti-interruption level. Special Attack, Scorching Ripening, causes fire damage when tapping, and long-pressing increases its power with an anti-interruption level. Enhanced special attack, Burning Swing: long-pressing the button deals fire damage; continuously pressing the button consumes energy and extends the duration of the fire spray. The anti-interruption level is increased, and damage received is reduced by 40%. Side dodges and flame shocks make Burnice White invincible during those animations. Burning Swing Double uses two jets to spray flames instead of one jet. The effects of Burning Swing Double are the same as those of Burning Swing. Dodging makes Burnice White invincible; dash attack deal fire damage; and dodge counterattacks spray flames and make her invincible. Combo Skill, Fuel Molten Flame, sprays flames, and a flame shock deals fire damage, and Burnice White is invincible. The finishing move, Flame Rush, sprays flames on a large area, dealing fire damage. Support techniques: spray flames and attack the enemy. Her core passive, fuel tuning, makes it so that when she consumes energy, she accumulates ignition points. The only way to consume energy is by using her EX Special Attacks, Burning Swing, or Burning Swing Double. At 50 ignition points, Burnice White enters the Fuel Special State, and in this state, her fire damage is increased by 15%. When an ally on the field attacks an enemy, the Embers effect is triggered, dealing damage equal to 150% of Burnice White’s attack. So, Burnice White applies fire damage off-field every 1.5 seconds. Burnice White takes the qualities of Grace and Rina, but for Burn, and she applies them off-field. Burnice White’s additional ability, Spark a Prairie Fire, requires her to have either abnormal teammates or sons of Calydon teammates, which increases the accumulated fire attribute abnormality value of her basic attack and EX Special Attack by 75%. Additionally, the duration of any burn effects is increased by 3 seconds.

For Burnice White’s ability priority, first level her special attack, second level her chain attack, third level her basic attack, and lastly, level either her dodge or assist.

For Burnice White’s W-Engine options, obviously her signature W-Engine is her best. Its effect is that while off-field, Burnice White’s energy regeneration increases by 0.6 per second. When an EX Special Attack hits an enemy, Burnice White’s deals 3.6% more damage to the target for 6 seconds, stacking up to 10 times. This effect can trigger once every 0.3 seconds, and repeated triggers reset the duration. It has 90 Anomaly Proficiency as its base stat. An A-Rank W-Engine option is Roaring Ride, which is Piper’s signature W-Engine. Roaring Ride’s effect is that when Burnice White’s EX Special Attack hits an enemy, one of three effects is triggered: increase Burnice White’s attack by 12.8%, increase Burnice White’s Anomaly Proficiency by 64, or increase Burnice White’s Anomaly Buildup Rate by 40%. Roaring Ride’s base stats are 624 attack and 25% attack percent. The values mentioned are for W-Engine Upgrade 5. Another A-Rank W-Engine option is Rainforest Gourmet. Its effect at W-Engine Upgrade 5 is to increase Burnice White’s attack by 4% for 10 seconds, for a maximum of 10 stacks for every 10 energy she consumes. Rainforest Gourmet’s base stats are 594 attack and 75 anomaly proficiency. A B-Rank W-Engine option is Magnetic Storm Charlie, which generates Burnice White 5.5 energy when a teammate inflicts an attribute anomaly on an enemy.

For Burnice White’s drive disc set options, obviously, her signature drive disc set is her best. Its two-piece effect is that anomaly proficiency is increased by 30. Its 4-piece effect increases fire damage by 15%. When not on the field, EX Special Attack damage increases by 25%. This effect lasts for 5 seconds after the character enters the field. A two-piece combination of Freedom Blues and Inferno Metal could probably work. Freedom Blues’ two-piece effect is to increase anomaly proficiency by 30. Inferno Metal’s two-piece effect is to increase fire damage by 10%.

or drive disc 4, use either a critical rate or a critical damage main stat. Alternatively, use an Anomaly Proficiency main stat for disc 4. For drive disc 5, use a fire damage percent main stat. For drive disc 6, use either an energy regeneration percent main stat or an attack percent main stat. Alternatively, use an Anomaly Mastery main stat for disc 6.

For drive disc substats, prioritize anomaly proficiency, or critical rate, and critical damage equally, up to a 1 to 2 crit ratio, then attack percent, and lastly penetration.

Burnice White’s recommended endgame stats at level 60 are two thousand eight hundred attack, nine thousand five hundred H.P., eight hundred defense, sixty percent critical rate, one hundred twenty percent critical damage, one hundred sixteen Anomaly Mastery, and three hundred fifty Anomaly Proficiency.

For Bangboo options, you can use the A-Rank Cryboo, which deals fire damage and inflicts fire anomaly buildup. Alternatively, you can use the S-Rank Rocketboo, which also deals fire damage and inflicts fire anomaly buildup.

A Burnice White team could be herself, Jane Doe, and Seth Lowell. Another team could be herself, Jane Doe, and Lucy. Burnice White activates Jane Doe’s core passive, Insight, by triggering assault on an enemy in the gnawed state. To maximize Seth Lowell, you want to ensure that his additional ability, high spirit, is active, and that requires a character on your team to be of the same attribute or faction as him. So, either an electric character or a Criminal Investigation Special Response Team character. Jane Doe can be replaced with Grace if you are running Seth Lowell on a team with Burnice White to keep his additional ability, High Spirit, active. For a team with Burnice White and Lucy, Jane Doe can be replaced with Piper because both Piper and Lucy are part of the Sons of Calydon faction, which allows Burnice White’s additional ability, Spark a Prairie Fire, to activate. A Soldier 11 team could include Burnice White and Lucy or Koleda. These three characters would apply burn effects, which are increased by Burnice White’s additional ability, Spark a Prairie Fire.

If you are a free-to-play player, Mindscape Cinema levels are not important. In fact, I would recommend pulling Burnice White’s Signature W-Engine before Mindscape Cinema level 1 because her signature W-Engine boosts her off-field capabilities by increasing her energy regeneration when she is off-field. Burnice White deals more damage when her EX Special Attack hits an enemy. Mindscape Cinema 1 increases the maximum number of ignition points to 130, and when a teammate triggers a burn or disorder effect, Burnice White’s attack is increased by 15% for 15 seconds. While the increase in attack is good, a burn effect is required and is not always possible to trigger. Especially if you use a team with Jane Doe and Seth Lowell who do not trigger burn or disorder effects. Burnice White will be able to utilize Mindscape Cinema Level 1’s effect more often when she has Lucy as a teammate. Energy regeneration is more valuable because then she can use her EX Special Attack more often and deal more damage with the increased uptime. For whales, Mindscape Cinema Level 2 is a great stopping point because it causes damage to an enemy equal to 120% of Burnice White’s attack and is guaranteed to crit when using EX Special Attack, Scorching Swing Double. This special ember effect does not consume Ignition Points. Mindscape Cinema Level 4 restores her energy to 80 points if her energy is less than 40 points after launching the finishing blow of Normal Attack, Blazing Stir. Mindscape Cinema Level 6 applies heat piercing to the target enemy when the ember effect is triggered for up to 5 layers for 6 seconds. When a teammate attacks the target enemy, the penetration rate of this attack increases by 6% for each layer of heat piercing, up to 30%.
