Best Drive Disc sets for Vivian
Vivian's 4-piece set is Phaethon's Melody. No other 4-piece set is recommended, so there is no substitute worth farming.
-
Phaethon's Melody Best in slot
4-piece: When any squad member uses an EX Special Attack, the equipper's Anomaly Proficiency increases by 45 for 8s. If the character using the EX Special Attack is not the equipper, the equipper's Ether DMG is increased by 25%
2-piece: Anomaly Mastery +8%. Drops from Gunslinger vs Guardian.
2-piece options
For the 2-piece slot the bonus matters, not the set's name. Several sets share the same 2-piece bonus, so Vivian can take it from whichever one you have spare pieces of:
- Anomaly Proficiency +30: any of Freedom Blues, Chaos Jazz or Feathered Fate (they give the same bonus)
- Ether DMG +10%: any of Chaotic Metal, Shining Aria or The Sky Ablaze (they give the same bonus)
- ATK +10%: any of Hormone Punk or Astral Voice (they give the same bonus)
- PEN Ratio +8%: Puffer Electro
Vivian main stats: Disk 4, 5 and 6
Disks 1 to 3 always roll HP, ATK and DEF as their main stat, so the choice is on 4, 5 and 6. A > means "better than"; = means the two are about as good.
| Slot | Main stat, best first |
|---|---|
| Disk 4 | Anomaly Proficiency |
| Disk 5 | Ether DMG% > PEN Ratio = ATK% |
| Disk 6 | Anomaly Mastery |
Vivian substat priority
Roll for Anomaly Proficiency and ATK% first. A disc showing neither of those is rarely worth levelling for Vivian, whatever else it has.
- Anomaly Proficiency
- ATK%
- Flat ATK
- PEN

Open Drive Disc TriageQuestions
What is the best Drive Disc set for Vivian?
Phaethon's Melody 4-piece. For the 2-piece, any set with Anomaly Proficiency +30, Ether DMG +10%, ATK +10% or PEN Ratio +8% works.
What main stats should Vivian use on Disk 4, 5 and 6?
Disk 4: Anomaly Proficiency. Disk 5: Ether DMG% > PEN Ratio = ATK%. Disk 6: Anomaly Mastery. Disks 1 to 3 have fixed main stats (HP, ATK and DEF), so only their substats matter.
What substats does Vivian need?
In priority order: Anomaly Proficiency, ATK%, Flat ATK, PEN. The first two are what make a disc worth levelling for Vivian; the rest are tiebreakers.
Where do I farm Vivian's Drive Discs?
Phaethon's Melody drops from the Gunslinger vs Guardian Area Patrol stage, alongside Shadow Harmony. Each run at Lv.60 costs 60 Battery Charge and splits its S-rank discs between the two sets.
