Best Drive Disc sets for Zhao
Zhao's best 4-piece set is Bunny in Wonderland. Astral Voice is the alternative.
-
Bunny in Wonderland Best in slot
4-piece: When the equipper is a Defense character: When the equipper launches an EX Special Attack or any squad member triggers a Defensive Assist or Evasive Assist, all squad members' DMG increases by 6%, stacking up to 3 times, lasting 25s. Stacks decay one at a time, and duration refreshes when gained or decayed. Passive effects of the same name do not stack
2-piece: HP +10%. Drops from Dragon Taming Chariot.
-
4-piece: Whenever any squad member enters the field using a Quick Assist, all squad members gain 1 stack of Astral, up to a maximum of 3 stacks, and lasting 15s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. Each stack of Astral increases the DMG dealt by the character entering the field using a Quick Assist by 8%. Passive effects of the same name do not stack
2-piece: ATK +10%. Drops from Monster Duet.
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 Zhao can take it from whichever one you have spare pieces of:
- HP +10%: any of Yunkui Tales or Bunny in Wonderland (they give the same bonus)
- Energy Regen +20%: any of Swing Jazz or Moonlight Lullaby (they give the same bonus)
Zhao 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 | HP% |
| Disk 5 | HP% |
| Disk 6 | Energy Regen |
Zhao substat priority
Roll for HP% and Flat HP first. A disc showing neither of those is rarely worth levelling for Zhao, whatever else it has.
- HP% (Until 27000 Initial HP)
- Flat HP (Until 27000 Initial HP)
- CRIT Rate
- CRIT DMG
Where to farm Zhao's Drive Discs

Zhao W-Engine and skill priority
Half-Sugar Bunny S-rank, HP sub-stat
Zhao's signature is a standout: the HP% mainstat makes the Initial Max HP threshold for full buffs easy to reach, its Energy Regen allows near-full Ether Veil uptime (and thus her Additional Ability's DMG Bonus), and it adds 10% ATK and 30% CRIT DMG. Not required, but a big upgrade.
Skills to level first
- Special Attack
- Chain Attack
- Basic Attack
- Assist
- Dodge

Open Drive Disc TriageQuestions
What is the best Drive Disc set for Zhao?
Bunny in Wonderland 4-piece, with Astral Voice as the alternative. For the 2-piece, any set with HP +10% or Energy Regen +20% works.
What main stats should Zhao use on Disk 4, 5 and 6?
Disk 4: HP%. Disk 5: HP%. Disk 6: Energy Regen. Disks 1 to 3 have fixed main stats (HP, ATK and DEF), so only their substats matter.
What substats does Zhao need?
In priority order: HP%, Flat HP, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG. The first two are what make a disc worth levelling for Zhao; the rest are tiebreakers.
Where do I farm Zhao's Drive Discs?
Bunny in Wonderland drops from the Dragon Taming Chariot Area Patrol stage, alongside Notes From the Chained. Each run at Lv.60 costs 60 Battery Charge and splits its S-rank discs between the two sets.
