Best Caesar Build – Drive Discs And W-Engines In ZZZ

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours under my belt, I must say that the best build for Caesar in ZZZ is nothing short of a game-changer. The 4-Piece Proto Punk and 2-Piece Shockstar Disco Drive Disc combo is a masterstroke for those who want to unleash Caesar’s full potential, especially when paired with Bangboo: Bangvolver. This premium team, consisting of Caesar, Jane Doe, and Qingyi, offers a perfect blend of support, stun, and damage output that will leave your enemies quaking in their boots!


In a simpler and more conversational manner: If you’re curious about how to optimize Caesar, an S-Rank Physical Defense character, who just joined Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ) with Version 1.2, this guide is for you! Whether you already have her or are thinking of getting her, we’ll walk you through the ideal build for Caesar in ZZZ – from her Drive Discs to her W-Engines and beyond.

Caesar can be obtained from ZZZ up until October 16, 2024. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to secure her at her discounted rate during this time. If you pass up on it, you’ll need to wait for another chance later on.

Best Caesar W-Engine

Here are the best W-Engines that players can equip on Caesar:

1. Tusks of Fury (S-Rank)

Tusks of Fury is Caesar’s signature W-Engine, increasing the value of her Shield via its passive effect as well as the increased Impact that it provides. Additionally, it increases the DMG and Daze dealt of all squad memebers whenever anyone in the team triggers Interrupt or Perfect Dodge, increasing the team’s DMG output.

2. Peacekeeper – Specialized (A-Rank)

This new W-Engine works well for Caesar since it provides her with Energy Restoration whenever her shield is active. Since she can consistently maintain her shield, this energy restoration essentially becomes perpetual. Moreover, it increases her Anomaly Construction from her EX Special Moves and Assist Finishers, as well as boosting her Attack power through its substat.

3. Steam Oven (A-Rank)

The W-Engine serves as a suitable substitute for Caesar, since it lessens the damage Caesar receives, and in turn, delivers bursts of damage when attacked, which is a key feature of Caesar’s abilities.

As a gamer, I’ve noticed that the downside with the W-Engine on Caesar is that her defense stat isn’t particularly beneficial. You see, her shields and damage are based on Impact and Attack stats, not Defense. The only way the DEF from the W-Engine impacts gameplay is by enhancing the extra damage it deals.

4. Spring Embrace (A-Rank)

Spring Embrace serves as another alternative engine for Caesar, offering both damage mitigation and energy rejuvenation upon attack. This benefit is particularly advantageous for players employing Caesar in a supportive role, as the buff can be transferred to another off-field character when Caesar is swapped out.

One potential rephrasing for the given sentence could be: “The major disadvantage of the W-Engine is that it’s produced by the New Eridu City Fund, meaning players need to purchase access to it.

5. [Identity] Inflection (B-Rank)

In this setup for Caesar, when he’s attacked, the damage inflicted on him is reduced for the attacker, effectively making Caesar more of a debuff character. However, since this is a B-Rank W-Engine that boosts Defense as its secondary stat, Caesar won’t gain any additional benefits from the W-Engine.

Best Caesar Drive Discs

Here are the best Drive Discs for Caesar

1. 4-Piece Proto Punk, 2-Piece Shockstar Disco

In simpler terms, Proto Punk is the preferred choice of music disc for protective characters like Caesar. This two-part effect enhances Caesar’s shield strength, and at the same time, boosts the damage output of her team whenever any member uses an Assist ability.

At Shockstar Disco’s enhanced power level, her strikes not only boost Caesar’s Shield but also cause more confusion, making him dazed during her attacks.

2. 4-Piece Swing Jazz, 2-Piece Shockstar Disco

This combo of Drive Discs eliminates the extra Shield Protection and instead boosts Caesar’s Energy Regeneration rate, enabling her to gather Energy quicker for her EX Special Attack. Furthermore, she can enhance her team’s damage output, but this ability is now triggered by a Chain Attack or her Ultimate Skill.

3. 4-Piece Freedom Blues, 2-Piece Shockstar Disco

Using Freedom Blues as Caesar’s Drive Disc is ideal if you intend to include her in an Anomaly team. It boosts her proficiency with Anomalies and lessens the resistance of enemies against their Anomaly Buildup when she unleashes her EX Special Attack. However, keep in mind that players should rely on the substat rolls from the Drive Disc to enhance Caesar’s stats.

At Shockstar Disco, the standard duo remains unchanged, but feel free to switch it up with Proto Punk or Shockstar Disco as required.

For Drive Discs, aim for Critical Hit Rate or Critical Damage on Disc 4, Physical Damage Percentage or Attack Percentage on Disc 5, and Impact on Disc 6. For substat bonuses, strive for either Critical Hit Rate or Damage, Anomaly Proficiency, and Attack %.

Best Caesar Builds

Premium Build

W-Engine – Tusks of Fury

Drive Disc – 4-Piece Proto Punk, 2-Piece Shockstar Disco

Bangboo: Bangvolver

Team – Caesar, Jane Doe, Qingyi

In this setup, Jane Doe serves as the primary offensive player, Qingyi specializes in stunning opponents, while Caesar plays the supportive role. (Caesar is also a part of the team.)

Caesar supplies the squad with protective barriers and enhancements, while inflicting weaknesses on opponents. Qingyi takes care of immobilizing adversaries, after which Jane Doe steps in for damaging attacks when enemies are incapacitated.

If players wish to amplify the damage that Jane Doe inflicts even more, they have the option to combine a set of four Freedom Blues and two Shockstar Disco pieces in their setup.

Sons of Calydon Team

W-Engine – Tusks of Fury or [Identity] Inflection (F2P)

Drive Disc – 4-Piece Freedom Blues, 2-Piece Shockstar Disco

Bangboo: Red Moccus

Team – Caesar, Piper, Lucy

As a gamer, I’ve found that my team, built around the Sons of Calydon characters, really synergizes well together. It’s even been dubbed as ‘Caesar’s Free-to-Play (F2P) team build.’ This composition has proven to be quite effective in my gaming experience.

Caesar will work together with Lucy as a teammate, while Piper takes on the role of the primary attacker. To maximize Piper’s damage potential, it is crucial to equip a 4-piece Freedom Blues set and two pieces from the Shockstar set. If the focus is on survivability and general boosts instead, consider using a 4-Piece Proto Punk set along with two pieces of the Shockstar Disco set.

In the update 1.2’s second part, players will have the option to swap Piper with Burnice, enhancing their team and making it more high-end. Burnice stands out due to her swift ability to amplify Anomaly in enemies, potentially proving even more effective than Piper.

That’s all for our guide on the best W-Engine, Drive Disc, and team build for Caesar in ZZZ. ZZZ is available on PlayStation 5, iOS, Android, and PC via the Epic Games Store and the official client.
