Zankou Build Guide

2026-10-11·3 min read

Zankou is an S-Class Incantation Esper who fills the Damage role, using Gas-type Arc compatibility. She plays around two combat states, Reality and Illusion, switching between them with her Redirect Skill while stacking and spreading damage-over-time effects across every enemy in range.

Best Arcs

Ravenous Blade
S-rankBIS

Ravenous Blade

Her signature Arc and best-in-slot by a wide margin. 570 base ATK and 24% CRIT Rate, plus extra CRIT Rate and stacking CRIT DMG that fit her kit perfectly.

Contemplative Cat
S-rankALT

Contemplative Cat

Chiz's signature Arc, with 512 base ATK and 44% CRIT DMG. It works as a pure stat stick for Zankou, and performs a little better when she's played as a DoT Sub-DPS.

Watch Your Heads!
A-rankBUDGET

Watch Your Heads!

The best A-rank option, with 475 base ATK and 40% CRIT DMG. Also a stat stick, since she doesn't take part in Remora or Stain and the Lakshana bonus doesn't apply to her.

Fluff of Finesse
S-rankALT

Fluff of Finesse

The battle pass Arc, with 512 base ATK and 27.5% ATK. Serviceable, but there are better places to spend a battle pass.
