Zenless Zone Zero: Yidhari's Full Skill Breakdown and Exclusive Weapon Revealed

The Zenless Zone Zero 2.3 trailer debuted the new S-rank Agent, Yidhari. She debuts with an Ice-attribute and a Rapture role, boasting unique combat mechanics and a powerful exclusive weapon. This article provides a complete breakdown of Yidhari's skills, her exclusive W engine, "Kraken's Cradle," and an introduction to the Mindscape Cinema experience. If you're looking to expand your roster or find a new core character, this article will help you get to know this Agent comprehensively.

Yidari's Role

Yidari is a Cryo-attribute Rapture Agent. Her combat style differs from traditional Ice-attribute characters: the lower her health, the higher her attack damage and the less damage she takes.

When her health drops below 40%, Yidhari's attack damage increases by up to 80% while reducing her damage by 25%.

When in the background, if her health drops below 30%, she gradually regenerates.

She also gains decibels differently in combat: regular attacks generate fewer decibels, but she gains them proportionally as her party members' health decreases.

Character Info at a Glance:

Rarity: S-Tier

Attribute: Ice

Specialty: Ecstasy

Faction: Ghost Lodge

This setup makes Idari a character with both risk and reward, adept at exploding in times of crisis.
