The question on everyone’s minds is who really is Zenless Zone Zero’s Jane Doe? She’s an astonishingly good S-rank character that uses the physical attribute and is an anomaly-based attacker, who works with PubSec – sort of. She’s got a lot going on and can do some real damage in our teams. Scroll down to see what we know about ZZZ Jane Doe.
Oh, and here are all the Zenless Zone Zero codes for you. Plus, check out our Zenless Zone Zero tier list, Zenless Zone Zero banner guide, and what we know about the next Zenless Zone Zero update right here.
Here’s everything in our Zenless Zone Zero Jane build guide:
What is the best Jane Doe build?
Jane is an S-rank character who uses the physical element and deals anomaly damage.
Best w-engine | Sharpened Stinger |
Alternative w-engines | Rainforest Gourmet, Fusion Compiler |
Best drive discs | Four-piece – Fanged Metal Two-piece – Freedom Blues |
Main stats | -Anomaly proficiency -Physical damage -Attack |
Sub-stats | Anomaly proficiency, attack, penetration ratio |
The best w-engine for Jane is her signature S-rank, Sharpened Stinger. A four-piece set of fanged metal with a two-piece set of freedom blues will amplify Jane’s physical damage and anomaly proficiency. When picking specific disks for her, prioritize those with anomaly proficiency main and sub-stats – you want to aim for at least 300 anomaly proficiency.
She can apply the assault state onto enemies reliably, upping her damage and doing some eye-wateringly high assault damage – even at MC0 and without her signature weapon, we’ve found she can do between 100k – 250k with assault each time. Even during Jane Doe’s demo on her banner, she reached 400k in training with no teammates or mindscape cinemas unlocked.
If you’ve played Hoyoverse’s other games, her playstyle can be reminiscent of Honkai Star Rail’s Boothill, in that she needs a specific stat and a particular team with Zenless Zone Zero’s Seth Lowell to truly excel – however, once you build her with a high enough anomaly proficiency stat, you’ll be dishing out hundreds of thousands of damage at once.

How do I use Jane Doe?
Now, getting these gigantic numbers out of Jane requires a certain rotation. You can use her on her own, or with a team, but the key is to build her Passion Stream – this is marked by the meter in the top left, under her health bar.
To build Passion Stream, it’s best to use Jane’s dodges, normal attacks, and ultimate. Once the Passion Stream meter is full, use her EX special, special, and normal attacks to inflict assault on enemies, which can easily deal well upwards of 200k depending on your build. If you hold her basic attack, Jane does a charged spin attack when the skill is available. This is marked by a dot next to the meter.
To best use Jane, you want to keep that meter full as much as you can. Using her special during Passion Stream will deplete the meter faster, so we recommend using it outside of the state, or when Passion Stream is full.
What are Jane Doe’s best w-engines?
Jane Doe’s best w-engine overall is her signature, Sharpened Stinger, which gives her a boost to her physical damage and anomaly buildup. You can use some other w-engines to get good damage out of her, too – just make sure you use anomaly-aligned options to activate the skill.
The next best option is the Rainforest Gourmet, especially at higher refinement levels. This gives a flat anomaly proficiency bonus of 30 while adding a significant attack bonus when she consumes energy.
Zenless Zone Zero Grace‘s signature weapon is a great replacement, however, this is available on the standard and w-engine banners, so may not be easy to get. This is also best used in a team with Rina or Grace – as the main stat gives penetration ratio to Jane. If you use this w-engine, make sure to use Jane’s skill or EX skill three times in a row to get the biggest bonus for her anomaly proficiency.
Similarly, the Electro Lip Gloss available from the battle pass is another good option, but not everyone has the means to get this. In this case, we recommend the Weeping Gemini.
