Cissia
Who is Cissia?
Cissia is a limited S-rank Electric Attack agent introduced in version 2.7 in Zenless Zone Zero. A versatile sub-DPS, she balances off-field Electric DMG output with a DEF shred debuff that boosts her teammates' Electric damage. Her Venom mechanic triggers automatic Corrode Bone attacks while she is off-field, and her Ether Veil effect provides CRIT DMG buffs to the team. She slots firmly into Electric compositions alongside Seed, Trigger, and other Electric agents, where her DEF shred delivers the most value.
Kit Summary
Cissia enters battle with 3 Venom. While possessing Venom off-field, she consumes 1 charge every 5s to trigger Corrode Bone — dealing Electric DMG without field time.
Cissia's abilities apply Ether Veil to allies, granting a team-wide CRIT DMG bonus during Cissia's rotations.
EX Special applies Electric DEF Ignore on enemies, amplifying all Electric DMG dealt by the team — her primary team-support contribution.
A high-burst Electric attack that applies DEF shred and replenishes Venom charges for continued off-field pressure.
Despite being an Attack agent, Cissia can deal competitive Daze alongside her Electric DMG output.

F2P Verdict
Cissia is a limited S-rank from version 2.7. She is strictly an Electric-team investment — do not pull if your roster lacks Electric DPS to benefit from her DEF shred.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Cissia's DEF shred valuable?
Cissia's EX Special applies Electric DEF Ignore to enemies, increasing all Electric DMG dealt by the entire team. This scales better than flat ATK% buffs in teams with multiple Electric damage dealers and is particularly powerful in Seed + Trigger Electric compositions where multiple agents are dealing Electric DMG simultaneously.
Can Cissia play as a main DPS?
Cissia can be built as a main DPS with Daze-focused Drive Discs, but she performs best as a sub-DPS and DEF shredder. Her off-field Venom mechanic is most efficient when she has minimal field time, freeing rotations for on-field agents like Seed.
Is Cissia limited or standard?
Cissia is a limited S-rank released in version 2.7. She is not on the standard banner and requires pulling during her featured event Convene. Check for reruns if you missed her initial release window.
