Can provide the whole team with PEN Ratio buffs	Bangboos are a requirement for Rina’s kit to work properly
Rina’s dodges have a wide field to effectively dodge enemy attacks

Best Rina team comp in Zenless Zone Zero

The best place for Rina to excel is on a team focused on the Shock reaction. Therefore, we recommend Grace and Anton as teammates to better apply Shock onto enemies. Additionally, Anton can deal increased damage to enemies afflicted with Shock.

Finally, we suggest using Plugboo as your Bangboo based on the number of party members with the Electric attribute. With two or more Electric characters, Bangboo Chain Attack inflicts 100% more Anomaly Buildup.
