Evelyn is an S-Rank Fire Attribute Attack Agent from the Stars of Lyra faction. She’s Astra Yao’s manager/bodyguard–and just like Astra, she loves pulling off cinematic combos.

JOYTIFY TOP UP: PAY LESS, PLAY MORE!

But Evelyn doesn’t just hit hard. She revolves around Chain Attacks, dishing out massive bursts of Fire DMG when you play her right. In short, she’s flashy, fierce, and full of finesse.

Evelyn ZZZ Release Date

Her banner dropped during Version 1.5’s second half, and it runs from February 12 to March 11, 2025–a full 4-week banner, which is longer than usual.

Evelyn’s Skills Kit in Zenless Zone Zero

Let’s move into the most important part, Evelyn’s skill set. She’s got a couple of layers to her mechanics, but once you understand how to juggle her Burning Embers and Burning Tether Points, she becomes an absolute monster.

Basic Attack: Lunalux Combo

5-hit combo mixing Physical and Fire DMG.
On the final hit, Evelyn binds her main target and enters Binding Seal.
Binding Seal is crucial–lots of her effects trigger off of this.

Garrote (Passive & Active)

When you’ve got 50% Burning Embers, you can trigger Garrote for a flashy slash that deals Fire DMG.
Garrote generates Burning Tether Points, used to trigger a pseudo-Chain Attack later.

Special Attacks: Locked Position & Binding Sunder

Locked Position pulls the enemy and triggers Binding Seal.
Binding Sunder causes a big Fire explosion around Bound enemies. It gets stronger with Perfect Dodges.

Chain Attack: Lunalux – Snare

Evelyn’s bread and butter. This flashy AOE Fire attack gets boosted by Burning Tether Points.
During her EX Chain Attack (Lunalux Garrote – Timbre), she enters Dance of Awakened Fire, letting her trigger Snare more efficiently.

Core Passive: Entangle

When in Binding Seal, her Crit Rate increases by 23%.
After she exits Binding Seal, the buff lingers for 10s, so switch her out smartly!

Additional Ability: Ambush Point

Works best when paired with Stun or Support Agents like Astra.
If Evelyn’s CRIT Rate is ≥80%, she gets massive multipliers on Chain and Ultimate damage.

Dodge & Assist

Her Dodge Counter and Assist Attacks also bind enemies, helping you consistently re-trigger Binding Seal.
And, she’s invulnerable during these animations, which is just a chef’s kiss for tight fights.

Best W-Engines Kit for Evelyn Zenless Zone Zero

Heartstring Nocturne is Evelyn’s signature W-Engine, and it’s tailor-made for her kit.

If you’re lucky (or rich) enough to get your hands on Heartstring Nocturne, don’t even think twice–slap it on her and never look back.

Heartstring Nocturne (Signature)

Best-in-slot. Period.
Up to 25% Fire RES ignore, plus +50% CRIT DMG.
Huge burst potential on Chain Attacks and Ultimates.

Okay, maybe you didn’t get Heartstring Nocturne (RNG can be cruel). Here are some other S-rank W-Engines that still pack a punch:

1. Zanshin Herb Case

Great if you’re stacking CRIT DMG and using stun-based teammates.

2. The Brimstone

A decent ATK stacking engine, if you don’t have Heartstring.

3. F2P Option: Marcato Desire 5

Solid boost if you’re applying Attribute Anomaly or doing Chain spam.
