Zenless Zone Zero: Best Nekomata Build (W-Engine, Teams, Drive Discs)

screenrant.com:

Nekomata is a fast-paced Attack Agent in who has the Physical attribute. This combination means she excels at getting up close and personal with her enemies to deal loads of damage, using attacks like Kitty Slash and Phantom Claws to swipe away their health. She's also an excellent addition to any squad, as long as she's got the best build, team, and W-Engine.

Just like her fellow Cunning Hares Faction member Billy Kid, Nekomata is an Attack Agent with very high damage potential. But while Billy is a free starter character, Nekomata is an S-Rank Agent, which means unlocking her could take a while. If you've been lucky enough to pull her from a Signal Search, it's time to learn how to play her and which teammates she pairs up best with.

There are loads of Bangboo available in Zenless Zone Zero, so taking a look at the current tier list will help you discover the best for your team.

There's always going to be an element of personal preference when choosing a build for your favorite character, but one of the best W-Engines for Nekomata is Steel Cushion. This is her signature W-Engine in, which means it was made especially for her. Equipping it provides an immediate boost to Nekomata's Base Attack as well as Crit Rate.

When put on an Attack Agent like Nekomata, the Metal Cat Claws ability is active. Not only will this increase Nekomata's Physical Damage by 20% at base level, but it will also increase her Damage by 25% when attacking an enemy from behind. This is ideal for a speedy character like Nekomata, who should have no trouble giving enemies the slip by running and dodging.
