Become the sharpest blade with the best Zenless Zone Zero Miyabi build and prove yourself worthy of your lineage. Hoshimi Miyabi is the leader of H.S.O.S. 6 as well as an Anomaly Agent with access to unique Frost Anomalies, which slightly deviate from their Ice counterparts and enable her to trigger devastating effects on enemies.
Miyabi has two main sources of damage: Frost Anomalies and Shimotsuki, her Enhanced Basic Attack. You can hold Basic Attack to charge up Shimotsuki to a maximum of three levels, each of them consuming two points of Fallen Frost. Miyabi is invulnerable while charging this attack and unleashes a massive slash dealing Frost DMG once she’s completed the process.
Miyabi gains three Fallen Frost whenever she enters the battlefield, but also gains points of it after using her EX Special Attack and Ultimate as well as after triggering Frostburn – Break. In addition, allies triggering a Disorder generates a point of Fallen Frost, if Miyabi’s team contains another H.S.O.S. 6 member or Support Agent. This teamwork effect also increases the damage of Shimotsuki and allows it to partly ignore the Ice RES of targets.
When Miyabi deals Frost DMG to enemies, she applies Icefire to them, which boosts the Frost Anomaly Buildup against them based on her CRIT Rate. It’s worth reiterating that Frost causes the same Anomalies as Ice DMG – Freeze, Shatter, and Frostbite – but has its own Anomaly Buildup gauge, which means that Frost and Ice Anomalies can trigger Disorder together.
Upon applying Frostbite to enemies suffering from Icefire, the latter will be consumed to create the Frostburn – Break effect, dealing Frost DMG based on Miyabi’s ATK and applying Frostburn on the target, which boosts the Anomaly Buildup against them for all of Miyabi’s allies.
Miyabi’s Ultimate not only deals Frost DMG and generates Fallen Frost, but also increases her Frost DMG quite substantially for some time.
Filling out Miyabi’s Mindscape Cinema by obtaining duplicates further increases her prowess. Level 1 enables Shimotsuki to partly ignore enemy DEF with every point of Fallen Frost being consumed increasing the effect. Hitting an enemy suffering from Frostburn with Shimotsuki at Charge Level 3 immediately removes it and increases the Anomaly Buildup rate against this target. Level 2 increases the damage of her Basic Attack and Dodge Counter, allowing the final move of her Basic Attack combo to generate a point of Fallen Frost. Furthermore, Miyabi gets the full six points of Fallen Frost and a CRIT Rate boost whenever she joins the battle.
Level 4 increases the damage of Frostburn – Break, which also generates Decibels for her. At last, Level 6 increases the damage of Shimotsuki and allows Miyabi to make a maximum of three automatic attacks while she’s charging up the move.
Miyabi’s signature W-Engine, Hailstorm Shrine, delivers what’s most vital for her: additional CRIT Rate. This not only increases the damage output of her general attacks, but boosts her Anomaly Buildup against targets affected by Icefire. Furthermore, the W-Engine increases her CRIT DMG. Whenever she uses an EX Special Attack or allies apply an Attribute Anomaly on enemies, she’ll gain a substantial boost to Ice DMG (converted to Frost DMG in her case) temporarily – this can stack up to two times.
There aren’t exactly many W-Engines that meet Miyabi’s requirements, so getting her signature weapon is definitely recommended due to the lack of very effective alternatives.
Best W-Engines for Miyabi:
CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG are Miyabi’s best friends (with CRIT Rate to be prioritized until you hit 80%), as they maximize the damage dealt by her Shimotsuki and the other attacks not based on Anomalies. Speaking of which, though: Anomaly Mastery and Anomaly Proficiency should be on your radar as well, especially the first – you will need a certain amount of it to trigger the effect of the Branch & Blade Song Drive Disc set, so make sure you hit that critical threshold.
ATK and Ice DMG are great filler stats for Miyabi, bringing even more offensive oomph.
Best Drive Disc sets for Miyabi:
Best Drive Disc stats for Miyabi:
Miyabi is a lethal damage dealer, who essentially combines the Attack and Anomaly classes into a single person – and that should be a scary thought for any enemy.
Miyabi and Yanagi both excel at Anomaly Buildup and triggering especially hard-hitting Disorders, making them a natural pair. They also trigger each other’s teamwork abilities due to their faction. Soukaku is an excellent Support Agent for the duo, though especially for Miyabi thanks to bringing juicy Ice DMG bonuses to the table.
A full ice team with someone like Lycaon is effective as well, since Miyabi’s Frost and the other team members’ Ice Anomalies are independent of each other and can create Disorders.
For a fire-and-ice-style team, look no further than Burnice, who is another fantastic option for a Miyabi team-up.
After obtaining Miyabi, you’ll want to level her up as quickly as possible to make use of her talents in combat. Here are the materials required to upgrade her to Level 60:
You can obtain Certification Seals from the VR Combat Simulation. Advanced materials may be crafted using lower-level materials as well. Dennies can be earned in the VR Combat Simulation as well as through operating the Random Play video store.
Leveling Miyabi up is only half the game, though – you’ll want to upgrade all of her skills as well to get the most out of her performance in battle. Here are the materials required to max out her Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack – we’re giving you the total you need, so just divide everything by five to get the materials needed for a single skill:
Chips can be farmed in the VR Combat Simulation with Advanced and Specialized Chips also being available through crafting. Hamster Cage Passes are a rare material that can be grabbed from time-limited events as well as the New Eridu City Fund.
Finally, you can upgrade her Core Skill six times to make Miyabi stronger, for which you need the following materials:
Higher Dimensional Data: TBD will be available from a new Expert Challenge, while Sycophant’s Refinement must be acquired through a new Notorious Hunt Challenge.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb reminded teammates to keep their cool after the team had multiple skirmishes during the first two days of training camp. Rookie defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku and tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford got involved in a brief scuffle on Tuesday. At the following practice on Wednesday, a fight broke out between safety Markquese Bell and TE Tyler Neville. New head coach Brian Schottenheimer then stopped practice and pulled the whole team together. He said the next player who threw a punch would be kicked out of practice (via Joseph Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News). "We've got to be professional," Lamb said of the incident after practice, per ESPN's Todd Archer. "I get it that we have a lot of animosity and tension between us and understanding that we want to proclaim our dominance and show like aggressiveness on both sides of the ball, but then again, to what extent?" Fighting in training camp isn't uncommon. It's an intense environment. Many are trying to prove themselves before teams trim their rosters to 53 players. However, too much brawling can threaten to tear a locker room apart. A lack of discipline was also one reason the Cowboys replaced Mike McCarthy with Schottenheimer this offseason. According to NFLPenalties.com, Dallas drew the league's sixth-most flags (128) last season. Per Archer, there were no more fights after Schottenheimer pulled the team aside. Still, the incidents raise questions about his ability to maintain control. The coach spent Wednesday morning's meeting discussing two plays where DE Sam Williams was too physical and sent to the sideline. His players must not have received the message. It's good for Dallas that Lamb seems to be echoing Schottenheimer's sentiments, but the rookie HC still must get through to his team. Rebounding from a 7-10 season could already prove challenging for the Cowboys. As of Wednesday, ESPN's Football Power Index gives Dallas a 34.5% chance to make the playoffs. Infighting will make that even more difficult.
The Washington Commanders have an open door of opportunities when it comes to the wide receiver room especially with Terry McLaurin absent from practice as he continues his contract holdout. In the meantime, somebody needs to step up during training camp and earn the trust from quarterback Jayden Daniels and hopefully become an option for the offense during the season. The first player to impress as practice kicked off in Ashburn, Virginia today happened to be undrafted rookie wide receiver Ja'Corey Brooks and that shouldn't surprise anyone. Ja'Corey Brooks is wasting no time fighting for a roster spot I know it's only been one practice, but that's all it took for fan-favorite undrafted rookie Brooks to hear his name mentioned on many occasions from the local media on site. Washington has a lot of questions on who can contribute this season when it comes to depth and a hungry Brooks can show his ability to track the ball and become a reliable target. Today he gained some extra respect from both Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota by catching a touchdown from the two quarterbacks during team drills. There will be plenty of opportunities for Brooks to continue to impress the coaching staff and build a connection with the quarterbacks as training camp progresses. Training camp will only ramp up from here on out, and he can continue to develop and learn the systems the coaching staff has implemented. The Commanders will add pads to practice starting July 29 and then compete against the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens in joint practices. The unsung hero of the WR room in Washington Practice prepares you for the moments that matter the most and we saw many rookies contribute last season and exceed expectations. A couple big plays in the Commanders' three preseason games can help boost Brooks into the final cuts before the season. Washington is the oldest team in the league and desperately needs to find key players to mold the young core of the team as well, so Brooks can put himself in the conversation as a piece for the future as well. Training camp may have just started, but it's never too early for an undrafted rookie to catch the attention of the coaching staff and media while Terry McLaurin continues to hold out for a new contract. Brooks has already been on my radar and will be a player worth keeping a close eye on throughout the rest of the offseason.
The talk of the trade rumor mill right now is Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez. The Milwaukee Brewers are one of many teams to be connected to the 34 year old slugger, along with the Chicago Cubs and New York Yankees. Suarez continues to raise his profile, battling with Shohei Ohtani for the NL home run lead, already with 36 long balls on the season. He'd be an immediate boost to any team looking for offensive help, which the Brewers certainly are. But there's another contender in the Suarez Sweepstakes that's just entered, and it's one the Brewers' other division rivals. The Cincinnati Reds. While the Milwaukee Brewers have taken a one game lead in the NL Central, the Cincinnati Reds have quietly snuck into 3rd place in the division and currently sit 8.5 games back of the Brewers with a 53-50 record. Fangraphs gives the Reds a 0.4% chance to win the division and a 10.9% chance to make the playoffs. Suarez would no doubt give a boost to the Reds in their hunt for a wild card spot, and it would be a reunion for the two sides. Suarez was a Red from 2015-2021 and he had some of the best years of his career there. He slugged a career high 49 home runs for them in 2019. The inclusion of the Reds would certainly throw a wrench in the Suarez sweepstakes as a team that's out on the periphery of the playoff race. He could certainly cause some more headaches for the Brewers as they try to close out the division. Still, the Reds might be a more preferable alternative destination for Suarez than the Cubs if you're the Brewers. The Reds have a lot of good, young players that they could trade in order to get Suarez. They've been desperate to get to that next level the last couple of years and they may finally push some chips in to get themselves back into the playoffs. The number of teams interested in Suarez continues to grow. That will just raise the price on the Brewers a little bit more if they want to get him.
The Chicago Blackhawks, a crowded goaltending situation and trade rumors involving the Edmonton Oilers have fans wondering if the Stars' rivals could soon upgrade their crease before training camp. With training camp approaching, Chicago general manager Kyle Davidson has five goalies under contract, including Spencer Knight, Arvid Soderblom, Drew Commesso, newly signed Stanislav Berezhnoy, and veteran Laurent Brossoit. Only two NHL roster spots are available, which has fueled speculation that Brossoit could be moved to a contender, with Edmonton emerging as a leading candidate. For Stars fans, seeing the Oilers potentially bolster their crease should raise eyebrows. Edmonton, fresh off a deep playoff run, is looking to avoid the same issues that hurt them late in the postseason. "The Blackhawks have too many goalies and not enough spots, and Brossoit's contract and experience make him a natural trade chip for a team like the Oilers."-Julien Trekker Chicago's goalie logjam and Berezhnoy's recent signing are detailed further at NHL.com. Dallas could see its rival upgrade as Blackhawks explore trading Laurent Brossoit Brossoit, 32, carries a $3.3 million cap hit for one more season. Drafted by Calgary in 2011, he's appeared in 140 NHL games, including time with Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Vegas, where he helped the Golden Knights win the Stanley Cup in 2023. While Chicago decides, Drew Commesso continues to push for NHL time after posting a .911 save percentage over 39 AHL games. For a deeper look at Commesso's performance, his full profile is on Elite Prospects. I think if Edmonton lands Brossoit or even Commesso, Dallas may have to plan around a deeper Oilers team come playoff time, especially given how tight the Western race looks on paper.
