How to play Ellen on Zenless Zone Zero: build, talents and skills

Ellen, as an S-Tier character, has a signature W-Engine. This is the Deep Sea Visitor, which strengthens its attack. Other than that, we recommend The Restrained (designed with Lycaon in mind), which you can get as a tier reward, as well as some A and B category engines that are available on all available banners.

We recommend increasing his attack stat and attribute mastery so that inflicting frost on enemies happens a little more often. The Assassin's Ballad, Monsoon Funk, and classic Noisy Pop sets should suit him well.
