The Gilded Blossom W-Engine is an item you can get from a special event in Zenless Zone Zero and upgrade using an important material. Like all W-Engines, Gilded Blossom is a piece of equipment that can be attached to your best Agents. With a unique passive effect, this W-Engine allows a character to become stronger as they combat waves of enemies during missions.
Anyone looking to get this W-Engine can do so as a part of the 1.1 update for Zenless Zone Zero. Gilded Blossom is an item directly tied to the Camellia Golden Week event that takes place within the game. You need to be at least Inter-Knot Level 32 and complete “The Midnight Pursuit” quest in Chapter 3 of the main story to start the event.
How To Obtain The Gilded Blossom W-Engine
Clear One Particular Hollow
Once you start participating in the Camellia Golden Week event, you must go to Hollow C41 to receive the Gilded Blossom W-Engine as a reward. You can find Hollow C41 through the HDD System at Random Play after the event has started. By going to the Hollow, you have to finish several tasks to beat it, from breaching firewalls to solving puzzles within a certain timeframe.
Try to do everything in Hollow C41 to receive even more rewards than just the W-Engine you’re looking for. Some other event rewards include Specialized Shock Chips, Inter-Knot Credits, and plenty of Denny currency to spend on other items. Those looking to upgrade Gilded Blossom may need some extra cash to purchase some enhancements or modifications to the W-Engine.
Similar to
Mewmew Rebuild Ridu challenges
, you also receive Polychrome for finishing different tasks in Hollow C41 and the Camellia Golden Week as a whole.
Technically, you gain the Gilded Blossom W-Engine when you reach 60% breach progress for a storage area in Hollow C41. This can be any storage area you encounter; it doesn’t have to be a specific place within the Hollow. This task shouldn’t be too difficult if you already have powerful Agents at your side with W-Engines of their own.
How To Use The Gilded Blossom W-Engine
The Gilded Blossom W-Engine in Zenless Zone Zero is an A-rank rarity item that has a unique effect called Extraordinary Anti-Theft Measures. This ability increases the Attack of an Agent by 6% when equipped. In addition, any damage dealt by EX Special Attacks increases by 15%, making this W-Engine a perfect item for Agents who specialize in using EX Special Attacks in battles often.
This W-Engine is very balanced for any Agent that needs its damage and attacking power improved. Everyone benefits from dealing extra punishment to their foes, so it may be best to equip Gilded Blossom to someone whose damage is lacking.
Some of the best characters to use the Gilded Blossom are strong attackers with powerful EX Special Attacks like Billy, Zhu Yuan, or
Ellen in
Zenless Zone Zero
.
The Base Attack of Gilded Blossom is 40, while the Adv. Stat is 10.00%, but these can be modified with the right upgrade materials. As long as a character doesn’t have Attribute restrictions, practically anyone can use this W-Engine for future missions.
How To Upgrade The Gilded Blossom W-Engine
Acquire Different Materials From Exploration
You need to collect Blooming Winds materials to upgrade the Gilded Blossom W-Engine. This additional resource can also be found in Hollow C41 during the event, but only when you gather 45 supply boxes as you explore the Hollow. As you improve the W-Engine, you can level up its base stats to look like this:
