W-Engines in Zenless Zone Zero are analogous to artifacts in Genshin Impact. They can increase the base stats of characters and provide unique abilities. Of course, there are no universal W-Engines in the game, as each hero needs to be equipped individually. However, some items are objectively better than others. We will talk about the best of them in this guide.

Just like with characters, we have divided all W-Engines into categories S, A, B, C, and D, from the most effective to the useless ones.

S-Class W-Engines

Deep Sea Visitor. The best choice for ice element characters. It increases elemental damage by 50% and boosts critical attack value by 40%.
The Restrained. The optimal option for heroes who incapacitate enemies temporarily. This W-Engine increases the effectiveness of stunning.
Riot Suppressor Mark 6. An excellent way to increase the chance of a critical hit and its effectiveness. Besides, it boosts ether damage. The best choice for Zhu Yuan.
Fusion Compiler. The only S-Class W-Engine that enhances anomaly effectiveness. For heroes specializing in this element, there is currently no worthy alternative.
Brimstone. Significantly increases base damage, making it suitable for all attacking characters.
Steel Cushion. The best option for heroes who deal physical damage. Additionally, it increases the critical attack value.
Weeping Cradle. The optimal choice for support characters. This W-Engine increases energy recovery and ally damage.

A-Class W-Engines

Electro-Lip Gloss. Increases anomaly effectiveness and boosts damage related to this element.
Big Cylinder. With this W-Engine, you can make Ben effective. After equipping this item, he will deal critical damage. Just summon the hero onto the battlefield once every 7-10 seconds, perform an attack, and switch him out with other fighters.
The Vault. Speeds up energy recovery and increases ally damage to the squad. However, currently, only Nicole can use this W-Engine.
Starlight Engine. Significantly boosts attack power, so it can be used by any character except support heroes.
Cannon Rotor. Increases the chance of a critical hit. If you rely on powerful random attacks, pay attention to this W-Engine. For other tactics, it's better to choose another option.
Demara Battery Mark 2. Increases attack power and energy recovery speed. A great choice for Anbi.
Steam Oven. The optimal choice for heroes who stun enemies.
Bashful Demon. This W-Engine is aimed at support characters. It is worth taking if you play as Soukaku. Other heroes should choose more effective equipment.

B-Class W-Engines

Spring Embrace. The main advantage of this item is accelerated energy recovery. Unfortunately, the other parameters are at a mediocre level.
Kaboom the Cannon. Increases the damage of all fighters in your squad. However, to get the bonus, you need to constantly switch between allies during the battle.
Unfettered Game Ball. Increases your heroes' critical damage by 12%.
Rainforest Gourmet. A decent choice for characters focused on anomaly actions. But the lack of an energy recovery bonus prevents it from fully utilizing its passive abilities.
Street Superstar. Increases the effectiveness of your ultimate skill. However, you won't be able to use it often anyway, so the usefulness of this W-Engine seems questionable.
Precious Fossilized Core. Increases the effectiveness of stunning. A decent option for heroes who specialize in temporarily incapacitating enemies. At least until you find a better item.
Bunny Band. One of the few W-Engines that increases defense. Besides, it boosts the maximum health value and attack.
Original Transmorpher. An analogue of the Bunny Band with similar characteristics. The difference is that it increases the effectiveness of regular hits, not attack power in general.

C-Class W-Engines

[Identity] Base B. Increases the hero's defense stat.
[Reverb] Mark III B. Boosts attack for all team members at once. One of the best representatives of C-Class W-Engines.
[Vortex] Arrow B. Increases the effectiveness of stunning.
[Magnetic Storm] Alpha B. Decently boosts anomaly mastery. However, the recovery time for the passive skill is unjustifiably long.
[Magnetic Storm] Bravo B. Almost a complete analogue of the previous W-Engine.
[Lunar] Noviluna B. Increases the chance of critical attacks.
[Lunar] Pleniluna B. Boosts the damage of counterattacks and thrusts during dashes and dodges.
[Lunar] Decrescent B. Increases the effectiveness of all attacks. However, the passive skill triggers rarely, making this W-Engine hard to call useful.

D-Class W-Engines

Note that items in this category are noticeably worse than their C and B-Class counterparts. They should only be used temporarily until you find a better option.

[Identity] Inflection B. Slightly increases defense.
[Magnetic Storm] Charlie B. Speeds up energy recovery.
[Vortex] Hatcher B. A downgraded version of Arrow from the previous tier.
[Vortex] Revolver B. Increases the stun effect during special attacks.
[Reverb] Mark 1 B. Boosts the effect for all team members. The passive skill only triggers after using a special attack.
[Reverb] Mark 2 B. An analogue of the previous W-Engine, oriented towards support characters.
