▍Kafka Character Overview

▍Kafka Skill Priority

For most Kafka builds, prioritize her skills in the following order:

Core Skill > Special Attack > Basic Attack > Chain Attack > Assist > Dodge

1. Core Skill

Core Skill is Kafka’s top priority. It provides a large Anomaly Proficiency boost and a strong teamwide Disorder DMG bonus that forms the foundation of her kit.

2. Special Attack

Special Attack is her second priority. Her EX Special Attack is central to entering her Domain, building Anomaly, and triggering powerful Electric Arcs.

3. Basic Attack

Basic Attack ranks high because her Hold Basic Attack can trigger Polarity Disorder without removing the existing Attribute Anomaly, making it a key part of her rotation.

4. Chain Attack

Chain Attack improves her burst contribution during Stun windows and can be upgraded after the core skills.

5. Assist and Dodge

Assist and Dodge can be upgraded last, as Kafka primarily focuses on Anomaly application and

▍Kafka Best W-Engine

Kafka’s Signature W-Engine > Timeweaver > Weeping Gemini / Rainforest Gourmet

Kafka’s Signature W-Engine

Kafka’s Signature W-Engine is her best-in-slot option.

It provides high Anomaly Proficiency and a large amount of Energy Regen, which synergizes extremely well with her Additional Ability that converts excess Energy Regen into Anomaly Mastery. The passive also grants stacking Anomaly Proficiency on EX Special Attacks and strong personal + Disorder damage bonuses at full stacks.

Timeweaver

Timeweaver is an excellent alternative Anomaly W-Engine.

It increases Electric Anomaly Buildup Rate, grants Anomaly Proficiency when hitting enemies with Attribute Anomalies, and boosts Disorder DMG when Anomaly Proficiency is high enough.

Weeping Gemini / Rainforest Gourmet

Weeping Gemini is a strong A-Rank option that stacks Anomaly Proficiency whenever the squad applies Attribute Anomalies.

Rainforest Gourmet provides Anomaly Proficiency and stacking ATK based on Energy consumed, making both solid budget choices.

Recommendation: Kafka’s Signature is the clear first choice. Timeweaver is the best premium alternative, while Weeping Gemini and Rainforest Gourmet are excellent free-to-play or budget options.

▍Kafka Best Drive Discs

4-Pc Freedom Blues + 2-Pc Moonlight Lullaby / Swing Jazz

4-Pc Freedom Blues is currently the recommended main set. It provides Anomaly Proficiency and significantly improves Kafka’s ability to apply Shock by reducing Electric Anomaly Buildup RES.

2-Pc Moonlight Lullaby or Swing Jazz is preferred for the Energy Regen, which helps maintain EX Special Attack uptime and feeds her Additional Ability’s Anomaly Mastery conversion

Alternative Options

▍Kafka Recommended Stats

Substat Priority: Anomaly Proficiency > ATK% > PEN

Energy Regen is especially important for Kafka because her Additional Ability converts Energy Regen above a certain threshold into Anomaly Mastery. Aim for enough Energy Regen to support frequent EX Special Attacks while stacking as much Anomaly Proficiency as possible.

▍Kafka Best Team

Kafka performs best in Disorder-focused teams that can apply multiple Attribute Anomalies and capitalize on her teamwide Disorder DMG buffs.

Team 1: Kafka + Yuzuha + Nangong Yu

Yuzuha provides strong Anomaly and Disorder buffs, while Nangong Yu offers excellent Stun windows, extra Anomaly Buildup, and additional Polarity Disorders.

Team 2: Kafka + Vivian + Yuzuha

Vivian pairs well as an off-field Anomaly applicator, creating frequent Disorder opportunities that Kafka can fully exploit.

Team 3: Kafka + Remielle + Yuzuha

Remielle is another strong partner seen in beta clears, offering solid personal damage and good synergy in Anomaly teams.

▍Pull Advice for Kafka in ZZZ 3.4

Players Who Want a Strong Disorder DPS

Kafka is a solid pull if you need a high-performing Electric Anomaly Agent who can both deal strong personal Disorder damage and buff the entire team’s Disorder output. Her kit synergizes well with existing Anomaly supports and Stun units, making her a valuable addition to Disorder-focused teams.

Players With Limited Pull Resources

If your roster already has strong Anomaly DPS options or you are saving for other upcoming Agents, it may be wiser to wait for more post-release testing. Her Signature W-Engine is a meaningful upgrade, but obtaining the Agent first should generally take priority if you plan to use her.

Pull Summary

Kafka is a promising S-Rank Electric Anomaly Agent with strong Disorder damage and valuable teamwide buffs. Her final value will depend on her release-version performance and available team synergies.
