To unleash optimal rotation for Burnice in Zenless Zone Zero, it is important to understand how her mechanisms work. Here are the crucial aspects of her kit:

Core Passive- Nitro-Fuel Cocktail

Burnice expends energy to accumulate Heat, which caps out at 100 units. She can access the Nitro-Fuel Cocktail state at 50 Heat to apply the Scorched effect on enemies by tagging them with an ability. If any squad member hits the target afflicted with the debuff, it triggers Afterburn. This effect deals Fire damage, scaling on Burnice’s ATK stat.

EX Special Attack

Unleash a fire blast forward, inflicting Fire DMG. Press and hold to charge, boosting the move's power. Anti-Interrupt level is increased while using this skill.
When Burnice has sufficient energy, activating the EX Special Attack will cause her to shoot fire with a single-handed flamethrower. Drag the joystick while spraying to execute a sidestep dodge, adjusting your position in the corresponding direction.
Upon pressing the EX Special Attack again, she uses a double flamethrower and consumes energy to attack.

Basic Attack

Unleashes up to five attacks in the front, dealing Physical DMG and Fire DMG.
Hold Basic Attack to spin continuously while spraying flames around, followed by a Finishing Move that inflicts Fire DMG. Continue holding the button to extend the spray duration.

How to play Burnice optimally in Zenless Zone Zero

Here are some general tips to keep in mind to properly use Burnice during combat:

Burnice core gameplay is tied to Heat, so managing this resource is crucial. She can generate it by consuming Energy via her EX Special Attack.
After accumulating sufficient Heat, use the charged Basic Attack to expend the meter and apply the Scorched effect. Switch to an ally to deal damage, preferably another Anomaly unit, to deal Disorder damage.
Burnice excels as a rotational DPS, so repeat the above step to maximize her combat potential.
Use her single-handed flamethrower to conserve Energy in a rotational team. However, the double flamethrower is a better option while using her as a primary damage dealer.
