W-Engine effect

Rank SStun

Wind Seeker

When the equipper's Aftershock hits an enemy, causing Electric DMG, the target's DEF is reduced by 25% for 5s. Passive effects of the same name do not stack. When this effect is triggered, if the equipper is not the active character, they gain 1 stack of Spirit Lock, up to a maximum of 3 stacks. This can trigger only once per use of a skill. Each stack of Spirit Lock increases the equipper's Impact by 4%, lasting 12s. The duration of each stack is calculated separately. At full stacks of Spirit Lock, the equipper's Impact increases by an additional 8%. *Stats shown are at Base level.

How to Get This W-Engine

Pull it from Signal Search using Master Tapes / Encrypted Master Tapes (bought with Polychrome) — S-rank W-Engines get their own banner, usually alongside the matching character's banner.

Trade for it at the Gadget Shop's Box Galaxy section (Sixth Street): costs W-Engine Components + W-Engine Chips + Denny; Chips come from disassembling spare W-Engines.

A handful of A/B-rank W-Engines unlock through Proxy Primer trials or as story/event rewards instead of the gacha — not every W-Engine is pullable.

Official Artwork / Lore

Spectral Gaze

Her life was one of seeking. Seeking companions, enemies, the truth, warmth. She reached out time and again, only to have it slip through her fingers. If one day she finds the missing fragments of her incomplete soul, will she be able to hear the melody in the wind once more? "Target has returned to the second floor of the video store. It sounds like they're preparing to sleep. Update on their location has been filed." — Trigger, apparently tracking and documenting a particular target.

How to read this W-Engine page

Every W-Engine has 5 Refinement ranks (R1→R5): refinement ONLY strengthens the passive effect — the numbers in the table above run from left (R1, unrefined) to right (R5, max refinement via 4 duplicates or Overclock materials); Base ATK and the Advanced Stat (CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG/ATK%/PEN Ratio/Anomaly Proficiency...) do NOT change with refinement, only with the engine's level. "Best Agents for this W-Engine" prioritizes agents whose real build actually recommends this engine; if that data isn't available yet, the page falls back to agents sharing the same specialty as a rough guide. "Alternatives of the same specialty" lists other W-Engines with the same role — useful when you don't own the engine shown on this page.

FAQ

What is Spectral Gaze in Zenless Zone Zero?

Spectral Gaze is a rank S W-Engine built for the Stun specialty in Zenless Zone Zero — equip it on an Agent of the matching specialty to unlock the full passive effect; see the base stats and the full R1→R5 Refinement table in the sections above.

Which Agents should use Spectral Gaze?

Spectral Gaze fits Stun specialty Agents best, with 3 recommended characters including Trigger, Ju Fufu, Nangong Yu — see the full list with portraits in the "Best Agents for this W-Engine" section above.

How much Denny and material does it take to upgrade Spectral Gaze, and where do I farm it?

Leveling Spectral Gaze through every milestone takes roughly 4 W-Engine components and Denny ×400,000, Stun Component ×4, Reinforced Stun Component ×32 Denny combined — the components drop from Combat Simulation; see the exact breakdown per milestone and the Battery cost in the "How Much You Need" and "Where to Farm" sections above.

Is Overclocking Spectral Gaze worth it?

Overclocking only strengthens Spectral Gaze's passive effect from ★1 up to ★5 (5 copies) — it never changes Base ATK or the sub-stat, so getting the base copy matters far more; treat extra copies as a bonus.

Where do I get Spectral Gaze?

Mostly through Signal Search gacha (Polychrome); a few A/B-rank W-Engines are tradeable at the Gadget Shop's Box Galaxy or come from story/event rewards — see the "How to Get" section above for details.
