Zenless Builds
Proto Punk

Proto Punk

Carefully selected as a recommended Drive Disc series by the Hollow Investigative Association. It offers a significant Ether increase, but also requires more effort to control.

Set Effects

2-piece

Increases Shield effect by 15%.

4-piece

When any squad member triggers a Defensive Assist or Evasive Assist, all squad members deal 15% increased DMG, lasting 10s. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.

Who Should Use Proto Punk

Ranks and notes come from each Agent's build guide on Zenless Builds.

Caesar
CaesarDisc set #2 of 4
4-pc Proto Punk + 2-pc Shockstar Disco
It suits her kit very well. The 2-piece strengthens shields and the 4-piece buffs the whole team's DMG on every Defensive or Evasive Assist. Use it when Astral Voice is already taken and you're comfortable timing Perfect Assists.
Lycaon
LycaonDisc set #3 of 4
4-pc Proto Punk + 2-pc King of the Summit
A niche set: 15% squad DMG for 10s after a Defensive or Evasive Assist. Use it when someone else already carries Astral Voice and you're confident timing assists; otherwise 4-piece Swing Jazz is more reliable.
Qingyi
QingyiDisc set #3 of 4
4-pc Proto Punk + 2-pc King of the Summit
A niche choice when a teammate already wears Astral Voice and you trigger Perfect Assists often: +15% team DMG for 10s. If you're not comfortable with the timing, pick another set.
Anby
AnbyDisc set #3 of 4
4-pc Proto Punk + 2-pc King of the Summit
A situational buff set that gives team-wide DMG after Defensive or Evasive Assists. Pick it when someone already holds Astral Voice and you're confident timing your Assists.
Pulchra
PulchraDisc set #3 of 4
4-pc Proto Punk + 2-pc King of the Summit
A niche pick for teams that land Perfect Assists often: the whole team gains 15% DMG for 10s. Good when Astral Voice is already taken and you time Assists well; otherwise pick another set.
Seth Lowell
Seth LowellDisc set #3 of 4
4-pc Proto Punk + 2-pc Swing Jazz
15% bigger shields and +15% team DMG whenever someone uses a Defensive or Evasive Assist. A great alternative or complement when 4-piece Swing Jazz is already taken; 2-piece Hormone Punk is also a good choice.
Pan Yinhu
Pan YinhuDisc set #4 of 4
4-pc Proto Punk + 2-pc Hormone Punk
A niche option: +15% team DMG whenever a squad member triggers a Defensive or Evasive Assist. Only worth it if the team already has Astral Voice and he handles most of the assists; if you're not comfortable timing them, Swing Jazz is better.
