Manato Character Release

---

Manato the second rupture agent ever, released for Zenless Zone Zero's version 2.3 first half. He is an A-Rank Fire Rupture agent who attacks using Assist Follow-Ups and a normal attack combo that you can weave Special Attacks into. To use his EX Special Attack, he needs to be in the Molten Edge state to consume the needed Adrenaline.

Some of the best teammates for Manato are characters that can help him increase his Sheer Force being Lucia and/or Pan Yinhu alongside a stun unit such as Ju Fufu, Trigger, or Pulchra.

For his W-Engines, the best free W-engine you can get is his own W-Engine, Grill O' Wisp, obtained through Signal Search. For S-Ranks, the best is Yixuan's Qingming Birdcage W-Engine (also the only S-Rank Rupture Engine).

When it comes to 4-piece Disc Drive sets, Yunkui Tales is the absolute best due to the buffs it gives Rupture agents and really the only one you should be using, but Inferno Metal is usable if you have a good enough set, while for 2-piece sets, anything to increase either CRIT stat is his best with HP or Fire DMG being the second best (so if you are using Yunkui Tales as your 4-piece, then use Inferno as your 2-piece and vice versa).
