Jueyuan Fufu is about to debut in Zenless Zone Zero, and her signature W-Engine — Fuhuoluolu — has now been officially revealed. But is it worth pulling for? In this article, we’ll break down the engine’s effects, evaluate its strength, and suggest alternative W-Engines if you don’t plan on going for the signature.
Signature W-Engine Overview: Fuhuoluolu
★ Advanced Attribute: ATK Boost
Fuhuoluolu is currently the only limited S-rank W-Engine for Stun characters that provides an ATK% bonus. This is important because Jueyuan Fufu’s off-field stun mechanics scale significantly with base ATK. To fully activate her core passive (which grants a 50% Crit DMG buff), she needs around 3400 base ATK and 50% Crit Rate — which puts a heavy burden on stat investment.
The ATK bonus from Fuhuoluolu directly helps ease that pressure, making it far easier for her to reach the necessary stat thresholds. While some of this can be handled through optimizing Drive Disc main stats, the engine’s attribute undeniably makes the road to "graduation" smoother.
W-Engine Effect Breakdown
1. Increased Daze (Stun) Value
Fufu’s main sources of Daze come from her Enhanced Special Attack, Chain Attack, and Ultimate. This engine enhances all three, meaning her overall stun contribution is effectively increased — helping compensate for her natural focus on high ATK over Daze scaling.
2. Teamwide DMG Bonus
After activating either her Chain Attack or Ultimate, Fufu applies a 30-second teamwide DMG buff. This can stack up to 2 times, granting 20% total team DMG bonus. It not only boosts her own utility but enhances overall team performance.
Is Fuhuoluolu a Must-Pull?
Overall, Fuhuoluolu offers well-rounded benefits — Daze enhancement, team support, and graduation ease. But from a practical standpoint, its value is limited mainly to those benefits.
For most players, the W-Engine is not a high-value pull. With sufficient Drive Disc investment, Jueyuan Fufu can reach her required stats even without it. The 20% team DMG buff, while nice, isn’t game-breaking. Simply put, she’s a “0+0” character that works perfectly fine without her signature W-Engine.
If you’re looking to strengthen her, her Signature Mindscape Cinema (Mindscape 1) is a better investment. It offers Crit Rate bonuses (also helping with stat requirements), adds utility through enhanced Daze vulnerability, and improves uptime via early activation — all more impactful than the engine’s raw stats.
Alternative W-Engines
■ Scorchgear (Permanent S-Rank)
As a highly versatile S-rank engine available in the 2.0 free selection, many players already picked Scorchgear. It offers solid base ATK and bonus Impact (Daze) scaling. When paired with an ATK main stat on slot 6 Drive Disc, Fufu can still reach her ideal stats easily. Additionally, it helps regenerate energy while off-field — highly compatible with Fufu’s playstyle.
■ Man Is Blade (Permanent A-Rank)
This A-rank engine provides automatic energy regen and increases Fufu’s Impact stat. With stable energy and high Daze potential, you can confidently run full ATK main stats across slots 4–6. It’s a great high-value A-rank alternative for Fufu.
■ Precious Bone Matrix (Permanent A-Rank)
If you already have this engine built and unassigned, it can work decently for Fufu. However, its synergy isn’t as strong due to her more gradual Daze output. Compared to Man Is Blade, this one is slightly lower in priority.
Final Thoughts
Fuhuoluolu is a solid, well-rounded W-Engine that supports both damage and utility, and helps ease Jueyuan Fufu’s stat requirements. But considering how powerful and versatile Scorchgear already is, and how much more impactful her Mindscape 1 is overall, the best approach might be to skip the engine and go for a 1+0 setup instead.
