Orphie & Magus
Who is Orphie & Magus?
Orphie & Magus is a limited S-rank Fire Attack agent from the Obol Squad faction in Zenless Zone Zero. Originally a Defense Force soldier named Orpheus, her body became Orphie while her soul became Magus — the two operating in tandem. She functions as an off-field Aftershock DPS and team ATK buffer, automatically triggering her EX Special: Crimson Vortex when conditions are met. Her Zeroed In buff raises all squad members' ATK by 130 upon landing her laser, making her a dual-role offensive support and sub-DPS.
Kit Summary
Orphie builds Bottled Heat charges through attacks and cooldowns. At threshold, she automatically triggers EX Special: Crimson Vortex even while off-field — dealing multi-hit Fire Aftershock DMG without consuming field time.
When the laser from Crimson Vortex hits enemies, all squad members gain Zeroed In for 12s, increasing Agent ATK by 130. A persistent, low-maintenance team ATK buff.
Fire blade attacks from multiple abilities count as Aftershock DMG, synergising with Aftershock-scaling Drive Discs and teammates with Aftershock bonuses.
Crimson Vortex fires a multi-hit Fire laser dealing Aftershock damage and refreshing the Zeroed In ATK buff.
Passive team bonus active with Seed and other Obol Squad members.
Build Guide
🔮 Best Relic / Echo Set
Shadow Harmony (4pc) — Aftershock DMG amplification. Best-in-slot for maximising Crimson Vortex and blade Aftershock damage output.
⚔ Best Light Cone / Weapon
Signature W-Engine: Bellicose Blaze — CRIT Rate + Fire DEF Ignore on Aftershock triggers. Strongly recommended. F2P: Severed Innocence (A-rank) — ATK scaling; Gilded Blossom or Marcato Desire are other accessible fallbacks.
📊 Substats Priority
👥 Best Teams
Obol Squad Aftershock: Orphie & Magus + Seed + Trigger (Seed Electric DPS; Trigger off-field Stun; Orphie Fire off-field Aftershock + team ATK buff)
Aftershock Double: Orphie & Magus + Soldier 0 Anby + Pulchra (Anby Electric Aftershock DPS; Pulchra Physical Stun + Aftershock; Orphie Fire off-field)
F2P Verdict
Orphie & Magus is a limited S-rank. She is most impactful in Seed's team — players without Seed will find her Zeroed In buff still broadly useful.
Severed Innocence is the most accessible W-Engine alternative. Soldier 0 Anby (A-rank standard) is a strong accessible DPS pairing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Orphie & Magus need to be on-field to deal damage?
No — her Bottled Heat mechanic automatically triggers EX Special: Crimson Vortex off-field when the threshold is reached. This makes her a strong off-field sub-DPS who contributes damage and ATK buffs with minimal field time, freeing rotations for on-field DPS like Seed.
What is the Zeroed In buff?
Zeroed In activates when Orphie's laser hits an enemy, granting all squad members +130 ATK for 12 seconds. This buff refreshes on each Crimson Vortex trigger, providing near-permanent ATK amplification for the entire team as long as she is cycling normally.
Is Orphie & Magus good outside Fire teams?
Her ATK buff via Zeroed In is universal — all squad members benefit regardless of element. However her Drive Disc damage and DEF Ignore are specifically Fire/Aftershock oriented. She is best in Fire or mixed Aftershock compositions but the ATK buff provides some value in any team.
