## IntroductionNew Eridu is heating up again thanks to the Sons of Calydon’s resident pyromaniac, Burnice. Beyond her combat prowess, she has a more lighthearted objective: capturing a photo of an elusive, fast-moving cat that seems to outpace even a Golden Bangboo. This event, which coincides with her birthday celebrations, allows players to assist her in securing that perfect shot in exchange for exclusive rewards.This guide provides a breakdown of the photo event mechanics, an assessment of Burnice’s standing in the current meta, and advice on whether to invest your Polychrome in her upcoming banner.

She eventually devised a strategy: offering it three birthday-themed treats to calm it down long enough for a photo. Players should expect to craft or acquire these items through event tasks. While specific dates remain pending, it is best to jump into this time-limited activity as soon as it appears.### Is Burnice a Must-Pull?Burnice stands out as a premier Fire Anomaly agent, particularly for players utilizing Disorder-focused compositions. Her ability to rapidly inflict Fire Anomaly and maintain the “Afterburn” status makes her an exceptional choice for both primary and secondary damage roles.**Advantages:*** Rapid fire-status application and high Anomaly damage output.* Synergizes perfectly with Burn and Disorder team archetypes.* Highly adaptable between main DPS and sub-DPS roles.**Considerations:*** Reaches peak performance when paired with specific allies like Jane Doe or Lucy.* Her signature weapon is a significant boost, though accessible alternatives like “The Vault” or “Rainforest Gourmet” are viable for free-to-play users.For those on a budget, securing a base copy of Burnice is highly recommended if you run disorder teams. Constellations are purely optional luxuries.### Recommended Team CompositionsBurnice shines brightest in squads built to trigger constant Disorder reactions.| Team Strategy | Core Characters | Primary Function || :— | :— | :— || **Elite Disorder** | Burnice, Jane Doe, Caesar/Lucy | High-speed anomaly accumulation. || **Fire Hypercarry** | Burnice, Soldier 11, Lucy | Consistent fire damage amplification. || **Accessible Anomaly** | Burnice, Piper, Soukaku | Versatile, F2P-friendly support. |For detailed breakdowns, visit the [GenshinBuilds Zenless Zone Zero section](https://genshin-builds.com/zenless).### Preparation: Upgrade MaterialsIf you plan to add Burnice to your roster, prepare these essential resources ahead of time:* **Fire Anomaly Chips:** Roughly 9 from Notorious Hunts.* **Phantom Drops:** About 25 per tier via Routine missions.* **Anomaly Skill Materials:** 40+ from HIA simulations.* **Dennys:** Aim for roughly 2 million.### Frequently Asked Questions* **Event Duration:** Likely 1–2 weeks, similar to standard limited events.* **Does she work with Soldier 11?** Yes, she serves a distinct role as an Anomaly expert rather than a pure DPS.* **Is she F2P friendly?** Absolutely. Use craftable W-Engines and farm 4pc Freedom Blues or 2pc Chaos Jazz sets.### Final ThoughtsBurnice remains a cornerstone of the meta.
