Nekomata is one of the characters from the permanent banner in Zenless Zone Zero, and she is a Physical Attribute character specializing in DPS, as her specialty is Attack.
Her greatest strengths are her immense mobility (she is very fast) and the speed of her attacks. She is the kind of character where, when you use her, you'll constantly see a flurry of numbers on the screen.
However, to unlock her full potential, it's crucial to perform Dodge Counters consistently, as this significantly boosts her damage. Additionally, her signature W-Engine (Steel Cushion) almost forces her to always attack enemies from behind, which complicates her gameplay a bit. This issue is somewhat resolved with her M1, but not everyone will have her at M1, let alone beyond that.
