Hey all, I strongly believe this is the best build for Zenyatta because it provides the highest effective damage increase, highest stadium cash, highest healing and very strong 1v1 potential. This is due to the synergy between "Inner Peace" and "Enlightenment" along with the strongest combination of items for increased DPS.
Last season I hit All-Star all roles and I am consistently a GM Zenyatta OTP. I see a lot of players building Zenyatta very wrong and I hope this guide changes that so that all my fellow monks can hit a new PB this season.

Round 1 Power: "Inner Peace" is potentially not the strongest power for this round but it will allow us to get more cash and set us up for the combo of pairing it with "Enlightenment" on round 3 for a ridiculous combo that provides Zenyatta with unmatched 1v1 potential and cash generation.

Log InI wonder if there is a case for Dual Harmony over Inner Peace. Obviously you lose sustain, but your overall healing might be higher, once you are dealing a lot of damage.
does inner peace work with enlightment? its kinda hard to test
also, enlightment first is better, you just take two green hp items R1 and stack even more R2 because they are better early(10% hp increase vs only 5% damage). in general your build lacks spamming green hp items, it is better to try to have epics with many green items than many rare ones, the rare items are not that strong overall.
Build Code is: 611DT
would you not be better with enlightenment first anyway? surely that gives more cash?
Pretty new to this site! Is there any import codes to find on these builds? Also, love this build!
Please note that the interaction with enlightenment and inner peace is currently bugged and only works on discorded targets for self healing. Still very good but will be better when they fix it.
This looks great! Can't wait to try it out! I was really struggling to find value with Zen in the lower ranks but this build and prioritizing the 1v1 makes a lot of sense to me.
It’s impossible to increase your attack speed simply by purchasing the Advanced Nanobiotics item. And going for the Crusader Hydraulics item is unnecessary you should get the Reinforced Titanium item instead.
