Zenless Zone Zero is packed with secrets, strategy, and fun.
Whether you’re just starting out or aiming for endgame content, I’ve got some tips to help you make the most of your adventure.
From managing your resources to building the perfect team, we’ll cover what you need to know to progress smoothly and enjoy the game at your own pace.
Equip Your Characters Wisely
Why W-Engines (Weapons) Matter?
Let me tell you, if you want to boost your character’s damage to MAX, you’ve got to pay attention to W-Engines. Think of them like weapons in other games. You can mostly find these from the gacha, mission rewards, or the W-Engine shop.
Now, I know B-rank engines are everywhere, but here’s a tip: save those W-Engine Chips for A-rank W-engines.
Trust me, they’re worth it.
You’ll see a big 25% jump in both main and sub-stats.
iHow to Obtain W-Engine Chips
You’re probably wondering how to get more W-Engine Chips, right?
Well, you’ve got a couple of options.
You can recycle A-rank W-engines or finish those weekly boss hunts. Just keep in mind, you won’t get tons this way.
My advice?
Focus on grabbing six chips whenever you can. That’s what you need to craft an A-rank W-engine.
It might take some time, but it’s totally worth it.
Tip #1:
You might not hear about it much, but let me tell you, VR Training missions are a goldmine. Head over to the Agent Academy and you can rack up rewards 20 times over by knocking out different training exercises.
Plus, it’s a great way for you to get the hang of the basics and figure out how each character works.
Level Up Your Inter-Knot
Focus on Experience Points
Your Inter-Knot level (that’s your account level) is a big deal. It unlocks all sorts of stuff in the game and affects what rewards you get.
Want to bump it up?
Start completing these side quests, missions, and story bits. Trust me, the higher your level, the better the reward you’ll get when you use up your Battery Charge (that’s stamina to you and me).
Exploring Timeslots
Here’s another pro tip: make sure you’re checking out maps both day and night.
You’d be surprised how much extra content you can unlock by doing missions and exploring at different times.
Need to change the time?
Just hit that Rest button or dive into some missions in the Hollow Deep Dive System.
Tip #2:
Zenless Zone Zero is filled with secrets that can often be exchanged with Mew Mew for rewards. Fully explore each map area for hidden loot, especially in Combat commissions and Rally commissions.
Use Your Stamina Wisely
Prioritize Combat Simulation
Focus on leveling up materials for at least six characters in Combat Simulation first. Trust me, you’ll need this for the tough Shiyu Defense endgame mode.
Once you’ve got your characters and their skills up to snuff, then you can switch gears to Routine Cleanup and Expert Challenge.
Farming Disc Drives
Now, Disc Drives are super important for beefing up your characters. While Routine Cleanup is great for farming these, I’d say focus on building up your character early on.
Oh, and don’t forget to jump into Expert Challenge to take on bosses. You’ll snag some crucial stuff like Higher Dimensional Data and Audio Boosters.
Strategic Growth
Watch Your Battery Charges
Here’s a pro tip: don’t blow your Battery Charges or Ether Batteries right before you level up your Inter-Knot rank. If you time it right, you’ll get way more bang for your buck.
Don’t Skip Hollow Zero Mode
Hollow Zero mode is a goldmine, folks. Not only do you get all sorts of goodies, but it also boosts your License level.
Plus, you can earn Boopons through Bounty Commissions. I’d say focus on Boopons first, then later you can invest in specific Master Tapes or Tuning Calibrators.
These let you zero in on main stats for crafted Disc Drives. Pretty neat, huh?
Tip #3:
If you’re eyeing the Shiyu Defense endgame mode, listen up! Stun role characters like Anby, Von Lycaon, and Koleda are absolute gold.
When you’re putting your team together, think about how they’ll work as a unit. Don’t just stack your team with attack-heavy characters. Mix it up!
Gameplay Tips and Mindset
Get Good at Swap Cancels
Here’s a pro tip: master the swap cancel technique. It’s a real time-saver during those long animations. And let me tell you, being quick can make a big difference in time trial modes like Shiyu Defense.
Enjoy the Game at Your Own Pace
Remember, ZZZ isn’t a race. It’s more like a long, fun game. So, take your time and enjoy it. Don’t stress about chasing specific characters or worry about missing out. The game’s still growing, so what’s hot today might not be tomorrow.
To wrap it up, if you want to progress through Zenless Zone Zero, you’ve got to plan smart, use your resources wisely, and build a balanced team. If you’re patient and follow these tips, you’ll have a blast playing ZZZ.
