If you’ve played Zenless Zone Zero or any other gacha game for a while, you probably already know that there’s always a lack of resources to upgrade characters unless you spend some money on the battle pass. This forces F2P players to choose the characters they want to upgrade carefu
Like with Honkai Star Rail , **enemies in Zenless have damage they are strong or weak against ** , which plays heavily into the best teams for each. For the Dead End Butcher, Ether and Ice are the best options. This means the current limited S-ranks Ellen Joe and the upcoming Zhu Yuan are top choices. For those without them, Shock or Fire teams with Anton, Grace, or Soldier 11 can still work, but take lon**It would be a mistake to blame every problem with ZZZ ‘s combat solely on the game being designed for phones ** , though, especially since other mobile games show that there’s at least a little more room for complexity. For example, while Punishing Gray Raven ‘s Ping (essentially a simple color-matching mini-game in place of a single skill button) system wasn’t something I personally enjoyed, it does allow characters to have three special moves in addition to basic attack chains and ultimates, expanding the possible design space for that game’s characters.
The Unknown Corruption Complex is the easiest boss to take down, regardless of roster. Being robotic means it is extremely susceptible to Shock damage . This makes Anby and Anton, two easy-to-get A-rank characters, excellent choices to minimize risk. If Grace or Rina can be added to this team, then the challenge is dropped immensely. The only downside to this boss is how, currently, its drops are only needed for one of Zenless Zone Zero ‘s factioBeing designed for mobile devices is far from being ZZZ ‘s only problem – the TV segments can overstay their welcome, the game forces long gaps between story events, and gacha as a whole is controversial, to say the least. In my opinion, though, the need to make concessions so that the game is playable on phones has the single biggest impact on the game’s core combat, limiting its potential depth. While I’ve certainly enjoyed my time with **Zenless Zone Zero ** , I can’t help but wonder how much better its combat could’ve been.
Zenless Zone Zero ‘s Notorious Hunt bosses are a perfect mix of challenge and ease of entry. The removal of cost makes them flow better with the already limited daily grinding that is offered. Though the boss fights may not be mechanically complicated, the pacing and power behind them prove to make up for it. Thus, it is worth the time invested for players to take on _Zenless Zone Zero _ ‘s weekly bosses for the generous rewards that can be recei
As a member of the Belobog Heavy Industries Faction , Koleda embodies the ‘heavy’ part with a giant, intimidating hammer that can pummel enemies into the ground. She’s a Stun Agent with a high Impact stat , which means she can quickly increase an enemy’s Daze and eventually Stun them, creating the perfect opening for other teammates to swoop in and finish them
Ben is the best teammate overall for Koleda, as having these two on the same team makes Koleda’s special attack and her Ultimate more powerful, with Ben diving in to dish out some extra damage. Anton is a great option to round out your squad, mainly because he’s an Attack Agent who can follow up with loads of damage after Koleda has Stunned a group of enemThere’s a lot to like about _Zenless Zone Zero _ ; as can probably be expected from a HoYoverse title at this point, the game has top-notch visuals, exceptionally stylish presentation, and a level of consistent polish that even some of the industry’s biggest games can often fail to achieve. But, even putting aside some of the game’s more obvious negatives, Airplane like the controversial TV traversal system or the typical HoYoverse gacha grind , there’s one core aspect of the game that I think holds back its (admittedly very flashy and stylish) combat.
It may not seem like a lot, but making sure that you pick up Howl’s scratch off every day is crucial if you’re not looking to spend any real money. The scratch off have their own gacha rates, gifting you up to 100 Polychromes every
These missions will give you a handful of Polychromes to spend on pulls so make sure you’re checking them off daily. The weekly missions will be a bit more involved such as taking a trip to Hollow Zero. Although more difficult, you’ll be able to collect double rewards as they will level up your battle pass as well as your progress in any one miss

As I progress further into the game, there are fewer periods of “downtime” when I’m simply just repeating the same basic attack chains, because the game has started to require me to be more mindful of enemy attacks. I wish there were more attack chains or skills, but what is there is flashy and satisfying to use, and for some characters, basic attacks and skills can interact in interesting ways.
