In this team, Ellen is the main damage dealer while Lycaon focuses on inflicting days on targeted enemies. Rina's buff abilities are enough to carry the team easily through the toughest of battles. Her PEN ratio boost is also great for depleting the enemy’s DEF. For the Bangboo, you can use Butler to get extra ene

The second level is a bit more complicated but the concept is similar. In this area, there is also a hidden chest that players will come across which they can collect before moving onto the next level. In order to lure the Bangboo to the tight corridor, players will need to press the button on the bottom left before they unlock the path. After doing so, simply move behind the Golden Bangboo until it goes through th

Although her design is hardly simple, it’s believable while still carrying those important streetwear aspects throughout. The only thing that seems off or too bulky might be the canisters strapped to her back, but even then, when you factor in her flaming sword, their presence on her person makes a lot of se

To complete her build, the best Drive Discs for Anby in Zenless Zone Zero are a 4-piece set of Shockstar Disco and a 2-piece set of Thunder Metal . This particular setup is due to the different bonuses these Drive Discs can offer depending on the number of pieces equip

Hoshimi Miyabi is a member of the Hollow Special Operations Section 6 and has an exceedingly unique character design compared to many of the other characters in Zenless Zone Zero. Hoshimi, unlike the other playable characters, doesn’t lean into that streetwear fashion really h

So, while I think ZZZ's combat is majorly impacted by being available on phones, the game's simplicity is also probably intended to some degree . HoYoverse games serve a wide audience, and as much as I personally like character action games, the genre as a whole is relatively niche. I still think there's a middle ground that the game could've found between the Dante of Devil May Cry 4 and 5 - one of the most complex characters to control in any video game - and ZZZ 's roster, but I recognize that trending more towards simplicity is probably the better bet for widespread success

Soldier 11 is a member of the Obol Squad, a group that is part of the New Erdu Defense Force Obsidian Division. Unlike many other fighters in the game, Soldier 11 actually has a design that lends itself toward fighting and comb

**Later levels and modes in Zenless Zone Zero also ramp up the difficulty ** , making enemies more aggressive, varied, and numerous. 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.

Finally, even though I think it could be better, I do want to take some time to recognize that **ZZZ isn't entirely devoid of depth ** , even if I think there could be more. Each character in the game has at least one unique mechanic to distinguish them from the rest, like Anby's delayed fourth hit or Soldier 11's timed fire slashes (emulating Nero's Exceed mechanics from Devil May Cry ), and like most other mobile action games, ZZZ does derive some depth from swapping between characters instead of sticking to just one, which can lead to interesting teambuilding setups and synergies.

The unfortunate reality for even the best mobile games is that phone screens aren't that good at emulating an actual controller . For any game that needs buttons to perform actions, those buttons have to be present on the touchscreen - meaning that they have to both take enough space to be easily pressed, but also leave enough empty space so that the game itself is still visible. As a result, the standard for any mobile action game is to cram all the buttons into one corner, with a mock joystick for controlling movement in the corner across from them.

Still, each faction has a cast of characters with unique quirks and abilities they bring to the table, and today, we’re going to show you who’s who of each faction, and what those abilities are. If you don’t see your favorite, don’t worry! As the game opens up, so will this list. En

Players will need to have a short dialogue with Eous, followed by another dialogue with the Bangboos outside at the Parking Lot. After this, the Puzzle Hollow commission "Proxy Parent: Gold Only" will be availa

There'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, 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.
