Zenless Zone Zero 1.7 Banner Characters Overview
The character evaluation was based on their strengths and weaknesses, the possibility of implementation in F2P assembly without purchasing signature amplifiers, and flexibility within squads. The relevance of legendary agents in the combat content of the next versions and the dependence on other S-rank agents were separately taken into .
Vivian
Vivian (Anomaly, Ether) — a character flexible in of time distribution on the field, suitable for Chaos mechanics groups. In battle, requires constant switching to the second Anomaly DD in order to simultaneously accumulate two attribute effects. Weakly implemented as the main or only DD of the pack due to slow attacks, therefore requires the presence of an active damage dealer, for example, Yanagi.
The elf's mechanics are implemented through an enhanced special attack of squad , respectively, builds with the buffer Astra Yao and another fighter with frequent use of an enhanced special skill come out on top. When Chaos is activated, the girl charges additional damage, and thanks to the ive, she increases the damage multiplier from the "white" reaction and the Ethereal Anomaly Infection. As for M1 and the signal, they are desirable for high DPS, but do not critically change the gameplay - if you want to save the spins for the future, you can look for F2P alternatives and stop at M0.
Jane Doe
Jane Doe (Anomaly, Physical) — an agent with high damage numbers and simple gameplay that is well suited for both beginners and advanced players. Fills the physical attribute scale well and activates the Onslaught effect with a critical hit. Easily adapts to any conditions on the battlefield, can quickly dodge a series of enemy attacks with subsequent counterattacks.
An independent heroine can become the core of Chaos squads, complement mono-physical teams or enter a classic composition with two agents. A serious drawback may be the lack of suitable buffs for Jane in endgame modes - packs with a rat are currently sagging against the background of builds with more relevant damage dealers.
Hugo
Hugo Vlad (Assault, Ice) — a difficult to master damage dealer that requires careful play on the field or strict adherence to team rotation. He is best shown in teams with two Intimidation agents, who can quickly stun the enemy and activate a powerful ATK buff. The peculiarity of the vampire is that he removes the stun window from the enemy to deal damage proportional to the remaining timer of the incapacitation state.
In battle on the field, he is very vulnerable due to the long animation of attacks that have no resistance to incoming damage. The young man's sign has a buff to ignore the target's defense, so it is extremely important for developing high DPS. If you knock out cons, then you should invest in M2 right away so as not to remove the stun window with the ultimate and provide more space for action during rare exits to the field.
Lightyear
Lighter (Intimidation, Fire) — one of the best s for fire and ice agents. Increases the damage bonus of the specified attributes, while simultaneously reducing resistances on targets. Due to the large number of strong damage dealers of the elements in question, it is an excellent investment in the long term. Extremely effective on M0 and without a signal, if you want to further increase the damage of an existing pack, it is advisable to invest in a mental picture.
Thanks to the explosive rotation, he quickly accumulates stun and is flexible in of time distribution on the field: he can actively fight until the stun window or go out to apply buffs. Despite the narrow focus of the buffs, Lighter is able to realize himself as an alternative stun agent in almost any squad.
Who to spin in ZZZ 1.7
Having considered the features, as well as the strengths and weaknesses, we can draw a general conclusion.
Vivian (Anomaly, Ether) |
For fans buffer Astra, forming a powerful foundation to the Abnormal DD. |
Jane Doe (Anomaly, Physical) |
The Rat is suitable for newbies and old players who need an independent damage dealer with excellent DPS indicators and low requirements. She is unpretentious in choosing allies and forgives mistakes in the rotation. Later, when pumping up the , you can strengthen the heroine with buffers and pocket applicators of the Anomaly class. |
Hugo (Assault, Ice) |
Extremely dependent on squad composition: he needs two Intimidations, as a priority Lightyear и Von Lycaon. The young man is aimed at confronting lone bosses and requires strict rotation, to a lesser extent he will show himself as a DD on the field. Hugo's damage will be assessed after the release, since changes to the hero's skills are still being introduced. |
Lighter (Intimidation, Fire) |
Capable of covering the need for a stunner and buffer on its own, providing a powerful boost for a certain circle of DD: in the presence of fire and ice damage dealers, it is definitely worth knocking out this agent to increase their DPS. Shows itself well not only in combination with Attack characters, but also Anomalies with the corresponding attribute. |
We hope that the overview of characters from patch 1.7 helped you decide who is worth picking up in the spring update. If you liked any of the agents because of their character or history, then they should definitely be the first to be picked up.
