AVOID THESE Early Game MISTAKES in Zenless Zone Zero!! 

So anyway I used Corin and Ben because I like them.

Howl's scratch off also has a chance to give you Polychrome's, not just Dennies so yes make sure you stop by the news stand every morning.

Don't forget to explore the maps. And get all the chest. Also the team that you start out with is actually a pretty good team. Added note. The A rank also have signature A rank engines, but they're obtained through the gacha pulls.

Ppl complaining about difficulty havent been introduced to hard mode yet.

Jokes on you, I’ve only been using cunning hares

One tip no one ever covers is to not sleep on the bamboo general store. I don't know which tab it was but one of them had character upgrade materials and stuff like that. That's valuable energy you could reserve. Granted it there was only like four ice skill things in there but that was pretty much 50 or 60 energy worth of material

The way i thought wise was caelus for a sec😭

Counterpoint: I only want the wolf so I'm turning all of my premium currency into standard pulls for the 300 mercy.

0:40 “free buff” *spends money*

About discs, i actually recommend you to get at least full gear for your main 3 (not full sets, just full 6 pieces of gear) because even a full 6 pieces of blue gear is better than running around with no discs at all.

Thanks man. I dont know anything about this game so these guides help

I might need this vid, thx Kekv

Actually for example ellen joes best f2p option is a B rank engine unless you have the S5 A rank engines and even then it's only like 5% behind so it's definitely worth it building B rank engines depending on which one it is and on whoever

On the scratch card, if you’re lucky, you can get 60 polychromes!

Thank you ! I didn't know about the smiley face thing

I've been running Piper, Ben, Lucy because I like all of them. Piper is functioning as primary DPS (even tho she's labeled as Anomaly, she can deal a LOT of dmg), Ben is great for facetanking large or annoying enemies, and Lucy is just there to drop a nuke and leave every time I swap to her. I'm also level 26 right now and I haven't really had much trouble with my un-optimized team. It's important to note that there is *technically* synergy between every single character in the game, because of how Disorder works. I can have 2 Fire, 1 Physical on my party and swapping between them at the right cadence will proc Disorder in addition to Burn and Assault. I'm assuming it'll be a good idea at some point to run a more optimized team comp, but idk I'm just having fun right now.

Thanks for your video, only from you I was able to understand something about ZZZ!

its funny that the currency is called by my actual name i get confused sometimes by that

Doing sidequests though is an extremely good way to get polychrome so that you can get both stronger engines and characters

You can change the skill keybind to one of your mouse side buttons (if you have any) to do Nicole's moves on PC, you can do the WASD rotation while skilling with 2 hands so it's not awkward

Counter going on that last one- everything dies too easily without challenge mode. Piper spins and just one taps them

I got Nekomata and her signature s rank w-engine alongside Rina on one of my accounts

Btw if you level up any engine or whatever, you do get back a portion of the materials used when recycling them

Btw the factions and elements do play big roles as you stated, factions increase your dodge, counter and such but elements increase their own element so like 2 ice types (Ellen and Aku) Ellen is an ice dps and so she has increase ice dam and crit and Aku is an ice supp she increase ice dam and decreases ice resistance (I know this cuz I have both of them) and now I do wonder what happens if you have a team that has both element and factions but there isn't any teams you can make as of right now that can do that

Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t the residual signal weapon engines only for the standard banner/free characters. Especially if you want Ellen or Ellen’s w-engine (or any limited character/limited w-engine), wouldn’t it make more sense to get the tapes

The only thing I'd recommend challenge mode for is for the free polychrome you get after completing one commission like that for the first time.

Damn I’m already lvl 30 thank god I learnt my mistakes from other gachas

You can get limited currency from the dog at the newstand I got 20 today

personally i never had a shortage of resources to upgrade my characters, engines, and bangboos the only time i didnt have a resource was when i didnt progress far enough in the story to get them

Now I gotta ask something I don't see covered anywhere. Should you recycle all of your B rank engines(Or at least most that are duplicates)?

I got lycan in ellen joe banner lol

One question, do challenge mode give more resources?

koldeeyah is a wild pronounciation XD

I got really lucky on my gacha pulls because the 5 star i got was lycaon. My current team is lycaon corin and soukaku, but I’ll replace corin with Ellen when i get her

I play on Challenge mode because I'm trying to actually practice my combos for when the game does eventually get hard. The enemies still only take a few seconds to kill with bosses taking maybe a minute or two tops. The more health they have the more I can practicing chain comboing and getting the character rotations I want.

I just hope the challenge mode will make enemy more aggressive than more hp. I do like the gameplay but not in the long term

I did the exact opposite with my resource management. I like being able to switch out people and I think you do get enough resourese to do so because I've yet had to sit and grind for one specific resource.

Watching this this at 32 :(

Howl does have a chance to give premium currency.

Just want to add, howl can provide some polychrome as well. priority is coffee and scratch tickets

Damn i did a mistake lvl up the Disc rank B and A 🗿

It’s funny how shoukaku is a support but does insane dmg

General Chop buff is only free during event isn't it?

I thought I made a mistake pulling for shark maid (I forgot her name) because of power creep but I got her at 12 pity so I am not complaining

I rarely pay attention to the elements they recommend. I would imagine it matters more if I want to get S score on challenge mode.

I’m putting Corin on the ice team because it’s illegal for people of different factions to work together. I only use the free team right now until I have a high enough level.

I guess team synergy doesn't matter to me and just put the furry butler on the team then 2 maids

Dog gave me poly chrome today

does challenge mode even give you extra rewards like is there any incentive at all to do it?

My team has been Koleda, Anby, and Lucy since I started. I don't like how Anton feels when playing so I just used Anby, but my team feels frush and fun. Lucy is just fun having on any team. Also, I know a lot of people suggest putting Ben on a Koleda team, but he feels way to clunky

Note: Always do the scratch off at the news stand every day! I got 40 pull currency 2 days in a row from the scratch off! Worth the dennies and well worth the chance of some luck at free pull currency.

I probably won't agree with "follow the main story". It wants you to reach higher levels and side quests help a lot with this. Other than dailies and energy you can't really get a lot of xp for the next lvl. So go ahead and do them if you want! 🖤

the noodles aren't required if you're not having trouble with a stage, save some Dennies

Can you do one on Bangboos pls?

Do also side quest when you can talk to other people even if they dont have quest above. And also dont skip the conversation cause that will be hint what they need.

Not me pulling desperately on stable search to get Lycaon because I KEEP PULLING SOUKAKU and she's currently the only Section 6 character in the game and thus requires another ice agent in order to get her ability... and both other ice agents are S-ranks >

This is my favorite game out of the three. Simple n fun

I'm commenting just to let you know, yes the challenge mode doesn't feel challenging but might as well go for the most of it since we might stop playing at one point.

my team is comprised of three attackers; nekomata, corin, and grace i have easily cleared almost everything that i've unlocked

Kekvin, I am at Level 21 with a full level 20 team of Lycaon, Anby and Soukaka. I am trying to get Ellen too. Is that good?

What if I don't have an attack type that's not Billy? Lmao. I've been using Koleda, Ben, and Nicole cause I don't have multiple characters of the same element or faction other than the starting cast.

Does anyone know how to unlock howls card for your profile?

You're loco if you think there's no reason to spend poli standard banner pulls. You choose a 5 star after 200 pulls on the standard banner and the characters are really solid. If you already get Ellen and you really want Lycaon, You should definitely drop currency on default banner.

Pro Tip, Pull Ellen:)

Howl can give you summon currency

Main story: Yeah but again you can't follow the story without coins without character levels without resources so Free2play will be forced anyway to do them. Plus even if you somehow manage to beat the story you won't do 3 stars so your logic is ehhh i mean I don't play in losing double the time redoing every story mission again just to 3star them that's just wasting time. And while you're at the dog NPC get the new newsletter you have daily quests those are a must do.

challenge mode isn't even a challenge, I want an even harder mode

Don't need to max out the faction thing. Grace Rina Piper only have 2 synergies, but the disorder from Piper bodies.

Counterpoint for challenge mode. Combat is the most fun things this game has to offer. Longer battles = more fun for me = worth the time sink

Where is that screen at 6:00 ?

i also want koleda pwp i gto lycoan and rina and ig theyre cool, they do neat damage but koleda is just so much cooler qwq

Idc about the encrypted pulls. So idrc about it and will continue to pull in standard banner

tfw toy want to keep every single a rank w engine you get cause most of the a ranks are all the exclusives for the a rank characters you can level up everyone how you see fit but the unlocking there levels needs the tokens and those you horde

Does challenge mode even give any extra rewards?

Hi i am completely unlucky. (Referring to the w-engine part). Got 6 def w-engine :)

"do NOT spend currency on standard pulls" meanwhile i'm at 201 pulls in the standard banner hoping to get Koleda

I see, so I am going to need to at the moment prioritize either my Grace, or Ellen. I have been using Grace, but I got Ellen recently, and considering what the video says, I would need to prioritize my Grace team for now, as I have the appropriate characters that all have those smiley faces, however that one was a mono electric team, so it wouldn't be too versatile. It has Grace, Anby, and Anton. I don't know exactly how good the team is, but it has been able to handle what I have faced so far. My level is either 23 or 24 according to memory. I have also been prioritising using my charge on stuff like promoting characters, or levelling the characters skills.

fun fact! there’s a chance of getting 20 polychromes from howl’s scratch cards so you seriously do wanna do it everyday!

Ran through the whole game on challenge mode 💀

Yo we the same i got the same level and team everything is the same POWER TO THE FIRE GREMLIN😂

It's crazy because i heard that you should do as many as side quests during the story because those side quests would het locked off forever and lose awards.

1:40 you don't have to spread em out at all. I played the enter game (im lvl40 now) without specing anyone other than my main 3, and I was still only getting S ranks

I always forgot howl's shop! Thanks for reminding me 😭

Lucy is my DPS 😂

Does challenge mode not give you something special?

Challenge mode is normal mode so unless you want enemies to die in half a combo you want to enable it.

What can i say? I am using the same squad from the start, at level 20 doing mission at 39 is easy, S every time... Ellen is broken... even against those who were resistant to the ice XD

dude, you telling us to saving the standart w-engine 5⭐? this is like telling people to saving for standard LC in Honkai: Star Rail instead you can go exchange all of that to golden ticket to pull limited. bruh??? seriously??? I strongly not recommend anyone to do that. if this game work exactly like genshin & Honkai: Star Rail which I believe yes it is.... you can get those standart w~engine on Standart banner, or when you lose 75/25 on engine banner

I got shark maid on 2 pulls i didnt even know what i got...i was just randomly doing 2 pulls from my (primogems?) Or whatever dunno 😅😅

I know exactly what you are

Guess anby dps is gonna be just a legend😞

so anyways i did all the side quests available before continuing the story

How is that a mistake?? Earlier game are like that.. even if u lvl 20 or 30.. can't find rank - S if not lvl 40 and above

7:41 cant you just dismantle them and get all the stuffs you spend back?

kev zzz video lets goo

The way you pronounce everything and every mistake is funny especially the balls and unlucky!!!!!!!!!!!

is choosing wise as main character considered as a mistake?

Þhey should have challenge mode with extra benefits than the story just to have people do challenge mode lol

my hole map is black so i cant do anything T-T

having a meta on a just-released game is crazy, people are actually making a tier list???? TBH I just use whoever I like and put them in a team that works. So, I went Anton - Billy - Anby. Got full team bonus for every character and I can also use my fave's.
