Zenless Zone Zero Agents

New Agents

You will meet two new agents in the 2025 update. Their names are Yixuan and Ju Fufu. Both bring something special to your team.

1. Yixuan is a top DPS agent. She uses the Auric Ink element. She deals Sheer damage that ignores enemy defense. Her attacks get stronger with more Max HP. So, give her lots of health. Yixuan has a resource called Adrenaline. She can use two different Ultimate attacks. You need to time her moves well. Swapping squad members helps her play better. She can also move HP around your squad. She makes your team invincible for a short time.

2. Ju Fufu is an S-Rank Fire support agent. She is great at Stun. She works best off the field. Her tiger, Hu Wei, fights while she gives buffs. Ju Fufu uses Might and Momentum. When she gets enough Might, she can use a strong Chain Attack. This gives your team a big Crit DMG boost and other buffs. Her playstyle is about managing resources. Swapping at the right time helps you get more buffs and crowd control.

Tip: Try using Yixuan and Ju Fufu together. Yixuan does lots of damage. Ju Fufu gives strong buffs. They help you beat hard stages faster.

Factions

The 2025 update adds new factions. These change how you build your teams. Now you have the Obol Squad from the Defense Force. There is also a new idol group called Angels of Delusion. Both come from the Waifei Peninsula. This adds more story and variety to the game.

• If you use agents from the same faction or with matching attributes, you get extra abilities. These can boost attack, defense, or HP. Your squad becomes stronger.

• The update wants you to use more teamwork. Synergy is now important. Some enemies need special roles or elements. Mixing agents from different factions helps you win.

Here is a quick look at the new factions:

Abilities

Every agent has unique abilities based on their role and element. The new agents bring new ways to play.

• Yixuan uses Adrenaline and Technique points for her attacks. She can counter enemy moves. She can become invincible. She deals big Sheer damage. Her skills let you block and counter with good timing. When your team uses Ultimates, Yixuan gets more Adrenaline. This lets her use even stronger moves.

• Ju Fufu is about crowd control and team buffs. She can heal and boost Crit DMG. She increases Chain Attack and Ultimate damage for everyone. Her Chain Attack, Tiger’s Roar, gives your team a big power boost for 30 seconds. You need to manage her Might and Momentum to use her best skills.

Agents have different roles like Attack, Support, Stun, Defense, and Anomaly. Each role changes how you fight.

• Stun units like Ju Fufu fill the enemy’s stun gauge fast. This lets you chain attacks and control the fight.

• Defense units protect your team with shields or taunts.

• Anomaly units add elemental effects. These debuff enemies and boost your damage.

Note: The order you use your agents matters. Start with a Stun unit for big damage later. Support agents keep your team healthy and strong.

With these new agents and factions, the game rewards balanced teams and smart tactics. Try new combos and strategies to beat the hardest challenges.

Combat System

Mechanics

You will see big changes in fighting. The 2025 update makes you use your whole squad. You cannot just use one agent for damage. Now, you must work together and use squad synergy. You need to hit weak spots and watch the Miasma contamination bar. This bar fills up in battle. It can hurt your team’s health and where they stand. If you do not pay attention, your team can lose fast.

Here are some new things you will use in combat:

• Each agent now has two Ultimate moves. This gives you more choices in hard fights.

• Agents not on the field can still help with buffs and effects.

• Chain Attacks use a Daze meter. When it is full, you can stun enemies and do combos.

• Watch out for dangers in the environment. These can change how you move and fight.

• You can hit enemy weak points for Piercing Damage. This rewards good aim and timing.

Tip: Swap agents often. If you swap at the right time, you can use Assist skills. These let you block or dodge attacks. This keeps your team safe and gives you new ways to attack.

The new combat system rewards planning ahead. You must manage your team, use the map, and time your moves. Fights are now more fun and need more thinking.

Teamwork

Teamwork is now very important in battles. You cannot win by using just one agent. You must use each agent’s best skills and work together.

You can swap agents at any time. If you switch at the right moment, you use Assist skills. Defensive Assists let you block attacks. Evasive Assists help you dodge and slow time. This gives you a chance to hit back. Chain Attacks happen after you stun enemies. You pass the attack between agents for more damage.

The update lets you make more flexible teams. Ellen’s Teamwork Ability now works with Stun Agents too. You can use Manual Chain Attack mode to control combos. You can set up party templates before fights. This makes planning easier.

Note: In new modes like Godfinger Ultimate Showdown and Shared Dream Mode, you must work with your team. You need to time your moves and talk to your team. This is more important than ever.

Enemies

Enemies now fight in new ways. The update changes how you must battle them.

• Squad synergy is more important. Agents not fighting can still help with effects. You must plan your team well.

• Hazards like Miasma make you move and place your team carefully.

• Each agent now has two Ultimate meters. You can use stronger moves.

• Chain Attacks use the Daze meter. Good timing and aim help you win.

• You can hit weak points for Piercing Damage. This makes fights smarter.

• TV Mode is gone. Now you explore 3D maps. This makes fighting and moving smoother.

• Enemy groups in Expert Challenge are better set up. You get a better fight.

• Ellen Joe’s kit is changed. You have new ways to use her in battle.

You will also see better agent training and gear. The Hollow Investigative Association has new VR gear. This helps agents train and stay safe. You can use Combat Simulation, Routine Cleanup, and Expert Challenge to get upgrade materials. You will find new rewards like Dennies, Drive Discs, Master Copies, and W-Engine Chips.

Tip: Use training missions to make your agents stronger. Better gear and skills help you win tough fights and beat strong enemies.

Zenless Zone Zero now gives you more ways to fight and train. You must use teamwork, plan well, and think fast to master the new combat system.
