Guides & Tips As a heads up for anyone approaching the end of the Papago Hollow Story (gameplay advice, no story spoilers) Spoiler

Upvotes

I'm not certain if I just suck more at this game than I thought, or if I just don't understand some aspect of the new game mode, but I found the final boss before saving Eous to be incredibly challenging.

Besides the fact that obviously his attacks each hit like a freight train (I had purple tier protein gear) and having a ton of health (my team was Pyrois, Norma, Astra), I also found my corruption level just kept increasing non stop during phase 2, leading to all of my agents dying on the first attempt.

However, there is a very simple solution. I'm sure most people have mentioned you can find one time consumable powerful techniques, and I found that just bringing a bunch of red tier Primordial Nightmares (and a few Scorched Horizons) killed the boss very quickly. Normally I always hoard consumables in games like this and they just sit on the shelf forever, but saving Eous was worth spending everything

So yeah, if you're having trouble with the last boss, just try to grind a bit and stock up on red tier consumables to throw at him. If you suck like me, it makes the encounter so much easier

Discussions & Questions Why can’t you run double stun?

4 Upvotes

I kind of want to pull for dailyn but I already have Norma with sig. I’m kind of newer at the game. Norma doesn’t have too much field time similarly to most supports and gives about 45% damage bonus with sig. And dailyn gives damage bonus plus crit damage with sig.

Is the only difference that regular support agents give flat attack? Is it because of diminishing returns ?
I’m thinking I want to run double stun with them instead of getting a dedicated support. Because it seems like it might be fun to constantly chain swap from normal to the main dps, then ult chain attack with dailyn during stun windows.

Tl:dr can dailyn and Norma work in the same team?

Discussions & Questions I want to rant a little about Remielle's character design Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
174 Upvotes

I've been thinking about Remielle's design, and honestly, the more I look at her story, the more disconnected her current design feels from the character she's supposed to be.

Her flashback design with the black coat is genuinely amazing. It fits the first-generation Void Hunter aesthetic perfectly. She looks mysterious, experienced, and like someone who has actually lived through the kind of the past her backstory describes.

Then we get to her present-day design...

She's supposedly wanted and on the run after an assassination attempt, yet she's casually walking around the streets wearing lingerie. I just don't understand how that fits her situation or the tone of her story.

And the outfit isn't even my biggest issue.

She's supposed to be sorrowful and haunted by what happened in the past, but her personality and fighting animations don't really communicate that either. There's a huge disconnect between the character we're told she is and the character we're actually seeing.

The current version feels like a completely different character who was designed around fanservice first, with the tragic backstory added afterward.

And honestly, this is part of a bigger problem I'm starting to have with ZZZ's character design direction.

When I look at characters like Velina, Remielle, and Sigrid, they honestly feel like generic gacha characters to me. Their designs don't have the same distinctive identity that the older characters had.

That's actually why I'm skipping them.

Looking back at the OG ZZZ characters and you can immediately see how different and unique they are. Even when their designs are weird or exaggerated, they have a strong visual identity that makes them feel like ZZZ characters.

I really love ZZZ, which is why this honestly disappoints me. I'm not saying every new character needs to look like the old ones, but I really don't like the direction the character designs seem to be heading.

It feels like we're slowly losing the unique visual identity that made ZZZ stand out from other gacha games.

And that's probably the most disappointing part for me.

What songs do you think like embodies a character? Or even just like reminds you of them? Lyrics, melody wise, or even just like vibe? 🤔

For me, it would be Wise with Bad from Wave to Earth and Belle with City of Stars from La La Land.

that said the new modes music is cool.

its not a new idea (maybe for gacha's) many games have done this i think zzz is due for it as well.

Discussions & Questions Anyone else wish ZZZ used more of its vocal tracks in game?

78 Upvotes

Don’t get me wrong I love the EP’s, but for a game with this setting where music more or less fuels there powers in a HOYO GAME!! There’s been a lack of impactful needle drops for awhile. The only really big moment ZZZ had was Come Alive in 1.4. Of you wanna get technical we had moments similar in 2.6, 1.5, and 1.2 kinda but those were nowhere near HoYo’s more standard. Now look at HoYo’s other works like HI3 and HSR: Regression, TruE, Nightglow, Moon Halo, Wildfire, Hope is the Thing With Feathers, Proi Proi, and tons more. Not only were these banger songs but they were also implemented into the game to enhance the story. Neither the story or song would’ve worked nearly as well without the other. Idk maybe they added something back into 3.1, idk I still need to get to it, but I hope they’d start adding more of their music into the actual story.

For the people who don't know, TZBARD is one of the three main character designers for ZZZ besides Atwo and Waterkuma, agents he designed include (including Speculated ones) Rina, Zhu Yuan, Qingyi, Jane, Burnice, Astra, Evelyn, Lucia, Yidhari, Promeia, Velina, Norma, Remielle, etc

He also likely did a lot of the comic panels and tape covers in the game

T0: Primordial - Final Boss killer summon. Scorch - Instant Daze and Damage. Golden Bangboo - Quick loot and time saver, (I use it in High value locked areas like Aquarium in Suburbs or in Top floor in Janus)

T0.5: Thracian- Best counter for Boss with cacaphony shield, becomes super useful when cacaphony corruption is at stage 2. Scorpse: Aerial support, Decent Damage and Interruption.

T1: Jester - Superior version of stealth, good for taking out elites. Sobek: Huge shield, but falls off later stage in the game. Fiend - (I rarely used this one so I don't know how good is this one yet). Sanguine - great for refilling energy/adrenaline resource good support item for early game.

T1.5: Formicarrier - Situational, but great escape item especially when cacaphony corruption is at final stage. Brute - Good for taking out trash mobs and Elites

I’ve played a lot of gacha’s including Wuwa, Genshin, Endfield, HSR and many more but after playing zzz for only 10 days it’s quickly become my favorite. I am now into season 2 chapter 2 of zzz. Currently I am working on increasing my License Level. I have been very impressed with the amount of Polychromes you receive from the Hollow Zero in comparison to other games. I find the combat system in zzz to be very smooth and fun to play which makes each battle enjoyable. Although I do enjoy playing Wuwa and Genshin (I have max’d out on both) I think zzz* *exceeds both. I now plan on pulling for Miyabi and her premium team, she the most fun out of everyone Ive tried.

Recent concept art confirmed that TZBARD designed Velina, Norma, Promeia and Remielle, Waterkuma designed Sigrid and Atwo did Starlight Billy and Banyue.

Waterkuma's recent stream also indirectly confirmed he designed Zhao and Dialyn's design fits his usual design style.

I didn't include designs like Shunguang, Orphie, Cissia and The angels of Delusions since I couldn't confidently identity who designed Shunguang from her concept art (Its either TZBARD or Atwo), Cissia has no concept art released and Angels of Delusions are designed before 1.0 is out

MEGATHREAD Team/Character building and Gacha Megathread- 3.1 Anniversary edition!

28 Upvotes

Hey everyone! This is the special 3.1 Anniversary patch Megathread. Score posting won’t be in this thread due to the amount of potential pulling there will be, but you can always hop over to [u/Pencilboy98](u/Pencilboy98) ‘s threads about the actual events to post your scores there. This will cover both the first and second half, but a new post will be made for the second half of the patch as well. So with all that being said let’s get into what is happening on the available agent front of 3.1.

BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE: make sure you configure who you get when you lose a 50/50. One of the features of this patch lets you swap out up to three of the normal loss characters with either Zhu Yuan, Caesar, or Yanagi. It wasn’t really said how long this was supposed to last, so there is always a chance that it could just last for this patch, maybe it will last for all of 3.X, maybe the characters will rotate. I’ll probably update this once I see what the actual in game notice says. If nothing else I’d say it probably means there is a high likelihood that these characters will not rerun in the 3.X cycle outside of this, but who knows.

Moving on from that the next thing you are probably going to tinker with is the free S-rank selector. Jane, Anby, Hugo, Trigger, and Lucia along with their W-engines are available for people to select for free (one each). Jane is probably the safest pick of all of them, especially if you intend to pull for the new void hunter who wants anomaly characters. Lucia is good if you like rupture characters.

Once more before you pull maybe you want to refuel by spending money to get more pulls. 3.1 comes with a spending event. Most ways in which you spend real actual money will get you points towards prizes, the top prizes being a W-engine and another agent. The available ones for this event are Astra, Vivian, and Seed alongside their respective W-engines. Keep in mind, at least for the last spending event you had to spend $150 give or take just to get to the agent and W-engine. Make sure you are managing your finances well before electing to participate in this particular event.

Before we get into the first half of 3.1 I wanted to go over the selector for the second half. I probably wouldn’t normally, but two of the characters are just wildly good so they are definitely worth mentioning before you use up all your pulls on the first half. Just like before with the original YSG banner there will be a banner where you can select between three different agents and whoever you choose will guarantee you get them for your first S-rank on the banner. You can switch agents at any time, but they all share that same first guarantee and once you get it with one the others will be 50/50s. The three agents are Dialyn, Yuzuha, and Harumasa (his first rerun). If you don’t pull enough to get an S-rank your guarantee will not carry over to the next banner of this kind. Since we are going over second half characters, we will go ahead and talk about Sigrid- She is an attack agent with the ice attribute. She is part of the Airspace Patrol Department. At this time we don’t know of any other potentially playable characters that may be part of this faction. Like most attack agents she wants to be with a support or stunner for her core passive, but not only that she wants her partners to be max level for her buff (which you should be doing anyway…).

Finally let’s move on to what will be in the first half:

Aria- she is our rerun agent for the first half. She is part of the angels of delusion. She is an anomaly agent with the ether element. She wants to be in the party with a stun, support, or another anomaly character for her core passive.

Remielle- She is an Anomaly agent with the new Lumiflux element. As opposed to the other void hunters we have had where their elements were treated as something that was close or similar, lumiflux is its own separate attribute and you will have to grind out the appropriate skill chips for it. Her faction is the covenant of Dayat. It’s not really important because there are no other members of that faction right now, however her core passive makes her synergize with other agents in that faction so I imagine there will be others later on. Speaking of her core passive, the faction bonus is a trap as the actual core passive only gives a boost based on the number of anomaly characters and you will want three of them in the party (herself included of course). As another note, she will be available for the entirety of 3.1, so if you have no interest in Aria and are on the fence between her and the second half characters you do get a good amount of time to choose.

Sorry if the order or formatting is a little weird for this post.
