Make your way to Richard Teamilk, and you will notice a flowerbed just out front. Approach this, and if it is currently sparkling, you can interact with it to receive an HIA Commemorative Coin. It will only be available in the morni

**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.

You will then be moved to a new map. From where you spawn, go right and then up, and you will have to initiate combat. Deal with the foes and, when you return to the HDD, go left to heal if needed . Then move right until you hit a red button and unlock a tra

Susie will tell you that her boss lost valuable cargo in a Hollow and she needs you to find it. When Anby shows up, Susie will also give you the Demara Battery Mark II after speaking with her, which you can equip to Anby right away , although you can always switch it out once the cutscene is d

The computers in the Scott Outpost Interior host Hollow Zero mode, inside a tent near the entrance to the location. This mode is separated into zones with multiple stages of various difficulties that you can explore. Every area you investigate is either filled with enemies to defeat in combat or puzzles involving monitor screens that you'll have to solve to move forward to unlock other zo

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.

Following only a bit over a year since the turn-based RPG Honkai: Star Rail , zenless Zone zero characters effect Zone Zero might seem like Genshin Impact , but it's actually much more similar to a somewhat less popular HoYoverse game: Honkai Impact 3rd . Like HI3 , ZZZ puts a particular focus on action and combat, with both games taking a lot of their DNA from character action series like Devil May Cry and Bayonetta . While I think Zenless Zone Zero might be able to match up with the best examples of the genre in some respects, though, its combat can't quite reach the same heights.

Like its counterparts, Zenless Zone Zero has weekly bosses that can be fought up to three times for the highest-tier upgrade materials. In this case, it is for the S-rank version of the materials needed to upgrade character skills for the last few levels. These fights will reset every Monday and do not reduce Stamina . However, the fight will have a timer and how long the fight takes will determine the rating. The lower the rating, the fewer rewards players rece

The Battery in the game caps at 240 and it regenerates throughout the day, but make sure you’re not letting it max out as it cannot go past 240, making you waste precious resources that would benefit you later

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

Like a lot of other mobile action games, ZZZ has only three basic offensive inputs: an attack chain, a skill, and an ultimate. In the worst case, this can make the game's combat feel overly simplistic and dull. When my ultimate isn't available, and I don't have enough meter to use an enhanced skill, I'm simply mashing away on the basic attack chain, waiting for my meter to fill up or for an enemy to present a change to dodge or counter - not helped by the fact that ZZZ 's basic enemy types attack very little, and are easily stunlocked.

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.
