Core Combat Stats

If you know about Combat Stats, you can win more fights. Each stat changes how your agent attacks and stays alive. This helps you make stronger teams and beat hard enemies.

Attack (ATK)

Attack (ATK) shows how much damage your agent does. You can make ATK higher by leveling up or upgrading skills.

Support agents start with less ATK than DPS agents.
Every Basic Attack level gives a damage boost. For example, a support with 800 base ATK gets 64-96 more damage each level. DPS agents with 1,200 base ATK get 96-144 more damage per level.
Special and Ultimate skills use ATK to give bigger damage and more energy.

Tip: Upgrade ATK for your main damage dealer. This helps you beat enemies faster.

Impact

Impact helps you fill the Daze bar on enemies faster. Daze makes enemies weak and lets you use chain attacks.

Hitting with high Impact fills the Daze bar quickly.
Some bosses change when Dazed, like losing armor or acting wild.
The Impaired effect from Impact lowers enemy defense and makes them easier to beat.

Note: Use agents with high Impact to control fights and use strong team combos.

Defense & HP

Defense lowers the damage your agent takes. HP is how much health your agent has.

High Defense helps you live longer against tough enemies.
HP shows how much damage you can take before you lose.
You can make Defense and HP better with gear and upgrades.

Tip: Pick agents with good Defense and HP. This keeps your team safe in hard battles.

Crit Rate & Crit Damage

Crit Rate tells how often you get critical hits. Crit Damage makes those hits stronger.

Critical hits do more damage, especially during stun and chain attacks.
Making Crit Rate and Crit Damage higher helps you win fights faster.

Combat Stat	Effect on Gameplay Outcomes
Crit Rate & Crit DMG	Decides how often and how strong critical hits are, especially during stun and chain attacks.

Try to make Crit Rate and Crit Damage higher for agents who attack a lot. This makes your team stronger.

PEN (Penetration)

PEN lets your attacks go through some of the enemy’s Defense.

PEN Ratio ignores part of the enemy’s Defense.
PEN works best on enemies with high Defense, like bosses.
More PEN helps you do more damage in late-game fights.

Feature	Description
PEN Ratio	Lets players ignore some of the target's DEF when attacking.
Effectiveness	Works best against enemies with high defense, like bosses.

Use PEN to break strong defenses and beat tough enemies.

Anomaly Proficiency & Mastery

Anomaly Proficiency and Mastery help you use status effects in fights.

Anomaly Proficiency makes Attribute Anomalies do 1% more damage for each point.
Anomaly Mastery makes Attribute Anomalies happen 1% more often for each point.
More Mastery means you use status effects more, making fights easier.

Combat Stat	Effect on Gameplay Outcomes
Anomaly Proficiency	Makes Attribute Anomaly damage higher, good for Anomaly agents.
Anomaly Mastery	Makes Anomaly triggers happen more often, helping in fights.

Build Anomaly stats for agents who use status effects. This helps you control enemies and do more damage.

Energy & Energy Regen

Energy lets you use EX Special Skills. You get Energy by attacking and using skills.

Energy Regen shows how fast you fill your Energy bar.
More Energy means you can use strong skills more often.
Managing Energy helps your team stay strong and use skills well.

Combat Stat	Effect on Gameplay Outcomes
Energy	Powers EX Special Skills, gained by normal actions, helps with skill timing.

Watch your Energy bar and plan your moves. This keeps your team ready for big attacks.

Decibels

Decibels are used to launch Ultimate skills.

You get Decibels by hitting enemies or using skills.
Decibels are shared with your squad, so teamwork is important.
When you reach Maximum Decibels, you can use your Ultimate to do big damage and stop enemies.

Aspect	Description
Generation	Decibels come from hitting enemies or using skills.
Impact on Squad	When one character gets Decibels, the squad gets some too.
Decibel Ratings	Getting more Decibels raises ratings: Uproar, Blasting, and Maximum.
Ultimate Activation	At Maximum, Decibels can be used for an Ultimate, which is strong and stops enemies.
Individual Accumulation	Decibels are counted for each agent, so you can plan when to use Ultimates.

Tip: Use Decibels at the right time. Save your Ultimate for when you need to change the battle.

Damage Calculation Table

Combat Stats work together in these damage formulas:

Damage Type	Formula
Standard DMG	DMG_{Standard} = Base DMG_{Attacker} × DMG Bonus Multiplier_{Attacker} × CRIT Multiplier_{Attacker} × DEF Multiplier_{Target} × RES Multiplier_{Target} × DMG Taken Multiplier_{Target} × Stunned Multiplier_{Target}
Attribute Anomaly DMG	DMG_{Attribute Anomaly} = Anomaly Base DMG_{Attacker} × Anomaly Proficiency Multiplier_{Attacker} × Anomaly Level Multiplier_{Attacker} × DMG Bonus Multiplier_{Attacker} × DEF Multiplier_{Target} × RES Multiplier_{Target} × DMG Taken Multiplier_{Target} × Stunned Multiplier_{Target}

Remember: Every Combat Stat changes how fights end. Learn how they work to make the best team for your style.

Stat Effects in Combat

Damage Output

You can do more damage by picking the right stats. PEN and PEN Ratio help you get past enemy defenses. These are very useful when fighting strong bosses. CRIT Rate gives you a better chance to hit critical hits. Anomaly Proficiency makes your Attribute Anomalies do more damage. The table below shows which stats help most with damage:

Combat Stat	Description
PEN (Defense Penetration)	Makes enemy Defense weaker, so you do more damage to tough enemies.
PEN Ratio	This stat works with enemy Defense and helps you hurt strong foes more.
Anomaly Proficiency	Makes Attribute Anomaly damage higher when you trigger it.
CRIT Rate	Gives you a better chance to do extra damage with your hits.

Tip: Make these stats higher on your main attackers. This helps you finish stages faster.

Survivability

You can live longer by raising Defense and HP. Defense lowers the damage you take from enemies. HP lets you take more hits before you lose. Agents with high Defense and HP can keep your team safe. They also help you last longer in boss fights. You should balance attack and defense to beat different challenges.

Status Effects & Anomalies

Status effects and anomalies change how battles go. Physical damage builds up the Physical Attribute Anomaly. This can cause Assault, which stops enemies and does big damage. Flinch makes the Daze bar fill faster, so you can stun enemies easier. Fire damage can cause Burn, which hurts enemies over time. Anomaly Proficiency and Mastery make these effects stronger and happen more often. You can use these effects to control enemies and make strong combos.

Resource Management

Managing your resources helps you move forward in the game. You should:

Use your currency, stamina, and materials carefully so you do not waste them.
Do daily and weekly missions to get rewards often.
Log in, finish challenges, and join events to earn more.
Save premium currency for big upgrades or rare agents. Platforms like ManaBuy offer great deals if you need to stock up on Monochromes efficiently.
Use Combat Simulations to get resources faster.
Change enemy numbers in simulations to fit what you need.
Collect materials every day for both Agents and Bangboos.

Good resource management lets you upgrade your Combat Stats. This helps you make your team stronger.

Combat Mechanics Overview

Stun & Daze

You can control fights by using Stun & Daze. When you fill an enemy’s Daze bar, they get stunned. This gives you a safe time to attack.

Stunned enemies cannot hit you back.
You can use chain attacks now for more damage.
Some agents, like Lighter, make daze last longer. This helps your team hurt enemies more while they cannot move.

Tip: Try to build up Stagger Pressure fast. This lets you stun enemies sooner and use team attacks more often.

Chain Attacks

Chain Attacks let many agents attack together. You start a chain attack by hitting a stunned enemy.

Each agent joins in and adds to the damage.
Chain attacks use your team’s best skills.
Good timing with chain attacks can beat tough enemies fast.

Combat Mechanic	Description	Numerical Impact
Chain Attacks	Use them after stunning enemies.	Makes your team do more damage together.

Try to stun enemies first, then use chain attacks. This makes your team much stronger in fights.

Attribute Anomalies

Attribute Anomalies happen when you use elemental skills on enemies. These effects build up and trigger special things.

Each anomaly does its own kind of damage or effect.
Electric anomalies can freeze or shock enemies.
Fire anomalies can burn enemies over time.

Character	Role	Contribution to Team Synergy and Damage Output
Soukaku	Support	Gives ATK buffs, freezes enemies, and boosts team damage.
Grace	Support	Raises damage and helps with elemental combos.

Soukaku is good as an Electric Anomaly DPS. She can control fights and stack more anomaly damage.
If you use Soukaku with Vivian or Bernice, you can trigger more status effects and build up anomaly power.

Use agents with high Anomaly Proficiency and Mastery. This makes anomalies happen more and do more damage, helping your team win.

Disorder & Aftershock

Disorder and Aftershock help you lower enemy defenses and do more damage.

Disorder happens when you use a second anomaly while one is already active.
Aftershock comes from some abilities and adds extra hits.

Effect	Description
Disorder Effect	Drops enemy DEF by 25% for 10 seconds.
Aftershock Effect	Drops enemy DEF by 15% for 15 seconds.
Buffs to Player	Lets agents ignore 20% of enemy RES for 20 seconds.

Use these effects to break strong defenses. Plan your moves to trigger Disorder and Aftershock for big damage.

Dodging & Evasion

Dodging and evasion help you stay safe from enemy attacks. You can do a Perfect Dodge if you time it just right.

Perfect Dodge opens a chance to counterattack.
You can hit back and not take damage.
Good dodging keeps your agents alive longer.

Practice your timing to get Perfect Dodge right. This helps you survive and deal more damage.

Assists & Team Synergy

Assists take the place of blocking in Zenless Zone Zero. You can use assists to jump in and help your friends.

Assists let you stop enemy attacks or hit back fast.
You keep pressure on enemies and protect your team.
Team synergy gets better when you use assists well.

Combat Mechanic	Description	Numerical Impact
Assists	Jump in at the right time instead of blocking.	Stops damage or lets you attack quickly.

Build your team with agents who work well together. Use assists to keep your team strong and ready for anything.

You can get better at these combat mechanics by learning how they work with Combat Stats. Teamwork, using resources, and triggering anomalies all help you win battles.

Stats & Mechanics Interactions

Stat Influence on Mechanics

You can get better at fighting by knowing how stats work. Every agent has their own skills that use different stats. Basic attacks, dodges, and chain skills all need good numbers. When you hit enemies, the Daze Meter goes up. If the meter fills, enemies get stunned. This lets you use chain skills for big damage. If you know how Impact and Crit Rate work, you can control fights better. Your team will hit harder and stay alive longer.

Tip: Pick stats that fit your agent’s skills. This helps you stun and use chain attacks more often.

Team Building

You can make strong teams by mixing agents with different jobs and stats. Many good players use one DPS and two Supports. This team does lots of damage when enemies are Dazed. For example, the Boss Deletion Team uses Miyabi, Yanagi, and Yuzuha. They work together to beat one enemy fast. The Ice Freeze Lock Team uses Ellen, Lycaon, and Soukaku. This team is good against groups. They raise Crit rates and lower enemy resistance. You should pick agents who help each other and use their skills together. Check out our team building guide for more in-depth strategies.

Pick a main damage dealer.
Add supports who boost stats or control enemies.
Find combos that trigger chain attacks and anomalies.

Boss Fights & Challenges

Boss fights check how well you know Combat Stats and mechanics. You need to break enemy defenses and stun them fast. Challenging modes like Deadly Assault often require specific stat optimizations.

Stat	Impact	Importance in Boss Fights
Impact	Shows how fast you break enemy balance and trigger stun.	Faster stun buildup and more chances for chain attacks.
Anomaly Proficiency	Makes damage higher during key moments.	Gives more damage during stun and chain attacks.
Defense Penetration (PEN)	Lowers enemy Defense when you attack.	Needed for more damage against tough enemies.

You should make these stats higher for agents who fight bosses. This helps you stun, use chain attacks, and do more damage. You will beat hard stages and win more fights.

Combat Optimization Tips

Stat Upgrade Priorities

You should upgrade the most important skills first. Start with Core and Basic skills. Next, work on Ultimate and EX Special skills. Dodge and Switch skills are not as important for damage. DPS agents need better Basic Attack, Special, and Core skills. Support agents should upgrade Special and Core skills first. Basic Attack is not as useful for them. Secondary agents get the most from Core skills, but it depends on their job.

Tip: Focus on skills that help your agent the most. This makes your Combat Stats work better for you.

Agent Selection & Builds

Picking the right agents and builds makes your team stronger. Choose agents whose skills work well together. Use Drive Disks to make your agents even better. The table below shows how your choices help your team:

Aspect	Explanation
Team Synergy	Agents who work together make your team stronger.
Character Abilities	Custom builds make each agent do better in fights.
Enemy Adaptation	Changing your team for each enemy helps you win more.
Drive Disk Optimization	Upgrading Drive Disks makes your whole team better.

Adapting to Enemies

You need to change your plan for each enemy. Pair agents with elements that work well together. For example, use Ice to freeze, then Electric for more damage. Build teams that use enemy weaknesses. Use agents with the same element to keep effects going longer. Fill the Stun gauge fast for chain attacks. Defense agents protect your team. Anomaly agents mess up enemies. Mix Attack, Support, and Defense agents to handle anything.

Pair elements for combos.
Use enemy weaknesses.
Stack effects to control fights.
Use stun, defense, and anomaly agents.
Mix roles and use skills together.
