Zenless Zone Zero Deadly Assault Mode

Unlocking Deadly Assault

You unlock Deadly Assault after reaching a certain point in Zenless Zone Zero. Usually, you need to finish the main story up to Chapter 2 and reach level 40. Once you do this, you will see Deadly Assault in the game’s event menu. Just tap the event, and you can start your first run. If you do not see it, check if you have finished all the required missions. The game will guide you with pop-ups and hints, so you will not miss it.

Core Mechanics

Deadly Assault brings a new challenge. You must build three different teams. Each team fights a level 70 boss with its own special moves and tricks. You have three minutes for each fight. Your goal is to score as many points as possible. You earn points by dealing damage and completing special tasks during the battle.

Here are some things you need to know:

• You must use three separate teams for three boss fights.
• Each boss has unique mechanics and is more aggressive than usual.
• You can pick one of three buffs for each team before the fight. Choose wisely to match your team’s strengths.
• You get points for damage and for finishing certain tasks.
• The more points you earn, the more stars you get. One star needs 6,000 points, two stars need 14,000, and three stars need 20,000.

Tip: Try to learn each boss’s patterns. Use the right buffs and agents to get higher scores!

Mode Reset Timing

Deadly Assault resets every week. When the timer hits zero, your progress and scores reset. You can try again with new teams and strategies. This gives you a fresh chance to earn better rewards. Make sure to play before the reset so you do not miss out on prizes. If you want to improve your score, you can reset your run during the week and try again. This helps you practice and find the best team setups.

Boss Guide

[Fierce Automaton] – Stage & Weakness

You face Fierce Automaton in a high-tech arena. The stage has moving platforms and electric traps. Watch your step because the boss can push you into hazards. Fierce Automaton uses heavy physical attacks and shoots energy beams. You see it charge up before big moves, so you get a chance to dodge.

Fierce Automaton is weak to electric and ice attacks. If you bring agents with these elements, you break its shield faster. When the shield drops, the boss gets stunned for a few seconds. That is your best time to deal big damage.

Pro Tip: Stay close to the boss after it uses a big attack. You get a short window to hit hard before it recovers.

[Fierce Automaton] – Team & Strategy

You want a team with electric and ice skills. Lucia and Ellen work well here. Lucia can hit groups and single targets with electric moves. Ellen freezes the boss and slows it down. Add a support agent like Astra or Yuzuha for buffs and healing. Mastering combat mechanics like chain attacks is key here.

Try this plan:

• Start with your support agent. Use buffs right away.
• Switch to Lucia or Ellen. Focus on breaking the boss’s shield.
• When the boss gets stunned, use your strongest attacks.
• Dodge the boss’s charge moves. Stay away from the edge of the stage.

If you keep up the pressure and use your buffs, you will beat Fierce Automaton before the timer runs out.

[Abyssal Behemoth] – Stage & Weakness

Abyssal Behemoth fights in a dark, flooded arena. Water slows you down, so you need to watch your movement. The boss uses heavy ground slams and sends out shockwaves. Sometimes, it calls in minions to distract you.

Abyssal Behemoth is weak to fire and rupture attacks. When you use agents with these skills, you break its armor faster. After the armor breaks, the boss gets knocked down and cannot attack for a short time.

Note: Minions can block your attacks. Take them out fast so you can focus on the boss.

[Abyssal Behemoth] – Team & Strategy

Bring agents with fire or rupture skills. Yixuan and Ju Fufu are great picks. Yixuan deals big rupture damage. Ju Fufu helps with crowd control and can clear minions quickly. Add Caesar or Pulchra for defense and healing.

Here is a simple plan:

• Use Ju Fufu to clear minions first.
• Switch to Yixuan. Focus on breaking the boss’s armor.
• When the boss falls, use your strongest fire or rupture attacks.
• Keep moving to dodge shockwaves. Do not stand in the water too long.

If you keep your team healthy and focus on the boss’s weak points, you will win the fight.

[Spectral Warden] – Stage & Weakness

Spectral Warden appears in a haunted, misty arena. The stage has ghostly traps that slow you down. The boss uses fast, sweeping attacks and can teleport. Sometimes, it becomes invisible for a few seconds.

Spectral Warden is weak to physical and burst damage. When you use agents with strong single-target skills, you break its guard faster. After the guard breaks, the boss cannot teleport or turn invisible for a short time.

Watch out: When Spectral Warden glows, it is about to teleport. Get ready to dodge or block.

[Spectral Warden] – Team & Strategy

You need a balanced team with strong DPS and support. Here are some team ideas that work well against Spectral Warden:

Team Composition	Description
Dialyn, Yixuan, Ju Fufu, Yidhari, Lycaon, Lucia	A balanced team with strong DPS and support capabilities.
Miyabi, Yanagi, Yuzuha	Focused on high damage output with some defensive options.
Orphie, Lighter, Nicole	A defensive team composition that can withstand heavy attacks.
Yixuan, Ju Fufu, Pan	A versatile team that can adapt to various situations.

Try this approach:

• Start with your support agent. Use buffs to boost your team.
• Switch to your main DPS, like Yixuan or Miyabi. Focus on breaking the boss’s guard.
• When the boss becomes visible, use your strongest burst attacks.
• If the boss turns invisible, use defensive skills or block until it reappears.

If you keep your team balanced and react to the boss’s moves, you will clear this stage. Zenless Zone Zero rewards you for learning each boss’s patterns and picking the right team. For community tips on bosses, check the ZZZ Subreddit.

Buffs & Effects

Key Buffs This Phase

Buffs can change the way you play Deadly Assault. You get to pick from several powerful options before each fight. These buffs boost your team’s attack, defense, and critical hit rate. If you want to score high, you need to know what each buff does.

Here’s a quick look at the most useful buffs this phase:

Buff Description	Effect
Random Bond Level increases by 1, all Bangboo ATK increases by 20	Raises your attack power for every agent
Front row Bangboo ATK increased by 40%	Makes your frontline units hit much harder
All Bangboo on the field gain 25% initial Mana and 15% CRIT Rate	Lets you start fights with more resources and a better chance to land critical hits
Gain 40% CRIT chance, skills can trigger a critical hit	Gives your team a huge boost in damage output
All units recover 35 HP per second	Keeps your agents alive longer during tough battles

Tip: If you want to break boss shields fast, pick buffs that boost attack or critical chance. If you struggle to survive, healing buffs help your team last longer.

Maximizing Buff Usage

You can get more out of buffs if you match them with your team’s strengths. Try these ideas:

• Choose attack buffs for teams with strong DPS agents. Lucia and Yixuan love extra damage.
• Pick critical hit buffs when you use agents who rely on burst damage. Miyabi and Ellen can finish fights quickly with more crits.
• Use healing buffs if you notice your team drops health too fast. Caesar and Pulchra work well with these.
• Mix resource buffs with agents who need Mana for their skills. This helps you start strong and keep up the pressure.

Don’t forget to switch buffs between fights. If you face a boss with lots of minions, use attack buffs. If the boss hits hard, go for healing. You can test different combos each week. The right buff can turn a close fight into an easy win. 

Remember: Buffs don’t just make your team stronger. They help you adapt to each boss and score more points. Try new setups and see what works best for you! ManaBuy can help you get resources to upgrade your characters for these buffs.
