Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ) is loaded with fast-paced action and fresh mechanics, drawing the interest of both gacha veterans and newcomers. Here are the most commonly asked questions and concise expert answers to help you start strong.

What is Zenless Zone Zero?

  • ZZZ is an urban, action-RPG from HoYoverse featuring stylish real-time combat, proxy-based gameplay, and a roguelike mission system. You build teams of three “Agents” to explore procedurally generated Hollows and battle enemies called the Ethereal.

How does combat work?

  • Teams of 3 main Agents (plus a Bangboo support) enter Hollow runs.
  • Swap between Agents for combos, chain attacks (QTEs), and maximize “Daze” on enemies.
  • Well-timed dodges create “Perfect Dodge” counters.
  • “Perfect Assists” allow fast swapping and defensive retaliation.

What’s the main objective?

  • You act as the Proxy, guiding your squad through the Hollows, fighting, solving puzzles, and completing side quests around New Eridu to strengthen your team and progress the main story.

How do I unlock new characters (Agents)?

  • Through the gacha system (called Inter-Knot/Signal Search), story progression, and event rewards. Rate-up banners rotate over time.

What platforms are supported? Is ZZZ crossplay?

  • PC, PS5, iOS, and Android at launch.
  • Account progress uses your HoYoverse ID and is cross-platform, but servers (Americas, Asia, Europe, Taiwan/HK/Macau) do NOT share progress, pick the right region for your friend group.

How do I level up and upgrade Agents?

  • Level up agents using “Combat Data” materials.
  • Ascend Agents for higher limits with Hollows materials.
  • Upgrade skills and equip best W-Engines (ZZZ’s gear) for improvement.

What are Bangboo?

  • Adorable AI sidekicks that support in battle with unique skills, summoned as part of your team build.

Is there stamina/energy, and what should I spend it on early?

  • Yes, used for Hollow explorations and boss fights.
  • Prioritize Agent level-up materials, Hollows progression, and farming for core upgrades.​

Are there weekly/daily activities?

  • Yes! Complete Bounties, explore Hollows, challenge bosses, and finish time-limited nodes for critical rewards, these reset weekly.​

Can I transfer my progress between server regions/platforms?

  • You can share progress between devices by logging into the same HoYoverse account on PC, mobile, or PS5 within the same region.
  • Server choice is permanent once you’ve claimed mail/onboard rewards.​

Tips for Beginners

  • Focus on learning “Daze/Chain Attack” mechanics.
  • Assemble balanced teams (damage, control, support).
  • Explore Hollow maps thoroughly, hidden loot and shortcuts abound!
  • Save premium pulls for rate-up banners or favorite Agents.

Where can I get more help?

  • The official site and community FAQ, the Zenless subreddit, and global Discord have ongoing resources and guides.
  • Top creator guides are also a great place to start with practical gameplay walkthroughs.​
