Jul. 4, 2024

Zenless Zone Zero has finally released, and like all gacha games, the Agents or characters are the main showcase of the game. Each Agent in the ZZZ has an attribute and a specialty, which dictates their playstyle, and the Drive Discs and W-Engines you should equip on them. Here is a complete guide on what Attribute, Anomaly, and Specialty are inZenless Zone Zero.

Zenless Zone Zero Agent Attributes and Anomaly

Every agent in the game has a different element type, like Ice, Fire, or Physical. These elements are called Attributes in Zenless Zone Zero. There are five different attributes in Zenless Zone Zero — Ice, Fire, Ether, Physical, and Electric.

When agents deal attribute damage to enemies, they caninflict Anomaly debuffdepending on the attribute type. For example, hitting enemies with Electric attacks can inflict a Shock Anomaly. Every Attribute Anomaly works differently, like Ice inflicts Shatter, while Physical buildup inflicts Assault. Also, inflicting two Anomalies at the same time on enemies can trigger the Disrupt Anomaly effect.

Other than the Attribute type,every Agent also has a specialty.The Agent’s Specialty dictates their playstyle and team role. There are 5 Agent Specialties at the launch of the game:

Agents can only equip W-Engines of the same Specialty. For example, Stun Agents can only equip Stun W-Engines. Building a team around synergized specialty agents is the best way to ease the hardest combat challenges in the game.
