Zenless Zone Zero – Ellen build and promotion guide

by

As a dedicated enthusiast, I’d guide you on crafting the ultimate Zenless Zone Zero Ellen build – a formidable force to be reckoned with! With this optimized setup, you’ll effortlessly reduce bothersome tasks to mere trivialities. This chilly Ice Attack Agent is an unrelenting melee powerhouse, boasting exceptional mobility and lightning-fast attack speed. Perfect for swiftly subduing any foe that crosses your path!

Ellen’s primary gameplay involves acquiring and using piles of Flash Freeze abilities. You can obtain Flash Freeze through two methods: The first method is by performing EX Special Attacks, while the second option is to activate the Roaming State and carry out Enhanced Dash Attacks.

To enter the Roaming State, press and hold the dash button. These upgraded dash attacks not only accumulate Flash Freeze but also guarantee Shatter when striking frozen foes. Similar to Flash Freeze-enhanced Basic Attacks, these upgraded dash attacks receive a substantial boost to CRIT DMG due to Ellen’s Core Skill.

  • Full Name: Ellen Joe
  • Role: Attack
  • Damage Type: Ice
  • Faction: Victoria Housekeeping Co.
  • Rarity: S-Rank

If Ellen works alongside colleagues from Victoria Housekeeping Company or fellow Ice Agents, she’ll accumulate an escalating boost to Ice Damage every time she inflicts Ice Damage on a target. This enables her to gradually amass significant power, culminating in a powerful climax.

Obtaining extra Mindscape Cinema copies for Ellen can significantly enhance her combat power. At Level 1, it accelerates Flash Freeze generation and boosts Ellen’s Critical Rate when using Flash Freeze. Level 2 grants her the ability to transition directly from the third hit in her Basic Attack sequence to an EX Special Attack, while also increasing the CRIT Damage of the EX Special Attack based on the number of remaining Flash Freeze charges. At Level 4, Ellen recovers Energy and Flash Freeze charges whenever an ally freezes or stuns an enemy, along with the Quick Charge effect that reduces the charging time for her Enhanced Dash Attack.

Ultimately, an increase in Ellen’s PEN Ratio becomes quite pronounced when she performs EX Special Attacks or Chain Attacks, or obtains Quick Charge. Each of these scenarios triggers a stack of “The Feast Begins”. When Ellen reaches three charges while using a Charged Scissor Attack during her Enhanced Dash Attack, she consumes “The Feast Begins”, boosting the attack’s damage significantly.

ZZZ – Ellen: best teams

As a formidable gamer, I’m a real beast in battlefields, but my true power lies in teamwork. When we work together effectively, we can amplify the damage I dish out significantly.

  • Ellen (Main DPS), Lycaon (Sub DPS), Soukaku (Support)
  • Bangboo: Sharkboo

As an enthusiast, I’ve noticed that Lycaon and Soukaku each offer remarkable skills that significantly boost Ellen’s damage output. The Stun Agent, being my ally, reduces the adversary’s Ice Defense and enables Chain Attacks, while the Support Agent, waving her flag high, enhances the entire team’s Ice Damage and fortifies the attack power of allies engaged in Chain Attacks she initiates. This seamless transition from one agent to another creates a crystal-clear rotation strategy for optimal performance.

If your team concept revolves around Victoria Housekeeping, Rina makes an excellent substitute for Soukaku, enhancing your PEN Ratio. Astra Yao is another robust Support option for the third position. Instead of Lycaon, consider using Lighter as he amplifies your team’s Ice Damage.
