Zenless Zone Zero – Seth build and promotion guide

by

Strive for genuine justice using an optimized build of Seth from Zone Zero, devoid of Zen, and act as a protective barrier for your teammates. This Defense Agent is proficient in dishing out Electric damage and focuses on safeguarding allies while propelling them into action for swift combination attacks.

Seth has a capability called Resilience that he can accumulate through Defensive Aid, EX Special Attack, Chain Attack, or Ultimate. He can utilize this Resilience to boost his Improved Basic Attack, which not only deals extra Electric damage but also triggers the Quick Assist move of the team member standing just ahead of Seth in the lineup.

Seth’s Extra Special Attack can be built up for a powerful forward dash and inflict damage. It’s crucial to remember that the charge time for this move can decrease when transitioning from his Dodge Counter, Quick Assist, Assist Follow-Up, Chain Attack, or Ultimate.

  • Full Name: Seth Lowell
  • Role: Defense
  • Damage Type: Electric
  • Faction: Criminal Investigation Special Response Team
  • Rarity: A-Rank

Every time Seth unleashes his fully-charged EX Special Move, he generates a protective shield for himself that’s strengthened by his Attack power. This shield can be shared with an ally present on the battlefield through Seth’s abilities. Alongside its defensive properties, the shield enhances Anomaly Proficiency. Moreover, when teamed up with a N.E.P.S. Agent or another Electric-type character, Seth’s Chain Attack and Improved Basic Attack decrease the target’s Anomaly Buildup Resistance across all Attribute types.

Boosting your collection of Seth will raise his Mindscape Cinema Level and grant extra perks. Reaching Level 1 enhances Seth’s shield power and prolongs the duration of his Anomaly Proficiency boost. At Level 2, Seth’s Resolve gets filled upon entering combat and raises the rate at which his Enhanced Basic Attack generates Electric Anomaly Buildup. As you progress to Level 4, Seth’s Defensive Assist inflicts more Daze, while reaching Level 6 amplifies the damage of the final hit in his Enhanced Basic Attack sequence, ensuring it as a critical strike.

ZZZ – Seth: best W-Engines

In the game Peacekeeper – Specialized, Seth’s standout weapon, the W-Engine, shines brightly. This weapon is particularly beneficial for Seth since it boosts his attack power, thereby amplifying both his damage output and shield strength. Moreover, it offers Energy Regeneration to the user when they are under shield protection, enabling them to deploy their next EX Special Attack more swiftly. Notably, this engine also boosts Anomaly Buildup from EX Special Attacks and Assist Follow-Ups.

The weapon fittingly symbolizes Seth’s multifaceted function, encompassing his ability to protect, inflict harm, and aid in the accumulation of Anomaly Buildup.

Best W-Engines for Seth in ZZZ:

  • Peacekeeper – Specialized (A-Rank)
  • Bunny Band (A-Rank)
  • Spring Embrace (A-Rank)
  • [Identity] Inflection (B-Rank)

ZZZ – Seth: best Drive Discs

In the discussion earlier, it was highlighted that Seth’s key attribute is ATK, boosting both his damage output and shield power. If you’re not aiming for a purely defensive build (tank), increasing his offensive stats could be a smart choice. Boosting Anomaly Proficiency on him also offers advantages, particularly when paired with Mindscape Level 2, enabling Seth to consistently stun enemies with Shock. Energy Regeneration is another key aspect to consider, ensuring that Seth’s EX Special Attack is always ready for use whenever needed.

Best Drive Disc sets for Seth in ZZZ:

  • Astral Voice (4) + Swing Jazz (2): +10% ATK, whenever a squad member enters the field via Quick Assist, every ally gains one stack of Astral for 15s (up to three stacks), which increases the DMG of characters entering the field via Quick Assist by 8%; +20% Energy Regeneration.
  • Hormone Punk (4) + Swing Jazz (2): +10% ATK, +25% ATK for 10s after entering combat or being switched into combat, +20% Energy Regeneration.

Best Drive Disc stats for Seth in ZZZ:

  • Partition 1 – HP (Primary), ATK %, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Anomaly Proficiency
  • Partition 2 – ATK (Primary), ATK %, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Anomaly Proficiency
  • Partition 3 – DEF (Primary), ATK %, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Anomaly Proficiency
  • Partition 4 – ATK % (Primary), CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Anomaly Proficiency, ATK
  • Partition 5 – ATK % (Primary), CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Anomaly Proficiency, ATK
  • Partition 6 – Energy Regeneration (Primary), ATK %, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Anomaly Proficiency

ZZZ – Seth: best team comps

Seth significantly strengthens an Anomaly Agent team due to his ability to offer crucial assistance beyond just his standard protective abilities, particularly in reinforcing the main Damage Per Second (DPS) member.

  • Jane (Main DPS), Qingyi (Sub DPS), Seth (Support)
  • Bangboo: Officer Cui

A complete N.E.P.S. squad featuring Jane Doe at its core offers an optimal playground for Seth: He can maintain the team’s health using his shield and swiftly reinstate Jane’s activity, enhancing her Anomaly Proficiency. Moreover, she’ll activate his passive teamwork ability, enabling Seth to impede the enemy’s Anomaly Buildup RES, thereby amplifying his own effectiveness. Lastly, Qingyi serves as a fitting third member due to her stun abilities, fostering more frequent Chain Attacks for both Jane and Seth.

The agents named Grace, Piper, Burnice, Yanagi, Miyabi, and Vivian are substitute Anomaly DPS Agents who would gain from Seth’s company, although it is important to mention that those who do not deal Electric damage on their own do not meet the criteria for Seth’s teamwork skill to activate.

ZZZ – Seth: promotion materials

Once you acquire Seth, your goal should be to elevate him swiftly to utilize his skills effectively in battle. To boost him up to Level 60, here’s a list of the necessary materials for the upgrade process:

After getting Seth, aim to increase his level rapidly so you can take advantage of his talents in combat. Here are the items required for his Level 60 upgrade:

  • Basic Defense Certification Seal x4
  • Advanced Defense Certification Seal x32
  • Defender Certification Seal x30
  • Dennies x800,000

In the VR Combat Simulation, you can earn Certification Seals. Additionally, it’s possible to create advanced materials using basic ones. Furthermore, Denny points can be accumulated not only by participating in the VR Combat Simulation but also through managing the Random Play video store.

Enhancing Seth isn’t just about raising his level; you’ll also want to optimize all his abilities for optimal performance in combat. To do this, you’ll require specific materials to fully upgrade his Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack. The total amount of materials given is for maxing out each skill entirely, so simply divide the total by five to determine the required materials for a single skill upgrade.

  • Basic Shock Chip x25
  • Advanced Shock Chip x75
  • Specialized Shock Chip x250
  • Hamster Cage Pass x5
  • Dennies x2,500,000

In the virtual reality combat simulation, you can cultivate chips, and there’s an option to create sophisticated and tailored chips too. On the other hand, Hamster Cage Passes are a scarce resource that can be obtained from limited-time events or the New Eridu City Fund.

Ultimately, you’ll have the opportunity to enhance Seth’s Core Skill up to six times, requiring these specific resources:

  • Higher Dimensional Data: Falling Fist x60
  • Living Drive x9
  • Dennies x405,000

In the Expert Challenge: Rampant Brute, you can obtain the data set related to Higher Dimensional Data, titled “Falling Fist”. On the other hand, the data known as “Living Drive” can only be obtained through the Notorious Hunt: Unknown Corruption Complex.
