Building your squads is a vital element of Zenless Zone Zero, but to do that well, you will need to know all about fighting styles. All characters have a fighting that dictates how you should best use them in combat.
All Fighting Styles in Zenless Zone Zero
There are two main elements to each character that need to be considered: Attributes and Fighting Styles. Attributes are the elements that the characters possess, while fighting style is more about how the character behaves and how best to take advantage of them. The most important element is how to use those two factors together to your advantage, and we shall talk about that more shortly.
Attack | These characters do a lot of damage and are ideal main DPS characters. They can just do better damage numbers, quicker, and with less fuss than other characters. There will be a lot of variety across the different characters as to the source of this extra damage, so read their skills carefully. |
Stun | These are excellent crowd-control characters. They build up Daze faster than other characters, making them extremely valuable when it comes to stunning enemies. Stunned enemies can be hit with Chain Attacks to that do a lot of damage. |
Support | Support characters are pretty self-explanatory, offering buffs to your team, healing them, and generally improving team performance rather than directly outputting damage themselves. Ideal Supports are on the field for a short time and then get switched out. |
Defense | These characters have high health pools and will tend to tank far more damage than others. They are great if you are fighting enemies that are difficult to dodge or stun for any reason. This is a good option for people who might struggle with the speed of combat in the game. |
Anomaly | These characters tend to excel at building up Attribute Anomalies and triggering them. |
What you will want to do is think a lot about the characters is their style and attribute, and what they get you. For example, Lycaon is an Ice character who has the Stun fighting style. This would allow him to freeze enemies, inflict Frostbite, opening them up to more critical damage, and stun them, opening them up to brutal chain attacks. While his own damage might not be optimal, his ability to set up another character to really do a lot of DPS is second to none.
