Frank Burger collaboration announcement, 'Zenless Zone Zero' 2.0 broadcast

 

Hoyoverse held a special broadcast today (23rd) ahead of the 2.0 version update of its urban fantasy action RPG 'Zenless Zone Zero'. The broadcast, featuring key developers including CEO Liu Wei, introduced the major patch details and improvements of the 2.0 version, coinciding with the 1st anniversary of Zenless Zone Zero, and what comes after.

 

First, a detailed introduction followed regarding the major area 'Waipei Peninsula' of the 2.0 version, revealed through the planner interview last April, and the core 'Qingfang Heights' within it. With Qingfang Heights already revealed as the production site of 'Porcellum', a major material in the story, users who reach there will experience a new routine similar to the existing one. First of all, the Tinman Master's 'Koffee Koffee' and the Rope Catcher's random play will also start a business trip service, and you can collect action power, skill materials, and Dennies in Qingfang Heights in the same way. And you can get rewards with fortune telling at the newly added Fortune House. The fortune telling reward of Fortune House is treated the same as the lottery at the stalls in District 6 or Lumina Plaza, so you have to choose one of them.

 

 

 

▲ Okay, so lottery = fortune telling, got it

 

On the other hand, detailed news about the operation and management of Fortune House, which was revealed in the last planner interview, was also mentioned. The operation and management of Fortune House is carried out in the form of dispatching Bangbu, and each Bangbu has different specialties, so efficiency increases when dispatched to the right place. In addition, in order to reduce the gap between new and returning users who lack Bangbu, you can recruit Bangbu to dispatch through some missions during management or the 'Bangbu Box' newly introduced in 2.0. In addition, you can acquire goods such as Cloudweave and management materials, and White Tokens at new stores called Eumchaseon and Homulpo in Qingfang Heights.

 

White Tokens are special goods exclusively for pawnshops that are added from 2.0, and can be exchanged for skins and various goods. In particular, the 'Charge Card' sold at pawnshops can immediately complete uncleared exploration and combat requests and acquire rewards, so it is expected to be useful as a means for users with pending quests to quickly finish their homework. Another new currency, 'Cloudweave', is used to exchange items related to Fortune House, and is used as a means to increase the efficiency of Fortune House operation.

 

▲ Is it time for Bangbu to go on expeditions in addition to agent sales?

 

▲ The Bangbu to go on expeditions can be obtained from the Bangbu Box

 

 

▲ Various goods obtained from the expedition can be exchanged for other goods

 

Changes in combat in addition to daily life were also mentioned. In 2.0, the Rope Catcher acquires various insights after training with Yihyun, and interactions on the battlefield increase further. First of all, you can destroy obstacles blocking the way with 'Ruin Arts', and you can capture and disappear or manifest specific objects with 'Manifest Arts'. In addition, you can find hidden clues with 'Trace Arts' to reach your goal more easily. In addition, as the overall structure becomes more complex, warp and minimap are supported within the Hollows, and the map is newly reorganized in the New Eridu area outside the Hollows.

 

In combat, a new gimmick, 'Miasma Erosion', is added. If you come into contact with the erosion or are attacked or hit by an enemy with the effect, the pollution level accumulates, and when the level reaches its maximum, damage based on the HP percentage is inflicted on all allied party members. Some powerful enemies, including bosses, absorb Miasma energy to become strengthened, and in order to release this, characters must attack to reduce the shield. When the shield is destroyed, the party members' energy is restored.

 

▲ It looks familiar, but be careful of the floor patterns anyway

 

▲ The boss is even wearing that energy

 

▲ Instead, the return when you break it has also increased

 

▲ As the Hollows become more complex, warp points are now created

 

Detailed information about the new character 'Yihyun', which will be added with the 2.0 version update, has also been released. 'Yihyun', the Moon Lord of Mount Ungyu, is a character comparable to the Hollow Hunter, and is a newly added 'Penetration' attribute character. This attribute is a type that has both damage and survival, and is specialized in ignoring the enemy's defense and dealing a large amount of damage through penetration damage.

 

Along with this, the newly added 'Penetration Power' is a new stat that ignores defense and directly damages the enemy. Penetration attribute characters specialized in this convert some of their attack power into penetration power, and in the case of Yihyun, penetration power increases according to the maximum HP.

 

'Yihyun', who will show the new attribute for the first time, charges magic every time he deals damage to the enemy, and if he uses his ultimate skill by consuming magic, he can acquire 'Mystic Ink' stats. If you consume Mystic Ink stats, you can cast special magic, and most of Yihyun's skills have evasion judgment, so if you use them at the right time, you can reliably respond to the enemy's attacks.

 

Also, if you completely evade, you will recover energy, and if you charge a strengthened special skill, you can automatically guard and counterattack and recover energy, so the connection to the ultimate skill is smoothly connected. In addition, if you use 'Mystic Ink' stats when evading, the skill changes slightly, such as moving quickly, so it is a bit complicated, but it is expected to provide new fun to users with a different mechanism and play style. In addition to adding a new mechanism, additional ability activation conditions are added to the existing support characters Astra Yao, Koleda, Lucy, and Pulkura. If a 'Penetration' attribute character exists in the party where these characters are organized, additional abilities are activated.

 

▲ Hollow Hunter level, and also the Moon Lord

 

▲ Yihyun was released as a character with an independent stack and a new attribute 'Penetration'

 

▲ Accordingly, some of the existing support characters are also patched to be able to respond to the 'Penetration' attribute

 

The newly added A-class agent 'Benny' adds 'Brute Force' points when using a strengthened special attack, and when he has this, he activates pressure points on the monster. When another character is replaced and put in with the activation of pressure points, Benny automatically remains on the field and continues to attack until the Brute Force points disappear. At this time, the penetration power of the replaced character increases based on the percentage of Benny's attack power. Also, when using the ultimate skill, he not only deals powerful physical damage, but also grants HP recovery and short-term continuous recovery buffs to allies, so he also serves as a supporter who takes care of the party's stability.

 

▲ The new agent 'Benny' is in charge of fierce offensive and ally support

 

The S-class agent 'Gokugok' who will appear in the second half of 2.0 is a character who handles a unique popcorn pot 'Howitzer' and can deal physical and fire damage. Even when Gokugok is on standby, 'Howitzer' appears on the field and automatically engages in combat with allied characters by consuming Vigor points. Every time 'Howitzer' attacks an enemy or Gokugok hits an enemy with Howitzer, the temperature and pressure rise, and when it exceeds a certain level, it automatically sprays popcorn and flames to inflict area-of-effect fire damage.

 

Also, when Gokugok activates a combo skill, the skill damage such as critical damage, combo skill, and ultimate skill of all characters increases. In addition, if you press the attack button continuously during the third normal attack, you will continue to attack until the enemy dies, and if you press and hold the attack button at this time, a powerful blow is activated. Also, if a Force or Penetration character in the party uses an ultimate skill, it recovers a certain level of decibels, and if you switch to Gokugok after using the ultimate skill, Gokugok remains on the field in a 'Spin' state and continues to attack until the stats are exhausted. In addition, the new Bangbu 'Saya' is scheduled to be newly added in the 2.0 version, and Yihyun's skin 'Traces of Ink Shadow' can also be found in the store.

 

▲ Not only powerful damage on its own

 

▲ Leave the pot behind, and when the stats rise, explode it when switching to deal additional damage

 

▲ 'Gokugok', who has prepared combo skills in various ways, will appear as a pickup in the second half of 2.0

 

▲ Check out Yihyun's skin in the store after the 2.0 update

 

As the new area 'Gravity Cinema' of Lumina Plaza opens in the 2.0 version, the related event 'Meeting Drawn by Gravity' is also revealed. In this event, users invite various characters and build relationships while watching their favorite movies. This event is opened as a permanent event, and if you complete all the events, you can secure various goods including the A-class W-Engine 'Light-Engraving Blade'.

 

In addition, a unique event involving Belobog Industries and Mecha, 'Steel Soul: Golden Bond', will also be introduced with the 2.0 update. In this event, you control a mechanic with Bangbu and engage in a fierce battle between giant mechanics. If you complete all the event stories, 'Infinite Mode' is unlocked, and you can test yourself to see how long you can last against infinitely appearing enemies. In addition, 'Hologram Assault Battlefield', where more challenging stages appear, will also be introduced.

 

▲ A golden giant robot war, I can't stand it

 

As the new area 'Qingfang Heights' is added, 'Qingfang Tourist Guide' will be newly added during the 2.0 version. If you go to various areas appearing in the guide and perform missions, you will be given various rewards. In addition, a new request 'Path Covered with Disaster' is added to the Zero Hollows. In this request, a new companion series is added, and when a character activates a specific skill while wearing it, the next character provides chase support, introducing a new effect.

 

In addition, a new content 'Special Investigation' is introduced to the existing Zero Hollows: Lost Land. A tactical prism plan is added to this content, and unlike the existing agent-only armaments that were focused on only one person, other party members can also add their own plans. In addition, 2x encouragement is unlocked after acquiring the special investigation so that you can quickly acquire request rewards, and you can quickly acquire additional rewards after the first clear. In addition, special missions are added for each agent to encourage users to use various characters.

 

New Notorious Hunt and Discs are also added. The new disc 'Ungyu Story' increases HP by 10%, increases critical hit chance when casting strengthened special skills, combo skills, and ultimate skills, and increases penetration damage when holding 3 stacks. The 'King of the Forest' disc has the effect of increasing the groggy stat and increasing the party member's critical damage when a breaking character casts a strengthened special skill or combo skill, so it is expected to change the meta of the breaking character. In addition, new A-class and B-class W-Engines will also be added in the 2.0 version.

 

 

Along with this, events and improvements coinciding with the 1st anniversary of 'Zenless Zone Zero' were introduced. First of all, various rewards are provided with the 'Golden Rope Awards Ceremony of the Year' event, and a special sweep 3x reward event is also held during the 1st anniversary period. 1,600 Polychromes are provided with the 2.0 update, and 20 Confidential Master Tapes and 10 Bangbu Tickets, which are limited gacha goods, are additionally provided through the attendance event. In addition, new costumes for Main Story Wise and Bell can be acquired for free. In addition, a total of 480 Polychromes are provided with the attendance check event held from the 23rd, and the store is initialized with the 2.0 update.

 

In addition, UI and key optimization work is also carried out, and an option to convert to the basic key setting at once is also provided for users who are not familiar with the change. Also, in the past, observation data had to be acquired in the reputation promotion mission, but now you can be promoted immediately just by clearing the story.

 

 

 

 

▲ Various rewards are provided and various conveniences such as map interface are improved

 

When connecting a controller while playing with a keyboard and mouse in a PC environment, you had to go out and come back in the past, but quick switching is possible from 2.0. In addition, if you apply a random mode in the practical simulation, the function of automatically matching with an enemy that is easy for the currently selected party member to deal with is also applied. If you turn on this function, the initial energy increases to 60, and most characters can use strengthened special skills to push quickly, so you can play comfortably. In addition, a function to check detailed information related to resources and delete unnecessary parts is added, making it easier to secure capacity. Along with this, a contest commemorating the 1st anniversary of Zenless Zone Zero and an offline collaboration with 'Frank Burger' were also announced.

 

The 2.0 version of Zenless Zone Zero is scheduled to be updated on June 6th, and detailed information will be additionally updated through the official lounge later.
