Game inserts a system that forces you to not rush out everything, "really frustrating and annoying"... I mean if you're rushing everything I understand, but I think it's a really good premise, the game feel more organic and reminds me of traditional JRPG in a good way. Also, convenience store is a tourist trap, you will need the dennies later on to unlock later tiers of character lvls
Convenience store isn't that much of a trap. I'd say if you are properly building just 1 team (yes, you need 2 later, but you always should focus 1 first), then you'll be fine for dennies. Dennies come in at a daily rate and steady supply, where as the materials in the shop are only obtainable through battery usage and/or events. Eventually as in all gacha games, you will be swimming in the generic currency at some point down the line. It aids progression, even if the denny conversion is not 1:1 for amount spent to amount obtained for battery usage. Build your account appropriately and there will be no shortage of generic currency. In Wuwa (different game, I know), I've built all but 2 characters on my account and I'm strapped for Shell Credits, but through events/milestones/dailies, it put me back on track. However when I run out of Echo/Character exp, I will have no choice but to either refresh or wait. For about 1 day, I had no shell credits and now I have plenty + no shortage of progression materials. I really think people shouldn't be as frugal when it comes to permanent account upgrades such as character and skill leveling, especially for the cost of generic currency. I'll be buying this shop out every week and if I remember this comment, I'll come back and reply as to how I'm doing and when I run out of currency.
@@nes6845 Guarantee that when you start pushing characters to level 60 you will run out of dennies and will regret every single one of them you spent on this shop.
This. 100% agree everything feels like a natural unlock as opposed to “Rush story then start grind model of other games. I’m surprised as to the amount story events the game throws at you and that too at a steady clip. I almost don’t wanna run out of content now 😢
My only problem with farming and with the game in general is stamina regeneration. You genuinely can do 3 battles a day. Is way slower taking end game in consideration.

I have played on my phone only until like the end of prologue, downloaded into my ps5 and have gone farther. I have the main 3 Billy, Nicole, and Anby lvl 30, and Corin 20. Haven't pulled for anything besides the Bangboo. So that's how i got my engines for Nicole, Corin, and Billy for now. Seeing how far I can get minimally before i start pulling and trying for some sets if i get multiple pulls. I liked learning and hearing about this stuff since I'm big in HSR on my ps5 so trying to decide how I want to maneuver with the synthesiser thing. I have 6 Bangboo. Bagboo at 4 Star lvl 20, Electroboo 2 star lvl 17, Boollseye 1 star lvl 10 and Devilboo 1 star lvl 10. The 4 that are probably best useable for the 4 characters and team rotations where I'm at with Inter-Knot 21. Knowing not to upgrade gear to much is fantastic too know until 40 cause I can just focus on the minimal i have plus the added Soukaku when I get to chapter 2. So I'll have 5 of 6 characters and then go back through hard. Thank you for the insightful video.
I am only a casual person and casual viewer so I may not watch constantly, but I'll definitely look forward to more information as the game progresses and try to be a better viewer as I progress my journey with zzz behind you/beside you as I catch up lol
13:12, if you click the exlamation icon near the denny cost it can show you all the materials each lvl, and the special material is only for lvl 12, but i dont know how to aquire it tho.
Convenient store is a straight up scam, rn some of you may feel like you'll never need dennies, but believe me when I say that every zzz player will at least be short on dennies once in their playtime, and it won't feel good, also if you do the maths, you'll see that these materials are not cost efficient at all
You're right. There are stepping stones for dennies. We will all get there soon enough. You'll find a 100k denny upgrade, then 200k, etc. Save 'em up and don't waste 'em. Play the long game and collect as much as you can.
@@docedeleite16 yea even the c one, however if you're out of stamina and need one or two material for a decisive upgrade then I can see them being useful
If Genshin's Gold talent books experience is any indicator, we can likely expect zero to abysmal drop for top-tier materials. The total waste of time farming experience at top adventure rank is likely going to happen all over again when we look at GI setting the precedence, and HSR is also following that formula. ZZZ won't be an exception.
DO NOT BUY FROM THE CONVENIENCE STORE Even setting aside that you WILL need those dennies later, converting the costs to energy shows that it is absolutely not worth it. You are spending anywhere from 2x to 5x the actual energy cost to farm the items when you buy them from that shop.
Both in Genshin and HSR you will seat on millions of mora/credits. In Genshin I never farm mora or was in situation where I need mora, in 4 years never once. In HSR I was because I lvlup every characters to max I did get to the point that I was short on credits. In wuwa on the other hand even with Free apology gifts I get short on money after 2 weeks of playing, it takes 2 times more money in wuwa, because you must waste money on echo reroll, you simply can’t decide good echo or bad before lvlup…
Yeah but dennies are free and charge is time gated/money gated so the comparison is bad. I can spend dennies for mats or recharge my energy to farm mats and one of those is a smarter choice
ive done 3 100 energy runs to get the promotional material to get my agents to 50. i need 10 and only got 1 in those 3 runs. feels awful. am i just supposed to buy polys so i can spam more energy? i just wanna grind my character progression. even with low rates i dont mind, but like. come on man. i really enjoyed grinding my characters but these zero rates are ass. like id rather just play something else then....
So, one thing the game has is a huge underlying story of taking care of yourself and not doing too much in one day. The mechanics force you to sleep and eat and take personal time. Compared to other HoYo games, it's got characters that genuinely care and are good people. Unlike HSR where everyone is guilty of Crimes against humanity.
If you play genshin and hsr you'll see that's nothing wrong with the upgrade material drop as genshin and star rail also do the same imo...for example talent in genshin and traces in star rail...1 run basically will give you nothing at minimum and its the same with zzz tho...that includes the level mats
I have a task to reach interknot lvl 34 but I've done tasks (Video archive, the police mission, daily missions, exploration, commissions, and combat) any other quests I'm missing?
it does feel like it takes away sometimes especially if your focus is combat, but i will be honest and admit that i really liked the turret-defense plants vs zombie mode!
We have absolutely seen the chance to recieve 0 of the highest tier mats in both Genshin and Star Rail. Thats standard. Its basically the exact same drop rates in ZZZ. You really need to check this stuff before yapping, my guy.
such an L mihoyo(yet again) 0-5 is such bull xD i 100% agree with you and ye maybe this is fixed once u hit lvl 50(and even then best case scenario is gonna be 2-6 or something) but REALISTICLY at this stage of the game u happy u hitting 40. 50 is gonna be a loooooong ass time even if they like add new story in 1.1 especially considering that zzz is like hsr where u cant really "add" content to each area maybe a few chests here and there and a few side quests but thats it. Big L
Ice element is head and shoulders above all other elements. Other elements are either DOT or one massive damage. Ice is crit-oriented and still has massive damage at the end. Ice will always be meta. And i fucking hate it
Electric team is just as good, Fire teams are good, too. People are just too dumb to build decent teams. In this video example, he uses grace as DPS although she is an anomaly unit that needs Anton as a carry.
everytime you say "you guys are familiar with" i had never be familiar with it lol as a new game there's might be people that doesnt knoe anything about genshin and ther hoyoverse games i suggest you to however spend couple seconds more for explain to new people that are not familiar with for the rest great video it help me alot
this is a great point! I apologize because sometimes I’m afraid the video will be too long or feel like I’m rambling but I’ll try to be better on this!
Thanks for that, I stopped playing ZZZ because it was starting to feel too much like Genshin, and I didn't want to play two gacha that were too similar to each other at the same time. And yup, from the looks of it they are about 80% similar.
Grace honestly just sucks as a dps... Nekomata, Piper and Nicole team and Ellen+2, Sokaku+6 and Corin+3 team get around the same times for me. Give or take a couple seconds either way depending on how often nekomata's 33% kicks in. Even with the level gap they come through with the S ranks albeit cutting it extremely close
because Grace is not a traditional dps, think of her as Kafka from HSR, she does reaction damage like sucrose does in genshin, a lot of reaction damage and bypass daze because she fills it fast
@@theguest103 That's not exactly true, Nekomata and Soldier 11 aren't limited and Piper, Anton and Corin also do comparable dps to those 2. Grace just isn't supposed to be a main dps, her base attack is relatively low.
wait so let me get this... at level 40 you basically get an artifact like feature where you can get specific stats? that's it!? FUCK THIS!! it is still the same shit! at that point i rather just play monster hunter
Artifacts never was a problem in Hoyo games, it’s the people, all this dudes who think you must have perfect crit rolls arts to make characters playable, while in reality you just slap mid gear and clear content.
@@GerriFuryman You can clear Abyss full stars w/ mid gear using non meta units? What do you mean by clear content? If it's just story then no sht. Besides the relic system is ass regardless because it's purely luck based w/ no guarantees or ways to get actually something good other than grinding domains until you get lucky. The system is legit worse than MMOs and other gacha games I've played.
@@QDRG64 I’m cleaning abyss for max reward last 3 years without any problems and without signature weapons and without dupes. Hoyo games are easy if you have at least basic understanding of the game
I really like the combat sistem of ZZZ BUT the INVENTORY IS JUST HELL XD, you have to memorize sooo many things... The game COVERLY tricks you to forget what material you need to level up something AND SOMEHOW ENCOURAGES YOU TO SPEND MONEY to avoid that memory problem. I LIKE the game somehow, although it feels very empty and nonsense... I hope they could fix many but many things they did at launch... However i think the know more than well what are they doing so as a semi f2p player I fell like i will play this game only sometimes and maybe unistall if i need space in my pc XD regards bros.
Actually, I kind of like not having to sort a thousand things in my inventory. This game isn't perfect, but it does not do what you just described. It does not 'covertly trick' anyone into anything. A competent player can easily sort out the information presented by the game without mistake, and it's easy to find again. Anytime you need to switch between dialogue-windows to double-check something, it is effortless. Most complaints about this game are handled by the skip (spacebar) button. I installed Zenless two days before launch for pre-download, and since release, I have yet to have an unexpected game-crash or error of any kind. I'm very impressed that I didn't see any technical failures during launch at all, while having the client opened, possibly for more than over 10 hours a day. The Zenless devs should be proud of themselves, that's quite an accomplishment. I come from playing Helldivers 2 for the last few months, and the difference in game-stability is incomparable between HD2 to Zenless. Zenless has absolutely outstanding stability and integrity. For HD2, it's not a matter of "if" it will crash, but "when" and in which manner. Zenless Zone Zero does not crash for me, nor do I expect it to crash. I think we need to appreciate this in itself! Great work Z3 devs!

The 4 that are probably best useable for the 4 characters and team rotations where I'm at with Inter-Knot 21. Knowing not to upgrade gear to much is fantastic too know until 40 cause I can just focus on the minimal i have plus the added Soukaku when I get to chapter 2. So I'll have 5 of 6 characters and then go back through hard. Thank you for the insightful video.
I am only a casual person and casual viewer so I may not watch constantly, but I'll definitely look forward to more information as the game progresses and try to be a better viewer as I progress my journey with zzz behind you/beside you as I catch up lol
I think Lucy is an S rank disguised as an A. I dont have Rina yet but if I don't get her free, I'll pick her for my 300
the problem with current shiyu defense is.... ether element...
Sir, if your character stops the boss's movement by using normal attacks, don't say it's hard
Grace is not a DPS, you need Anton for the heavy lifting (pun intended)
not if u use another anomaly character and go full DISORDER BLOOOOOOM
@@rondellmeetei6620 But there is only one other one right now
13:12, if you click the exlamation icon near the denny cost it can show you all the materials each lvl, and the special material is only for lvl 12, but i dont know how to aquire it tho.
Convenient store is a straight up scam, rn some of you may feel like you'll never need dennies, but believe me when I say that every zzz player will at least be short on dennies once in their playtime, and it won't feel good, also if you do the maths, you'll see that these materials are not cost efficient at all
You're right. There are stepping stones for dennies. We will all get there soon enough. You'll find a 100k denny upgrade, then 200k, etc. Save 'em up and don't waste 'em. Play the long game and collect as much as you can.
even the c rank items?
@@docedeleite16 yea even the c one, however if you're out of stamina and need one or two material for a decisive upgrade then I can see them being useful
If Genshin's Gold talent books experience is any indicator, we can likely expect zero to abysmal drop for top-tier materials. The total waste of time farming experience at top adventure rank is likely going to happen all over again when we look at GI setting the precedence, and HSR is also following that formula. ZZZ won't be an exception.
DO NOT BUY FROM THE CONVENIENCE STORE
Even setting aside that you WILL need those dennies later, converting the costs to energy shows that it is absolutely not worth it. You are spending anywhere from 2x to 5x the actual energy cost to farm the items when you buy them from that shop.
I do what I want
Both in Genshin and HSR you will seat on millions of mora/credits. In Genshin I never farm mora or was in situation where I need mora, in 4 years never once. In HSR I was because I lvlup every characters to max I did get to the point that I was short on credits. In wuwa on the other hand even with Free apology gifts I get short on money after 2 weeks of playing, it takes 2 times more money in wuwa, because you must waste money on echo reroll, you simply can’t decide good echo or bad before lvlup…
Yeah but dennies are free and charge is time gated/money gated so the comparison is bad. I can spend dennies for mats or recharge my energy to farm mats and one of those is a smarter choice
Every boopon is a limited currency, get it or you risk slowing your bangboo progression.
boss only hitting more dmg and have more hp is kinda of a let down, why not slap in some new attack string like the tactical hologram on wuwa
ive done 3 100 energy runs to get the promotional material to get my agents to 50. i need 10 and only got 1 in those 3 runs. feels awful. am i just supposed to buy polys so i can spam more energy? i just wanna grind my character progression. even with low rates i dont mind, but like. come on man.
i really enjoyed grinding my characters but these zero rates are ass. like id rather just play something else then....
So, one thing the game has is a huge underlying story of taking care of yourself and not doing too much in one day. The mechanics force you to sleep and eat and take personal time. Compared to other HoYo games, it's got characters that genuinely care and are good people. Unlike HSR where everyone is guilty of Crimes against humanity.
If you play genshin and hsr you'll see that's nothing wrong with the upgrade material drop as genshin and star rail also do the same imo...for example talent in genshin and traces in star rail...1 run basically will give you nothing at minimum and its the same with zzz tho...that includes the level mats
1:41 you’re guaranteed 4 or so by crafting
At end game will you find yourself running out of resources like in genshin impact..As a free to play.
I have a question about combat simulations. Do you add all 5 enemies or the amount you want?
It depends, but usually I math it out
did every single thing there is to do on the game and im still level 35 crazy how paying for stam can get you this far
Any tips? I'm stuck at 32 granted i haven't done the police girl and nekomata's story quest aside from that i don't know where to get exp from lol
@@zarathustra_1You just answered your own question. Why are you not doing those they give decent xp along with first clears of hollow zero
I have a task to reach interknot lvl 34 but I've done tasks (Video archive, the police mission, daily missions, exploration, commissions, and combat) any other quests I'm missing?
@@Szalgebach time gated low-key, dailies give loads of exp as long as ur stamina
@@zarathustra_1 i did everything like every mission possible in all the zones and thats it i also got the daily on launch before 5 am
Lv35 right now, enjoyed the game. The only thing I hate is the TV thing. It's fine in the main story, but other than that, it feels like a chore.
it does feel like it takes away sometimes especially if your focus is combat, but i will be honest and admit that i really liked the turret-defense plants vs zombie mode!
I always take this chance to relax from smashing buttons. Consider it as your resting time while still playing the game 😂
I’m level 40 but I don’t see any story mode missions am I missing something??
This is looking tough for the end game sheesh
What's the 40-50 total XP requirement for the W-engines?
why are u using the electric bangboo with ellen team in the beginning?
Yeah using the Shark Bangboo is more better because that Bangboo is ice
I FORGOT TO SWAP SORRY!! (i love my shark boo with ice)
I use butler because he's super drippy
We have absolutely seen the chance to recieve 0 of the highest tier mats in both Genshin and Star Rail. Thats standard. Its basically the exact same drop rates in ZZZ. You really need to check this stuff before yapping, my guy.
wait... are we only Leveling up 2 agents?
Nice video
such an L mihoyo(yet again) 0-5 is such bull xD i 100% agree with you and ye maybe this is fixed once u hit lvl 50(and even then best case scenario is gonna be 2-6 or something) but REALISTICLY at this stage of the game u happy u hitting 40.
50 is gonna be a loooooong ass time even if they like add new story in 1.1 especially considering that zzz is like hsr where u cant really "add" content to each area maybe a few chests here and there and a few side quests but thats it.
Big L
lol me grinding soul rock for Ben
Lol I rolled for Soul Rock on my Level 30 Ben. Oops.
Ice element is head and shoulders above all other elements. Other elements are either DOT or one massive damage. Ice is crit-oriented and still has massive damage at the end. Ice will always be meta. And i fucking hate it
Electric team is just as good, Fire teams are good, too. People are just too dumb to build decent teams. In this video example, he uses grace as DPS although she is an anomaly unit that needs Anton as a carry.
A question can you use the bluie master copy for later disk drive or was saving them an missinformationand you can use them now?
Master copy is not convertible nor in any other way, they are there for you to get disk. Use them now
How tf he level 40 alr
Love the content
THANK U LEGENDARY!!!
how is bro already at level 40
Spending money. you can use in game currency to get 60 energy.
50 sec no comment lemme change it
MY GOAT
everytime you say "you guys are familiar with" i had never be familiar with it lol
as a new game there's might be people that doesnt knoe anything about genshin and ther hoyoverse games
i suggest you to however spend couple seconds more for explain to new people that are not familiar with
for the rest great video it help me alot
this is a great point! I apologize because sometimes I’m afraid the video will be too long or feel like I’m rambling but I’ll try to be better on this!
@@cannaaaa i appreciate it, keep it up
Bosses hitting harder and having more HP doesn't seem nice. Players wanted difficult content, but in a way where enemies are more interactive.
He literally said they arr more jntera time.
This is not stupid WuWa where health poor is the knly difference.
Content creator spends the whole video proving that gacha whales can't do math
Thanks for that, I stopped playing ZZZ because it was starting to feel too much like Genshin, and I didn't want to play two gacha that were too similar to each other at the same time. And yup, from the looks of it they are about 80% similar.
So you never actually played ZZZ?
@@iflgames3245 Played it for two days and then stopped.
Is it me or this game is even stingier than genshin?
@@dr.strange1300 maybe, or maybe will be wuwa 2.0 where the scaling is shit
@@dr.strange1300 in general i think, but drop scaling is the most glaring issue right now
Nothing is stingier than Genshin.
@@Hiro.the.God. zzz is getting uncomfortably close, but that might get better with events and shit, i don't know
Me looking at HI3rd craftable Stigmas requirements nervously
Grace honestly just sucks as a dps... Nekomata, Piper and Nicole team and Ellen+2, Sokaku+6 and Corin+3 team get around the same times for me. Give or take a couple seconds either way depending on how often nekomata's 33% kicks in. Even with the level gap they come through with the S ranks albeit cutting it extremely close
Play grace with Anton, should improve. Obviously best case is if U also have rina
no duh, limited dps units are better than standard.
because Grace is not a traditional dps, think of her as Kafka from HSR, she does reaction damage like sucrose does in genshin, a lot of reaction damage and bypass daze because she fills it fast
@@theguest103 That's not exactly true, Nekomata and Soldier 11 aren't limited and Piper, Anton and Corin also do comparable dps to those 2. Grace just isn't supposed to be a main dps, her base attack is relatively low.
wait so let me get this... at level 40 you basically get an artifact like feature where you can get specific stats? that's it!? FUCK THIS!! it is still the same shit! at that point i rather just play monster hunter
It's a Hoyoverse game, tf did you expect?
@@LorisTheUntetheredI dunno tbh people keep saying it gets better once you get to a certain level, but like I didn't see it
Artifacts never was a problem in Hoyo games, it’s the people, all this dudes who think you must have perfect crit rolls arts to make characters playable, while in reality you just slap mid gear and clear content.
@@GerriFuryman You can clear Abyss full stars w/ mid gear using non meta units? What do you mean by clear content? If it's just story then no sht. Besides the relic system is ass regardless because it's purely luck based w/ no guarantees or ways to get actually something good other than grinding domains until you get lucky. The system is legit worse than MMOs and other gacha games I've played.
@@QDRG64 I’m cleaning abyss for max reward last 3 years without any problems and without signature weapons and without dupes. Hoyo games are easy if you have at least basic understanding of the game
I really like the combat sistem of ZZZ BUT the INVENTORY IS JUST HELL XD, you have to memorize sooo many things... The game COVERLY tricks you to forget what material you need to level up something AND SOMEHOW ENCOURAGES YOU TO SPEND MONEY to avoid that memory problem. I LIKE the game somehow, although it feels very empty and nonsense... I hope they could fix many but many things they did at launch... However i think the know more than well what are they doing so as a semi f2p player I fell like i will play this game only sometimes and maybe unistall if i need space in my pc XD regards bros.
Actually, I kind of like not having to sort a thousand things in my inventory. This game isn't perfect, but it does not do what you just described. It does not 'covertly trick' anyone into anything. A competent player can easily sort out the information presented by the game without mistake, and it's easy to find again. Anytime you need to switch between dialogue-windows to double-check something, it is effortless.
Most complaints about this game are handled by the skip (spacebar) button.
I installed Zenless two days before launch for pre-download, and since release, I have yet to have an unexpected game-crash or error of any kind. I'm very impressed that I didn't see any technical failures during launch at all, while having the client opened, possibly for more than over 10 hours a day. The Zenless devs should be proud of themselves, that's quite an accomplishment.
I come from playing Helldivers 2 for the last few months, and the difference in game-stability is incomparable between HD2 to Zenless.
Zenless has absolutely outstanding stability and integrity.
For HD2, it's not a matter of "if" it will crash, but "when" and in which manner.
Zenless Zone Zero does not crash for me, nor do I expect it to crash. I think we need to appreciate this in itself!
Great work Z3 devs!
1:17 just craft them lol
How the heck are you people at lvl 40??
