Transcripts
my Ellen can do around 30,000 damage
with her ultimate which this early into
the game I think is pretty darn good I
want to break down all the ways that you
can boost up your damage there's some
passive abilities on your characters
that you might not know about and I want
to discuss things like your W engine
because five-star W engines are a
massive upgrade especially someone like
Ellen's signature it's not even close
that being said I think that you don't
need to minmax that much in this game to
succe
and just leveling up your characters
getting up your skills will carry you
through 99% of content but if you want
to hit a little bit harder let's have a
chat about it hey everyone Mt here and I
want to talk about how to do 10 times
more damage in Zena Zone zero some of it
is obvious some of it is well it's all
kind of obvious if you read but there's
a few things that you might be missing
on your characters that is heavily
reducing your damage let's get started
with the basics basic number one you
need to level your character and you
need to ascend your character duh you
have to that's how it works however
there are passives that are unlocked
while ascending your character that you
do also have to activate to get the
value and in the early game it is a lot
of value let me show you
I've ascended my character Ellen Joe is
leveled up she's level 40 however this
thing here my first glance at it was
these are constellations these are not
constellations these are passives that
you need to click on and you need to
unlock it and I guarantee someone
watching this video didn't know that
these things over here are their
constellations this is their Cinemas
okay these are dupes but these are
passives I guarantee someone didn't
realize that so when you click on that
button you can upgrade it and it's going
to get stronger over time and it's going
to require more materials over time but
these are Big boosts to the characters
so make sure that you're doing this
right away I need to still level up and
Ascend to get some of the other ones but
the first couple or the first three are
pretty accessible make sure you're doing
that the same thing goes with skills you
obviously want to be leveling up skills
but there's a few things that I want to
discuss here certain characters are
going to benefit more from certain skill
upgrades okay normal attack or the basic
attack is obviously going to be the best
on someone who's doing a lot of them
someone like Ellen Joe who I am
repeatedly doing normal attacks it's
important to do this everyone with quick
assists should probably be building up
your quick assists because it's free
damage that it's going to happen all the
time and your skill is something you
should probably level up on almost
everyone because it's getting used all
the time but the one thing that is
probably slept on is the ultimate
everyone uh has already come to the
realization that your ultimate is a
onetime deal on one character but
leveling your ultimate also levels your
chain attack and so if you sleep on this
and you don't do it you're going to be
missing out on like hundreds and
hundreds and hundreds of D damage scal
that won't be here because you you
didn't level it and so even though my
Reena I never use her ultimate I always
use it on Len Joe I've made sure to
level this thing I've you know made sure
to Max this out so that I can get this
scaling on this chain attack which she's
doing all the time it's one of the main
ways that Ellen is impacting the
battlefield so you have to level up her
ultimate because you're leveling up her
chain attack and I know anyone can read
that and figure it out but it is
important to do it's really easy to get
lost in the sauce
so make sure that you're leveling up the
right skills and and and working towards
the guaranteed upgrades in the next
couple of days I still need to work and
unlock this because I'm getting some
more pen ratio I'm getting some more
scaling I want to unlock these
guaranteed things for my
character now the next thing is going to
be in the
skills most of you I guarantee are
throwing what I mean by that is uh uh
the multipliers on a lot of these
abilities get so crazy the further into
a combo you go it's almost shocking it's
almost too much in my opinion so our our
one hit multiplier 75% our next one 171
our third hit is
[Music]
450% it is so much higher it is shocking
and so if you are doing normal attacks
and canceling anim
or short stopping and not finishing it
your damage is going to absolutely
plummet but the same thing goes with
your skills using your skill has a
damage modifier of
78% using your skill when you have
enough energy is 500 almost 600% we're
closing in on 10 times more damage
waiting until you have more energy to do
the Boost one on someone like Ellen is
85% over 10 times we're talking like 12
times more damage so if you just use it
whenever you want your damage is dog
trash you can do it in game and you'll
be like I'm hitting a couple hundred
damage and then you use this boosted
ability and it's like 4,000 damage it's
crazy Brothers uh so your skill and
using it when you actually have energy
is super super important uh you can't
see it it's this button over here I'll
move my head really quickly this button
here your skill the energy button okay
so if you don't play these characters
properly you're going to really fall
apart but I want to double down on that
about playing them properly because with
someone like Ellen Joe if you don't
understand how to stack up you know ice
shards on her she's going to function at
a fraction of what she could be if you
don't know that using uh you know a
fully empowered special attack gives you
more ice charges these different things
again you're going to have a fraction of
the damage possible and I want to give
you a really good example because this
is one that I missed I didn't really pay
attention to Ambi I know that a bunch of
people are probably using Ambi and
you're not doing her normal attack combo
well what is her normal attack combo you
attack three times and then you hold it
to do a Charged Thunderbolt attack and
the scaling on this Thunderbolt attack
is far far greater you're missing out on
hundreds of percentage um of damage
modifier you're missing out on an
electric hit that is going to boost up
the shock on the enemies all these
different things so you really need to
actually consider uh the kits of these
characters you can play the game and
smash buttons and you can beat 95% of
the content I'm not going to lie you can
still beat most of it but if you play
them to the utmost of their
potential you will Slaughter content
that is higher level than you even you
will push through the Shou defense or
whatever it's called The Hollow the zero
stuff you will be way way stronger like
that now the next big thing is the the
disc drives and the W
engines so through some of the quests
and through um some of the uh yeah it's
just some of the missions and and things
you will get access to enough to get
your account up and running all of the
things that I've gotten here for the
most part are from quests and I went to
the disc shop to like roll on a few of
them but I got my account up and running
really really quickly now some of that
is luck I got an ice damage bonus piece
it rolled into crit damage got some
attack and attack this is a pretty good
piece I won't replace for a long time so
sometimes you got to get lucky I get
that but just getting these disc drives
and equipping some of these um these
passives is a huge boost your damage on
top of this much like inchin impact or
HSR disc drive 2 is an attack damage
disc always if you can get this thing
leveled up you will essentially double
your damage instantly because without
this your base attack is low and
everything is scaling off of this so if
you're getting a 800 100% damage
modifier on your skills this is a ton of
damage we're talking a, damage 1,600
damage hit just from equipping this and
leveling it up any of the passives are
gravy on top so I would recommend when
you start getting some purples
especially if they have some good
substats just grab it and level it up on
a couple different characters and it's
going to be a game changer for you and
your overall DPS and in the early game
like you can get this when your weapons
are like level 20 level 30 if you look
at my weapons right now this weapon is
412 base attack right so that's that's
like half a weapon that you're missing
out on if you don't do it so make sure
you do that as soon as possible if you
get good substats that's great and you
can consider leveling up a couple of the
disc drives and just seeing if you roll
on crit rate if you if you if you want
to do it it's relatively cheap you can
take it up I don't want to use too many
materials but if you really want to I
have 2% more attack now than I did you
can do that with some of them I would
recommend doing purples that have three
stats at the very start and rolling on
the fourth stat and if it's a really
good piece that has like ice damage or
fire damage whatever your character is
you can consider taking it further but
for right now I would say disc drive two
which is flat attack disc drive five or
whatever this one is uh disc drive five
which is Elemental attack and disc drive
six which can be crit rate or crit
damage Dage are going to be your
priorities dis Drive 4 can be HP attack
percentage those things are cool to add
in after but I would say that two four
or two five and six are going to be the
biggest bang for your buck in the early
game um I'm not leveling it up much
further I know that I'll replace this
eventually and right now I'm still
slaughtering all the content I don't
want to invest a bunch of resources uh
into this right now but it could be a
very big boost to you in the early game
now the other thing to consider is is
especially as you get further in and you
start fighting bosses things like stun
okay let me just move over so you can
see that here things like stun really do
matter because the faster you stun them
the faster you get bonus damage and the
faster you can get your attacking units
on field and functioning and so in most
team comps that are running an attack
unit you probably want a stunning unit
or else the amount of times that the the
the enemy is stunned is going to be a
fraction
on top of this the more you stun them
the more you activate chain attacks that
have crazy multipliers on them that have
you know 800 and,
1400% damage multipliers on them the
more often that that happens and so even
if Ani is a DPS loss she's enabling you
to get to the point where you're going
to do 2,000%
damage so stunning units I think are
exceptionally valuable they're
exceptionally good when you're using an
attack unit and you're going to need to
focus on building crit rate and crit
damage and getting all your damage up on
this attack unit and swapping to them
when that enemy is stunned once you've
done all your chain attacks yada yada
y however the caveat to that is there is
the option that I don't think is super
prevalent right now but there is the
option of doing um more like anomaly
uh type stuff and I think that we don't
have the best gear to make it work just
yet but this is going to be kind of like
nihility in
HSR rapidly applying the different
anomalies and getting all the different
um you know there's there's Flinch and
assault and and freeze and shatter and
all these different things this will hit
and burst down because if you look at
this kind of like Elemental mastery in
gench and impact it's very easy to look
at these things and ignore them early on
cuz it's not super obvious what they're
doing but by getting more anomaly
Mastery you're going to boost up how
quickly you do anomalies so over the
course of a boss or or or something like
that you might get one activation of
shock or freeze or maybe two activations
of shocker freeze but if you start
stacking anomaly Mastery this can happen
over and over and over again in the
fight we're talking like 5 10 10 times
in a fight and every time that that
procs and you're getting some damage you
can also use your proficiency and boost
that damage as well right and so there's
going to be entire anomaly
teams that will do 10 times more damage
than what you're doing right now but
building into them is not easy to do
right now unless you've got other
anomaly units I think Grace is an
anomaly unit like there's going to be
teams but again with anomaly teams and
building it up you probably want you
know elements that are going to work
together elements that are going to
complement each other in some way or
similar factions and I don't think we
have enough of those options just yet so
that's where I'm at with that it is
going to be a definite viable option
down the road but I think I I think
there's just not enough great teams for
that I think overall there aren't enough
team options other than ice right now it
will change or if you've got a bunch of
other five stars but I just wanted to at
least say that attack crit damage using
a stunner and attack I think that that
is currently the The Meta but anomaly
will be there one day kind of like uh
honestly probably like hyper Bloom is in
genin you know Elemental Mastery wasn't
that important thing and then down the
road some characters changed some some
reactions Chang and now hyper Bloom is
this crazy thing so that's how I view it
overall another thing we need to
consider is the stats you're actually
going to be building on these units and
why you care about them so with someone
that's a DPS obviously attack is going
to be good if they scale with it there
might be HP scalers or defense scalers
down the road but you're going to want
to build their main stat you're going to
want crit rate you're going to want crit
damage but another thing you can
consider is something like pen ratio
because it's going to allow you to break
through some of those defenses all right
so that's going to be a priority for an
attack in type unit someone that is a
stunning unit needs impact because
impact allows you to get into the stun
and start the chain attacks sooner so
for me I don't care if I get any crit
rate or anything like that with Ambi all
I want to funnel in is impact and things
like energy regen or something like that
can also be a good option as a secondary
stat but I do not want crit rate or I
don't care about crit rate as much you
could also consider on something like
your stunning unit as long as they can
do a lot of an element is you could
consider something like Elemental or
anomaly Mastery to help get that buildup
going it's not the worst option ever you
could definitely do something like that
but for me I'm going all in on impact
and
energy however on someone that is an
anomaly type unit that is applying those
debuffs you want anomaly proficiency and
Mastery so you apply them faster and
they hit harder when you do it it's
pretty straightforward again if they're
anomaly anomaly if they're stun impact
if they're an
attacker DPS stuff like attack crit crit
damage if you're a defense unit no one
uses defense units get out of my face
another thing to consider even though
it's kind of annoying to go in is the
food bonuses it'll work for three
different combats and so if you're going
to fight the big bosses for the week go
get the food Buffs and sometimes you get
lucky and it'll actually give you bonus
stats on top of it sometimes it's like
crit rate and stuff uh so this is a
really good way to boost your damage
because getting any Elemental damage for
your main DPS is Big any the other stuff
cool it's a little bit annoying going
over to the Noodle guy I get it but this
is good if you're struggling with
content go do it so another thing you
need to consider is obviously team
Synergy because if you don't use teams
that synergize well you're going to miss
out on tons of value so a very quick
example of this is Ellen is going to get
30% ice damage during the fight she gets
multiple Stacks this just doesn't exist
if you're not using a team that
synergizes well and is of the same
element or the same faction the easiest
way to secure that is to just use
another unit uh of of the same uh
element just by using her and having two
ice units I'm now getting um Ellen Joe's
to proc and I'm getting this one to proc
okay the issue is is there a way for you
to
get all of
them because anyone who is missing a
passive is losing a lot of value now you
can make up for this with someone
providing you good Buffs an example is
if I don't care about this extra
energy and I'm I'm okay with Ambi not
functioning fully I could still use her
and accept that sakaku is going to
provide me some attack and be a better
more valuable support there's sometimes
give and take is going to have to happen
but some of these passives are so good
that missing out on them is killing your
damage on top of this the same thing
goes with bung Boos if you're using a
bung boo that doesn't synergize with
your team really well it does matter
especially when you start getting into
the five star ones missing out on some
of the passes and the value here is like
crazy because they are more impactful
than you might think so I would highly
recommend that you try to get these
passes going you get a bung boo that's
working with your team and again it
doesn't always have to be like ice ice
ice there are teams that are all ice but
there are faction teams that work and in
the case of this team this team because
two different things are happening I've
got Maids so this is proing and I'm
getting both of their passives and
they're both electric and B and reeno
are both elect El all of them are
satisfied so there's going to be
situations where you can just go mono
element mono faction split faction as
long as you can do those things uh
you're going to be up and running and
you're going to be feeling really good
about it as for the bang
Boos this is going to be situational on
who your favorite characters are but the
bang Boos do matter this Butler one
works and procs because I've got the
different maids and gives me a ton of
energy in the team it is very very nice
uh starting the fight and with these
passives again you have to satisfy this
requirement so if I don't have two Maids
the butler falls off and is a fraction
of his valuable and I might as well use
some of these other ones to just get
some extra damage or whatever it be it
might be the same thing goes with this
the ice one really good but if I don't
have two or more ice characters then I'm
just not going to apply um the freeze
anomaly as much and I'm not going to
shatter it off as much and so I know
that it's obvious but
little things like this that you might
be missing or if you're saying I just
want to use the cutest
characters you have to be okay losing
30% ice damage 20% energy gain all these
different things you are drastically
neutering your teams so as long as
everyone is built as long as you have a
dou w engine that's leveled up as long
as you have um your you know your your
disc drives or whatever you want to call
them those CDs up and running you're
chilling you're good to go the synergies
the bung Boos that takes you to the next
level and if you do all these things
together you're going to go from doing a
couple hundred damage to 4,000 6,000
8,000 damage on some of these characters
really really quickly okay so that's it
for me thanks for watching I'm excited
for you to stomp on the game and and
beat everything and uh I'll see you soon
bye-bye
