Tons of rewards are available for those who master Hollow Zero and earn upgrades through multiple victories in this mode.

You will also have three free Agent characters in Zenless Zone Zero on your roster by this point, giving you someone to use for the rogue-like experience.

How Does Hollow Zero Mode Work?

Explore Stages And Complete Combat Challenges

The computers in the Scott Outpost Interior host Hollow Zero mode, inside a tent near the entrance to the location. This mode is separated into zones with multiple stages of various difficulties that you can explore. Every area you investigate is either filled with enemies to defeat in combat or puzzles involving monitor screens that you'll have to solve to move forward to unlock other zones.

Completing the exploration of stages and zones in Hollow Zero will earn you Investigation Points to upgrade an Investigation License . Rewards are given for https://Www.Zzz-Verse.com each of the 60 Levels you can earn for your License, consisting of basic currency to important items for your Agents. Farming items from Hollow Zero can be a great way to collect money to spend at the Bardic Needle in Zenless Zone Zero for items to strengthen your characters.

The first zone available in Hollow Zone is the Quality Assessment, which you have to beat first before you can unlock other areas and stages. Don't worry about the build of an Agent character in Zenless Zone Zero chosen to start this zone, as you begin without any resources in this rogue-like mode. You only start with one team member at the start, so make sure it's someone whose core abilities you can use confidently.

Best Strategies To Clear Hollow Zone Stages

Collect Strong Resonia And Unlock Combat Configuration Nodes

When you are using one character, you have to find events on the Hollow Zero board to recruit allies to your team. Going to events will also allow you to collect Resonia, which are card buffs applied to every member of your party while exploring a zone's various stages. For example, the "Doombringer" Resonia gives your team increased Critical Damage, making it easier to take down enemies.

Resonia of the same type can be combined to become more powerful, but you can also adjust your Combat Configuration to gain additional power. Withered Crystals gathered from zone exploration can be spent on unlocking nodes within your Configuration board to gain basic buffs, such as damage boosts. Revealing every small node around a larger node will unlock a much larger bonus for your team to use.

Zones usually have 2–5 stages in total, with a variety of enemies and puzzles different from one another. You need to have party members in dedicated roles to outlast the enemies in particularly big stages, especially as you get closer and closer to a region's boss. As you can see in the above video by YouTube creator Azrial Vanity , understanding a character's position on your team makes it easier to select Resonia buffs later.

Other Hollow Zero Mode Features & Mechanics

Use Bounties And Support To Maximize Rewards

Similar to Dailies in Zenless Zone Zero , Hollow Zero mode has limited-time objectives called Bounty Commissions you can complete during a run. Accomplishing these tasks will earn you extra rewards apart from the Investigation License, allowing you to maximize your time spent in the rogue-like mission structure. Keep in mind that Bounties refresh weekly to give you more opportunities to farm some items.

However, taking too many steps on a zone board can be risky due to the Corruption system within Hollow Zero mode. Every step on a zone board generates 10 Pressure, which builds into Corruption once it reaches 100. Corruption effects vary, from increasing the number of enemies you face to imposing negative status debuffs on your party, such as an overall loss of HP.

Corruption can be removed by reaching the Observation Stations at the end of floors or by completing various events located within a stage. An easier way to fight off Corruption is to recruit Support Bangboos to help out your team from time to time. While these creatures can't use their normal Chain Attacks or Skills from main missions, they still provide enough aid to overcome Corruption downsides.

You can also build a character's Trust to gain Affinity Resonia for even more buffs to your team. Simply using certain characters often in battle and winning will help build their Trust over time along the course of a run. Don't forget to hang out with certain Agents or message them personally to also gain their Trust rapidly as you navigate the strategies of Hollow Zero mode in **Zenless Zone Zero ** .
