Youonly start with one team memberat 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 tofind events on the Hollow Zero board to recruit alliesto 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.
Try tochoose a character with high DPSat the start of a zone’s exploration to deal with enemies easily at first. Since zones end with a powerful boss, this will help even the odds against those foes as well.
Resonia of the same type can be combined to become more powerful, but you can alsoadjust your Combat Configurationto 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. Youneed to have party members in dedicated rolesto 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 creatorAzrial 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 toDailies inZenless Zone Zero, Hollow Zero mode has limited-time objectives called Bounty Commissions you may 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 thatBounties refresh weeklyto 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 torecruit Support Bangboosto 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.
