Best Team Builds

Recommended Team Composition Example
▼ Shock Team	▼ Corin DPS
▼ Cunning Hares Starter

Shock Specialized Electric Team

Attack	Anomaly	Stun
Anton	Grace	Anby

Use Anton after Enemy is Stunned

Anton stops moving during Burst Mode attacks, but he can deal high damage when the enemy is stunned. The basic strategy is to Stun the enemy then attack the enemy with Anton in Burst Mode to deal as much damage as possible.

Corin DPS Team

Attack	Stun	Support
Corin	Anby	Rina

A Dual-Attribute Team with DPS Corin

A basic dual-attribute composition with Corin as the main DPS. You can activate everyone's Additional Abilities, and with Rina's Shock enhancement, you can deal damage with Anby and Shock attacks even when the enemy is not stunned.

Cunning Hares Starter

Attack	Stun	Support
Billy	Anby	Nicole

Team that Can Be Used from Early Game

A Cunning Hares composition that only uses the 3 characters you can obtain early in the game. Although they all have different Attributes and the Anomaly buildup is not that high, it is a great team to start off with for learning the basic strategy of Stunning the enemy → Switch to Support character with Quick Assist → then dealing damage with the Attack character.

Tips!	Billy is capable of long-range attacks, but his base stats are more suited for close combat because long-range shots lose power over distance.

Alternate Characters

Character	Details
Nekomata	- Replace with Billy - High firepower after entering battle with Quick Assist - Excellent compatibility with Nicole's short Buff + Quick Assist change
Rina	- Replace with Nicole - Additional Ability is also activated with Anby.

Choose Shock Resonium for Electric Team

Before fighting Unknown Corruption Complex, you can select Shock, Duel, or Support Resonium from the Resonia Collection. For an Electric team with characters such as Grace, Rina, and Anton, choose the Shock Resonium to increase Electric DMG.

Support Resonium for Other Attributes

If there are no Electric Attribute attackers available, use other characters that you've been enhancing. If you’re not using an Electric team, the Support Resonium is recommended, as it enhances the Anomaly Buildup for all allies during Perfect Assists.

Assign One Long-Ranged Attack Character

Most of the Unknown Corruption Complex's attacks cannot be parried, with the exception of some such as stomping and arm swings. If you have a long-range attack character such as Rina or Grace you can activate Perfect Assists (Evasive Assist), so it is recommended to have at least one long-range character.

How to do Perfect Assists

Impair the Legs

Zenless Zone Zero Aim for Impaired Image

Unknown Corruption Complex can be Impaired by attacking each of its five legs. When Impaired, additional damage is dealt in addition to the attack, so if you prioritize attacking the legs, you can efficiently reduce HP.

The Impaired Part Also Regenerates When Transitioning to Second Form

The impaired parts will regenerate upon transitioning to its second form and can be destroyed again. Therefore, there is no problem in actively aiming for Impaired from the first form.

Attack the Main Body During Stun

When Unknown Corruption Complex is stunned, you can attack the main body which cannot be damaged otherwise. The main body can also be Impaired, so use your Attack character to focus your attacks while it is Stunned so you can impair it again.

Laser Attacks from the Second Phase

When it shifts to its second form, its attack pattern changes and it shoots laser attacks from its tail. The laser causes the ground to explode after being fired, so make sure to dodge it by circling around the boss instead of staying in one place.

Avoid Missiles with Specific Characters

Unidentified Composite Corrupted missiles can be avoided by dashing with specific characters, just like the bullets of human type enemies. The explosion range is wide and if you're close to the boss there’s a high chance that all the bullets will hit you. Therefore, keep an eye on the boss and get away from it if you see it trying to shoot its missiles.
