The first episode of Expert Challenge: Behind the Combat Design of Zenless Zone Zero just released, and the dev team shares secrets behind Yuzuha and Alice's combat designs!
HoYoverse just dropped a new behind-the-scenes video that delves into the combat design of Zenless Zone Zero's upcoming Agents, Ukinami Yuzuha and Alice, both coming in Version 2.1!
The dev team offered a rare peek into how each character was carefully crafted, from gameplay mechanics to visuals.
You can take a look at the video here:
Yuzuha: The Candy-Cracking Anomaly Support
Originally designed to stab enemies with blades from her umbrella (a mechanic called "scar"), Yuzuha's concept was completely reworked after the visuals did not land. The solution? Candy explosions.
Now, her combat effects explode into cookies, biscuits, and sweets, each themed by attribute. Beyond her sugary charm, she is the first general support for Anomaly teams, letting players choose which Agent's Anomaly Buildup Rate to boost, which is a first for the game. And she even features double Assist Follow-Up attacks, a technical leap for the dev team.
Alice: The Noble Rapier with Symmetry Obsession
Alice, the Physical Anomaly Agent from the Spook Shack faction, brings elegant, rhythmic swordplay, blending dash attacks, charged moves, and perfect symmetry in her animations.
From her perfectly centered Ultimate camera angles to sword toss illusions, Alice is all about stylish flow. The team also added kaleidoscopic visual effects and subtle rabbit-like gestures, like back-kicking on a Dodge Counter, for maximum character expression.
What Is Next?
The devs also teased:
A future massive-sword Agent, whose weapon is 3x taller than the user A new martial arts DPS with "anger-triggered" combat mechanics Both Alice and Yuzuha arrive in Zenless Zone Zero 2.1, with Yuzuha dropping during Phase 1, so get ready to head in and experience some of the most polished combat design yet!

Zenless Zone Zero just dropped a preview for their upcoming paid summer skins, but are they worth the cost? Learn how to get all of the new summer skins in Version 2.1!
If you're a fan of dressing up your favourite characters, why not pick up the latest summer skins releasing in Version 2.1? "The Impending Crash of Waves" version update in Zenless Zone Zero will feature not just two, but FOUR new summer skins to enjoy!
Both Wise and Belle are getting their own seasonal outfits, but did you know there will also be outfits for the upcoming characters Yuzuha and Alice? If you haven't heard much about the latest updates, check out our special program coverage here on IcyVeins!
The two upcoming PAID summer skins are Yuzuha's "Tanuki in Broad Daylight" and Alice's "Sea of Thyme"! Both will be featured on the "Today's Outfit" section in the Store and discounted for a limited-time.
During the discount period, paid skins are expected to cost 1,350 Monochromes each until the end of Version 2.1! The discount period is from July 15th to September 3rd, so you'll have a good 7 WEEKS to get both summer skins!
Once the limited-time period is over, players can continue to purchase the skins at 1,680 Monochromes each. This is the base price for any paid S-Rank outfits available. Monochromes are the game's premium currency, and can only be purchased with real-life money in the "Monochrome Market" section. The currency conversion is different for each country, so be sure to check the cost in-game!
If you're unfamiliar with Ukinami Yuzuha, she's one of the upcoming characters in Version 2.1 Phase 1! She's a Physical Support Agent who is just as great as Astra Yao, but for Anomaly squads instead. If you're looking to beef up your Anomaly team, why not pick up Yuzuha and her new summer outfit too? Yuzuha is only available to Signal Search from July 15th to August 6th, so get her before she's gone!
The other paid skin features Alice Thymefield, a new character that'll release with Version 2.1 Phase 2! Alice is a Physical Anomaly Agent, much like our very own Jane and Piper, but Alice is definitely more adorable thanks to her new outfit! It's a nice summer dress that will keep her cool at the beach, so why not pick her up before she's gone? Alice will be available to Signal Search from August 6th to September 3rd!
But wait, there's still more! Thankfully to get all the outfits, you won't have to pay more than 2,700 Monochromes total (at discount) during Version 2.1. The outfits for our beloved proxies, Wise's "Peaceful Waves" and Belle's "Summer Skies", are both FREE DURING VERSION 2.1!
To get Wise and Belle's outfits for free, be sure to complete missions in the upcoming Version 2.1 event Tales of Midsummer Dreams! This limited-time offer won't be forever though, as they will be added to the Store as paid purchases after September 3rd. Just like the other paid skins, you will need Monochromes to purchase from Version 2.2 onwards. Feel free to check out our event guide to get the free outfits before they're gone!

Zenless Zone Zero has some useful features that many players are overlooking! Here is how you can obtain more Hi-Fi Master Copies for Advanced Tuning!
Zenless Zone Zero has been out since a year now, but players are rediscovering a useful, but poorly explained, feature tied to Drive Disc crafting! It is the ability to convert purple Hi-Fi Copies into golden Hi-Fi Master Copies.
Some players shared the information on Reddit as a small reminder:
When you craft Discs, you have three options:
Beginner - uses blue Hi-Fi Copies Intermediate - uses purple Hi-Fi Copies Advanced - uses golden Hi-Fi Master Copies While the intermediate crafting has a chance to drop high-rank Discs, the Advanced one will guaranty those. This means that in theory, using your Purple Hi-Fi copies to craft Golden ones so you can use the Advanced crafting more often should be the better option, right?
Here is where it gets tricky. A player on Reddit crunched the numbers and found that:
"I made a spreadsheet about this. In order for you to get more S-CDs out of rolling A-ranks then crafting you would need to get 3 S-CDs per round 9/10 times. You would have to be VERY lucky.
With the HoYo published drop rates of 25%, crafting gives you 13.5% more S-CDs worth of materials for a relatively flat proportional cost of 12,700 dennys per extra S-CD worth of materials.
If you could just buy S-CDs for 13k Dennys, would you?"
So basically, if you are constantly broke (like many players already are), it might not be worth spending all your hard-earned Dennies just for a slight Disc efficiency boost.
As one user put it:
"It's not the Discs. It's the Dennys. I'm more destitute than the Cunning Hares."
Still, if you are not desperate for cash and want to target a specific Disc set or slot, this system is probably the most reliable way to get what you need.
Also as a reminder, if you are new to the game, don't just trash or ignore your purple Hi-Fi Copies. Use them in Intermediate Disc crafting! Pick the set type you want, and maybe get lucky with some golden gear. Even if the golden Discs are not perfect, they are often better than what you will get by chance elsewhere, especially when you just started playing.
And hey, every golden you roll is one less you will need to grind for.
