Gleaming Shadow Team Battle Event Guide for Zenless Zone Zero

This event will take place during version 3.0 of the game, from June 19 until July 13, 2026.

During the event, Proxies will have to participate in Dr. Bang's new Combat Partner Synergy Test System.

In order to participate you will need to reach Inter-Knot level 20 and complete the Main Story Chapter 1 Intermission.

During the event, head to CCD Square and speak with Dr. Bang and Little Boo to access a series of special combat challenges.

Stage Unlock Schedule:

• 2 event stages are available immediately when the event begins
• 1 additional stage unlocks each day afterward
• A total of 6 themed stages can be completed during the event

Each stage features a continuous combat challenge where you must earn as many points as possible before time runs out.

• Build two separate two-character squads before starting
• Battles last up to 2 minutes
• Enemies continuously spawn throughout the challenge
• Defeating enemies increases your stage score
• Your final score determines your stage rating upon completion

Every themed stage comes with its own unique stage buff that becomes stronger as the battle progresses.

• A Charge Bar gradually fills over time
• Dealing damage to enemies also increases Charge Bar progress
• Once the Charge Bar is full, you can swap to your second squad
• Each squad swap upgrades the stage buff
• Upgraded buffs gain additional effects and powerful new mechanics that can significantly boost your performance

Making good use of squad swaps and upgraded stage buffs is key to achieving the highest ratings.

Before entering a stage, you can choose extra buffs for each squad individually, allowing you to customize your setup and better take advantage of the stage mechanics.
