Ice Attribute, Anomaly Effect and Characters in Zenless Zone Zero
This page contains information about the Ice Attribute in Zenless Zone Zero. Here, players will find out about mechanics such as Ice's Anomaly Effects and which playable Agents use Ice.
Introduction to the Ice Attribute
In Zenless Zone Zero, each Agent is aligned with a specific Element, also referred to as an Attribute. These Attributes all have unique capabilities and utilities. Here is a look at the Ice Attribute, the Agents using it, and its distinct features.
The Ice Attribute in Zenless Zone Zero embodies the essence of frost. Although the game does not feature specific elemental reactions, possessing an agent with a unique element can be an advantage. Agents with the Ice attribute will Freeze enemies, giving you the opportunity to deal massive damage while they are unable to attack.
Ice Attribute Anomalies
Attribute Anomaly is built up when enemies are attacked with specific Attributes. Once a threshold has been met, the Anomaly Buildup will trigger a debuff on the enemy. This debuff will correspond to the Attribute that was used to attack.
Ice Agents will build up Anomaly by attacking with Ice abilities. After a certain amount of Ice damage inflicted, the Ice Attribute Anomaly will trigger. This will put the following debuffs on the enemy:
- Freeze: prevents enemies from taking action for a certain period of time, and triggers Shatter when the effect ends, dealing additional Ice damage.
- Frostbite: Increases the CRIT DMG received by the enemy for a certain amount of time.
The Frost attribute is for now only specific to Hoshimi Miyabi.
Frost is still considered part of the Ice element, however, Frost Anomaly is using different multipliers than Ice Anomaly, and can even cause Disorder with Ice anomaly.
Dealing Frost DMG will accumulate Frost attribute anomaly, and also trigger Freeze and Frostbite.
Additionally, Miyabi can apply Frostburn when frost anomaly is triggered on a enemy affected with her Icefire debuff (she inflicts this debuff when doing ice damage). Frostburn increases the anomaly build-up rate for the entire team by 20%. The effect ends when the Frost anomaly ends.
Ice Enemy Weaknesses
