Decibel and Ultimate Changes Coming to Zenless Zone Zero 1.4?

Recommended Posts

Leaked information from reliable leaker Leifa has provided insights into the huge changes coming to Zenless Zone Zero's Decibel and Ultimate mechanics in Patch 1.4. These updates are set to reshape how players approach battles, making ultimate strategy more free and less restricted.

One of the main changes is that all characters will now have separate Decibel Meters, generating different amounts of Decibels for themselves and their teammates. This adds a new layer of combat to ultimate usage as well as increase the strength of some older characters who were never able to use their ultimate due to your DPS character always using it. Additionally, when a character's ultimate is ready, a small icon will now appear next to their Energy Meter, providing a clearer visual cue for players.

One such example is defense agent Seth Lowell who will be able to utilise his Ultimate: Justice Prevails to generate more Resolve. Another huge example is Burnice White in Jane Doe teams where both Burnice and Jane are fighting for Ultimate useage.

Some of the above information from Leifa was known already through other leaks and developer information however, the beta for 1.4 has confirmed there will be no cooldowns on using Ultimates, and there won't be any changes to the Decibel cost for activating them. 

As a result, characters are also starting to gain mechanics which can influence their own Decibel generation. It is also theorized by players that the current lack of Decibel generation in Harumasa's kit in the initial beta is this way while the developers fine-tune these changes.

This is overall a great change that players have been highly anticipating and will bring exciting changes to the combat in patch 1.4.

      A recent leak from the Zenless Zone Zero 2.0 beta has revealed more details around the new customization features for the game's main characters, Belle and Wise. Shared on Reddit, the leak showcases a "Wardrobe" menu, allowing you to personalize your Proxy's appearance with various skins and accessories, including playful additions like cat ears. 
      Take a look at the leak here:
      This marks the first time players can modify the look of the Proxies, offering a range of cosmetic options to suit individual styles. The customization system appears to be flexible, enabling combinations of different outfits and accessories for a unique appearance.
      While we know the base skins for the Proxy will be free, it's unclear if the accessories and upcoming skins will be free, event-based, or require in-game purchases. The addition of character customization is a significant development for the game.

      Zenless Zone Zero 2.0 beta leaks reveal major changes to Rage mechanics and Rupture damage scaling, including ATK-to-Sheer Force conversion. Here's what you need to know!
      As Zenless Zone Zero prepares for its major 2.0 update, recent beta leaks have revealed important changes to some of the game's upcoming mechanics. According to those leaks, adjustments have been made to the Rage Meter system and Rupture damage scaling, especially involving the conversion from ATK to Sheer Force.
      As we know, 2.0 adds new mechanics to Agents, such as the Rage Meter. The latest adjustments show that the Rage related mechanics have all been renamed to Adrenaline. 
      If you want to compare Adrenaline to the Energy Regen equivalents:
      Automatic Adrenaline Accumulation is equal to Energy Regeneration Adrenaline Generation Rate is equal to Energy Generation Rate Max Adrenaline is equivalent to the Energy Limit The Base Auto Adrenaline Accumulation of Rupture Agents is still 2 per second, with a Max Adrenaline at 120.
      The Adrenaline system raises some concerns among players, sharing thought such as:
      "Yeah Rupture kinda feels a bit like "We can't be bothered to design around existing strong mechanics so we're just gonna design new mechanics that completely invalidate the
      Nicole DEF shred too strong? Rupture completely ignores DEF so that's useless now.
      Support ATK buffs too good? (aka Astra) Rupture only gets 30% buff efficiency from ATK buffs.
      Support ults give energy? Can't be having that, let's just make an "energy but actually not bar"
      Of course, those are just leaks from the 2.0 beta, so anything can still change regarding the Adrenaline system. For the time being, it does quite look like another similar Energy system designed to not synergize with the previous support units.
      You can take a look at the original leak here:
      The second major leak focuses on the Rupture mechanic and how it ties into a new damage type conversion introduced in the 2.0 beta.
      Here's the key detail:
      Up until now, Rupture Agents would turn 25% of their ATK into Sheer Force. This ATK to Sheer Force Conversion Rate has now been increased to 30% for all upcoming Rupture Agents.
      So for the few examples: 
      Astra's 1200 ATK buff results in 360 Sheer Force Soukaku and Caesar's 1000 ATK buff equals 300 Sheer Force Lucy's 600 ATK buff gives you instead 180 Sheer Force Additionally, upcoming Agent Pan Yinhu's M0 540 Sheer Force buff is equivalent to an 1800 ATK buff, and his M6 720 Sheer Force buff is equal to a 2400 ATK buff!
