Physical Attribute, Anomaly Effect and Characters in Zenless Zone Zero
This page contains information about the Physical Attribute in Zenless Zone Zero. Here, players will find out about mechanics such as Physical's Anomaly Effects and which playable Agents use Physical as their main damage source.
Introduction to the Physical 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 Physical Attribute, the Agents using it, and its distinct features.
The Physical Attribute in Zenless Zone Zero embodies the brute physical force. Although the game does not feature specific elemental reactions, possessing an agent with a unique element can be an advantage. Agents with the Physical attribute will deal additional physical damage, and have the possibility to interrupt enemies.
Physical 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.
Physical Agents will build up Anomaly by attacking with Physical abilities. After a certain amount of physical damage inflicted, the Physical Attribute Anomaly will trigger. This will put the following debuffs on the enemy:
- Assault: Interrupts enemy attacks, and deal massive Physical Damage.
- Armor Break: Reduces the enemy's Physical damage resistance for a certain period of time.
- Flinch: Increases the Daze the target takes for a certain amount of time.
Honed Edge is a unique attribute linked to Ye Shunguang, since she is a Void Hunter. Overall, Honed Edge works the exact same way as Physical does, but the Anomaly Buildup gauge is separate from Physical, which means that you can trigger Disorder between Physical and Honed Edge.
Honed Edge also has an increased 50% MIasma purification rate.
Physical Enemy Weaknesses
Organic and Mechanical enemies can sometimes have weaknesses to Physical DMG.
