Zenless Zone Zero has one of the best combat systems, but it can be just as confusing. New players have probably come across the term Special and Ex-Special attacks in the game. These are the equivalent of the character Skill in Zenless Zone Zero, but with a slight twist. Here's a complete guide on what Special and Ex-Special attacks are in Zenless Zone Zero, and how to use them effectively.
A COMPLETE guide to the basics of combat in Zenless Zone Zero!
Special attacks are the equivalent of character "Skills" in Zenless Zone Zero, and they also use the same button as the other Hoyoverse games. Each agent has different special attacks, and some of the special attacks can be combined with the basic attacks to do more damage.
For example, Koleda can use her special attack after two basic attacks to create a large explosion and deal small AoE Fire damage. Similarly, other agents also have combos that link their Basic Attack to Special Attacks. Image courtesy: In-game screenshot
Unlike skills in Genshin Impact, the special attack in Zenless Zone Zero has no cooldown. Agents can use special attacks at will and even spam them, although the agent must finish the special attack animation to start the next attack.
