What are Agent Specialties?

All Agents have their own specialty and , currently, there are five specialties:

• Attack - Agents are great at damaging enemies, can quickly build up damage through direct attacks which can end fights as quickly as they begin.
• Support - Agents can buff others in their teams (and friends) to boost their efficiency. Also, they can enhance and aid teammates.
• Stun - Agents can quickly build up Daze to put enemies into the Stunned state and have strong control abilities.
• Defense - Agents can use effective counterattacks and tank incoming attacks from enemies, they also have a strong survivability no matter what's thrown at them.
• Anomaly - Agents can apply debuffs, accumulate Anomaly Build Up while weakening enemies and deal significant damage with Attribute Anomalies.

You can check an Agent's specialty by entering your Agent menu then selecting the 'Basic Info' tab of the specific Agent you want to know about. Their specialty will be to the right of their level and to the right of the Attribute listing:

As they fight, your character will deal Attribute Damage and in turn this will create Anomaly Buildup. When a character reaches a specific point with the Anomaly Buildup the enemy you're fighting will be inflicted with the same damage as your characters attribute.

Here's a list of the Attribute Anomaly effects:

• Fire Anomaly - Deal Fire Damage to enemies to accumulate Fire Anomaly Buildup, this in turn triggers the Burn effect which deals continuous Fire Damage for a short period of time. Also, using Burn on enemies that are weak to fire can interrupt them.
• Ice Anomaly - Deal Ice Damage to enemies to accumulate Ice Attribute Anomaly, this in turn triggers both the Frostbite and Freeze effects. Frostbite increases the Critical Damage taken by a target for a period of time. Freeze immobilizes enemies which stops them for a short space of time, and when Freeze ends the Shatter effect is triggered which deals Ice Damage and interrupts enemies.
• Electric Anomaly - Deal Electric Damage to accumulate Electric Anomaly Buildup, this then triggers the Shock effect. This then causes an enemy to randomly suffer extra Electric Damage when attacked for a short period of time. Using Shock on enemies that are weak to Electric can interrupt them.
• Ether Anomaly - Deal Ether Damage to accumulate Ether Anomaly Buildup, this then triggers the Corruption effect. Anyone caught in the Corruption effect take extra Ether Damage periodically. Also, using Corruption on enemies weak to Ether can interrupt them.
• Physical Anomaly - Deal Physical Damage to enemies to accumulate Physical Anomaly Buildup, this then triggers the Flinch and Assault effects. Flinch increases the Daze an enemy takes for a short amount of time and Assault interrupts the enemy while dealing large amounts of Physical Damage.

Agent Attribute Anomaly Training

If you want to learn how to use your chosen Agent's talents to their maximum effect, then you can take part in Agent Attribute Anomaly Training sessions through the VR set at Random Play.

You'll then get placed in an arena where you'll face multiple enemies while using your Agent's Attribute Anomaly, allowing you to get used to all of the tricsk you can pull with it and to learn exactly when it's most effective to use them.

That's it for now! We hope you enjoy Zenless Zone Zero.
