Here's a comprehensive guide on how to effectively Dodge and execute Counter Attacks in Zenless Zone Zero:
Dodging in Zenless Zone Zero:
Dodging is crucial for survival and setting up counterattacks in ZZZ. Here's how it works:
Basic Dodge:
•Activation: Press the dodge button (usually the spacebar on PC or a dedicated button on mobile) to perform a quick dodge.
•I-Frames: Dodging grants temporary invincibility frames (I-frames), making your character untouchable during the dodge animation. This is key to avoiding damage from enemy attacks.
Perfect Dodge:
•Timing: A Perfect Dodge is executed by dodging at the exact moment an enemy's attack is about to hit. This requires good timing and familiarity with enemy attack patterns.
•Indicator: There's a visual cue (like a change in color of the dodge button or a specific sound effect) right before an enemy's attack lands, signaling when to dodge for perfection.
•Reward: Successfully performing a Perfect Dodge not only avoids damage but also often triggers a Dodge Counter or allows for a Quick Assist from another character.
Counter Attacks:
Counter Attacks are your opportunity to turn defense into offense:
Dodge Counter:
•Mechanism: After a Perfect Dodge, if you immediately attack (usually with a basic attack), you can perform a Dodge Counter. This is a powerful counterattack that deals significant damage and can sometimes stun or disrupt enemies.
•Benefits: Besides the high damage, Dodge Counters can contribute to filling the enemy's Daze Gauge, setting them up for a stun.
Quick Assist:
•Execution: After a Perfect Dodge, instead of countering with the active character, you can call in another character for a Quick Assist, which is another form of counterattack.
•Strategy: Quick Assists can vary in effect depending on the character called in. Some might have AoE (Area of Effect) attacks, others might apply debuffs or buffs. Choosing the right assist can be key in combat.
Tips for Mastering Dodge and Counter:
•Learn Enemy Patterns: Each enemy, especially bosses, has unique attack patterns. Recognizing these will help you time your dodges perfectly.
•Practice: Spend time in combat training or against weaker enemies to get the timing of Perfect Dodges down. The game's mechanics reward precision.
•Character Selection: Some characters have skills or passives that enhance dodging or counterattacks. For example, characters like Anby Demara have abilities that make them particularly adept at dodging and countering.
•Use of Assists: Decide when to use a Dodge Counter versus a Quick Assist. If your current character is low on health or not optimal for the counter, calling in an assist might be the better choice.
•Combat Flow: Keep the combat rhythm in mind. A successful dodge and counter can lead to more opportunities for damage, building Daze, or setting up for Chain Attacks.
•Visual and Audio Cues: Pay attention to the game's feedback. Visual changes, specific sounds, or even controller vibrations can signal when to dodge for a Perfect Dodge.
•Positioning: Sometimes, positioning can make dodging easier. Being too close to an enemy might limit your dodge options, while being at the right distance can give you more room to react.
Note: Mastering the art of dodging and countering in Zenless Zone Zero not only keeps you alive longer but also allows you to control the pace of battle, turning defensive moments into offensive opportunities. Remember, timing is everything in this system, so patience and practice are your best allies. |
