What Happens When You Reach Level 40? (Zenless Zone Zero)

[@MrCrunchytime]

Inter-Knot 40 is basically a soft cap. Your progress isn't halted, but unless you haven't been doing commissions for some reason, you're left with basically nothing but events, HIA, and Hollow Zero activities, and even then HZ reaches a point where the missions are too high in difficulty to face effectively. Leveling also becomes difficult, as the materials needed to take things past 40 usually drop in singles, and Dennies suddenly start pouring out of your wallet.

[@mohammedyaeesh6505]

All coffee's should be unlocked around Interknot 20 ish. They will rotate each day similar to how Genshin's domains do. And on Sunday all of the coffee's will be available.

[@Paradoxicallibility]

They give minimal buffs so it doesn't really matter unlike Genshin timegating materials.

[@RetroGhost16]

Oh so thats how it works? I didn't know that. Is there somewhere in the game where i can see the menu?

[@AccusedHeretic]

he did this on monday tho

[@nathans9972]

!For the music store! It costed 6 tuners per drive because you were focusing into a specific drive slot. If you allow it to focus randomly, it will cost the same 3 that Genshin's strongbox costs. Also, your first three weekly challenges of the Notorious Hunt will also award 400 XP each. You will also get 100 XP every five levelups of your hollow rank.

[@VeryRefreshing]

reaching level 40 there is absolutely nothing to do.

[@soulbounddoll1826]

I once did something stupid in the hollow deep dive. I got an event before the final boss that made it so I couldn't heal. No problem I'm at max hp, I thought. Then I got an event of the abyss and I was given a choice and one of the choices was to fight it head on, but I'd be set to 5% hp. I did it cause why not challenge myself? I set my HP to 5% with no possibility of healing and then had to fight the twins with that team. Died twice but third times the charm and I managed it. Was the craziest boss fight I've ever done. Well I say 5% but I basically had 10 hp on each character, if not for the shield I got from all the upgrades for being reckless it might have actually been impossible. Felt like a dark souls boss fight lol. So hearing that the bosses get harder brings joy to my ears.

[@jepeman]

Huh, can you just retry the fight if you die in Hollow Deep Dive? You don't have to redo the whole thing? Haven't died once yet, so genuinely don't know, but that would be nice, that you don't necessarily lose the whole run right away.

[@soulbounddoll1826]

@@jepeman It let me retry twice with no visible or noticable penalties though it didn't heal me or anything, just a reload back to the start of the fight. So idk.

[@meguillozebern8806]

@@jepeman area 3 of hollow zero rewards you for courting death by giving you damage boost. It provides healing though so you could run it with full health but the first buff the area gave you at the start would be pointless. I was in the same situation with soulbounddoll. My main damage dealer is about two hits to die, my support is on the same situation. It was a battle that is both exhilarating and exciting! The game allows you to retry. You could press esc (or equivalent on other platform) then just press restart.

[@seanjaymacabales6587]

I accidentally switched my only stun character in Hollow Zero and now my team is only supports. Worst of all, I had to keep fighting the Twin Marionettes for 6 minutes straight because they kept reviving and I had no stuns to stop them from reviving one another. I was only lucky when I stunned one of them and failed their revive on the other and I gave EVER SINGLE ATTACK onto it. Boy it was Rage inducing to see them revive ;-;

[@quangtoki8377]

i'm 39 using all the batteries from level up and bp not a single refresh

[@rona0427]

Pokke did a calculation and it’s actually quite efficient to start farming Discs at IK 35 so you can start stockpiling good discs, and then when you hit 40 you can farm combat simulation. This is because the drops increase for CS at 40 bust discs only at 45 so utilize those 5 IK levels from 40-45 to upgrade characters more efficiently with better drops.

Yeah, it's pretty easy to level up this early, I work 8hrs/day and already 5.7k EXP away from lv40 lol From 50 to 60 is the real deal tho; 1.373k EXP needed just for these 10 levels, while we only need 272k to go from lv0 to lv50, say 5 TIMES less than the amount required for the last10 levels...

you can optimize your assist combos on super elite enemies by going dps stun bangboo support instead of dps support bangboo stun it gives you an extra assist attack.

[@ballistic2527]

You can also fill up the daze meter, trigger daze with support ex skill -> dps -> stun -> bb/support, this way your dps's chain attack gets buffed by your support's ex skill and you still get the support's assist at the end

To be fair, it's easy to miss the Bangboo prompt because it usually only pops up in "Boss" fights, and even then it's not consistent, so one is not usually expecting it, especially in such a fast-moving game.

[@justjuniorjaw]

Yeah I somewhat agree : Pre-35, farm levels. Post-35, farm a bit of Disk Drives then spent the rest on either Team 2 building or improve your Team 1. At post-40, farming level stuff are more efficient as their drops improved (also Dennies gonna take a nose dive here). Post-45, welcome to the grind of your gacha life!
