I'm really thankful that there's youtubers that give guides because I'm betting a lot of people are excited to play zzz for weeks and this just tells people how fun this game can be

[@BeerusCatLitter]

Your consistency is crazy fam, you’ve definitely been getting me more hyped towards this game 💪🏽

the fighting game comparisons you make along with consistency of content is really refreshing! im looking forward to your content as the game progresses :)

[@tsuyuukikurenai]

oh wow . the explaining aside. those solo / team combo is sick asf . kudo for the helping

[@ItstheLightBrite]

I needed a good ZZZ youtuber to start watching when I start playing tomorrow and then you popped up. Perfection.

[@mcclendon392]

Hey, I just wanted to say thank you for all of these videos. They have been so informative and helpful as a casual player that is nervous going into more of a fighting game but super excited. Thank you for hyping us up for ZZZ!

[@akdrzllol1698]

1:07 you mentioned it before but it would be cool if she had some Jack-O type setups. That home run attack could be like Jack-O throwing her minions or she could have a defensive command that lets her time a parry with them.

[@IyoXS]

I want this to be discovered in the game so bad. LOL

[@flameofanor1415]

Your videos are great, I love how you go in-depth on things. I cant wait for your vids after you do some in game testing tomorrow.

[@Zep2084]

keep up the good content... you doin' it, thank you!

[@Mtn_Do_Not]

Love your analysis of the game so far! I was already pretty hyped because the art, animation, music,etc and was already liking how the combat looked but the way you talk about the systems makes me even more excited! Also a fellow Cammy main, hell yeah.

[@BCMSunraku]

I love your videos man, thanks for always giving information and help on people. I wish i can get Lycaon because is my fav character wont mind if he gets bad in the future. Always waiting for more videos

[@Taqley]

Thank you, this is very helpful

[@AIejam]

Thanks for the informative guide. I have no idea about the terms zzz uses and can't be bothered to lol

[@GameProdigy_]

I appreciate this video since i never reroll at all because of rhe annoying process. Im hoping i get Grace and Rina so this guide helps in general for teams i need to build for them. Im obviously going for Zhu Yuan so i know who to start building ahead of time

[@chinesesquidward]

Aight I'll watch this video when I get a 5 star character

[@gong-hl7fw]

Thanks man

[@dapperdude1550]

I got soldier 11 from my beginner s rank! So hyped to build a fire squad! I even got Lucy from my first 10 pull! Just gotta get Piper🔥

[@metalunderground2020]

I also got Soldier 11. I was concerned because I kept hearing she had a high skill level to play her properly, but when I found out it was just having her attacks done in a rhythm, I was ready to let loose. I love rhythm games, so I love her.

[@JovianTon]

good video !

[@deniskornja762]

This helps a lot thank you very much 😊. I got Nekomata and honestly didn't know what team i should run. The game is completely unplayable bytheway it's crushing non stop on my pathetic flagship phone so I'm playing at PC. Honestly idk why is that bad optimized on Android.

[@mollykimm]

10HRS TO GOOOOO

[@pixelarian414]

Hey, I actually plan on making Lycaon my main and not using an attack agent like Ellie or Corin. I was thinking on Lycaon, Soukaku and Rina/Lucy. Do you think I'll be able to clear all endgame content on hardest difficulty or is it bonkers to not use a main dps?

[@haruyanto8085]

Depends on the endgame if it favours his element then yes, same like genshin and hsr, shiyu defense will promote whatever character is currently on rate up For other endgames we'll have to wait and see but it should be clearable

[@haruyanto8085]

Lyca is the best choice to reroll for, he will pretty much be mandatory for all ice teams in the future, Soukaku as well to some extent, Grace got some potential, lots of CN tc rating her pretty highly, Rina is like Lyca but for shock teams tho rn no real shock dps, nekomata solid dps but could be powercept a lot faster than the others Fire seems the weakest for now, so I'd reroll if i got soldier 11 or koleda unless theyre fun to play

[@avionu3122]

Should i reroll anyway if i got soldier 11, Lucy, and piper within the pulls given.

[@arceltare]

I am so hype to play this later today! Hoping I get Grace early as I want to try running Grace, Anby, Nicole for my team. Best of luck to everyone pulling for Ellen. I hope the gacha god smiles upon you.

[@Ray_Kaminari]

This is basically about the 5 star we get from first 5 multi right ? And we still have a free 5 star to choose after that iirc So depending on which 5 star we get , what other 5 star should we be choosing because I think that would be most important for the first patch. Like if I get Rina I would ideally wanna go for grace ? Or maybe lycon ? For the attribute/faction respectively.

[@Mariuslorca]

I hope you keep this kind of content Iyo and not go to drama route like most hoyo CC does

[@vungocanh3712]

Plan on going no 5* or Grace my waifu only run like my HSR's FF one n only. Do you have any suggestion on what to invest?

[@Scurrydog]

Does this take into consideration the new changes (almost all buffs) for 1.0 release ?

[@JazzBoiiFGC]

Bro I love how Koleda plays, but I hate her design I'm so confused Would love a guide on how to reroll based on what we know from beta and launch rewards.. keep up the good work!

[@chenwingsee]

The way I pulled Ellen with my first limited ten pull and now I'm praying for the wolf boy and her weapon to come home soon 🙏🙇

[@samya519]

What were to happen if I put rina and ellen on one team? I really like all the victoria housekeeping commission characters and will try to get ellen but if i were to get rina, is there a way to use ellen too?

[@IyoXS]

Pure DMG is what happens if you put them together and get really creative with your combos. I think team variety in this game is gonna be huge.

[@Synocra]

yo i rerolled 4 times for soldier 11 and then also pulled koledo shortly after, can they be used in the same team? I was thinking sol11, koleda and lucy

[@UnoMain]

hey man love your content, i am really curious about how energy works in ZZZ, like i know it regenerates passively over time, but HOW MUCH...

[@user-bs4vk4dk1y]

Definitely gonna try to get nekomata

[@NLANDXP]

Isn't the game going to be re speced and updated on release day?

[@PastelNightmare-]

I got Lycaon on my first pull, and I want to pull for Ellen and then rina, since the faction buff and I get a great amount of coverage for Two ice users one stun and one dps, and an electric support, so if I get that team I think I’ll be happy for life. I want to pair them with the Butler boo, and if you couldn’t tell, I love Victoria Housekeeping XD

[@l0st1nv0id]

Have some questions about Nekomata team building. So, it happens that I got a 5* support weapon Weeping Cradle, which increases the team damage by a pretty substantial amount. Would Nicole be the BiS in Neko + Piper team considering Nicole’s also E2? Also, regarding Anby as the last slot, wouldn’t Billy be technically better than her cuz he’s also physical, so more Assault procs? I also have Lycaon but I don’t think I can effectively fit him into Neko team

[@plep8877]

are the 5 star cores any good? the ones on standard in partciular

[@Nikorasu737]

Pulled Lyacon, not a huge fan of Ellen so pairing him with Corin 🙂‍↕️ but would piper or soukaku be better as the third slot?

[@carlosvieira5217]

i got Rina and Koleda, is Anton a good option with them?

[@BoopBedoop-ch4tw]

Game comes out 10 tonight! (for na east) remember to download!

[@advendra6078]

This is a really good guide, cause people gonna get random 5 stars char

[@neelynilly]

If I can get Ellen for Lycaon, would Rina also be a good fit for the team? I'd assume they would be but I just wanna check.

[@remu002]

i always hate the day before a game release or big update like wuwa release firefly release or zzz release cuz knowing that tomorrow is the day i wont be able to sleep it feels so bad to go to bed i cant sleep

[@user-bd1tl3yd3o]

considering that zhu yuan is in a banner with ben, should i go for kolbeda instead of lycaon for the near term?

[@haruyanto8085]

The best investment rn is the ice team, for ellen but also for miyabi later If you want to play ben and koleda thats fine too, but they dont help zhu yuan

[@user-bd1tl3yd3o]

@@haruyanto8085 he mentioned kolbeda works as a stunner for zhu yuan. I guess can't use Ben though because you need nicole.

[@akiamendoza8859]

If I had a nickel for every time I see a KZbinr use Omori OST as BGM, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's only happened twice.

[@satansify.]

Does rerolling means u need new id?

[@mitch1028]

so rina has no synergy with ellen ? they're both my favorite T-T

[@OranjeKid3838]

I'm wondering the same thing

[@Rayykuu]

i legit got solider, lucy and piper today, most cracked team its so fun

[@Zebzeb958]

Will you do a video on the bangboos?

[@IyoXS]

Hell yeah.

[@pustocvetie]

Great, ty

[@KevinExoOfficial]

10:52 that is a wild sentence to hear out of context about Nekomata. 😂

[@gr_ale]

what team should I build if I pulled rina and nekomata?

[@maksymovcharov6885]

My first pull - Koleda, second pull - Lucy, third pull- Soldier 11, team assembled

[@blueberryblitz77]

awesomeeeee

[@methuselah1005]

Could you please make a Rina guide (how to play her properly and all). I got her but I can't get around how to get her dolls to stay off field. Ty~

[@Bllssxfull]

Can you use stun caharcters as a dps? Ik its prob not optimal but i got koleda and i think shes so cool. And I have Ben so XD

[@fran99080]

is miyabi a 4 star or will she be released later

[@etchbekey]

i got grace on the discount banner and not lycan so i pivoted from planning an Ice team to an Electric team

[@UsernameisMac]

is koleda, ben, lucy a good team? or do I need a dps lol

[@captainoof4045]

I’m running Ellen/corrin/Sokaku team and it’s shredding

[@Quinqyincy]

I would want piper, i really love her design

[@huilokoil6419]

I had so much luck as a free to play pulled rina and grace. They are pretty good in a team rigth?

[@tiller3777]

man even with the game coming tomorrow I'm still torn on going for either Ellen or Zhu Yuan. Coming from Star Rail Ik how good it is to go for an investment character and reap the rewards later(ended up skipping the first Ruan Mei banner which was a huge mistake). Even though I want both I'm gonna see who my first 5 star is to help make that decision.

[@Solozocker]

Actually for grace i would recommend not using ben and using anby instead to avoid replacing your shock since grace's whole thing is the shock application and anton can retrigger the original shock proc (think Kafka) you can have grace on high anomaly proficiency to increase the initial shock damage and then repeat that with anton. (Makes it so you need to trigger the shock with grace tho which would need some planning).

[@sebastien2994]

Does the game works with the ps5 controller on windows 11 ? ( i have the same controller we can see on the desk ) ?

[@IyoXS]

That's the only way I play! ;)

[@cthulhucorps6665]

Do we know how much gameplay we'll need to do to get the guaranteed s rank? I never got into the cbt so idk how long it takes to get 10 master tapes (we get 30 from logging it looks like and we need 40 for the reduced cost banner to guarantee)?

[@IyoXS]

10-20ish minutes if you're paying attention to the story? Probably faster if you skip it just for the pulls in the mailbox (allegedly).

[@cthulhucorps6665]

@@IyoXS That's not bad! Definitely gonna watch the cutscenes tho the animations are pure shmoovement.

[@hue_m1rr0r47]

is Rina also good with Anby? cuz the same element

[@CharizardIsTheGoat]

13:11 also how cool is Anton? He is literally Kamina from Gurenn Lagen what with his drill bit, his look and his comments about revving it up

[@CharizardIsTheGoat]

I’ve been playing Neko with Lucy and now Piper wheel and they are an amazing team setup to play with. Yes you miss out on the cunning hares buff for neko but piper builds anomaly for neko and Lucy’s piggie buffs are great for neko. Before I got piper I was using Ben like you suggested as he is amazingly fun to use and actually a lot faster than I expected him to be

[@AndergroundG3]

You dont lose the buff for neko tho, since piper shares the same element, is a great team, just without much daze

[@Condensed_rock]

I got nekomata at 20 pulls then her again 40 pulls later.. i dont know if i should be happy or pissed

[@ichintendo]

Got Soldier and Piper on my main and just Nekomiya on my alt so far lol

[@xHeatStrikex]

Grace and anthon are not good with Anby? Cuz u didnt mention her in grace team

[@HazZzel-]

Watching this knowing I'm maining Billy because hes my pookie Prayge I get either Nekomata, Rina, or Lycaon (emphasis on Rina I'm obsessed with her). Lowkey love Ellen too, she's so pretty and I love her attitude
