Please make more ZZZ guides, these are greatly appreciated especially since theres not much relevant information or guides on the game right now

[@guobauncertified]

Sounds good :)

[@fredosslave7558]

​@@guobauncertified true bro. There are really not that many character guides out there. I wish we could see more thank you.

[@mercurexi]

Yeah there's only 2134265254645644525245251245667213412 guides on ZZZ. You drunk or ?

[@justjuniorjaw]

​@@mercurexiSorry, but right now you'll get more complaint video instead of guides. What Gouba does is actually a rarity for ZZZ right now.

[@victortran2962]

@@mercurexi most of them is general guide. A character guide at guoba level of quality is supper rare

guoba growing his second channel like phaeton rebuilding their rep lol

HOLY LORE ACCCURATE

[@kindredclawthorne]

THANK YOU it's just not a full hoyo game experience unless I get your guides

[@guobauncertified]

:P hope it helps

[@leedevee]

Finally a guide I can actually trust. So little legit theory crafting for ZZZ currently…

[@yoshi_923]

Right!? I find it odd how there's very little character guides for this game

[@controlcon]

@@yoshi_923 the games been out for not even a week lol, give it a bit of time. also i think cn has a lot of guides already, just untranslated.

[@over9000lord]

Try Prydwen?

[@TheMobott]

Also check out iamrivenous, his guides seem pretty good too

[@Quantumsaber]

I love how every character has drastically different play styles and mechanics in this hame

[@icedteabee]

I just LOVE how indepth, informative and well edited these are,,, thank you so much!! im looking forward to more ZZZ content as im really in love with this game already

[@DaeKageXX]

I always come straight to your channel for HSR guides. So glad to see you doing guides for ZZZ as well. I just got Ellen today and this was needed. Thank you!!

[@ChrispyBrownies-fi4xh]

FUNFACT: If you look at the moon at nightime, you can see like a huge area of hollow ate some part of the moon I know this doesn't have anything to do with the guide, I just wanna drop a funfact😋

SSCARY D: hope we go there

Hell yeah we gonna fight that moon eater for sure

[@whycchi5204]

So happy to see you covering ZZZ, I've been searching for reliable guides!!! This is very informative thank you

[@NagaTales]

"Guoben" xD Love it. Great to see you covering the game!

[@canaldecasta]

Nice argumentation and detailed explanation. However. Holding E with Corin.

[@p01nt_blank67]

Spamming dash attack with Billy :P

[@justjuniorjaw]

Nicole Hold E, WASD, Release E.

[@heilamwether8911]

Hold e on corin, switch to Billy, then dash attack and e on Nekomata or Attaker, idk why, but when I do that, I can get like 60k on a enemy due to multiple assaults initiating, and since E prolongs chr duration, u can switch between them to get more dmg faster, and assists are better, but idk if this is known or not, or if I’m gaslighting myself :/

[@perk2469]

You raise a good point. E

[@Melinoe550]

YESS!! I love your HSR guides so much, they've helped me so so much over the past year. I'm so happy that you're gonna do guides for ZZZ too!

[@DandyStuff]

the certified uncertified guoba

[@michaelyang838]

This is amazing, you alone have combos and actual rotations, making you perfect for the guides

[@Derektwgu]

Great guide as always! I thought I already did a lot of research and testing on Ellen, but still learned something new from you.

[@unbelie8013]

love it!!! thank you so much!! love that you’re putting stuff out on here now, I checked it out a few days ago waiting to see if you where gonna post on here! now I get both an ZZZ Guoba & a HSR one!! thanks so much!! ❤❤❤

[@nekochen]

Wow, the most detailed character guide yet! So much button combos like a true fighting game, reminds me the old day when I was learning Guilty Gears, always fumbling my key presses.

[@jonathanma9115]

Thank you so much for the vid!! I got Ellen today and this really helped solidfy my comfort and understanding of the character! I also got Lycaon so I will definitely be running the meta team you showed me. Please keep making these videos because they are incredibly helpful! ❤

[@Caliban743]

I really like this game so far, nice to see you make ZZZ stuff.

[@barbdon3148]

took me 150 pulls after a 5050 loss but here I am glad you're covering zzz guoba!

[@alewka1337]

took me 160 pulls to get her lol

[@SevenPls]

I'm really glad you are covering ZZZ! Keep it coming!

[@yuniTEEHEE]

wow this vid actually have so many informations i haven't heard from other creators! thank you for making such a helpful guide!! ❤

[@KolahokiYT]

Thank you for making the best guides always!! :D Keep them going, hope to see more ZZZ guides from you!!

[@Piscore]

finally a video with combo showcase with all the classic guide, this game need to show how to combo or ppl just only smash buttoms with no sense.

[@CDEDBDLuna]

I agree, but after playing with a character for a while you start to get a hang of what combos work

[@rebcommando587]

Smashing the buttons works just as well

[@dmitriducklas]

What buttoms? I smash one button and the game plays itself Boring as heck

[@Kaboom-dg3uq]

I ve been watching ur hsr guide since 1.1 silver wolf , since Its easy to understand and entertaining, especially mr pokke 200 spd Mentioned in recent videos , i was looking for ellen guide , and here i am . Thanks for the guide

[@guobauncertified]

:O OG viewer hey

[@deedeesga34]

Really happy you’re branching out guoba, been watching since blade guide so im really happy to see the growth while still keeping your signature style! appreciate the Ellen guide I just got her as well

[@duckouranus9745]

Hell yeeeahhhh, I'm so happy to see your guide for zzz! Your guide for HSR has always been my most trusted + user friendly so it would be absolutely great to have your reliable TC for zzz too ❤

[@Kronman590]

These are the best guides Ive seen so far omg, looking forward to seeing one for every standard character

[@arhesia7725]

I’m really happy to see you do video on ZZZ. Hope you’ll continue

[@o_miguel__]

I was waiting for some content creator to start making ZZZ content. Thank God that you started, 'cause I enjoy your Star Rail guides for being nice and easy to understand. Hope to see more ZZZ content in the future.

[@KizokuSoul]

The only guides I watch on KZbin!

[@FrickinJesse]

i watched like 3 guides and understood nothing, but this one was very easy to understand! thanks :)

[@p01nt_blank67]

Finally, a Guoba (un)Certified Z3 guide! Really hope you also make guides covering bith the S-class and A-class units if possible. Of course, this will take a while, so take all the time you have 👍

[@FonKard]

Great guide, as always! But I wonder why all the guide makers are missing Banboo pick in team section. I mean, it is useful too, cause it potentially deals elemental damage, stacking up anomaly (or whatever is the name for Freeze effect, not used to terms of ZZZ just yet) and gives buffs, but what is more important, it can chain attack!

[@FonKard]

So here is the question. Should I run shark Banboo or the one from Housekeeping? They are both great, as I can see it in the perfect team for Ellen

[@guobauncertified]

I put it in the team section :) butler or shark for her. Bangboos got changed a lot so not sure on the optimal choice just yet. Butler has energy so id say that is more useful than the extra freeze especially on a full freeze team, but not 100% sure

[@akapinn]

Ngl i also missed it when watching the video. Had to rewatch and realized its only mentioned as a text near the end of the video

[@Devil1868]

Yep , i stil can't decide which banboo to pull for , Shark is good , but it's work only in freez teams????? and butltler seems to be universally good , but i don't have Lycaon so it's passive won't work t.t , help please.

[@Juicetey]

Amazing guide as expected!

[@titaochen5249]

Not enough people are making ZZZ guides! Please keep making these please please please

[@reubear4206]

Thanks for this guide. I'm a dummy at this game and having the combos clearly explained and shown is really helpful. I would like a Lycaon and Soukaku guide to go along with this one next. Also, it would be nice if there was a section along in the teammates where you discuss possible bangboos.

[@lokeras92]

A really, really good video, Guoba. Informative, concise, well explained and detailed. Thank you very much and keep the great job. I vote for more ZZZ content like this. Cheers mate

[@guobauncertified]

Thanks!

[@kenthin1794]

You are unironically the goat when it comes to HSR, hope you cover ZZZ as much as you can in the future you're legit only content creator for HSR I watch when it comes to guides

[@akimotomiharu3415]

Guobaaaa! Finally I needed your guides bro😭 I just realised this is “uncertified” in the channel name lol

[@LiterallyCouldntFindAGoodName]

Gouba i think your blessing that you gave me for firefly pulls went to zzz instead my account is pretty insane right now. Will be looking forward for more guides to help us understand the game and the characters better!

randomly got her doing single pulls, now I'm learning everything about her

Amazing as always. Can't wait for my boy Guobaon

[@melatonininin]

Im so glad you're making guides for zzz. Your guides save me for hsr, and I'm sure they will do the same for zzz. I'm not pulling for Ellen or Zhu, but I'll definitely be on the lookout for A rank guides.

[@TsuchiGamer06]

So much filled info, thank you for this Sharkba

[@Bleargghhhh]

wonderful guide very clear thank you!

[@KillerSquidHugs]

Great guide! Some of the best content out there. Just my two cents as a gacha and fighting game enthusiast (we do exist!): "EX special" is terminology borrowed from fighting games. Traditionally the letters E and X are pronounced separately. Obviously it's more syllables which can be annoying, but figured I would chime in in case anyone cares

[@Shamshaad]

Thank you for the guide. It's really helpful, hope you do more.

[@MiniJackSparrow]

Your detailed explanations are incredible. I don't play Ellen the same way anymore 🤯 Subscription done ☑

[@meriwidget3474]

Thanks! I got.. sorta? lucky, and lost my 50/50 to Lycaon on Ellen's banner but got her about 30 pulls after, and plenty of Soukaku copies along the way, it's the only team I've invested anything into and it's dang fun to play, ty for this guide!... even if it is uncertified :)

how do you get a full 3 chain basic off if the boss is constantly wanting you to trigger assists? is this only viable when the enemy is stunned?

[@vuanh857]

Mini bosses will trigger 2 and bosses will trigger 3 when stunned

@@modo1785 I'm not the expert, but stun gives some massive damage bonuses in this game, and it seems really important to have at least one character in your party who can quickly stun enemies. Not sure I'd build a team without a stun character (or Ben)

You can hold basic attack after the quick assist it will do the scissors attack without entering roaming mode also you can push for a bit more damage by doing one basic attack with soukaku before the quick assist she does this long lasting spinning move

[@SoIfire]

Looking forward to more content from you! I don't trust any tier lists I've seen so far cause they're all wack and was hoping one of the creators I already follow would pick up this game

Question, I dont have Lycaon but I got Rina, is it better to run ellen/rina/anby to get a passive on everyone, or go with ellen/souka/anby, anby will lose her team passive though?

[@gabrielfermin2364]

I love your accent, and I like how you explain throughfuly, thanks, great video.

[@jericho5619]

Great video as usual Mr. Guoben. One thing I believe you missed was that during the animation of her scissor strike, Ellen is invulnerable. While it may be a short time window, you could theoretically time it in order to ignore damage. Though this is assuming that I haven't just somehow been dodging like a boss in her training mode (since I lost 50/50 to the wrong maid 💀). Also big thanks for the damage calculation. I hope I can wrap my head around it to start theory crafting myself since I've loved this game since it was announced. Anyways, that's all. Take care of yourselves.
