Attack Type

Attack Type
Type	Combat Game Systems

Attack Type, previously called Fighting Style and rarely referred to as Hit Type, is a descriptor that indicates how an Agent performs their attacks.

Details

During the first beta period for Zenless Zone Zero, Version 0.13, Attack Type was the main metric for telling a player how an Agent would perform in battle, as Specialties did not exist at the time. During this version, an Agent's Attack Type would dictate how much Daze (then called "Stagger") they would deal to an enemy, with each attack type working better against a specific Enemy type:

• Slash countered Ethereals.
• Strike countered Machines.
• Pierce countered Organics.

In Version 0.3.0, Specialties would be released, replacing Attack Type as the main combat-performance metric; however, Attack Types remained in the game, albeit with very sparse information as to what they entailed or if they affected combat in any meaningful way.

Attack Types

Slash

The Agent specializes in dealing damage with Slash attacks.

These Agents fight using bladed melee weapons that can hit from close to mid-range. Some Agents with this Attack Type can deflect enemy projectiles in combat when dashing.
