Zenless Zone Zero Potential System – Everything You Need To Know
What Is The Potential System
With the release of brand new Agents that shakes up the game’s meta like Ye Shunguang and Zhao, Zenless Zone Zero developers have created a way to allow older Agents in the game to get a decent boost in power to keep up with some of the other Agents in terms of usability and meta-relavancy in the form of the special Potential System.
The Potential System serves essentially as an additional Upgrade system for certain Agents in the game in a similar form to the Cinema system, where players can gain special Agents specific currencies to spend and unlock 6 different tiers of Potential, unlocking additional effects and abilities for the Agent’s skill kit. The higher the Potential Tier, the more potent the new effects will be for the Agents.
For Version update version 2.6, 2 Agents will be receiving their Potential effects: the S Rank Electric Attack Specialty Agent Harumasa and the S Rank Ice Stun Specialty Agent Von Lycaon
How To Obtain Potential Upgrading Materials
To unlock each tier of the Potential system for the Agents, players will need to spend 1000 Daily Performances, for a total of 6000 Daily Performances for all 6 Potential stages, which can be obtained from various sources by playing through the game:
– The usual and most effective way to obtain Daily Performances is through the Outpost shop, where players can spend currencies gained from Shiyu Defenses and Weekly Bosses challenges. A total of 2000 Daily Performances can be obtained through this every month.
– Another way to gain Daily Performances consistently is through the weekly rewards, where players will need to complete specific weekly missions to obtain weekly points and obtain rewards when reaching a certain point threshold. 1000 Daily Performances can be obtained through this method every week.
– The final way to obtain Daily Performances is through the Potential Try Out missions, where players will be able to try out the different Agents with their Potential active and gain 500 Daily Performances for each stage cleared. These rewards are one time only.

Buff Analysis
With their new buffs, both Harumasa and Von Lycaon have received amazing improvements in their overall usability, with both of their buffs massively improving how they operator on the battlefield:
– Harumasa’s buffs focuses on buffing his overall damage output by improving his numbers while also massively improve his gameplay, allowing players to use his EX Special Attack to instantly generate Electro Quivers for him to combo into his Dash attack, reducing the need to use his very delayed Hold Basic Attack to mark the enemies. Additionally, he also gain an additional instance of electric damage whenever he uses his Ultimate, helping to elevate this damage output further.
– Von Lycaon’s buff is a very significant one as it grants him the ability to act even when he is switched off field. When in this new state, instead of completely being switched off field, Lycaon will remain on field and attack the enemies alongside the on field character, inflicting damage and daze on enemies to help stun the enemies quickly. This makes it so that he can provide amazing utility to the team without having to take field time for himself. Additionally he also gain special Quick Assist ability, further reducing his on field time and allow the main DPS to do even more damage.
