Anomaly Mastery affects the efficiency of Anomaly Buildup.

Energy Regen influences the amount of Energy Agents recover per second in combat.

Energy Generation Rate affects the amount of Energy generated through Energy Regen and from hitting enemies.

Dealing Fire DMG to enemies accumulates Fire Anomaly Buildup, which triggers the Burn effect. Burn deals continuous Fire DMG for a period of time. Inflicting Burn on enemies weak to Fire can interrupt their actions.

Dealing Ice DMG to enemies accumulates Ice Attribute Anomaly, triggering the Freeze and Frostbite effects. Freeze immobilizes enemies, preventing them from taking action for a certain period.

Shatter is activated when Freeze ends, interrupting enemy movement and dealing Ice DMG. Frostbite increases the CRIT DMG taken by the target for a specified duration.

Dealing Electric DMG to enemies accumulates Electric Anomaly Buildup, which triggers the Shock effect.

Shock causes the target to intermittently suffer additional Electric DMG for a period of time when attacked. Inflicting Shock on enemies weak to Electric can interrupt their actions.

Dealing Physical DMG to enemies accumulates Physical Anomaly Buildup, which triggers the Assault and Flinch effects.

Assault interrupts the enemy and deals massive Physical DMG. Flinch increases the Daze the target takes for a period of time.

Dealing Ether DMG to enemies accumulates Ether Anomaly Buildup, which triggers the Corruption effect. Targets attacked during Corruption take bonus Ether DMG intermittently. Inflicting Corruption on enemies weak to Ether can interrupt their actions.

The Specialties (Attack, Stun, Defense, etc) in Zenless do a great job of helping to understand the general idea of what an Agent is best at. However, when taking a deeper look at Agent skills and team compositions, we felt they were lacking critical information to help better understand what an Agent is best at and how to use them.

It’s for this reason we created a set of terms to help everyone understand more about an Agent at a glance. These terms will be updated and evolve as our understanding of the game improves, and we hope you’ll find them useful and informative.

[Position Expertise]
This is the position and primary role that an agent has on a team. While it’s not required to have success, if you want to get the most out of your Agents, it’s best to play them to their strengths.

[Offensive Expertise]
These expertise relate directly to dealing Damage, Daze or Anomaly to the enemy.

[Support Expertise]
These expertise relate to enhancing and protecting your team.

[Mechanic Expertise]
These expertise relate to special or additional mechanics that an agent has access to, or should utilized to meet their full potential.

[Position Expertise] Field Agents are the characters you’ll spend most of your time playing. Optimally, you’ll only run one of these characters on a team. Field Agent’s contribution is best realized when they are on the field.

[Position Expertise] Swap Agents are characters you’ll spend less time playing directly. Optimally, you’ll run two of these characters on a team. A Swap Agent’s contribution is best realized when you switch to them to execute their skills, and then swap back to your Field Agent.
