Zenless Zone Zero: Ellen New Skills
This piece will look at the updated skill set for the S-Rank Agent, Ellen, in Zenless Zone Zero.
During their version 2.0 livestream, the developers behind Zenless Zone Zero announced that they will begin updating old units. This change can be seen as a way to boost older units so that they do not get lost in the sea of power creep and still keep them viable a long time after their release. The first unit that will receive such a buff is Ellen Joe, the first limited unit in ZZZ. Below, you can find details on how Ellen’s skills have changed and what you can expect.
Skill Changes
There are various changes to Ellen’s kit that will allow her to be more viable in the newer versions of the game. These changes will be known as Ellen’s [Potential], and you can either choose to have them available or not by interacting with a slider button on her skill’s interface. Below, you can find some of the changes and what they look like.
