Seed Agent Overview
Zenless Zone Zero Seed is a Mecha Girl–style agent who makes her grand debut in v2.2 Phase 1 as an S-Rank Electric Attack character and the artillery expert of the Obol Squad. She thrives on her Overheat mechanics and a distinctive Partner System that links her up with the teammate who has the highest ATK.
When her partner uses an EX Special Attack, Seed gains ATK and CRIT DMG buffs. Simultaneously, she restores the partner's energy and also boosts their damage output in return.

ZZZ Seed build stands out as a beginner-friendly character with her high burst damage and straightforward mechanics, which make early-game progression a breeze for players. Her combat flair includes her dramatic entry on her scooter, where she crushes mecha punches and delivers high burst damage without overcomplicated combinations. New players are picking her because of her simplicity and style.
You may be surprised to know that Seed isn't just limited to the carry role. She is super flexible and can function as a sub-DPS who offers valuable buffs to her allies. Her Core Skill is impressive, as it unlocks true dual-DPS synergy. Furthermore, it allows her to pair perfectly with characters like Orphie from the second-half banner for some devastating tag-team damage.
Seed Mechanics
Below is a breakdown of Seed build ZZZ's unique combat mechanics to help you understand what makes her such a dynamic Electric DPS:
| Mechanic | Description |
|---|---|
| Dual Attack Agent | Seed links with the Attack teammate, which is referred to as Seed's Vanguard. When either uses an EX Special Attack, Seed gains Onslaught, and the Vanguard gains Direct Strike status. This boosts ATK and CRIT DMG for both. Also, when both buffs are active, an extra DMG bonus kicks in. |
| Charged Punk Attack | All the attacks of Seed make up the Steel Charge. Seed triggers a massive Electric AoE attack by stacking on the Steel Charge from Basic Attacks, Dodge Counter, Quick Assist, or Assist Follow-Up. Entering flight mode with EX Special Attack and consuming 60 60-energy Seed can also auto-trigger the charged punk attack. |
| Unique Combat Style | Players can smoothly switch between Seed's human mode with normal attacks and mecha mode with charged attacks using Basic, Chain, or Special Attacks. |
Pros and Cons
Like every agent, Zenless Zone Zero Seed comes with strengths and weaknesses:
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
