How to Do Perfect Assists and Parries

In Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ), Perfect Assists can be done by switching to another Agent to parry an enemy attack right before it hits. Check out how to do Perfect Assists and Parries, and things to remember when doing a Perfect Assist!

How to Do Perfect Assists and Parries

Obtain Assist Points

Before you can perform a Perfect Assist, you must first have at least one Assist Point available. This can be obtained by triggering Chain Attacks.

Check the lit up segments around the Switch Agent button to know how many Assist Points you currently have. You can only have up to three Assist Points ready.

Switch to an Agent Right Before an Attack Hits

How to Switch for a Perfect Assist
Switch Agent (right before an attack hits)	RB (Xbox)

To perform a Perfect Assist, tap on the Switch Agent button right before an enemy attack hits.

If done correctly, you will switch to your next character who will parry or dodge the attack, called Defensive Assist and Evasive Assist, respectively.

Defensive Assist	Next character performs a parry
Evasive Assist	Next character dodges the attack

Wait for a Flash of Light to Appear

Certain enemies will emit a flashing yellow or orange light before performing an attack. Use this as a visual cue to switch to a different Agent at the right time to perform a Perfect Assist.

Ally Will Perfect Dodge Without Assist Points

Attempting to perform a Perfect Assist without an Assist Point will have your next character perform a Perfect Dodge instead.

Launch an Assist Follow-Up

After triggering either a Defensive or an Evasive Assist, you can press the Basic Attack or Special Attack button to launch another attack called Assist Follow-Up.
