Additional Ability Guide and How to Activate

Additional Abilities in Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ) are a character's core skill that depends on your team composition. Check out how to activate Additional Abilities in general and for each Agent, and how to view them here!

How to Activate Additional Abilities

Based on Team Composition

Additional Abilities are passive skills of Agents that can be activated depending on your team compositions. You can use this as a guide on how to build teams properly.

In most cases, an Agent will need to be in the the same team with someone of the same Attribute or Faction. You only need to meet one of these conditions to activate an Agent's Additional Ability.

Additional Ability Exceptions

Some characters like Zhu Yuan, Qingyi, and Jane are not as restrictive. Apart from a member of the same Faction, they are examples of Agents that only require teammates of a specific Specialty, regardless of Attribute.

For instance, Qingyi will only need an Attack unit in the party. Putting her in a Mono-Electric team with Rina and Grace will not activate her Additional Ability.

Use Game8's Team Builder Tool to Check Team Synergy!

If you don't want to go in-game and check for Additional Ability Synergies via Team Preview, you can use our Team Builder linked below! This tool highlights each synergy on the team, and it also recommends Agents with perfect synergies!
