In Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ), New Eridu may be a city on the brink of another Hollow disaster, but it’s not without its adorable (and surprisingly effective) allies: Bangboos. These pint-sized AI companions are more than just cute mascots. They’re tactical game-changers that can elevate your combat prowess in the treacherous Hollows.
So, you’ve assembled your squad of formidable Agents. Now, it’s time to find the perfect Bangboo to round out your team. But with a diverse roster available, how do you choose the right one? Fear not, intrepid Hollow diver, for this guide will equip you with the knowledge to find your ideal Bangboo companion.
The Essence of Bangboos
Bangboos are essentially little robot assistants utilised in the world of ZZZ. You can find them as NPCs helping around in the shop or even as combat companions that can dish out damage and buff your team. These combat bamboos are on a different level than the NPC ones. Forget stereotypical pets. These Bangboos are miniature powerhouses packed with unique skills. They offer a range of passive buffs, from enhancing your Agents’ stats to triggering devastating Chain Attacks. They can even provide crucial healing or battlefield control, turning the tide of a fight.
The key to unlocking their full potential lies in understanding their synergy with your Agents. Consider your team composition: are you running a high-damage combo or a more defensive strategy? Do your Agents favor elemental attacks or physical prowess?
Choosing Your Bangboo Companion
Here are some Bangboo standouts to consider based on their strengths:
For the Offensive Powerhouse:
- Electroboo: Zaps enemies with continuous lightning strikes, perfect for DPS-focused teams. Also boosts Anomaly Buildup on Bangboo Chain Attacks when you have at least two Electric attribute Agents in your team.
- Sharkboo: Plants a homing trap that can deal Ice DMG when triggered by enemies, ideal for Ice damage compositions. Also boosts Anomaly Buildup on Bangboo Chain Attacks when you have at least two Ice attribute Agents in your team.
For the Strategic Support:
- Butler: Gives a snack that will generate Energy for the Agent who consumes it. Also generates extra energy when there are two or more Victoria Housekeeping Co characters in your team.
- Resonaboo: Boosts Anomaly Buildup on Bangboo Chain Attacks when you have at least two Ether attribute Agents in your team.
For the Chain Attack Master:
- Rocketboo: Rides a rocket that flies toward the target, dealing Fire DMG. Also boosts Anomaly Buildup on Bangboo Chain Attacks when you have at least two Fire attribute Agents in your team.
- Luckyboo: Unleashes a barrage of golden coins dealing Physical DMG and Physical Anomaly Buildup. Boosts Anomaly Buildup on Bangboo Chain Attacks when you have at least two Physical attribute Agents in your team.
Acquiring Your Bangboo Buddy
So, you’ve learned about the incredible abilities Bangboos can bring to your team. Now, let’s talk about how to get your hands on these adorable powerhouses.
If pulling for Agents and W-Engines require Monochromes, Bangboos require their own currency called Boopons. This means you won’t have to compete for resources and can focus on building your ideal Bangboo collection.
Once you’ve amassed a decent amount of Boopons, it’s time to start building your Bangboo team. You can pull for Bangboos in the Signal Search menu. A unique feature of the Bangboo system is the ability to select the specific S-Rank Bangboo you want to pull for. This targeted approach allows you to focus on getting the Bangboo that best complements your team.
How to Earn Boopons
There are several ways to accumulate Boopons:
- Conquer the Hollows: As you progress through the game and tackle Hollow Zero, you’ll be rewarded with Boopons.
- Shop Till You Drop: The Bangbuck Exchange shop offers Boopons as a purchasable item.
- Level Up Your Battlepass: Progressing through the New Eridu City Fund battle pass will also grant you Boopons.
- Event Rewards: Keep an eye out for events, as they often include Boopons as rewards.
Master the Hollows with Bangboo Power
Don’t underestimate the power of these pint-sized prodigies. With a well-chosen Bangboo by your side, you’ll be well on your way to conquering the Hollows and unraveling the secrets of New Eridu. So, delve into the diverse Bangboo roster, experiment with their abilities, and find the perfect one to complete your unstoppable Zenless Zone Zero squad!
