New role analysis

1. Seed - the electric bomber of the mecha artillery

Rarity: S

Weapon Type: Attack

Attribute: Electric

Positioning: Mecha artillery, high group damage

Seed is the first new character in version 2.2, affiliated with Squad Obor. Her design is very unique, and it is fought with a blue-haired girl with her mecha. Her skills emphasize high-frequency artillery bombardment and first-person shooting in the ultimate form, bringing a new operating experience.

Core mechanism:

Normal attack and skills are used to cover attacks through mecha artillery fire, which is suitable for group combat.

The ultimate skill enters FPS mode, using mecha cannons to pour out firepower, causing a destructive blow to a large-scale enemy.

The coordination with other aftershock characters needs to be optimized, and currently only some skills can trigger aftershock linkage.

Player suggestions:

If the skill label is officially adjusted in the future and more attacks are classified as aftershocks, Seed's value in the dual-attack lineup will be significantly improved. It is recommended to prepare her training materials in advance to ensure that the team can be formed as soon as possible after it is launched.

2. Orphie - Fire attribute aftershock core

Rarity: S

Weapon Type: Attack

Attribute: Fire

Positioning: Aftershock off-field output

Orphie, as an S-level character who appeared in the second half of 2.2, can be regarded as a key puzzle of the FUA (Follow-Up Attack) system.

Core mechanism:

The skills enhance the damage of aftershocks, and most attacks can be classified as aftershock attacks.

It works great with Anby (Soldier No. 0): Anby serves as the main C, providing critical damage bonus; Orphie stably outputs aftershock damage off-field.

It is necessary to have a Stuner (stun character) in the team to fully trigger additional damage-increasing effects, so it is recommended to pair it with Trigger.

Player suggestions:

Orphie’s strength and mechanics make her a regular member of the FUA team. For players who want to build the core team of Aftershocks, she is almost a must-draw character.

Replay the character

1. Trigger - the strongest electric system stun assist

Rarity: S

Attribute: Electric

Positioning: Aftershock assist, field control and damage increase

Trigger is known as the strongest "plug and play assist" in ZZZ. Her Harmonic Shooting can automatically trigger aftershock attacks when teammates attack, bringing high stun and team damage increase effects.

Advantages:

Very adaptable and can enter almost any team.

High-frequency aftershock triggering provides the entire team with space for continuous explosion.

When paired with Orphie and Anby, it can maximize the damage cycle of the aftershock team.

If you missed the previous card pool, this replay is a great opportunity.

2. Evelyn - the main force of fire attribute chain explosion

Rarity: S

Attribute: Fire

Positioning: explosion type master C

Evelyn's unique mechanism lies in her burning embers and burning bondage. She can explode huge amounts of damage in the stun window and create devastating combos through precise skill cycles.

Player impression:

The operation is moderately difficult, but the output ability is extremely stable after proficiency.

Almost irreplaceable in the fire attribute team.

When paired with Orphie, a dual fire system can be formed to further enhance explosive power.

Brand new driver disk

This version has added two new sets of core driver disks:

Blooming Dawn (main attack type)

2 items: Normal attack damage increased by 15%.

4 items: After using EX skill or ultimate skill, further increase the normal attack damage by 25% for 25 seconds.

Adaptable role: Seed

Moonlight lullaby (auxiliary type)

2 pieces: Energy regeneration is increased by 20%.

4 items: When the assistant character releases skills, the team's damage is increased by 20% for 20 seconds.

Adaptable role: Trigger

These two sets of driver disks have further improved the output and auxiliary equipment system, and players are advised to give priority to flashing.

New Bangboo

1. Mrecury (S-class)

Attribute: Fire

Features: Can summon fire-breathing tanks and even fire themselves into shells.

Passive skills: You need teammates in the same camp to activate additional effects.

2. Excaliboo (Level A | Free to get)

Attributes: Physics

Skill: Try to draw a sword, which will hammer the enemy when you fail, and cause high damage if you succeed.

Team Passive: When there are cracked characters in the team, you will surely draw the sword and increase the damage by 30%.

Summarize

The ZZZ 2.2 version is full of sincerity:

Seed brings a new mecha bombardment gameplay.

Orphie became the key puzzle for the aftershock team.

Trigger's return gives newbies the opportunity to supplement the strongest support.

Evelyn continues to consolidate the status of fire attribute burst output.

The new driver disk and Bangboo also make the team more flexible.

For players, this is a version update that combines strength and fun. If you're a fan of the Aftershocks or Fires, the 2.2 banner is undoubtedly worth investing in resources.
