Ascension Materials are level-cap breakers in Zenless Zone Zero. When you upgrade an Agent, W-Engine, or Bangboo by ten levels, you hit a cap that stops further progress. To surpass this limit, you need specific Ascension Materials. The quantity and type of these items vary as you continue to level up your characters and equipment.

All Agent Ascension Materials
