Zenless Zone Zero's RPG elements make it crucial for players to understand each Stat in order for them to plan their combat strategy accordingly. Among the various novel Stats in the game, one, known as Impact, tends to particularly confuse newbies.

Many Zenless Zone Zero players want to know precisely what this ability does and how it affects an Agent’s performance. As such, this guide explores every aspect of the Impact effect, explaining how to improve it and identifying which Agents have the highest potential to become your primary Impact inflicters.

What Does Impact Do In Zenless Zone Zero?

In Zenless Zone Zero, Impact is a base stat that enhances the Daze accumulation ratio. Agents with higher Impact effects can stun enemies faster because their basic and special attacks replenish the Daze gauge more quickly.

By default, each Agent’s strikes and projectiles accumulate Daze points, which stun the enemy when they reach a specific amount. A Dazed (or stunned) enemy is immobilized for a few seconds, becoming more vulnerable to chained attacks. The Impact Effect accelerates this entire process.

Each Impact stat point contributes a small percentage to Daze buildup, which allows for more frequent stuns in combat.

If the early free Agents you unlocked don’t have impressive Impact Stats, use the Zenless Zone Zero reroll guide to improve your odds.

How To Enhance Impact In Zenless Zone Zero

There are two ways to improve an Agent’s Impact in Zenless Zone Zero: Getting specific Core Skill Enhancements or unlocking specific W-Engines.

Unlock Core Skill Enhancements

Characters with higher Impact potential often achieve higher base Impact stats when you unlock their E Core Skill Enhancement. This skill can improve the overall ratio for the Impact effect of the Agent in question. However, you should note that Core Skill Enhancements are prerequisite-dependent. So, in order to achieve Core Skill Enhancement E, you must unlock A, B, C, and D in advance, and doing so will take some time.

You can unlock the first Core Skill Enhancement (A) once you reach level 15 with the Agent.

Unlock And Enhance W-Engines

W-Engines are combat-enhancing pieces of equipment that buff the base and advanced stats of Agents. Certain models, like the Demora Battery Mark 2, also increase the equipper’s Impact Effect. This improvement is in percentage, not stat points. Enhancing a W-Engine can boost its stats, leading to an increase in Impact Ratio.
