Starting "Zenless Zone Zero" can feel overwhelming, especially for players expecting a traditional role-playing progression system. Unlike many action RPGs where characters gain experience directly from defeating enemies, HoYoverse's urban fantasy title uses a material-based upgrade system that rewards exploration, missions, and strategic resource management.
Understanding how character leveling, Inter-Knot Level, W-Engines, and other progression systems work early on can make the journey through New Eridu much smoother.
