Damage

Damage, often abbreviated as DMG, is dealt when a character or enemy attacks its target.

There are two types of DMG in Zenless Zone Zero, Standard DMG and Attribute Anomaly DMG, which have different methods of calculation.

General Formula

Standard DMG

Standard DMG is dealt directly by agent skills.

${\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}{\text{DMG}}_{\text{Standard}}={}&{\text{Base DMG}}_{\text{Attacker}}\times {\text{DMG Bonus Multiplier}}_{\text{Attacker}}\times {\text{CRIT Multiplier}}_{\text{Attacker}}\\&\times {\text{DEF Multiplier}}_{\text{Target}}\times {\text{RES Multiplier}}_{\text{Target}}\\&\times {\text{DMG Taken Multiplier}}_{\text{Target}}\\&\times {\text{Stunned Multiplier}}_{\text{Target}}\end{aligned}}}$

Attribute Anomaly DMG

Attribute Anomaly DMG is dealt when triggering Burn, Shock, Corruption, Shatter, Assault, or Disorder.

${\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}{\text{DMG}}_{\text{Attribute Anomaly}}={}&{\text{Anomaly Base DMG}}_{\text{Attacker}}\\&\times {\text{Anomaly Proficiency Multiplier}}_{\text{Attacker}}\times {\text{Anomaly Level Multiplier}}_{\text{Attacker}}\\&\times {\text{DMG Bonus Multiplier}}_{\text{Attacker}}\\&\times {\text{DEF Multiplier}}_{\text{Target}}\times {\text{RES Multiplier}}_{\text{Target}}\\&\times {\text{DMG Taken Multiplier}}_{\text{Target}}\\&\times {\text{Stunned Multiplier}}_{\text{Target}}\end{aligned}}}$

Multiplier Details

Base DMG

${\displaystyle {\text{Base DMG}}={\text{Ability Multiplier}}\times {\text{Stat}}}$

• The stat that determines Base DMG is always ATK unless otherwise stated.

DMG Bonus Multiplier

${\displaystyle {\text{DMG Bonus Multiplier}}=1+{\text{Total DMG Bonus}}}$

• DMG Bonus may be specific to an Attribute, a type of skill, a type of attack type (e.g. Slash, Strike, Pierce), or other conditions. Different sources of DMG Bonus are calculated additively.

CRIT Multiplier

${\displaystyle \text{CRIT Multiplier} = \begin{cases} 1 + \text{CRIT DMG} & \text{if attack scores a CRIT hit}\\ 1 & \text{otherwise}\\ \end{cases}}$

${\displaystyle {\text{CRIT Multiplier}}_{\text{Average}}=1+{\text{CRIT Rate}}\times {\text{CRIT DMG}}}$

DEF Multiplier

${\displaystyle {\text{DEF Multiplier}}={\frac {{\text{Level Factor}}_{\text{Attacker}}}{\max(({\text{DEF}}_{\text{Target}}\times (1-{\text{PEN Ratio}}_{\text{Attacker}})-{\text{PEN}}_{\text{Attacker}}),0)+{\text{Level Factor}}_{\text{Attacker}}}}}$

• Enemy DEF at level 1 is usually between 36 and 60. They have the same growth pattern as the Level Factor.

RES Multiplier

${\displaystyle {\text{RES Multiplier}}=1-{\text{RES}}_{\text{Target}}+{\text{RES Reduction}}_{\text{Target}}+{\text{RES Ignore}}_{\text{Attacker}}}$

DMG Taken Multiplier

${\displaystyle {\text{DMG Taken Multiplier}}=1+{\text{DMG Taken Increase}}_{\text{Target}}-{\text{DMG Taken Reduction}}_{\text{Target}}}$

• DMG Taken is not to be confused with DMG Bonus. Despite similar in-game wordings, DMG Bonus effects are applied to the attacker, while DMG Taken effects are applied to the target.

Stunned Multiplier

• The Stunned Multiplier varies by enemy, and the value can be seen under the enemy's Daze bar when they are Stunned.

Anomaly Base DMG

${\displaystyle {\text{Anomaly Base DMG}}={\text{Anomaly Multiplier}}\times {\text{ATK}}}$ (in parentheses, the proc count)

Attribute Anomaly	Anomaly Multiplier
Burn	50% (x20)
Shock	125% (x10)
Corruption	62.5% (x20)
Shatter	500%
Assault	713%

• Disorder occurs when a new Attribute Anomaly replaces an existing one. The Anomaly Multiplier of Disorder depends on the type of Anomaly that has been replaced as well as the amount of time that has passed (in seconds) since its application.

Previous Anomaly	Anomaly Multiplier (Disorder)
Burn	${\displaystyle 450\%+floor((10-{\text{Time Passed}})\times 2)\times 50\%}$
Shock	${\displaystyle 450\%+floor(10-{\text{Time Passed}})\times 125\%}$
Corruption	${\displaystyle 450\%+floor((10-{\text{Time Passed}})\times 2)\times 62.5\%}$
Frozen	${\displaystyle 450\%+floor(10-{\text{Time Passed}})\times 7.5\%}$
Flinch	${\displaystyle 450\%+floor(10-{\text{Time Passed}})\times 7.5\%}$

Anomaly Proficiency Multiplier

${\displaystyle {\text{Anomaly Proficiency Multiplier}}={\text{Anomaly Proficiency}}\times 0.01}$

Anomaly Level Multiplier

${\displaystyle {\text{Anomaly Level Multiplier}}=1+{\frac {1}{59}}\times ({\text{Level}}-1)}$

• Anomaly Level Multiplier is truncated to 4 decimal places.
