Ether

Ether (and Auric Ink) are two of the ten attributes of Zenless Zone Zero.

Auric Ink

Auric Ink is an attribute unique to Agent Yixuan, a Grandmaster.

Auric Ink's Anomaly Buildup gauge is separate from Ether's, thus allowing Auric Ink's Corruption to cause Disorder with Ether's Corruption. Otherwise, Auric Ink is equivalent to Ether: it is affected by Ether modifiers (e.g., Ether DMG Bonus, Ether RES, weakness and resistance to Ether, etc.) and counts as Ether for Additional Abilities.

Dealing Auric Ink DMG to enemies accumulates Auric Ink Attribute Anomaly, which triggers the Corruption effect.
Targets attacked during Corruption take bonus Ether DMG intermittently.
Inflicting Corruption on enemies weak to Ether can interrupt their actions.
