Unlocking Exclusive Skin Effects in ZZZ

To unlock Exclusive Skin effects for Zenless Zone Zero characters, you’ll need to have an Agent’s designated W-Engine equipped. Then, make sure the switch below it is toggled upwards to be enabled, as circled in the image above. Although, you can select the corresponding control to disable it if you wish.

Then, each character’s Skin Effect will activate when pulling off their Ultimate or EX Special Attack. Every Agent’s Skin Effect is different. Some are more subtle or noticeable than others.

For example, Anby, when having her signature Demara Battery II W-Engine equipped, will have her hair glow after executing her EX Special & Ultimate, though it’s only an ever so slightly brighter hue than it normally is. Nicole’s on the other hand, is far more eye-catching with her hair being a much more vivid pink than most of the time.
