Seed | Zenless Zone Zero

Overview

Seed partners with an Attack Vanguard, using mutual EX support to build toward Besiege. Steel Charge powers her Slaughter and Downfall sequence, tying her damage cycle to the teammate's activity.

Role

Electric dual-carry with an Attack Vanguard and Steel Charge burst.

Playstyle

Alternate useful EX windows between Seed and the Vanguard, build 120 Steel Charge, then route Slaughter into both Downfall stages.

Why It Works

The two EX buffs combine into Besiege, while Seed's active damage restores Energy to the Vanguard and supports another resource cycle.

Watch For

The Attack teammate with the highest initial ATK becomes Vanguard; active and off-field Energy spending follow different rules.

Playstyle

Combat Flow

Vanguard EX → Seed EX / mutual buffs → Reach 120 Steel Charge → Falling Petals: Slaughter → Two-stage Downfall → Return to Vanguard

Key Notes

Steel Charge caps at 150; the two Downfall stages consume 120 total.
Ultimate grants 60 Charge and can lead into the spending sequence.
Slaughter and Downfall do not generate Charge through their hits.
Bring a second Attack Agent for the defining Additional Ability.

Core Skill & Additional Ability

Core Passive: Flower Chain Protocol

The Attack teammate with the highest initial ATK is considered Seed's Vanguard. When the Vanguard unleashes an EX Special Attack, Seed gains Onslaught status, increasing Seed's ATK by 1,000 and CRIT DMG by 30%. When Seed unleashes an EX Special Attack, the Vanguard gains Direct Strike status, increasing the Vanguard's ATK by 1,000 and CRIT DMG by 30%. When Direct Strike and Onslaught are both active, Seed and the Vanguard simultaneously gain Besiege status, increasing DMG dealt by 25%. Onslaught, Direct Strike, and Besiege buffs can all take effect when the character is the current active character. When switching to inactive, the buffs remain until the character goes off-field or 3s after the switch. When the character returns to being the active character, the buffs re-activate. Upon entering the battlefield with a Vanguard, Seed immediately gains Onslaught status and Besiege status, while the Vanguard immediately gains Direct Strike status and Besiege status. Direct Strike and Onslaught status last for 40s, and repeated triggers refresh the duration. When the Vanguard consumes Energy as the active character or when Seed consumes Energy, for every 1 point of Energy consumed, Seed recovers 0.5 points of Steel Charge.

Additional Ability: Surprise Strike

When another Attack Character is in your squad: When Seed deals DMG as the active character, restore 2 Energy to the Vanguard. This effect can trigger once every 1s. Seed's Basic Attack: Falling Petals - Slaughter, Basic Attack: Falling Petals - Downfall, and Ultimate: Clockwork Garden - Bloom! deal 30% increased DMG and ignore 25% of enemy Electric RES.
