Additional Tips

Pre-farming for an upcoming character is a strategic move a user can make to gain an advantage on the debut day. This early progression lets the player know their own rankings in endgame content like Hollow Zero Raids and more. In addition to collecting these resources, players who wish to go beyond this to upgrade their agent can consider a Zenless Zone Zero top up to maximise their mid-game efficiency. The best platform to make the top-up is LDShop, it lets players top up for less and it is a great way to save money.

Conclusion

Pre-farming for Hugo Vlad in Zenless Zone Zero is a strategic move that will allow the player base to use the maximum potential of this upcoming Agent on his debut day. By securing essential materials like Freeze Chips, Finale Dance Shoes, and more, one can efficiently upgrade the unit. Hugo’s strong damage output will make him a powerhouse for the players who are going to pull for him.
