Disk Drives

Guide

Disk Drives are a type of equipment in this game and serve the function of armor and accessories in a traditional RPG game - they're the equivalent of Relics from Honkai: Star Rail.

Here's a summary of information about the Disk Drives that we know so far:

  • Equipping Disk Drives to your Agents will provide them with a variety of stat increases from HP to ATK to CRIT,
  • Disk Drives will provide your Agents with the main bulk of their stat increases,
  • Each Agent can equip up to six Disc Drives,
    • Numbered in the game with the Roman numerals: I, II, III, IV, V, and VI (you can see it also on the image above),
  • Each Drive Disk has one base stat and up to 4 random sub-stats,
  • Equipping a required number (either 2 or 4) of Drive Disks belonging to the same set, will unlock Set Effects.

Stats

Guide
Main Stats

Each Disk Drive has one main stat and up to 4 sub-stats. Depending on the Disk Drive slot it fits in, the possible main stats are:

  • I - Flat HP
  • II - Flat ATK
  • III - Flat DEF
  • IV - HP%, ATK%, DEF%, CRIT Rate%, CRIT DMG%
  • V - HP%, ATK%, DEF%, PEN Ratio%, Attribute Mastery
  • VI - HP%, ATK%, DEF%, Anomaly Rate%, Energy Regen%, Impact%
Sub Stats

Disk Drives sub-stats are randomly generated, but they cannot be the same as the Disk Drives' main stat. The list of possible substats are:

  • Flat HP
  • Flat ATK
  • Flat DEF
  • HP%
  • ATK%
  • DEF%
  • Crit Rate%
  • Crit DMG%
  • PEN (flat)
  • Attribute Mastery
Upgrading Disk Drives

Disk Drives can also be leveled up to increase the main stat bonus, but the sub-stats are generated when you obtain the item (or when you enhance it) and they can't be changed. The maximum level of a Disk Drives is determined by its rarity which ranges from B to S rank. The higher the rarity of a Disk Drive, the higher the stats it will have at its base level and when upgraded.

Also, if the Disk Drive has fewer than 4 sub-stats, it gains a new random sub-stat. If the Disk Drive already has 4 sub-stats, a random sub-stat is increased by a random amount.

The table below shows the Disk Drive information in an easier form to read:

APurple+122-31-22-3
SGold+153-40-14-5

Set effects

Drive Disk also come in sets and equipping multiple Drive Disk from the same set will provide additional bonuses for the Agent. Compared to Honkai: Star Rail, the sets aren't split into two groups and they all have 2-piece and 4-piece bonus. Still, the game introduces a small twist on the sets, splitting them into two tiers:

  • Tier 1 sets (purple) are the beginner sets unlocked at the start of the game and they can only appear on B and A rank Disk Drives,
  • Tier 2 sets (gold) are unlocked at Account Level 30 and they are much stronger, but can only appear on A and S rank Disk Drives.

Below you can find a few examples of both sets:

Assassin's Ballad
(2)
10% ATK
(4)
Basic Attacks deal 20% more damage and an additional 12% upon defeating an enemy. This effect can stack up to 3 times and lasts for 15s. Repeated triggers reset the duration.
Noisy Pop
(2)
10% ATK
(4)
Damage dealt by Basic Attacks is increased by 15%.
Inferno Metal

(4)
Upon hitting a Burnt enemy, increase ATK by 40% for 6s.
Thunder Metal
(2)
10% Electric DMG
(4)
Upon hitting a Shocked enemy, the struck target takes 30% more damage for 6s. This effect does not stack.

How to obtain

The way of obtaining the Disk Sets is a bit different compared to Honkai: Star Rail where you would fight enemies in Caverns of Corrosion to obtain Relics. In Zenless Zone Zero the process was simplified and you 'gacha' for the Disk Drives.

  • You can use Plating Agents at the music store - Bardic Needle - to obtain new random Disc Drives,
    • You can obtain Plating Agents from Commissions that cost stamina,
  • Once your Account Level is high enough, the music store will level up, unlocking new features (including new Disk Sets you can obtain),
  • Tuning Orientation allows you to pick a set and increase its drop rate (check below images).
