New Outfits

New Attribute: Aerial
Version 2.8 of Zenless Zone Zero will introduce a new attribute: Aerial. This brings with it a new combat mechanic called Turbulence. When an enemy is afflicted with the Aerial Anomaly status, applying other Attribute Anomalies will trigger Turbulence instead of Dysfunction, dealing area-of-effect Anomaly damage based on the corresponding attribute.
You’ll be able to face a “wind” enemy in the new themed event, “Marcel’s Butopia.”
