Hello hello! I’m virtual YouTuber Luoluo, and this video will be about Zenless Zone Zero version 3.0.Free giftS-Class Ether-Attribute Assault Agent——PeloisComplete Guide to CultivationPelllois is actually the combat form of the protagonist “Phaethon.” The normally frail and weak Phaethon, who only retreats behind others when facing enemies, becomes incredibly cool once transformed into Pelllois. With silver armor and a great sword, his normal attacks are swift, enhanced special skills are fierce and powerful, movement speed is fast, attack range is wide, hit counts are numerous, and he also has super armor, E-skill parry, damage reduction and other mechanics. Overall, the feel is really quite good. In version 3.0, after completing the progression, all Operators can directly get 2+1 after the patch, which essentially provides you with the strength of a 0+1 limited S-rank Agent main DPS. So whether you’re a newbie lacking a main DPS for early game, or a veteran player struggling with Ether direct damage content, Pelllois is very much worth investing resources to build, giving you a powerful main DPS for tackling dangerous missions and grabbing those rewards.Lulu will also take you later to break down Peloyisi’s.Role positioning, skill mechanics, visual effects, audio engine and driversstyling suggestions,Team building strategyandDevelopment direction。

Character Roles and Brief Reviews
Pelos isS-rankEther propertiesAggressive Agent, belongs toPhaethonFaction. In terms of positioningStation Master CThe entire gameplay loop is quite classic—you maintain aggression during the non-stagger phase while quickly building up the special resource “Solar Flare” in combat, then once the stagger phase arrives, you hold your normal attack to consume Solar Flare and unleash burst damage.What makes Pelloys stand out is the ultimate skill system with four directional variants—Up, Down, Left, and Right—each with different effects. Whether it’s applying buffs at the start of a match, bursting during the stagger phase, or landing the finishing blow, it’s all handled by this system. The gameplay rhythm is extremely clear, and there’s even a directional variant that serves as foreshadowing for future characters. Additionally, the character has plenty of super armor and invincibility frames during actual combat, combined with fast movement, making it accessible even for beginners.
Skill Mechanics Analysis
Mechanism Energy: Solar Prominence
First, look at the core mechanism energy of Perlois, called “solar prominence“The whole thing is divided into two sections, 30 points per section, upper limit”60 points。The main methods of accumulating solar prominences are as follows: PeloyesStart with 30 pointsthen combined with attacks, it will automatically recover 0.5 points per second, which is a lower efficiency but stable fallback mechanism; additionally, you can also throughNormal Attack, Special Skill, Chain SkillWhen any attack hits to build up Solar Prominence, among whichNormal attackMost efficient, each set can accumulate over 10 points.
Normal Attack: Afterglow/Daylight
Peloys’s normal attacks are his main source of damage, with a total of 3 hits.From then on, whenever Solar Flare accumulates 30 points and you see the energy bar glow golden, you canLong press for normal attackUnleash a special combo called “Heavenly Light”.The first two parts have fairly ordinary pacing and are slightly dragging, but the last two parts not only…invincibility frames, with a total magnification as high as2300%As such, it is also one of Peloyce’s core damage-dealing moves.
Besides, when typing outEnhanced Special Skill, Chain Skill, UltimateAfter that, long-press the normal attack to skip the first 2 phases and directly execute the last 2 phases of Tianguang—this is the most important damage compression technique during the burst window.And if you hold to execute a normal attack…Paragraph 3During this process, you can cut in with other agents. You probably cut in when you see Pelois flash and a bunch of sword lights crossing at this frame. Pelois will continue completing the 4th segment of the light sword attack in the background, so this is also a quite suitable timing point for combo utilization.
Enhanced Special Skill: Rihua
After activation, the enhanced special technique rushes forward to deal multiple hits of ether attribute damage, while the main character also provides supplementary fire from the side. If activated at the exact moment an enemy attacks, it can triggerPerfect Block。Therefore, during actual combat, when you encounter a red or yellow indicator and have sufficient energy, just tap the enhanced special skill to intercept it, and then…Long press normal attackcan also be connected to 天光Third attack。Also, after activating the sub-branch ultimate, you’ll alsoReply 10 points solar prominenceSo aside from regular attacks, you should also actively use enhanced special skills to build up guard stacks for Solar Flare.
Finisher: Quad-Branch Ultimate
Pelois’ ultimate is the most unique part of the entire move design. As long as the Resonance Value reaches2000, after launching, you can pressarrow keysChoose one branch form to cast. There will be a countdown timer when selecting. If you switch to another branch before the countdown ends, the countdown will reset. If you haven’t selected a branch before time runs out, it will directly cast using the currently selected branch. Each branch is followed byLong press normal attackwill all directly followThe third stage attack of “Tenguang”。
Upper Branch: Massacre
The function of the upper branch is mainly used inOutbreak during the imbalance periodthe main means。The base multiplier is slightly lower than the left and right branches, but after triggering the core skill effect, you can also directly obtain it.30-point solar prominenceand enter “heat haze」status, lasting 21 seconds, afterwards allowing the Burst toUnbalanced enemyofBurst damage increased by 40%Furthermore, the upper branch followed by a charged basic attack can also deal a total exceeding4100% multiplierthe burst combo – as long as your Solar Flare is full at this point, after using the main branch ultimate, keep holding the normal attack, and you can continuously land hitsCut off twice。
Sub-branch: Path to Victory
The lower branch’s base damage multiplier is the lowest among the four branches, and it usually mainly servesFor buffing at game startCombined with the core skill effect, as long as you cast it, you can gain up to200 secondsthe flare state,You can then obtain40% bonus damage, 15% energy regenerationand when the enhanced E triggers a perfect blockReply: 10 o’clock solar prominenceAnd since it lasts 200 seconds, you usually only need to apply the buff once at the start.Unlock combos2 strokesAfter that, using the lower branch’s ultimate will also restore1500 Resonance Value。
Right Branch: Forever Trapped in Dark Imprisonment
The right branch has the highest base damage multiplier among the 4 branches, primarily used during the stagger phase to land the finishing blow. The effect triggers something similar to Hugo’s when hitting a staggered enemy.Financial settlementand immediately end the imbalance period. Combined with the core skill effect, Pelouis’s Final Settlement will additionally cause2250% Attack Powerthe damage, and the final damage won’t be affected by how much time remains on the Imbalance. So Peloyace’s settlement works in the opposite way to Hugo’s—Hugo’s earlier settlement is better, while for Peloyace it is…The later the settlement, the betterMoreover, even if the enemy’s stagger time is only 0.01 seconds, after a hit through the right branch, it will stillExtend the 3-second imbalance periodGuaranteed damage output, meaning it strongly encourages you to maximize your damage.
Left Branch: Unfettered Blade Style
The multiplier for the left branch isn’t bad either, but it’s barely used at the moment because it requires heavy hits to land on…DyeingEnemies with [status], when paired with the core skill effect, will additionally deal900% Attack PowerharmSo we need to wait until there’s something in the futureWind attribute direct damageorWind Element Breaker Agentwill be used. Simply put, the timing and purpose of the four ultimate ability branches are very clear: start by attacking at the beginningSub-branchApply buffs during the stagger windowupper branchFull tube solar prominence erupts, period of imbalance is about to end, useright branchFinalize the maximum calculations. The left branch just needs to wait for future new agents to appear, then we’ll develop the gameplay mechanics.
Combo Skill: Marching Honor Guard
Combo skills don’t just deal damage—more importantly, each use also restores.300 Resonance PointsTherefore, combo skills are also an important way to replenish your ultimate gauge, and you should try to deal as much damage as possible during the imbalance phase.If the selected partner is the little sister, Pelois hugs her when performing a chain skill. If the selected partner is the big brother, Pelois doesn’t hug him—instead, they fight back to back together. The animation differs slightly.
Extra Ability: Glorious Legion
The trigger condition for the extra ability is having in the teamDefeatorSupportAgent, post-trigger PeloisCritical damage increased by 40%，Residentand restores HP to the user when a combo skill is activated300 Resonance PointsThis allows Perolis to trigger 2 enhanced special attacks with just one stagger, so remember to bring a breaker or support agent when building your team.
Practical techniques
The strategy for Peloyis is actually quite clear: accumulate Solar Flare resources during the balanced phase, and go all-out during the imbalanced phase.Double link attacks + Double ultimates + 2 hold normal attack combos。The process is to just start directlybottom branch ultimate abilityCast the 200-second “Flare” BUFF,Then focus on on-field normal attacks. When red or yellow light appears, use charged E frequently if you have enough energy to counter it, which quickly recovers your Prominence. When Prominence is about to overflow but the enemy hasn’t staggered yet, use charged normal attacks to burn some of it off. When you see Perlices/Phanes…The fleeting instant it flickers and fadesYou can also switch to teammates for chain attacks. When near the stun window, wait until Flare’s meter is as full as possible, then pair with other agents to trigger the disruption. After landing the double chain attacks, activateUpper branch ultimatereceiveLong press normal attackExecute 2 sets of lightsaber combo moves, and you can also weave in a skill in between the 2 sets. For example, when paired with Nicole, activate it right before the stagger is about to end.Right branch ultimateThe books are closed, and the cycle begins anew.
Skill upgrade order
Pelois mainly relies onUltimateandNormal attackOutput, so prioritize adding pointsCore skill, finisher, normal attackMax them out fully. If you have enough hamster cages, you can also level them all to 12. Second, this is used for returning to the solar flare.Enhanced Special SkillNext are the support skills that are occasionally used, and finally, dodging.
The Influence of Film
Next is the shadow painting effect influence of Peloyce. Currently, the game only offersThe first 2 moviesSo currently2+1Only Pelois makes it complete; the effects for Image 4 and 6 haven’t been officially announced yet, so we need to wait for future version releases.
Image 1
The effect of Shadow Image 1 is that Peloys directly obtains upon entering battle.1000 Resonance ValuePaired with its built-in 1000 resonance points, which is enough to immediately activate the sub-branch ultimate at the start and apply the buff first, andCritical rate increased by 8%with its exclusive weapon20% critical hitThe panels are approximately stacked to 72%Then you can max out the crit.
Shadow Art 2
Shadow Image 2 restores when activating a sub-branch ultimate skill1500 Resonance Points(180s cooldown), and the resonance cap is increased1000 pointsThis works out perfectly for the stagger phase where you can use your ultimate twice. So after 2 frames, the main focus is tosolar prominenceandResonance ValueMaxing it out before the imbalance period, rather than being a shadow, is more like an extended innate talent of the self.
Visual Effects Recommendations
Since Perlois is a free character, both the base form and shadow can be obtained by progressing through the game. Producer Zhenyu also mentioned that you’ll be able to get 6-star and 5-star copies gradually later on. So after the patch, you can just finish the main story and promote directly.2 strokesThat’s right, these two shadow cards mainly ensure sufficient resources and smoother rotations. As for the upcoming 4-star and 6-star shadows, we’ll have to wait and see their actual effects after they’re officially implemented.

Team composition
Team composition strategy
Pelois’s team-building strategy isPelois (Main C) + Breaker/Support + Third characterRemember that your team must have a breaker or support agent to trigger their extra ability effect.If you’re a newbie who just started, you can directly join a team.Amber + NicoleYou can just tear through the story and most of the hard content, and once you get 2 constellations and the signature weapon, plus some optimization on the drive set, this build can push into 20k score in Critical Events, making it a perfect guide character. In this actual run, since Roro only has 0 constellations, the warm-up phase takes longer, but even so, you’re already close to 20k score against the Twins with nearly 200M HP.For veteran craftspeople who have trained to a certain level, they are better equipped to assemble the recommended team composition, making the support role the top priority.耀嘉音Provides multiple universal direct damage buffs, and can also grant extra combo skills after using the burst, helping Pelois recover more Resonance; Drive SelectionJia Yin 4-piece set + Energy Regeneration 2-piece set, position 4 attack, position 5 attack, position 6 energy or attack.

Driver selectionMoonlight 4-piece set + Energy Recovery 2-piece set4th attack, 5th attack, 6th energy. If you’re more confident in your execution and team timing, the current Yao Jia Yin + Peloys + Nico lineup is one of the better options for pushing high scores.
Recommended burst spotsJufufuMainly, it allows Pelois’s resonance cap to be directly pushed to 5000, and after releasing the ultimate, it restores 300 resonance. Plus, it’s an off-field automatic breaker, so for casual players, you just need to focus on keeping Pelois on-field and dealing damage. The overall rotation is very smooth. For drive selection…Mountain King 4-piece set + Shock 2-piece setSlot 4: crit rate/attack, slot 5: attack, slot 6: crit damage or attack. Base attack 3400, crit rate 50%.Other options also include such asRion, Triger, Qingyisuch break effects, just pairing with agents like Trigger or Qingyi, from the second round of imbalance in dangerous battles the response might become insufficient, at which point you’d mainly use the upper branch ultimate with crit damage bonus and forgo the right branch ultimate. Finally, the second half of 3.0…NormIt’s also highly anticipated, since the preview already described how her mechanics can provide additional combo skills while also summoning turrets in the backline to deal supplementary damage, making her a perfect match for Peroleth who relies on combo skills to restore Echo value.
Is Pellois worth leveling?
Finally summarizing whether Peloys is worth leveling, as a free gifted character, as long as you are…Newcomerorreturning playereven nowA rope craftsman with a relatively shallow boxLuo Luo is highly recommended to invest in. A 0+1 Pelois alone can let a brand new account breeze through story content, Assault Missions, and Endurance Battles. Even if you’re starting with an A-rank 4-piece Drive set, or your main and sub-stats aren’t fully optimized, it can hold up fine in early game. Once you pull for 2 copies, paired with a fully optimized Drive set and signature weapon, even with just Xiao Anby and Nicole—both A-rank characters—you can easily hit 20,000 points in Danger Zone. It’s basically a one-size-fits-all solution.Welcome package。Although in terms of strength positioning, Peloise is currently only available up to level 2, the strength of 2+1 has roughly reached that of0+0~0+1Limited S-Classcenter stagePairing this with the earlier Yaopeini team lineup, there’s even a chance to squeeze out a higher score than a 0+1 Master Yixuan.Plus, the exclusive weapon matches the limited S-rank stat model with 713 attack power, and the 4th and 6th paintings that haven’t been unlocked yet, there’s still room for improvement down the line, and it’s free.As an old player, if your direct Ether damage setup is already relatively weak, Belobog can also directly serve as an Ether main DPS that can hold the field, execute finishers, and has great team rotation feel. It’s free anyway, so there’s no reason not to claim and build them. Plus, factoring in the left branch’s ultimate skill, it feels very likely there will be new Agents that can pair well with them. No idea who that might be though. So hard to guess.
That wraps up the character cultivation guide for Belle from Zenless Zone Zero. Thanks for watching till the end. I’m virtual YouTuber LuluRuo, and I’ll see you next time!
