All Ellen skills in Zenless Zone Zero
Ellen is a powerhouse on the battlefield, excelling as an Ice DPS fighter. Her kit revolves around dealing high Ice damage while remaining mobile and controlling enemies with dodges and counters.
Both her Special and Ultimate attacks unleash a flurry of icy devastation, offering brief invincibility for added survivability.
This icy Zenless Zone Zero Agent thrives on mobility. Her Roaming state allows for swift dashes across the battlefield, and her Charged Scissor Strike within this state generates valuable Flash Freeze Charges. These charges are then used to enhance specific attacks, further amplifying Ellen’s already impressive damage output.
In short, Ellen excels at maneuvering around the battlefield while maximizing her offensive power through the strategic use of Flash Freeze charges.
