Seed Team Composition Guide In Zenless Zone Zero

 


Who Is Seed?

  • Seed is an Electric-element, Attack-type S-Rank Agent from the Obol Squad faction and debuts in Version 2.2 of Zenless Zone Zero.

  • She operates as a mech pilot, riding a giant robot named Seed Sr., but the playable Agent is the girl—Flora—who pilots the mech.

  • Known for her ominous origins and whimsical demeanor, she’s described in marketing as a “scooter demon,” blending innocence with lethal combat prowess.



Combat Style & Abilities

  • Seed’s core mechanic is Steel Charge—a resource built through basic hits, dodges, and assists. She needs at least 120 Steel Charge to unleash her powerful Falling Petals – Downfall, which consumes Steel Charge for massive Electric damage.

  • Her EX Special Attack (costing 60 energy) allows her to enter mech flight mode, granting invulnerability and smoothly chaining into her slam attack when fully channeled.

  • The Ultimate ability is ideal during enemy stun windows—dealing heavy damage and granting extra Steel Charge, enabling an even more devastating combo.



Team Synergy & Best Builds

  • Seed is best played in dual-Attack setups. She grants significant buffs to Crit DMG, Global DMG, and ATK in this configuration.

  • Top companions include:

    • Soldier 0 Anby – great synergy thanks to her EX Special uptime.

    • Orphie & Magus – high burst potential, ideal pairing.

    • Trigger – excellent for off-field Stun support; amplifies Seed’s damage when enemies are vulnerable.



Community Insights

Redditors had some fun theorizing about her dynamic with her mech:

“It’s a Svarog and Clara situation. Seed Sr. takes care of Seed Jr. So Seed SR is a separate character with own distinct voice.”

This reflects fans’ fascination with the duality of Seed and her large mech companion.

Honkai Star Rail Evernight Gameplay Mechanics & Kit

 


Who Is Evernight?

  • Evernight is the 5-star Ice-element, Remembrance-path incarnation of March 7th, appearing in Version 3.6 of Honkai: Star Rail. She transforms from March 7th, who suffered memory loss and was found encased in ice.

  • Lore-wise, she’s a Chrysos Heir tied to Amphoreus’s Coreflame of Time, also associated with the Time Titan Oronyx.

  • Her reveal includes poetic flair: “In the secluded Memory Zone... child of Remembrance born from the shadow...”



Release Timeline & Lore Impact

  • Evernight debuts in the first phase of Version 3.6, expected around September 23–24, 2025.

  • Her arrival completes the set of Amphoreus's 12 Chrysos Heirs, alongside Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae.

  • In the story, Evernight rescues the Trailblazer from the Exomyth, returns them to Amphoreus, and bestows the final Coreflame.



Gameplay Mechanics & Kit

Path & Role
Evernight follows the Remembrance path—generally focused on memosprite mechanics and support-oriented gameplay. She blends support and sub-DPS roles.


Key Abilities (Leaked/Datamined):

  • Basic Attack: Time Thence Blurs
    Deals Ice damage equal to 50% of Evernight’s max HP to a single target.

  • Skill: Day Gently Slips
    Sacrifices ~12% of her max HP to summon memosprite Evey, boosting allied memosprites’ Crit Damage by 40% for 2 turns. If Evey is already active, it heals instead. Grants Memoria stacks (and more if in Darkest Riddle state).

  • Ultimate: O Wakeful World, Goodnight
    Summons Evey, deals AoE Ice damage based on Evey’s Max HP, and triggers Darkest Riddle—enemies take 20% more damage, Evernight and Evey deal double damage, and both are immune to crowd control.

  • Talent: With Me, This Night
    Auto-summons Evey at battle start. When either takes damage, crit damage for both increases (and grants Memoria). High Memoria clears debuffs and triggers Evey to act earlier.

  • Ascensions & Technique
    Her Ascension boosts include Crit Rate, Crit Damage, and expanded memosprite Crit Damage depending on how many Remembrance units are in the team. Her Technique also pre-buffs memosprites at the start of combat.

  • Traces & Eidolons

    • Her Traces enhance Crit Rate, Memoria gain, and skill buffs—often tied to Remembrance team synergy.

    • Eidolons boost memosprite damage, Memoria gain, Weakness Break efficiency, team RES PEN, and resource recovery after Evey uses her strongest attack.


Thematic & Strategic Highlights

  • Evernight introduces a memosprite-centric gameplay, encouraging synergy with other Remembrance units like Castorice and Cyrene.

  • Her kit brings HP-scaling damage, crowd control immunity, and team-support buffs, making her versatile and potent in team comps.

  • Lore-wise, she’s deeply tied to March 7th’s identity and the unfolding mystery of Amphoreus.

Wuthering Waves Iuno release date, banner details and more

 


Who Is Iuno (aka "Luno")?

Introduction & Release Timing

  • Iuno, the Priestess of Septimont, is a newly revealed 5-star Aero Gauntlet character set to debut in Phase II of the Version 2.6 update—around mid-September 2025. The update itself is scheduled for release on 28 August 2025, with Augusta debuting in Phase I and Iuno following afterward. 


Lore & Role

  • Serving as a trusted advisor to Augusta, the Ephor of Septimont, Iuno is known for her decisiveness and ability to foresee the future through lunar observations. Her name and design evoke the Roman goddess Juno, fitting Septimont’s aesthetic themes.


Gameplay & Kit Highlights

  • Element & Weapon: Aero attribute; Gauntlets weapon type. 

Signature Weapon—Moongazer’s Sigil:

  • 5-star gauntlet with base ATK ~500 and 36% Crit Rate.

  • R1 effect: +12% ATK; casting an Intro Skill or Resonance Liberation gives +20% Resonance Liberation DMG for 15s. Acquiring a shield lets her ignore 7.2% of an enemy’s DEF per hit, stacking up to 5 times, refreshing every 0.5s. 


Combat Flow: Activating Moon-based Lunar Cycles:

  • Half Moon Domain: Gains the Moonring to auto-attack targets and charge Forte Gauge.

  • New Moon State: Transforms the ring into a Moonbow to fire powerful arrows, delivering bonus damage and healing allies.

  • Resonance Liberation: Instantly activates Lunar Cycle and restores gauge; under certain conditions, switching her into battle can trigger a Full Moon Domain—boosting allies’ damage and healing them. 


Strategic Role

Iuno clearly fits the sub-DPS/support category:

  • She provides healingshielding, and AoE utility, making her valuable in team support compositions.

  • Her mechanics suggest strong synergy with speedrun and survivability builds, offering cooldown reduction and mobility buffs. 


Summary: Why Iuno Stands Out

  • A visually elegant and lore-rich Aero Gauntlet character with celestial themes.

  • Offers healing, shielding, and utility through a moonlight-driven skillset.

  • Her launch will follow closely behind that of Augusta—expand your strategy options mid-update.
