Perfect dodges can be executed by hitting the dodge button (the three triangles) just before an enemy attack hits you. You will get a short window to do so and the enemy's attack will have an orange or red glint when they try to hit you. This is the time to perform a maneuver, which will then turn into a perfect dodge in Zenless Zone Zero.

To perform a perfect dodge, press one of the following buttons (depending on your device) right before you are hit.

1. Right-click on Mouse and Keyboard.
2. X button on your PlayStation controller.
3. The three triangles on your mobile screen.

Pressing the required input at the right time will execute a Perfect Dodge in Zenless Zone Zero, also slowing down time for a short window. Attacking during this window allows you to perform a Dodge Counter, dealing damage to enemies. You will be invulnerable during this state, meaning you won't take any damage from enemies.

Here are a few pointers on how to master the Perfect Dodge in Zenless Zone Zero.

Learn enemy patterns

Nothing will help you dodge enemy patterns more than getting accustomed to them. Make sure to get a read on how enemies move and when their attacks will glow. This will take a while, but once mastered, you will be able to avoid attacks and easily take out your foes.
