How to complete the Zenless Zone Zero Path of the Proxy 2

Unlike the Path of the Proxy 1, the second Path will require a fair bit of skill and familiarity with the game. This Path is located under Chapter 2’s [Rank Up] Path of the Proxy 2 mission tab. The mode will feature three waves of enemies, with each wave representing a boss. The battle must be cleared without knocking out your entire team to be considered a success.

A minimum character level of 30 is recommended for this particular exercise, although I would personally recommend maxing out your characters to Level 40 before proceeding further.

Best strategy to follow for Zenless Zone Zero Path of the Proxy 2

Shock is your ability of choice (Image via HoYoverse)

As all of these enemies are mechanical in nature, utilizing both Shock and Disorder is key to success:

• Stay on the offensive and swap to Nicole periodically to debuff foes.
• Dodge and parry attacks as and when required (red and yellow flashes respectively).
• Make good use of Anby’s skills to spam Shock on targets, stunning them and leaving them vulnerable to damage.
• Occasionally swap to Billy to swap between Elements and apply Disorder.
• Rinse and repeat until the enemies die.

Progressing through the trio of bosses will allow you to raise your level cap further, among other benefits.
