You can brute force with any Zenless Zone Zero agent to defeat Notorious Hunt bosses like Corrupted Overlord Pompey. However, the battle will become significantly easier if you use optimal teams. Make sure to include characters that align with the entity's weakness.

The new boss from version 1.2 is susceptible to Fire and resists Electric elements. Based on this, the following are the best teams to use against the Corrupted Overlord Pompey boss in ZZZ as of writing:

• Soldier 11+ Caesar+ Lucy
• Soldier 11+ Koleda+ Ben
• Piper+ Caesar+ Lucy

Soldier 11, Caesar, and Lucy create one of the strongest teams in the game that can dominate the abomination with their incredible damage potential. Being a DPS from the Fire element, Soldier 11 will take charge as the frontrunner, utilizing the buff from allies to her advantage. Caesar also excels at staggering enemies with her parries, which will be particularly useful to dampen the aggression of the specified boss.

A relatively accessible setup would contain Piper and Lucy from the Sons of Calydon faction in Zenless Zone Zero. However, they are reliant on their leader, Caesar, to unleash their true strength. So, if you have summoned this S-rank universal support, tackling the Corrupted Overlord Pompey will be a walk in the park.

The Corrupted Overlord Pompey is currently the strongest boss in Zenless Zone Zero, so reading his moveset is crucial to securing victory. Here are some strategies, tips, and tricks that will be of aid during battle:

• The Corrupted Overlord Pompey fight has two phases, and it acquires superior ability in the latter half. So, play safe until the boss is enraged.
• Choose a Resonium that your team can benefit from. For instance, if you are using Caesar or any Stun agent, pick the card that will increase the enemy’s stagger duration.
• In the first phase, Pompey drifts around on a motorcycle, unleashing heavy slashes with a coordinated beam attack. Dodge the latter at all costs, as it can stagger your character.
• The boss fights on foot throughout the second phase using powerful AoE attacks. You should try to avoid getting hit by the ground slam, which has a delayed impact.
• On rare occasions, the entity will hop on the motorcycle and launch an empowered version of the coordinated beam attack. The boss will also circle the arena, hitting everything on the path. Each of these attacks needs to be dodged since they can be lethal.
