Get ready to farm Ellen's Ascension and Skill Materials to unlock her full potential when her banner arrives in Zenless Zone Zero's 1.0 Phase 1! A member of the mysterious Victoria Housekeeping Co., Ellen has captured the hearts of players with her unique shark-themed maid design and no-nonsense personality.
Ellen is a formidable Ice Attack unit that excels at dishing out single-target and AoE damage, punishing enemies with swift yet heavy-hitting icy attacks in her enhanced "Roaming State." To maximize Ellen's power and reach level 90, you'll need to collect specific Promotion Materials at every 10-level interval, alongside Skill Materials to boost her abilities' damage.
Ellen Promotion Materials List
Every 10 levels, your Agent will hit a level cap. To break through these caps, you'll need special Promotion materials specific to their attack type (Slash, Strike, and Pierce). Promoting an Agent strengthens their base stats, like ATK, DEF, and HP, while also gaining an ascension bonus to another stat at certain intervals, like CRIT Rate% or Impact.
Here's a breakdown of the total amount of Promotion materials required for Ellen:
- Basic Offense Certification Seal x4
- Pioneer's Certification Seal x30
- Advanced Offense Certification Seal x32
- Dennies x800,000
The following table shows the specific Promotion materials needed to ascend Ellen at each 10-level interval:
Level | Ellen Promotion Materials |
|---|---|
10 -> 20 | Dennies x24,000
Basic Offense Certification Seal x4

Ellen Promotion and Skill Materials Farming Guide
In Zenless Zone Zero, all materials can be farmed in the VR Device within the Random Play Store. The beauty of the VR Device lies in its customizability! You can select enemies that drop specific materials you need for Ellen, gathering everything you need in one run.
Offense Certification Seals & Freeze Chips
Combat Simulation is your key area for farming essential upgrade materials. These materials are crucial for promoting Agents, modifying W-Engines, and enhancing character skills. Enemy lineups determine the rewards you receive, including Ellen's Promotion Materials (Certification Seals: Basic/Advanced/Pioneer's) and Skill Materials (Freeze Chips: Basic/Advanced/Specialized).
Higher Dimensional Data - Murderous Obituary
Expert Challenges combine elements of Combat Simulation and Reckless Challenge. Here, you'll encounter elite enemies with increased difficulty. These challenges are vital for advanced character development, rewarding you with the materials needed to upgrade Ellen's core skills.
Zenless Zone Zero's Sixth Street Coffee Shop offers drinks that enhance your VR Device farming efficiency. These coffees increase the drop rate for specific materials (e.g., Ascension materials), allowing you to target Ellen's Promotion and Skill materials more effectively. Each cup of coffee also provides 60 free Battery Cost, which is the resource needed to embark on VR challenges. While these coffees come with a cost, the increased material yield can significantly offset the expense.
