What Is the Anti-Infiltration Assessment?

The Anti-Infiltration Assessment is a core challenge in the "Band of Brave Bangboo" event. During this event, proxies deploy Bangboo units to prevent Ethereal enemies from infiltrating the base. Each stage introduces new mechanics, enemy types, and strategic requirements. Success depends on not only deploying the right units but also making timely upgrades and using the environment to your advantage.

Key Bangboo Units and Their Roles

To excel at Zenless Zone Zero anti challenges, it’s crucial to understand your Bangboo:

  • Mercury (Brave Bangboo): Blocks up to 2 enemies, attacks them, and when promoted, handles more foes at once. Mercury is your core anti hit defender—prioritize placing them in bushes to reveal and block hidden threats.

  • Snap (Rapid Bangboo): Attacks quickly, slows enemies, and can immobilize them when upgraded.

  • Avocaboo (Kind Bangboo): Heals allies, restores stamina, and keeps your team standing in intense waves.

Stage-by-Stage Breakdown & Placement Tips

Let’s break down Anti-Infiltration Day 1’s stages:

Stage 1 & 2: Building the Foundation

  • Deploy Snap and Plugboo early; use them to attack and slow down the initial waves.

  • In Stage 2, Illusory Bushes hide enemies. Place Mercury inside bushes to reveal and neutralize threats.

  • Upgrade Snap and Plugboo when possible for stronger anti hit capability.

Stage 3: Unlocking Potential

  • You’ll get to deploy more Bangboo. Use Bangboo Promotion upgrades for advanced skills.

  • Don’t forget to mix blocking (Mercury) with attack/CC (Snap), keeping enemies from overwhelming your lines.

Stage 4: Prioritize Survival

  • Always have a Mercury in the top bush; this prevents sneaky Ethereals from reaching the exit.

  • Invest early in Avocaboo for healing—prolong your attackers’ effectiveness and control the field.

Stage 5: Advanced Bangboo Skills

  • Upgrade Rapid Bangboo (Snap/Plugboo) for immobilization.

  • Use Avocaboo’s buffs to support attack units, letting you clear waves efficiently.

  • Don’t hesitate to reposition as needed; adaptability is key.

Stage 6: Tight Defense and Mercury Placement

  • Keep at least 2 Mercury units on the top bush row at all times. This is crucial for stopping high-speed threats.

  • Monitor enemy speed and threat level—adjust placements to anticipate the fastest or most dangerous foes.

Tips for Success & Common Pitfalls

  • Upgrade Wisely: Focus upgrades on Mercury and Snap early for best anti hit potential.

  • Use Resource Chips: Cost Reduction & Efficiency Resource Chip helps you upgrade more often.

  • Watch the Bushes: Illusory Bushes are not just for hiding enemies—they’re also strategic choke points.

  • Rewards: Each cleared stage grants Polychrome, so don’t miss out on these rewards!
