With the new Lycaon buffs, he becomes more flexible and stronger than ever. But before you can fully utilize his kit, you might wanna check out all of Zenless Zone Zero Lycaon materials for his promotion, skill, core skill and signature weapon.

How to get Stun Certification seals in Zenless Zone Zero

The Stun Certification Seal is a promotion material exclusively for Stun agents, Lycaon included. To farm them, head to the Stun Drill in Combat Simulation using the VR Device, spend some batteries, and claim the rewards. This drops different variants of certification seals, so if you ever need to upgrade a low-tier seal to a high-tier one, or break down a high-tier seal into lower tiers, you can do so using the Craft and Dismantle feature.

How to get Freeze Chips 

Freeze Chips are skill level-up materials exclusively made for and used by Ice agents, like Lycaon. Similar to Stun Certification Seals and other promotion materials, players can spend batteries in Combat Simulation, specifically in the Icing Test stage, to farm Freeze Chips

How to get Hamster Cage Pass in Zenless Zone Zero

The Hamster Cage Pass in Zenless Zone Zero is basically the equivalent of Crown of Insight in Genshin Impact. It’s a rare upgrade material that can’t be farmed through regular stages as players can only get it from events, the New Eridu City Fund battle pass, or by exchanging Association Supplies.

Core skill materials for Lycaon in Zenless Zone Zero

Of course, do not forget about his core skills. Upgrading core skills is also what will make him stronger in any team he’s in. Here’s what you need: for Lycaon’s core skill materials, you won’t need Combat Simulation; instead, you’ll have to face two bosses: one Expert Challenge boss and one Notorious Hunt boss.

Core skill level	Materials
A	5,000 dennies
B	2x Higher Dimensional Data: Ethereal Pursuits 12,000 Dennies
C	4x Higher Dimensional Data: Ethereal Pursuits 28,000 Dennies
D	9x Higher Dimensional Data: Ethereal Pursuits 2x Finale Dance Shoes 60,000 Dennies
E	15x Higher Dimensional Data: Ethereal Pursuits 3x Finale Dance Shoes 100,000 Dennies
F	30x Higher Dimensional Data: Ethereal Pursuits 4x Finale Dance Shoes 200,000 Dennies

How to get Higher Dimensional Data: Ethereal Pursuits in ZZZ

Higher Dimensional Data comes from the Expert Challenge. To get Ethereal Pursuits specifically, head to the HIA Club, talk to Lyla, and select Expert Challenge: Notorious – Armored Hati. Like other game modes, players need to defeat the boss and spend 40 batteries to claim the rewards. You can choose from different stage levels. Naturally, higher levels carry a greater risk of losing but also offer the juiciest rewards. If you’re having a hard time defeating the boss, using Ice and Ether teams is highly recommended.

Where to get Finale Dance Shoes in ZZZ 

Finally, the Finale Dance Shoes material comes from a Notorious Hunt boss. The Notorious Hunt combat challenge becomes available after reaching Interknot Level 30 and starting the Chapter 2: Interlude quest.

Players can farm Finale Dance Shoes by defeating the Notorious Hunt: Twin Marionettes. Like Armored Hati, this boss is also more vulnerable to Ice and Ether teams. Each week, players can complete the challenge three times for free, but any additional runs will cost 60 batteries each.

That concludes our guide for Zenless Zone Zero Lycaon materials. Despite being a standard banner character, Lycaon is still a good unit to pick up for both newbies and veteran players alike. Especially with his new buffs, you will definitely find good use for him in any team that needs a reliable stunner. If you still don’t have him yet or are looking to become stronger in the game, be sure to check out some cheap and affordable ZZZ Monochromes that offer the best bang for your buck!
