As a hardcore Zenless Zone Zero player since launch, I've been absolutely obsessed with the Click Click Hollow Reporter event! 🤩 This limited-time photography challenge running from February 2 to February 17, 2025 gives us the perfect opportunity to earn sweet Polychromes for upcoming banners. Though each stage takes some dedication to complete, the satisfaction of nailing those perfect action shots while triggering explosive Filter-Buffs is totally worth it! Let me walk you through everything I've learned from grinding this event daily.

Event Eligibility Requirements

Before we dive in, make sure you meet two simple requirements:

• Reach Inter-Knot Level 15

• Complete the Soldier 11 Agent Quest: Mole In the Hole

Honestly, these are super easy to achieve - I helped my friend power through them in just one gaming session! Don't sleep on this event though, because those sweet 360 Polychromes are calling your name! 💎

How the Photography Combat Works

The core mechanic blew my mind when I first tried it! We get this awesome Flash of Insight function to capture specific combat moments. When you time it right:

1. It triggers Filter-Buffs that unleash massive energy blasts 💥

2. These blasts damage enemies while giving insane combat buffs

3. Each stage has unique buff requirements shown pre-battle

Pro tip: After clearing a stage, you'll see the Hyperfocus Shot option. It's fun for vanity shots but gives no extra rewards - save your time for the real challenges!

Stage Breakdown - Tips From My Experience

Stage 1: Wasteland Race

Target Challenges

• Earn 1000/7000 points

• Take 5 photos in one session

Photo Objectives

• Primary: Agent using EX Special ATK

• Optional: Two+ enemies on screen

My Strategy: With trial characters Ellen, Lycaon, and Soukaku, I spammed Ellen's EX move while grouping enemies. The Filter-Buff gives insane +60% Energy Regen and +30% ATK - perfect for combo chains!

Stage 2: Strange Ruins Adventure

Photo Objectives

• Primary: Agent using Ultimate

• Optional: Two+ enemies visible

Why I Loved This: Miyabi's ultimate with +150% Decibel gen and +30% Ultimate DMG made me feel unstoppable! Lucy's support kept everyone alive for perfect snap moments.

Stage 3: Maze of Dangerous Towers

Toughest Challenge

• Primary: Agent using Attribute Anomaly

• Optional: Combat Bangboo in frame

Personal Tip: Jane Doe's anomaly skills with +60% Anomaly Buildup turned this chaotic stage into a fireworks show! Piper's Bangboo made optional targets easy.

Stage 4: Blazing Sun and Floating Shadows

Key Mechanics

• Primary: Chain Attack activation

• Optional: Two+ agents in shot

Epic Combo: Harumasa's chains with Qingyi's support gave +50% ATK and +50% Stunned DMG. I melted bosses by timing shots during stun windows!

Stage 5: Stroll By The Harbor

Critical Tip

• Primary: Defensive/Evasive Assist

• Optional: Combat Bangboo present

My Aha Moment: Zhu Yuan's counters with Caesar King's assists became my favorite! That +40% Crit Rate and +100% Crit DMG buff made every counter hit like a truck! 🚚

Stage 6: Virtual Starloop

Final Showdown

• Primary: Quick Assist activation

• Optional: Two+ agents in frame

Clutch Strategy: With +60% Agent DMG and another +60% on Quick Assists, I chained assists non-stop. Qingyi's quick-swaps became my MVP for nailing primary targets!
