Zenless Zone Zero on the SWORL: Perfect Dodges and Assists Made Easy
JFA Staff
Zenless Zone Zero is a fast character-action game built on perfect dodges, parries and team assists. It's also very configurable, so it can take a bit of time to find your layout. Josid's profile is a great place to start.

Layout breakdown
- All attack buttons (Basic, Special/EX Special, Ultimate) sit next to each other, fighting-game style.
- Dodge moves to the ring finger for cleaner perfect dodge timing.
- Character switching and assists sit on the index finger so perfect parries (Defensive Assist) are always one tap away.
Community tweak
just_benj kept it even simpler: move L1 and R1 (character switch) to left and right on the D-pad cluster. That makes Defensive Assists much more comfortable.

How to import a SWORL layout
- Download the .json file above, or copy the code into a text file and save it with a .json extension.
- Open the file in a text editor and change the
"profile"value to the slot you want, minus one (Profile 1 = 0, Profile 5 = 4), so you don't overwrite an existing profile. - Open the SWORL configurator, connect your SWORL and import the file.
