Zenless Zone Zero: Character Tier List

Zenless Zone Zero Tier List: December 24, 2024

HoYoverse's Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ) boasts a diverse cast of characters, each with unique mechanics and synergy potential. This tier list ranks all available Agents as of December 24, 2024, reflecting the current meta. Note that tier lists are dynamic and subject to change with new content and balance updates.

Updated on December 24, 2024, by Nahda Nabiilah: The meta in ZZZ is constantly evolving. Units previously considered top-tier, like Grace, may become less relevant as new Agents are introduced. Miyabi's overwhelming power exemplifies this shift. This updated list reflects the current landscape.

S-Tier

S-Tier Agents consistently excel in their roles and synergize effectively with others.

• Miyabi: Exceptional Frost damage dealer. Requires strategic play, but her high damage output is undeniable.

• Jane Doe: Superior to Piper, boasting significantly higher Assault Anomaly Crit damage. While Anomaly units are generally slower, her potent Assault potential earns her an S-rank.

• Yanagi: Excels at triggering Disorder, even without applying Shock, making her a valuable partner for Anomaly-focused teams, particularly with Miyabi.

• Zhu Yuan: High-damage DPS with swift Shotshell attacks. Works well with Stun and Support Agents; particularly effective with Qingyi and Nicole in version 1.1.

• Caesar: Exceptional defensive Agent with significant buff and debuff capabilities. Scales with Impact, enabling easy enemy stuns and crowd control.

• Qingyi: Versatile Stunner suitable for any team with an Attack Agent. Quickly builds Daze and applies substantial damage multipliers to stunned enemies.

• Lighter: Stun Agent with significant buffs, best suited for Fire and Ice teams.

• Lycaon: Ice-elemental Stunner. Reduces enemy Ice resistance and boosts ally Daze DMG, crucial for Ice-based teams.

• Ellen: Ice-elemental Attack Agent. Synergizes exceptionally well with Lycaon and Soukaku, delivering high damage, especially with her EX Special Attacks and Ultimate.

• Harumasa: Electric-Attack Agent (initially free). Requires specific build but delivers powerful attacks.

• Soukaku: Support Agent who buffs Ice units and applies Ice Anomaly. Excellent with Ellen and Lycaon.

• Rina: Support Agent who deals damage and grants PEN (defense ignore), particularly beneficial for Electric characters.

A-Tier

A-Tier Agents are strong in specific team compositions but may not be as universally effective as S-Tier.

• Nicole: Ether Support, increasing Ether DMG and reducing enemy DEF. Best with AoE Ether DPS units.

• Seth: Shielder and support, but less impactful than top-tier buffers. Niche for Anomaly DPS.

• Lucy: Support with off-field DMG and ATK% buff. Synergy with other Agents enhances her DPS.

• Piper: Relies heavily on her EX Special Attack, but it's highly effective with other Anomaly units.

• Grace: Anomaly builder, particularly effective with other Anomaly Agents, but less impactful than newer Anomaly units.

• Koleda: Reliable Fire/Stun Agent, works well in teams with other Fire characters.

• Anby: Reliable Stunner, but easily interrupted compared to others in her class.

• Soldier 11: Straightforward Fire-infused Attack Agent with high damage output.

B-Tier

B-Tier Agents have some utility but are outperformed by others in their roles.

• Ben: Defensive Agent with parry mechanics, but slow and limited team benefits.

• Nekomata: AoE damage dealer, but heavily reliant on team support and currently lacks synergistic teammates.

C-Tier

C-Tier Agents currently offer limited value.

• Corin: Physical Attack Agent, outperformed by other Physical DPS units.

• Billy: Attack Agent with decent Chain Attacks, but lacks overall damage compared to other DPS.

• Anton: Electric Attack Agent with interesting Shock DMG potential, but suffers from low DPS and single-target focus.
