Zenless Zone Zero: Agent Tier List

Updated Zenless Zone Zero tier list for version 3.2. Every ZZZ agent ranked for Shiyu Defense and endgame. See the best characters for October 2026 right here.

Last updated:

Zenless Zone Zero has over 40 agents in the game, but not every character delivers the level of performance necessary for endgame content and chain attack scenarios such as high-level Shiyu Defense. This tier list ranks every ZZZ agent based on their end-game content performance.

How ZZZ Agents are Ranked

Three core categories are used for ranking Agents: Shiyu Defense and Deadly Assault damage output, team synergy and combo potential in the current meta, and ease of use at S0 and higher Mindscape.

Damage matters, but it's not the only metric, and support characters with additional abilities that enable multiple top-tier teams outrank powerhouses with only one viable team comp. Other factors include clear-time data, benchmarks, and testing from our ZZZ community.

S Tier

These five S-tier agents represent the absolute pinnacle of performance in Zenless Zone Zero, and are essential picks for conquering the most demanding endgame content.

  • Miyabi excels as an anomaly specialist, delivering unmatched damage output with remarkable versatility that allows seamless integration into a wide variety of team compositions, making her one of the strongest agents in the current meta.
  • Ellen Joe delivers outstanding sustained DPS through optimized combos and exceptional scaling, remaining a cornerstone pick for competitive team compositions and one of the most consistently reliable damage dealers in the game.
  • Caesar stands as a premier defensive and offensive hybrid, offering unparalleled utility and damage support that makes her indispensable in high-level encounters. Her ability to absorb pressure while simultaneously boosting team output cements her place firmly in this elite tier.
  • Hoshimi Miyabi brings exceptional anomaly-focused damage and fluid combat mechanics, synergizing powerfully with a range of support agents and consistently performing at the highest levels of endgame content.
  • Yixuan rounds out the S-tier with impressive damage potential and strong team synergies, offering a compelling combination of offensive output and utility that makes her a top-tier pick in optimized lineups.

A Tier

These A-tier agents are highly effective and capable of excelling in endgame content, offering strong performance and meaningful team contributions without quite reaching the dominance of the S-tier.

  • Astra Yao functions as an outstanding support agent, providing crucial buffs and utility that elevate entire team compositions across all content types.
  • Piper delivers reliable anomaly damage and solid team synergy, making her a versatile pick in a variety of compositions.
  • Rina offers strong electric-focused support and damage amplification, remaining a valuable asset in specialized team builds.
  • Lucy provides consistent support utility and team-wide buffs that make her a dependable choice for flexible lineup construction.
  • Koleda brings durable frontline presence and fire-based damage, serving as a solid anchor in fire-oriented team compositions.

B Tier

B-tier agents are competent performers that can contribute meaningfully in many team compositions, though they require more investment or specific synergies to reach their full potential.

  • Trigger, Jane Doe, Seth, Nekomata, Corin, Von Lycaon, and Anton all occupy this tier, each offering situational value and workable team roles without consistently matching the output of higher-tier agents.

C Tier

Vivian sits in C-tier, struggling to keep pace with the broader agent roster in most endgame scenarios. She can function in casual content but faces significant limitations in competitive settings, requiring heavy team support and specific compositions to remain viable, making her a difficult recommendation over stronger alternatives.

D Tier

Billy occupies the D-tier, currently falling well short of the performance standards set by the rest of the roster. His damage output and team utility are notably lacking in endgame content, and he is generally outclassed by nearly every other available agent in meaningful competitive scenarios.

ZZZ 2.7 Changes and Beyond

Stun players got a massive upgrade in 2.7 with Nangong Yu, who enables quick assist combos, but most other types, including attack character roles, stayed the same. Build your teams around 2 or 3 S-tiers, filling the slots with A-tiers, and you'll manage most content just fine.
