Zenless Zone Zero by HoYoverse has quickly grown into a high-impact action RPG with an ever-expanding cast of Agents. Each character in ZZZ brings their own unique mechanics, role specialties, and synergy potential across Attack, Support, Sub-DPS, Anomaly, and Stun archetypes.

Whether you’re building your dream DPS squad or forming a synergized Stun-Anomaly loop, this Tier List is your ultimate reference for every character’s value in the current 2.0 meta.

🥇 S-Tier Agents – The Meta Definers

These characters are must-haves. Their kits offer exceptional flexibility, power, or team utility.

• Miyabi (DPS/Frost) – Devastating burst potential with excellent AoE and mobility.

• Yixuan (DPS/Rupture) – Flexible on-field or quick-swap DPS with deep combo potential.

• Trigger (Stun/Off-field) – Efficient off-field Stunner with strong Daze uptime.

• Caesar (Support/Impact) – Tanky support with shields, AoE crowd control, and buffs.

• Astra Yao (Support) – Universal buffer. Supports Rupture, Anomaly, and Attack types.

• Vivian & Burnice (Sub-DPS/Anomaly) – Ideal for building status effects and triggering Disorders.

• Evelyn (DPS/Fire) – High burst DPS dependent on Crit scaling and Chain combo mastery.

• Lighter & Lycaon (Stun) – Excellent control characters; Lycaon excels in Ice comps.

• Nicole & Soukaku (Support) – Element-specific buffers with strong synergy in Ether or Ice comps.

• Yanagi (Sub-DPS) – Advanced Anomaly trigger without needing dual status stacks.

• Hugo (DPS) – Quick-swap burst finisher; pairs well with Stun teams.

🥈 A-Tier Agents – Strong Yet Slightly Conditional

A-Tier characters perform excellently but require either specific teams or suffer from slight drawbacks.

• Soldier 0 Anby – High burst DPS with Aftershock mechanics. Slow to ramp up.

• Zhu Yuan (DPS) – Excellent damage output, but falls off when out of Shotshells.

• Jane Doe (Sub-DPS) – Great Anomaly kit with Crit bonuses. Still dependent on matchups.

• Qingyi & Harumasa (Stun) – Reliable stunners but limited to Attack-centric teams.

• Ellen (DPS/Ice) – Still powerful in Ice teams but now outclassed by newer units.

• Lucy & Rina (Support) – Great buffs and off-field utility, but not universal.

• Pulchra (Stun) – Shines in Aftershock comps. Niche outside those teams.

• Pan Yinhu (Support/Rupture) – Ideal synergy with Yixuan. Currently very meta-specific.

🥉 B-Tier Agents – Usable, But Outclassed

These characters have clear roles but are overshadowed by others or require ideal team setups.

• Piper (Anomaly) – Fantastic EX Special Attack but lacks versatility.

• Soldier 11 & Grace – Straightforward mechanics, solid damage, but limited scaling.

• Koleda (Stun/Fire) – Decent stun application but lacks synergy beyond Ben.

• Rina – Strong support potential, but other characters provide more efficient buffs.

💤 C-Tier Agents – Least Competitive

These Agents are functional, but either outdated or heavily niche in the current version.

• Corin, Nekomata, Billy (Attack) – Outclassed by better DPS alternatives.

• Anton (Attack/Electric) – Slow and limited to single-target.

• Seth (Support) – Shielding niche, but lacks synergy and power.

• Ben (Tank/Fire) – Fun utility, but lacks viable support tools.

• Anby (Standard) – Entertaining character, but her Stun role is better filled by others.
