Zenless Zone Zero: Agent Tier List

Updated Zenless Zone Zero tier list for version 3.3. Every ZZZ agent ranked for Shiyu Defense and endgame. See the best characters for November 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.
  • Astra Yao brings exceptional support capabilities and fluid combat mechanics, synergizing powerfully with a wide range of DPS agents and consistently elevating team performance at the highest levels of endgame content.
  • Rina rounds out the S-tier with impressive damage amplification and strong team synergies, offering a compelling combination of offensive utility and consistent buffs that make her a top-tier pick in optimized lineups.

A Tier

The A-tier agents are strong, reliable picks that perform well across endgame content and slot into a variety of competitive team compositions.

  • Hoshimi Miyabi delivers solid anomaly-focused damage and pairs well with dedicated support agents.
  • Yixuan offers impressive offensive output and useful team synergies, making her a compelling choice in many lineups.
  • Lucy provides dependable support and consistent buffs that meaningfully elevate her teammates' performance.
  • Jane Doe brings strong sustained damage and flexible team integration, remaining a reliable DPS option.
  • Seth rounds out the tier with useful utility and solid defensive contributions that support a range of team strategies.

B Tier

B-tier agents are viable options for players working through endgame content, though they generally require more investment or favorable team compositions to reach their ceiling.

  • Piper and Koleda offer respectable damage and utility in the right setups.
  • Nekomata and Corin provide functional DPS contributions but are outpaced by higher-tier alternatives.
  • Anton rounds out the tier with niche strengths that can shine in specific team compositions.

C Tier

C-tier agents struggle to keep pace with the current meta and are generally outclassed by stronger alternatives. Trigger and Von Lycaon can still find use in casual content but require significant investment to remain competitive in demanding endgame scenarios.

D Tier

Billy sits at the bottom of the tier list, offering limited damage output and minimal utility compared to the rest of the roster. He is generally not recommended for endgame content and is best reserved for casual play or collection purposes.

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.
