Is Ben Bigger good?

A Fire defense agent who can deal damage, fill in for Daze or act as a light buffer. His Core Passive converts as much as 80% of his DEF into ATK and shields the team after his EX Special follow-up, and Fire or Belobog allies under that shield gain 16% Crit Rate.

Paired with Koleda, he makes her Ultimate and enhanced attacks much stronger. He's the slowest mover in the game, trails dedicated stunners on Daze, and only a few teams use his kit well.

Pairs well with: Koleda Belobog.

Strengths

  • Team-wide shield on his EX combo
  • 16% Crit Rate for Fire and Belobog allies
  • Improves Koleda's Ultimate and enhanced attacks

Weaknesses

  • Very slow movement speed
  • Weak Daze next to dedicated stunners
  • Few teams use him well

Background

I'm kind of a math nerd, but that doesn't stop me from beating on some thugs.

Ben Bigger is a playable Agent in Zenless Zone Zero, and the Head of Finance of Belobog Heavy Industries.

Agent Tabs

Strong Body & Honest Soul

Those paws could shatter bones, luckily they're busy tapping away on a calculator.

Has His Fish and Eats It Too

Finds an easy ballance between fighting thugs with his pillar on the battlefield and returning to accounting at the times of peace...

The only thing that could make it all better is a jar of caviar.

Fuzzy Fur, No Fuzzy Math

Naturally sensitive to all things numerical, he's careful in his bookkeeping, and has memorized all 58 account ledgers in his office.

Repays Recognition With Loyalty

After 1 year and 321 days of employment, Koleda promoted him to Head of Finance, and he's followed her faithfully ever since.

"I'm kind of a math nerd, but that doesn't stop me from beating on some thugs."— Ben Bigger

"Ahem, hello, I was invited to represent Belobog Industries' management in this interview.

I'm Ben Bigger. Oh... I won't eat you, there's no need to play dead."

His introduction on HoYoLab.

Who gave you permission to enter the construction site without a helmet?

Huh?! Put one on!

Oh right, I still have some caviar left over today, you can have a bite.

Impressions

Things he values: Receipts, safety hats, caviar.

Things he dislikes: Receipts, calculators with small buttons, fish.

In terms of daily tasks, "fur care" is the second most important.

The most important task is "settling the accounts."

Stories

Agent File: Ben

Ben is the financial and asset management director at Belobog Heavy Industries, and one of Koleda's trusted aides.

"I enjoy mathematics, but that doesn't stop me from giving thugs a good smack."

He's a burly and strong Thiren Despite his tough exterior, he's of a surprisingly sensitive and detail-oriented nature, especially when it comes to numbers.

Originally a frontline mechanical operator at Belobog, his talents caught Koleda's discerning eye, leading to his promotion to a managerial position responsible for the company's finances.

Grateful for Koleda's trust in him, he remains profoundly loyal to her.

His favorite food is black caviar, but he dislikes fish.

I once witnessed this imposing figure seated in a small office chair, wearing small glasses, and carefully cross-referencing Belobog's asset records while mashing away at a calculator with his huge fingers.

Question: Is that what they call on Inter-Knot a "Kawaii Curveball?"

Deducing from relevant data, Ben's current outfit and style is chosen to better serve Belobog Industries rather than from his own preference.

Cooperation Notes

Belle

The first time I saw him, I was definitely taken aback...

Who would've thought Ben was unexpectedly a soft, furry, gentle-natured bear!

Wise

Never judge a book by its cover.

That said, it seems he's often required to present a menacing image to deter the enemy... and it appears to be quite effective.
