What each Zenless Zone Zero character does

S tier: Top picks

  • Nangong Yu

    An Ether Stun character whose main tool is a charged Basic Attack: release it at the right moment for 20% more Daze, and spend 50 Downbeats each on the 2nd and 3rd hits.

  • Ukinami Yuzuha

    A Physical support who keeps helping from the bench: while she's off field her tanuki Kama attacks alongside the active character, and with Sugar Points stocked, their hits call in her Hard Candy Shot once every 8s.

  • Dialyn

    A Physical Stun character whose Dodge Counter, Quick Assist and Assist Follow-Up all lead straight into the 4th hit of her Basic Attack.

  • Lucia Elowen

    An Ether support who attacks through an Ethereal figure, with her moves split into Whims, which build Dream Points, and Harmonies.

  • Sunna

    A Physical support who sends her companion Bubblegum into the fight.

  • Ye Shunguang

    A Physical swordfighter whose Enlightened Mind state runs a ground-to-air loop: Splitting Currents on the ground (with a block on its 3rd hit), Skyward Ascent to launch herself up, then Sunderlight slashes and a Sunderlight Annihilation finisher back down.

  • Astra Yao

    An Ether support who fights from her Idyllic Cadenza state, where her Basic Attack and Perfect Dodge follow-up fire Tremolo and trigger a Quick Assist whenever they hit.

  • Norma Hollowell

    A Fire Stun character who builds Preheated Chamber (1.5% per second while she's active, 16% from each EX Special) and fights alongside a Top Hat Companion and a Rumble Drill.

  • Remielle Dan

    A Lumiflux Anomaly fighter whose Basic Attack applies Lumiflux Buildup on its 4th hit and whose hits build Floating Radiance.

  • Velina Airgid

    A Wind Anomaly fan fighter whose EX Special starts with a backward dodge that can trigger Vital View, then fires an 881.6% wind blast.

  • Hoshimi Miyabi

    An Ice Anomaly swordfighter who banks Fallen Frost, gaining 2 from her Hisetsu EX Special, and spends it on Shimotsuki: she sheathes her blade, charges up to three levels at 2 Fallen Frost each, then draws for one big Frost slash.

  • Yixuan

    An Ether Rupture fighter who deals Auric Ink DMG and spends Auric Ink Points on Auric Array, a channeled array worth 611% in total that keeps her invulnerable, puts her in Vital View and restores 7 Adrenaline per second for up to 3s, ending in a Qingming Eruption blast.

  • Sigrid de L'Azur

    An Ice spear fighter whose Dodge Counter and EX Specials slot into her Basic Attack without resetting it, so the four-hit combo picks up where it left off.

A tier: Strong

  • Vivian Banshee

    An Ether Anomaly fighter who turns Flight Feathers into Guard Feathers.

  • Lighter

    A Fire Stun boxer built around keeping his Basic Attack combo alive.

  • Cissia

    An Electric attacker who builds Venom, 2 from the 4th hit of her Basic Attack plus 1 more against a Stunned enemy, and turns every 6 Venom into a Serpentine Shadow stack, holding up to 3.

  • Promeia

    An Ice Anomaly fighter who throws her cape to slice enemies on its own (Bound Absolution), either during the 4th hit of her Basic Attack or with a held Whirling Blade.

  • Zhao

    An Ice defender who scales off Max HP: holding Basic Attack stores up to 5s of charge, and when Final Verdict's Finishing Move, a Chain Attack or an Assist Follow-Up hits, each stored second adds damage equal to 13% of her Max HP.

  • Aria

    An Ether Anomaly fighter who scatters Fandom Power on the field, from the 4th hit of her Basic Attack and from the quick No Ice version of her Special.

  • Banyue

    A Fire Rupture brawler with fighting-game inputs, where half-circle Dodges, Basic Attack branches and command inputs chain into his EX Specials.

  • Yidhari Murphy

    An Ice Rupture hammer fighter who trades HP for power.

    An Ether attacker who spends Solar Prominence (30 or more) on Celestial Light, a held four-hit string whose 3rd hit lands for 1099% and whose last two hits are invulnerable.

  • Starlight - Billy Kid

    A Physical Rupture fighter on a motorcycle who pays HP for Drive Suppression and earns it back: his Basic hits restore a little HP, and a Perfect Dodge into Duel King restores 10% of Max HP.

  • Nicole Demara

    An Ether support who pulls enemies together: her EX Special fires a shot that opens an energy field dragging them to its center, can be held to keep a smaller damaging field going at the muzzle, and triggers a Quick Assist when it lands.

  • Trigger

    An Electric Stun sniper who does a lot of her work while someone else is on field.

  • Evelyn Chevalier

    A Fire attacker who binds her main target with her Lunalux Garrote (Binding Seal) through her 5th Basic hit, Dodge Counter or Assists, then spends Burning Embers 50% at a time on two Garrote slashes worth 453% and 490.5%.

    A Fire Anomaly flamethrower user.

  • Von Lycaon

    An Ice Stun character who charges almost everything.

  • Jane Doe

    A Physical Anomaly fighter who fills Passion Stream through Perfect Dodges, Defensive Assists and any damage she deals, then enters Passion: her Physical Anomaly Buildup Rate rises 25%, and every point of Anomaly Proficiency above 120 adds 2 ATK, up to 600.

  • Qingyi

    An Electric Stun character who builds Flash Connect Voltage with her Electric hits and enters the Flash Connect state at 75%.

C tier: Situational

  • Caesar King

    A Physical defender who fights behind a shield.

  • Pulchra Fellini

    A Physical Stun character who does much of her work from the bench.

How this list is made

We combine 10 tier lists from the Zenless Zone Zero community. Each character's tier is the middle of where those lists place them, so one list can't move anyone up or down on its own. The list is rebuilt every week.
