ZZZ S-Tier Characters - The Meta Definers
Yixuan - The Game Changer (S-Tier)
Yixuan is the closest character to Miyabi's power level that we've seen yet. As the first Rupture agent in ZZZ, she's completely revolutionized the meta with her unique Sheer Force mechanic that ignores enemy defenses entirely.
What makes Yixuan exceptional:
- HP Scaling: Unlike traditional DPS characters, Yixuan scales with HP, making her incredibly tanky while dealing massive damage
- Sheer Damage: All her attacks deal Sheer DMG that bypasses enemy defenses - this is absolutely game-breaking against high-defense bosses
- Adrenaline System: She uses Adrenaline instead of Energy, opening up unique team compositions
- Dual Ultimate System: Can use both regular Ultimate (costs Decibels) and Enhanced Ultimate (costs Technique Points)
- Invulnerability Frames: Most of her attacks grant i-frames, making her surprisingly survivable
Her complexity is her only real drawback - mastering her Flight Feather management and combo strings takes practice. But once you get the hang of it, she's unstoppable. At her best, her performance lives up to the other top contenders of the meta, proving her burst damage definitely won't disappoint.
Miyabi - The Frost Queen (S-Tier)
Miyabi remains the undisputed queen of Anomaly DPS. Her Frost attribute (distinct from regular Ice) allows her to trigger unique reactions that other characters simply can't match.
Key strengths:
- Fallen Frost Mechanic: Accumulates stacks through Disorder and Ultimate usage for devastating charged attacks
- Frostburn: Exclusive Anomaly that deals massive DoT and enables consistent Disorder procs
- Versatile Playstyle: Works as both main DPS and quick-swap character
- High Skill Ceiling: Rewards mastery with exponentially higher damage output
- Team Flexibility: Synergizes with virtually any Anomaly character
The only downside? She requires significant investment in both Anomaly Proficiency and Crit Rate to truly shine. But trust me, she's worth every resource you pour into her.
Astra Yao - Universal Support Goddess (S-Tier)
Astra is a fantastically versatile character, but given that her most essential skills render her immobile, she thrives alongside units that synergize as a duo. As ZZZ's first healer, she's become an indispensable support for virtually every team composition.
Why Astra dominates:
- Universal Buffs: Works with Attack, Anomaly, AND Rupture agents
- Idyllic Cadenza State: Remains invulnerable while off-field, providing continuous buffs
- Healing Ultimate: Full team heal + converts Quick Assists into Chain Attacks
- ATK and Crit DMG Buffs: Substantial damage increases for the entire team
- Easy Quick Assist: Enables smooth rotations and combo extensions
Her only weakness is her stationary nature during key abilities, but proper positioning negates this entirely. She's essentially future-proof - every new DPS character released will benefit from her kit.
Vivian - The Anomaly Amplifier (S-Tier)
Vivian is the best at her role and provides a big increase in power over Burnice to a lot of teams like Jane and Piper. She's redefined what it means to be an off-field Sub-DPS.
Vivian excels at:
- Off-Field Damage: Guard Feathers trigger automatic attacks while she's benched
- Abloom Mechanic: Amplifies all Anomaly damage, not just her own
- Disorder Enhancement: Increases both application rate and damage
- Flight Feather Management: Rewards skillful play with higher damage ceilings
- Universal Anomaly Support: Works with ANY Anomaly character
Her main challenge is resource management - you need to actively manage her Flight and Guard Feather stacks. But once mastered, she turns any Anomaly team into a powerhouse.
Yanagi - The Disorder Specialist (S-Tier)
Yanagi has carved out a unique niche as the premier Disorder triggerer. Her Polarity Disorder mechanic is unlike anything else in the game.
What sets Yanagi apart:
- Instant Disorder: Can trigger Disorder without needing matching elements
- Stance Dancing: Jougen and Kagen stances offer varied playstyles
- Field Time Flexibility: Works as both on-field DPS and quick-swap Sub-DPS
- Disorder Damage Amplification: Increases team-wide Disorder damage
- Perfect Synergy: Ideal partner for Miyabi and other Anomaly characters
The learning curve is steep - her stance management and combo optimization require practice. But she's essential for any serious Disorder-focused team.
A-Tier Characters - The Reliable Powerhouses
Burnice - The Pyromaniac Sub-DPS (A+ Tier)
Burnice revolutionized off-field damage when she launched. Her Afterburn mechanic allows her to contribute significant DPS while other characters take the spotlight.
Notable features:
- Nitro-Fuel Cocktail: Applies Burn even while off-field
- Heat Management: Simple resource system that's easy to master
- Team Flexibility: Works in both Disorder and mono-Fire teams
- F2P Friendly: Performs well even without her signature W-Engine
She's dropped slightly in rankings due to Vivian's release, but remains an excellent choice for Fire-based teams or as a Disorder enabler.
Caesar - The Unbreakable Shield (A+ Tier)
Caesar remains the most comfortable Support character to use in any teams thanks to her huge sustain abilities and interruption resistance. She's the ultimate comfort pick for challenging content.
Caesar provides:
- Team-Wide Shields: Scales with her Impact stat
- ATK Buffs: Significant damage increase for the whole team
- Anti-Interruption: Prevents your DPS from being knocked out of combos
- Crowd Control: Gathers enemies for easy AoE damage
- Vulnerability Debuff: Increases enemy damage taken
While she's been somewhat overshadowed by Astra Yao, Caesar remains invaluable for players who prioritize survivability and consistent clears over speed.
Lighter - The Elemental Enhancer (A+ Tier)
Lighter stands out as more than just a Stun character - he's a full support package for Fire and Ice teams.
His kit includes:
- Dual Element Support: Buffs both Fire AND Ice damage
- Resistance Shred: Reduces enemy Fire/Ice resistance
- Quick Stun Application: Efficient Daze buildup
- Morale Burst State: Team-wide buffs through Elation stacks
- Simple Gameplay: Hold-to-combo system is beginner-friendly
He's particularly valuable for Ellen and Hugo teams, breathing new life into Ice compositions.
Trigger - The Off-Field Stunner (A+ Tier)
Trigger has redefined what it means to be a Stun character. Her off-field presence is unmatched in her role.
Key advantages:
- Follow-Up Attacks: Continues stunning while benched
- High Stun Multiplier: Increases damage during Stun windows
- Minimal Field Time: Perfect for selfish DPS characters
- Crit Scaling: Unusual for Stun characters, offers unique build paths
Her only real drawback is the 90% Crit Rate requirement for optimal performance, making her somewhat expensive to build properly.
Ellen - The Fallen Ice Queen (A Tier)
Ellen's high crit rate and damage allows her to shred enemies to pieces with a barrage of multi-attack slashes built into her basic and dodge attacks. While no longer top-tier, the 2.0 buffs have given her new life.
Ellen's strengths:
- Roaming Slash: Unique mobility and damage combination
- High Crit Scaling: Benefits greatly from Crit investment
- Freeze/Shatter: Strong crowd control capabilities
- Buffed in 2.0: Significant improvements to her kit
She's been powercrept by newer DPS options, but remains a solid choice, especially for players who already have her built.
Hugo - The Burst Assassin (A Tier)
Hugo offers a unique playstyle focused entirely on Stun window optimization.
His specialties:
- Totalize Mechanic: Massive damage during Stun windows
- Double Stun Synergy: Gains huge buffs with two Stun teammates
- Quick Rotation: Minimal field time requirements
- High Burst Potential: Competes with top DPS when properly supported
The main drawback is his expensive team requirements - he really needs premium Stun characters like Lighter and Lycaon to reach his potential.
Evelyn - The Flashy Flame (A Tier)
Evelyn brings a unique quick-swap playstyle to the Fire element, focusing on rapid rotations and Chain Attack spam.
Her key features:
- Chain Attack Focus: Gains massive buffs when executing Chain Attacks
- Quick Swap Efficiency: Minimal field time with maximum impact
- Fire RES Shred: Built-in resistance reduction for team support
- Synergy with Astra: Their combo enables multiple Chain Attacks per rotation
- High Skill Ceiling: Rewards perfect timing and rotation management
While she lacks the raw power of S-tier DPS characters, her unique mechanics and excellent Fire team synergy keep her competitive. She's particularly strong when paired with Lighter and Astra Yao.
Jane Doe - The Passion Predator (A Tier)
Jane Doe remains one of the most stylish and effective Anomaly characters, with her Passion mechanic offering sustained on-field damage.
What makes Jane special:
- Passion Stream: Unique resource that enhances all her attacks
- Assault Mastery: Highest Physical Anomaly application in the game
- Incredible Mobility: Double dodge and dash attacks for positioning
- Self-Sufficient: Doesn't rely heavily on specific teammates
- Crit Anomaly: One of few Anomaly characters that can crit their DoT
Her main limitation is the need for extended field time, which doesn't synergize well with modern quick-swap teams. However, she's still incredibly powerful when built around properly.
Soldier 0 Anby - The Aftershock Assassin (A Tier)
S0 Anby (or SAnby) is a completely different beast from regular Anby, functioning as a powerful on-field Attack character with unique Follow-up Attack mechanics.
Her strengths include:
- Aftershock Damage: Massive burst potential through Follow-up Attacks
- Electric Synergy: Works exceptionally well with Trigger and Pulchra
- White Thunder Stacks: Unique mechanic that amplifies her damage
- Versatile Playstyle: Can function as both main and sub-DPS
- Premium Power: Rivals limited S-rank characters in performance
She requires specific team compositions to truly shine, particularly with other Aftershock enablers. Her complex mechanics also demand practice to master effectively.
Zhu Yuan - The Ether Sniper (A Tier)
Zhu Yuan exemplifies the burst DPS archetype with her Enhanced Shotshell mechanic, dealing massive damage in short windows.
Key advantages:
- Enhanced Shotshells: Devastating burst damage potential
- Suppressive Mode: Unique shooting stance with high multipliers
- Stun Window Synergy: Benefits greatly from extended Stun durations
- Range Advantage: Can maintain distance from dangerous enemies
- Qingyi Partnership: Forms one of the strongest classic DPS + Stun duos
Her reliance on resource management and Stun windows makes her less flexible than newer DPS options, but she remains highly effective in the right teams.
Harumasa - The Electric Archer (A Tier)
Harumasa brings a unique Electro Quiver mechanic that enables powerful coordinated attacks and burst damage windows.
His notable features:
- Electro Quiver System: Places damaging zones that enable combos
- Teleportation: Special dash allows instant repositioning to marked enemies
- Burst Windows: Enhanced damage during specific skill rotations
- Section 6 Synergy: Benefits from faction bonuses with Miyabi/Yanagi
- High Skill Expression: Rewards players who master his marking system
While powerful, he requires high Anomaly buildup support to maximize his damage potential, making team composition crucial for his success.
B-Tier Characters - The Solid Performers
Pulchra - The Trap Master (B+ Tier)
Pulchra specializes in off-field Stun support through her unique Binding Trap mechanic, making her an excellent partner for Aftershock-focused teams.
Her key features:
- Hunter's Gait: Enables 6-8 coordinated attacks from off-field
- Binding Trap: Increases enemy damage taken from Follow-up Attacks
- Aftershock Synergy: Perfect partner for S0 Anby and similar characters
- Minimal Field Time: Functions almost entirely off-field
- M6 Power Spike: Becomes significantly stronger at max Mindscape
While she's never the best option for any team, she serves as a solid replacement for premium Stun characters and has unique synergy with specific DPS units.
Lucy - The Piggy Bank (B+ Tier)
Lucy is pretty much ZZZ's jack of all trades, master of none. She's a reliable support who fits into many teams.
- Universal ATK Buff: Benefits any damage dealer up to 600 ATK
- Off-Field Presence: Boars continue attacking while she's benched
- F2P Accessibility: Easy to obtain and build
- Sons of Calydon Synergy: Extra buffs with faction members
- Fire Team Support: Particularly effective with Burnice and Soldier 11
She's been somewhat outclassed by premium supports, but remains an excellent budget option for newer players.
Soukaku - The Ice Support (B+ Tier)
Soukaku has found new relevance thanks to strong Ice DPS characters, particularly Miyabi and Ellen.
Her strengths:
- Ice DMG Amplification: Significant boost for Ice teams
- ATK Transfer: Unique buff mechanic based on her own ATK
- Fly the Flag: Powerful buff state with proper Vortex management
- Miyabi Synergy: One of her best teammates
- F2P Option: Accessible to all players
Her slow animations and limited versatility keep her from higher tiers, but she's invaluable for Ice teams.
Pan Yinhu - The Rupture Pioneer (B+ Tier)
As the first character designed specifically to support Rupture agents, Pan Yinhu has a unique but limited role in the current meta.
His capabilities:
- Rupture Support: Currently the only dedicated Rupture buffer
- Quick Assist Enabler: Triggers beneficial effects for Yixuan
- Defensive Utility: Provides shields and damage reduction
- Physical Application: Can enable some Assault teams
- Future Potential: Will likely improve as more Rupture agents release
His narrow focus means he's essentially a "Yixuan-only" support for now, but he fills that role adequately.
Nicole - The Debuffer (B Tier)
Nicole remains relevant as a DEF shredder, especially when paired with other supports like Astra Yao.
Her complete kit offers:
- DEF Reduction: Multiplicative damage increase that stacks with other buffs
- Grouping Ability: Gathers enemies for easy AoE damage
- Ether Anomaly: Can enable Corruption for teammates like Vivian
- F2P Availability: Free early game character everyone has
- Universal Application: Works in any team that deals damage
She's showing her age but still has niche uses in certain team compositions, particularly for newer players.
Seth - The Shield Bearer (B Tier)
Seth struggles to find his place in the current meta but remains a functional Anomaly support option.
His offerings include:
- Anomaly Proficiency Buff: Increases team's Anomaly buildup
- Shield Generation: Provides survivability for squishy teams
- Electric Application: Can help with Shock buildup
- Flexible Role: Functions as both Defense and Support
- Budget Option: Decent alternative to premium supports
He's been largely replaced by stronger options like Caesar and Astra, but can still function adequately in Anomaly teams.
Rina - The Puppet Master (B Tier)
Rina's unique playstyle and PEN Ratio buffs give her a specific niche, though she struggles to compete with modern supports.
Her key features:
- PEN Ratio Buff: Team-wide penetration increase
- Bangboo Companions: Unique puppet combat system
- Safe Positioning: Can attack from long range
- Electric Support: Specifically buffs Shock damage
- Yanagi Synergy: One of few teams where she excels
Her anti-synergy with DEF shredders like Nicole and the availability of stronger buffers limit her usage significantly.
Soldier 11 - The Flame Soldier (B Tier)
Soldier 11 is a straightforward Fire DPS who rewards mechanical skill but lacks the ceiling of newer attackers.
Her characteristics:
- Fire Suppression: Gains buffs for maintaining her stance
- Consistent Damage: Steady output rather than burst
- Lighter Partnership: Gains significant buffs from his support
- Simple Gameplay: Easy to understand, hard to master
- Power Crept: Outclassed by Evelyn in most scenarios
She remains functional but has been overshadowed by more versatile and powerful Fire options.
Grace - The Shock Specialist (B Tier)
Grace was one of the first Anomaly characters and unfortunately shows her age in the current meta.
Her kit includes:
- High Shock Application: Still one of the fastest Electric Anomaly builders
- Grenade Mechanics: Unique AoE damage patterns
- Simple Playstyle: Straightforward to use effectively
- Budget Anomaly Option: Accessible permanent character
- Limited Synergies: Lacks the utility of newer Anomaly agents
She can still function in Electric teams but has been largely replaced by Yanagi for Anomaly gameplay.
Piper - The Spinning Top (B Tier)
Piper offers accessible Physical Anomaly gameplay with her unique spinning mechanics.
Her strengths:
- Spin to Win: Simple but effective damage rotation
- Team Damage Buff: Provides party-wide buffs at max Power stacks
- Wide AoE: Excellent for handling multiple enemies
- F2P Friendly: Performs well even at lower investment
- Easy Execution: One of the simplest Anomaly characters to play
She's essentially a budget version of Jane Doe - functional but lacking the power and versatility of premium options.
Corin - The Chainsaw Maid (B Tier)
Corin offers high single-target damage potential but requires specific support to function optimally.
Her features:
- Chainsaw Mode: High damage during extended attack sequences
- Quick Assist Synergy: Benefits greatly from modern support options
- Single Target Focus: Excels against bosses
- High Investment Ceiling: Scales well with resources
- Positional Requirements: Needs careful positioning to maximize damage
Recent Quick Assist supports like Astra have given her new life, but she still requires significant investment to compete.
Koleda - The Tiny CEO (B Tier)
Koleda brings fast Stun application and team support but has been outclassed by newer options.
Her capabilities:
- Burst Stun: Can quickly daze smaller enemies
- Chain Attack Buff: Increases party damage during Stun windows
- Ben Synergy: Best performance requires specific teammate
- Hammer Time: Satisfying impact-heavy gameplay
- Fire Teams: Still functional in mono-Fire compositions
She's fallen far from her early game prominence but remains usable for players who enjoy her playstyle.
C-Tier Characters - The Struggling Veterans
Anton - The Electric Bro (C Tier)
Anton has fallen significantly in the meta despite his enthusiastic personality and unique drill mechanics.
His characteristics:
- Bro Mode: Accumulates energy for enhanced drill attacks
- Electric Burst: Decent damage during powered-up state
- Team Dependency: Requires specific supports to function
- Animation Lock: Long attack animations leave him vulnerable
- Power Crept: Severely outclassed by modern Electric DPS
While he can still clear content with heavy investment, there's little reason to choose him over superior alternatives.
Anby - The Starter (C Tier)
The free starter Stun character has unfortunately been powercrept significantly by every subsequent Stun release.
Her kit offers:
- F2P Accessibility: Everyone has her from the start
- Basic Stun Function: Can daze enemies adequately
- Electric Application: Helps with Shock buildup
- Simple Combos: Easy to learn for beginners
- Limited Utility: Offers nothing beyond basic stunning
She's perfectly serviceable for early game but should be replaced as soon as possible by any other Stun character.
Billy - The Gunslinging Robot (C Tier)
Billy serves as the free Physical ranged attacker but struggles to keep up with modern damage requirements.
His features include:
- Ranged Safety: Can attack from distance
- Burst Mode: Enhanced damage during ultimate
- Story Relevance: Fan favorite character personality
- No Investment Needed: Works adequately at base level
- Severe Limitations: Lowest damage ceiling among attackers
He's mainly used for his personality and story presence rather than combat effectiveness.
Nekomata - The Swift Striker (C Tier)
Once considered top-tier for her speed, Nekomata has been left behind by power creep and meta shifts.
Her former strengths:
- Attack Speed: Still has the fastest basic attack chains
- Wide Ultimate: Good AoE coverage on her special
- Early Game Carry: Can help new players progress
- Quick Rotations: Minimal animation commitment
- Outdated Kit: Lacks modern damage multipliers and utility
She desperately needs buffs or a rework to become relevant again in the current meta.
Ben - The Forgotten Tank (C Tier)
Poor Ben has been left behind by the meta entirely, serving as a relic of when pure tanks were thought necessary.
His outdated kit:
- Maximum Defense: Still the tankiest character in the game
- Taunt Mechanics: Can draw enemy attention
- Counter Damage: Deals damage when blocking
- Team Shield: Provides minor damage reduction
- Zero Relevance: Current content doesn't require pure tanks
Unless you absolutely need a pure tank (which you don't in current content), there's no reason to use Ben. The game's shift toward active defense through dodging and shields has made his entire archetype obsolete.

Conclusion
The Zenless Zone Zero meta continues to evolve with each update, and Version 2.0 has brought some of the most significant changes yet. While Yixuan and Miyabi currently dominate the tier list, remember that player skill matters just as much as character selection.
I recommend focusing on 1-2 strong teams rather than spreading your resources thin. And most importantly - play characters you enjoy! Even B-tier characters can clear all content with proper investment and team building.
This tier list will be updated monthly as new characters release and balance changes occur. Make sure to bookmark this page and check back regularly!
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the strongest character in Zenless Zone Zero?
Currently, Yixuan and Miyabi share the top spot as the strongest characters in ZZZ. Yixuan excels as a Rupture DPS with her unique Sheer Damage that ignores defenses, while Miyabi dominates as an Anomaly DPS with her exclusive Frost mechanics. Both can clear endgame content with ease when properly built.
Is Zenless Zone Zero F2P friendly?
Yes, ZZZ is relatively F2P friendly. You can clear all content with free and A-rank characters, though it requires more investment and skill. The game provides a steady stream of Polychromes through events and monthly content. Focus on building 1-2 solid teams rather than collecting every character.
What is the best team comp in ZZZ?
The current best team comp is Yixuan + Pan Yinhu + Astra Yao, leveraging the new Rupture mechanics. However, Miyabi + Yanagi + Vivian is equally powerful for Disorder-focused gameplay. The "best" team ultimately depends on your available characters and playstyle preference.
Should I pull for Yixuan or wait?
If you need a top-tier DPS and have the resources, Yixuan is absolutely worth pulling. She's future-proof with her unique mechanics and rivals Miyabi in power. However, if you already have a strong DPS like Miyabi or Ellen, you might want to save for upcoming Support or Sub-DPS characters instead.
How often does the tier list change?
The tier list typically sees minor adjustments with each patch (every 6 weeks) and major changes with new character releases. Version updates (like 2.0) can bring significant meta shifts through new mechanics or balance changes. I update this list monthly to reflect the current meta.
