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 four S-tier agents represent the absolute pinnacle of performance in Zenless Zone Zero, essential 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.
- Astra Yao functions as the ultimate support agent, providing crucial buffs and utility that elevate entire team compositions to unprecedented performance levels across all content types.
- 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 reliable damage dealers in the game.
- Caesar rounds out this elite tier as a premier defensive and offensive hybrid, offering unparalleled utility and damage support that makes her indispensable in high-level encounters.
A Tier
A-tier agents are powerful and fully capable of carrying players through endgame content, offering strong performance with the right team support.
- Vivian brings exceptional offensive capabilities and unique mechanics that make her a compelling pick for challenging content.
- Jane Doe and Piper both shine as reliable anomaly-focused damage dealers with solid team synergies.
- Rina provides excellent electric-based support and buffing utility, while Lucy offers consistent team-wide damage amplification.
- Seth rounds out this tier as a dependable defensive support with useful shielding and utility contributions.
B Tier
B-tier agents are serviceable picks that can perform well in specific team compositions or niche scenarios, though they generally fall short of higher-tier alternatives. Sunna, Dialyn, Nangong Yu, Lucia, Yazuha, Hugo, Koleda, Nekomata, Corin, Von Lycaon, and Anton all occupy this tier, each offering situational value without consistently competing at the top level.
C Tier
C-tier agents struggle to keep pace with the current meta and are generally outclassed by stronger alternatives. Trigger, Promeia, Seed, Alice Thymefield, Anby Soldier 0, Evelyn Chevalier, Tsukishiro Yanagi, Yidhari Murphy, and Pulchra can function in casual play but are difficult to recommend for serious endgame content.
D Tier
Billy sits alone at the bottom of the tier list, offering minimal competitive value in the current meta. Severely outclassed by virtually every other agent, Billy is best reserved for casual play or collection purposes rather than any serious endgame push.
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.
