Agents are evaluated on Daze Efficiency (Stun), Anomaly Buildup, and Burst Damage to determine their overall value in the Version 3.2.

	Lighter	Tsukishiro Yanagi	Caesar King	Qingyi	Koleda Belobog	Soldier 11

🔔 Ver. 3.2 Quick Hints:

• T0 Tier: Claret Flint, Remielle Dan, Velina Airgid, Ye Shunguang, and Dialyn dominate the current version as undisputed meta staples. Prioritize acquiring and investing in these five Agents to clear high-floor Shiyu Defense nodes with ease. 
• Meta Shift: Version 1.0 staples continue to fall behind the Version 3.2 HP inflation. Ellen Joe and Zhu Yuan have dropped down to T3, while Jane Doe holds ground in T1. While still fully playable, older carries require significantly more vertical investment and optimal supports to match newer burst rotations.
• Support & Burst: Elite flex picks Sunna and Ukinami Yuzuha lead the stacked T0.5 tier alongside Nangong Yu and Aria. Meanwhile, Hoshimi Miyabi (T1) remains a formidable burst DPS option, and Soldier 0 - Anby (T2) continues to serve as a reliable, high-value alternative for electric-weak content.

Below is the current ranking for ZZZ DPS Agents. We evaluated them based on Burst Damage, execution capability during Stun Windows, and adaptability to Version 3.2 high-difficulty content.

Zenless Zone Zero DPS Tier List

This ranking covers Attack, Anomaly, and Rupture Agents whose main role is dealing damage. Their placement follows the overall Version 3.2 character tier list, with each Agent kept in the same tier and order.

Tier	ZZZ DPS Agents
T0	Claret Flint Attack	Remielle Dan Anomaly	Velina Airgid Anomaly	Ye Shunguang Attack
T0.5	Sigrid de L'Azur Rupture	Promeia Anomaly	Cissia Attack	Aria Anomaly	Alice Thymefield Anomaly	Yixuan Rupture
T1	Pyrois Attack	Starlight - Billy Rupture	Banyue Rupture	Yidhari Murphy Rupture	Seed Attack	Hoshimi Miyabi Anomaly
	Burnice White Anomaly	Jane Doe Anomaly	Nekomiya Mana Attack
T2	Orphie Magnusson & Magus Attack	Vivian Banshee Anomaly	Soldier 0 - Anby Attack	Evelyn Chevalier Attack	Tsukishiro Yanagi Anomaly	Soldier 11 Attack
T3	Hugo Vlad Attack	Asaba Harumasa Attack	Piper Wheel Anomaly	Zhu Yuan Attack	Ellen Joe Attack
T4	Komano Manato Rupture	Grace Howard Anomaly	Anton Ivanov Attack	Corin Wickes Attack	Billy Kid Attack

In the current environment, Claret Flint, Remielle Dan, Velina Airgid, and Ye Shunguang reign supreme at T0, defining the absolute peak of damage output.

These top-tier carries are valued not just for their raw damage multipliers, but for their superior mechanics—such as Instant Charge, Immediate Burst, and rapid anomaly application—which allow them to effortlessly dismantle the high-HP bosses of Version 3.2.

Next up is the Zenless Zone Zero Stun Tier List. We have evaluated these Agents based on their Daze Efficiency, on-field time requirements, and their ability to rapidly enable the DPS units listed above.

Zenless Zone Zero Stun Tier List

These Agents specialize in building Daze and creating stun windows for the team. Their placement follows the overall Version 3.2 character tier list, with every Stun Agent kept in the same tier and order.

Tier	ZZZ Stun Agents
T0	Dialyn Stun
T0.5	Norma Hollowell Stun	Nangong Yu Stun
T2	Ju Fufu Stun	Trigger Stun	Lighter Stun	Qingyi Stun	Koleda Belobog Stun
T3	Von Lycaon Stun
T4	Pulchra Fellini Stun	Anby Demara Stun

Dialyn stands alone at T0 as the undisputed premier Stun Agent of Version 3.2, offering unmatched daze application efficiency. Norma Hollowell and Nangong Yu form a top-tier duo in T0.5. With no Stun units positioned in T1 for this update, former meta staples including Ju Fufu, Trigger, Lighter, Qingyi, and Koleda Belobog assemble into a highly competitive T2 bracket, while Von Lycaon slides to T3.

Zenless Zone Zero Support Tier List

This ranking covers Support and Defense Agents that strengthen the team through buffs, shields, survivability, or damage amplification. Their placement follows the overall Version 3.2 character tier list, with each Agent kept in the same tier and order.

Tier	ZZZ Support and Defense Agents
T0.5	Sunna Support	Ukinami Yuzuha Support
T1	Zhao Defense	Lucia Elowen Support	Astra Yao Support	Alexandrina Sebastiane Support
T2	Caesar King Defense	Nicole Demara Support
T3	Pan Yinhu Defense	Seth Lowell Defense	Luciana de Montefio Support
T4	Soukaku Support	Ben Bigger Defense

Sunna and Ukinami Yuzuha stand as the premier Support Agents in Version 3.2, reigning at T0.5 with unmatched universal buffing and utility. Zhao anchors the Defense role at T1, joined by veteran Supports Lucia Elowen, Astra Yao, and Alexandrina Sebastiane. In T2, Caesar King provides top-tier shielding value alongside Nicole Demara, while Pan Yinhu and Seth Lowell settle into T3, leaving Soukaku and Ben Bigger in T4.

Zenless Zone Zero Tier Explanation

This list ranks Agents based on their performance in Shiyu Defense (High-Difficulty Content), Hollow Zero, and their overall investment value in Version 3.2.

• Tier 0 (OP / Meta): The absolute best characters in the game. These Agents define the current Meta. They possess broken mechanics or overwhelming raw stats, allowing them to clear endgame content with ease. Priority for pulling and building.
• Tier 0.5 (Elite): Extremely powerful units that rival T0 performance. They are often the core of top-tier elemental or anomaly teams. While slightly less universal than T0, they are still highly recommended for any roster.
• Tier 1 (Strong): Reliable and effective. These characters can clear all content but may require better Drive Discs or specific teammates compared to the tiers above. They are excellent alternatives if you lack T0 units.
• Tier 2 (Viable): Solid picks that have been slightly power-crept by newer releases. They are still usable but now require high investment to compete with the HP pools of Version 3.2 enemies.
• Tier 3 (Niche): Situational characters. They generally lack the damage or utility required for speed-running Shiyu Defense. They are best used as transitional units for new players or for specific puzzle mechanics.
• Tier 4 (Weak): These Agents struggle significantly in the current environment. They suffer from low multipliers or outdated kits. Not recommended for heavy resource investment unless they are your absolute favorites.

ZZZ Ver. 3.2 Phase 1 Characters

1. Claret Flint

Serving as the Administrative Director of Flint Workshop, Claret Flint is a top-tier S-Rank Electric Agent introducing the brand-new Armorer specialty. She converts raw defensive attributes into lethal piercing power, scaling her entire offensive kit off DEF rather than traditional ATK.

In combat, Claret transforms her forging hammer into a massive Bloodaxe upon entering the Crimson Inscription state. By accumulating Gash stacks and triggering Maim bursts, she bypasses standard control checks and deals astronomical Laceration DMG whenever her CRIT Rate reaches and exceeds 100%.

Claret Flint Basic Information
Claret Flint	Role	Armorer / Electric
	Faction	Flint Workshop
	Tier Rating	T0
	Ability Trigger	Stun, Armorer, or Electric Attribute
Core Mechanics	DEF-to-Sharp Scaling: All skill multipliers scale on DEF as Sharp DMG. Extra CRIT DMG converts directly into starting CRIT Rate. Gash & Maim Bursts: Attacks build up to 3 Gash stacks on targets. Consuming Gash via Special Attacks triggers high-damage Maim AoE explosions. Laceration Check: Sharp DMG utilizes Laceration multipliers instead of standard CRIT DMG. Excess CRIT Rate above 100% triggers an extra instance of Laceration DMG.
Pros	Cons
✅ Colossal Burst: Maim detonations shred high-floor HP bars effortlessly. ✅ Built-in Invulnerability: Air maneuvers and Maim executions offer plentiful i-frames. ✅ High Self-Sufficiency: Generates massive innate CRIT Rate buffs.	❌ Strict Drive Disc Needs: Requires the new Thorned Rose set and heavy DEF% rolls. ❌ Resource Management: Demands careful tracking of Sharpness and Gash stacks.
Best Premium Team (Armorer Burst)
Claret Flint (Armorer)	Norma (Stun)	Rina (Support)

🔔 Gameplay Tip: Maximize Laceration with DEF & CRIT!

To unlock Claret's full potential, equip her signature W-Engine Crimson Thirst and a 4-piece Thorned Rose Drive Disc set. Prioritize DEF% on Slot 6 and push her CRIT Rate beyond 100% to activate secondary Laceration checks. During Stun windows, rotate: EX Special Attack (Enter Crimson Inscription) → Build Gash Stacks → Hold Special Attack (Blood Burial Assault) to trigger rapid Maim detonations!

ZZZ Ver. 3.2 Phase 2 Characters

2. Roxy

Operating alongside Claret at the Flint Workshop, Roxy (Roxy Ifrita Pryce) is an S-Rank Wind Stun agent. Easily recognizable by her pale green hair, thick-framed glasses, and signature "RIP" pendant, she is renowned as an efficient multi-tasker with unrivaled battlefield control.

Roxy's core strength lies in her high-octane vortex abilities. By channeling her EX Special Attack, she summons steering tornadoes that vacuum mobs together while generating Wind Energy. When detonated, her field traps trigger Eye of the Storm, inflicting heavy Daze and enabling clean, grouped-up burst windows for your main DPS.

Roxy Basic Information
Roxy	Role	Stun / Wind
	Faction	Flint Workshop
	Tier Rating	Phase 2 Debut
	Ability Trigger	Flint Workshop, Armorer, or Wind Attribute
Core Mechanics	Controllable Vortexes: Holding EX Special Attack unleashes a guided tornado that gathers spread-out targets while generating Wind Energy. Eye of the Storm: Expending Wind Energy leaves swirling zones on field that deal periodic Wind DMG and stagger enemies. Storm Detonation: Triggering heavy follow-ups or Chain Attacks detonates active Eyes of the Storm, building massive burst Daze.
Pros	Cons
✅ Premier Mob Grouping: Gathers entire waves in seconds with sustained tornadoes. ✅ Off-Field Daze: Eyes of the Storm continue building stagger while your DPS attacks. ✅ Great Faction Synergy: Pairs seamlessly with Claret Flint and other Armorer units.	❌ Energy Dependent: Sustaining tornado gathering demands consistent Energy generation. ❌ Positioning Sensitive: Misplaced vortexes can scatter elite enemies if detonated prematurely.
Best Synergistic Team (Flint Workshop Workshop)
Roxy (Stun)	Claret Flint (Armorer)	Lucia (Support)

🔔 Gameplay Tip: Group with Tornadoes, Swap to Burst!

Whenever entering multi-target chambers in Shiyu Defense, immediately hold Roxy's EX Special Attack to pull enemies into a tight cluster. Allow the skill to finish to plant Eye of the Storm, then Quick Assist directly into your main carry (like Claret Flint) to trigger immediate heavy strikes while enemies remain immobilized inside the vortex!

Final Thoughts

This Zenless Zone Zero tier list is a reference for current Agent strength, but remember rankings are just tools. With mastery of core mechanics and combos, even lower-ranked Agents can excel in the Hollows and clear high-difficulty Shiyu Defense.

FAQ

Which ZZZ Agents Should Beginners Prioritize Pulling?

Prioritize versatile Support or Stun Agents like Caesar or Lycaon to boost survival and Daze. For Main DPS, Jane or Zhu Yuan offer excellent investment value for early ZZZ progression.

Are Zenless Zone Zero S-Rank Agents Good Without Signature W-Engines?

Most work fine without them, though DPS drops. Support and Stun Agents perform perfectly with A-Rank W-Engines. However, Attack or Anomaly DPS Agents get major power boosts from their signatures.

Do I Need New ZZZ Characters to Run Disorder Teams?

Not necessarily. While Jane, Burnice, or Aria excel here, many existing Anomaly Agents work well. The key is pairing Sub-DPS who quickly apply Anomalies, like using Piper or Grace to trigger them.

Are A-Rank Agents Worth Building in Zenless Zone Zero?

Yes, many are highly practical. Soukaku is top-tier Ice support, Nicole's DEF shred is irreplaceable for Ether, and Seth provides great shields. If you lack S-Rank ZZZ characters here, build them!
