🔔 Ver. 2.6 Quick Hints:
- T0 Tier: Ye Shunguang, Dialyn, and Yixuan are the top-performing Agents in the current version. If you want to improve your efficiency in Shiyu Defense, prioritize acquiring and building these characters.
- Meta Shift: Former T0 DPS units like Ellen Joe, Zhu Yuan, and Jane Doe have dropped to T2. While still viable, they struggle to compete against the massive HP pools of Version 2.6 enemies compared to previous patches.
- Support & Burst: Astra Yao (T0) is currently the best-performing Support. Additionally, the awakened Soldier 0 - Anby (T0.5) and Hoshimi Miyabi (T0.5) remain in the top tier thanks to their high burst damage potential.
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 2.6 high-difficulty content.
Zenless Zone Zero DPS Tier List
Here you will find the best Attack and Anomaly Agents. Serving as your team's Hypercarry, their primary job is to deliver massive damage. These characters focus entirely on sheer firepower and Burst DMG to clear high-difficulty stages efficiently.
| Tier | ZZZ DPS Agents | |||||
| T0 | Ye Shunguang | Yixuan | ||||
| T0.5 | Banyue | Vivian Banshee | Soldier 0 - Anby | Yidhari Murphy | Alice Thymefield | Seed |
| T1 | Tsukishiro Yanagi | Orphie Magnusson & Magus | Hugo Vlad | Burnice White | Evelyn Chevalier | |
| T2 | Soldier 11 | Nekomiya Mana | Jane Doe | Ellen Joe | Zhu Yuan | Asaba Harumasa |
| T3 | Grace Howard | Piper Wheel | Komano Manato | |||
| T4 | Billy Kid | Anton Ivanov | Corin Wickes | |||
In the current environment, Ye Shunguang and Yixuan reign supreme at T0, defining the absolute peak of power.
These SS-rank Agents are valued not just for their raw damage multipliers, but for their superior mechanics—such as Defense Ignore and Immediate Burst capabilities—which allow them to effortlessly dismantle the high-HP bosses of Version 2.6.
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 characters specialize in Daze Efficiency and high Impact stats. They rapidly fill the Daze bar to stun enemies, which is the best way to trigger Chain Attacks. Nearly every Meta team needs a Stunner to maximize their damage window.
| Tier | ZZZ Stun Agents | |||||
| T0 | Dialyn | |||||
| T1 | Ju Fufu | Trigger | Lighter | |||
| T2 | Qingyi | Von Lycaon | Koleda Belobog | Caesar King | ||
| T3 | Pulchra Fellini | Anby Demara | ||||
In the current meta, Dialyn takes the absolute top spot (T0) as the most versatile Stunner. She fits perfectly into any team and breaks enemy shields (Daze) faster than anyone else.
T1 characters like Ju Fufu and Trigger are also excellent choices. They provide strong stun capabilities, especially when matched with the right elemental teams.
Finally, here is the Zenless Zone Zero Support Tier List. We evaluated these characters based on their ability to boost team damage, provide shields, and improve the team's overall survivability.
Zenless Zone Zero Support Tier List
These Agents excel at providing offensive buffs, shields, or Damage Amplification. They are essential for boosting your team's overall performance. A strong Support is the key to maximizing the potential of your Shiyu Defense squad.
| Tier | ZZZ Supporter Agents | |||||
| T0 | Astra Yao | Ukinami Yuzuha | Sunna | |||
| T0.5 | Zhao | Lucia Elowen | ||||
| T1 | Nicole Demara | Orphie Magnusson & Magus | Trigger | |||
| T2 | Soukaku | Pan Yinhu | Caesar King | |||
| T3 | Seth Lowell | Alexandrina Sebastiane | Luciana de Montefio | |||
| T4 | Pulchra Fellini | Ben Bigger | ||||
Astra Yao, Sunna, and Ukinami Yuzuha now dominate the T0 rankings, offering superior Damage Amplification compared to older staples like Soukaku or Nicole.
While defensive units like Caesar remain usable in T2, the current Shiyu Defense meta heavily favors these offensive supports to maximize clear speeds.
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 2.6.
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. This tier includes former top DPS like Ellen Joe and Zhu Yuan. They are still usable but now require high investment to compete with the HP pools of Version 2.6 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. 2.6 Phase 1 Characters
1. Sunna
Hailing from the enigmatic Angels of Delusion, Sunna is the whimsical music composer who proves that cuteness is justice. Armed with her meteor hammer and her bouncy companion Bubblegum, she orchestrates the battlefield with impish flair.
She commands the rhythm of combat, weaving off-field physical pressure with massive squad-wide buffs. Now, she joins the Hollow to unleash a chaotic symphony of destruction, proving she is the "purr-fect" partner for any offensive team.
| The Sunna Basic Information | ||
Sunna | Role | Support / Physical |
| Faction | Angels of Delusion | |
V2.6 Tier Rating | T0 | |
| Ability Trigger | Attack or Same Faction | |
| Core Mechanics |
| |
| Pros | Cons | |
| ✅ Huge ATK Buffs: "Angelic Chord-ination" offers massive scaling ATK boosts to the squad. ✅ Off-Field DMG: Bubblegum attacks off-field, and "Cat's Gaze" detonates via the main DPS. ✅ Guaranteed CRITs: Anomaly units trigger Cat's Gaze with a 100% CRIT rate. ✅ Utility & Sustain: Her Ultimate triggers a Quick Assist and restores HP to the whole squad. | ❌ Strict Synergy Lock: Her detonations require specifically "Attack" or "Anomaly" characters to trigger. ❌ Buff Management: Requires frequent cycling of EX Specials to maintain the Angelic Chord-ination and Ether Veil states. | |
🔔 Gameplay Tip: Keep the Gaze Active!
Never let Cat's Gaze fall off the boss. Use your EX Special Attack to summon Bubblegum, then immediately switch to your Main DPS. Ensure you trigger Ether Veil before your DPS dumps their ultimate.
The rotation should be: EX Special (Summon Bubblegum) → Switch to DPS → Trigger Cat's Gaze detonations → Refresh with Chain Attack.
2. Yixuan
Hailing from Yunkui Summit, Yixuan is the 13th High Preceptor and a Void Hunter-level master. She commands the ancient art of Auric Ink, transforming her very life force into devastating power.
As a master of the Rupture fighting style, she ignores enemy defenses with "Sheer Force," turning her high HP into unstoppable damage. She descends upon the battlefield to mentor the new generation, proving that true power comes from the balance of Yin and Yang.
| The Yixuan Basic Information | ||
Yixuan | Role | Rupture / Auric Ink |
| Faction | Yunkui Summit | |
V2.6 Tier Rating | T0 | |
| Ability Trigger | Anomaly Agents; Spook ShackStun, Support, or Defense | |
| Core Mechanics |
| |
| Pros | Cons | |
✅ Defense Ignore: "Sheer Force" melts high-defense bosses in Ver 2.6. ✅ Extremely Tanky: Scales off HP, making her hard to kill while dealing massive DMG. ✅ Double Ultimate: Can chain two Ultimates back-to-back for unrivaled burst. ✅ Perfect Block: Her EX Special can parry attacks for free energy. | ❌ High Skill Floor: Requires mastering Perfect Blocks and Adrenaline management. ❌ Gear Dependent: Needs specific HP/Crit stats to function optimally. ❌ Limited Weapon Options: F2P Rupture W-Engines are weak compared to her signature. | |
🔔 Gameplay Tip: Master the Counter!
Don't just spam your EX Special Attack. Hold the button to enter a charging stance. When an enemy attacks, release it to trigger a Perfect Block. This not only negates the damage but instantly restores 10 Adrenaline.
Use this Adrenaline to build Technique Points, allowing you to unleash the Double Ultimate Combo: Decibel Ultimate → Technique Ultimate → Basic Attack Hold (Recharge).
ZZZ Ver. 2.6 Phase 2 Characters
3. Aria
Hailing from the Angels of Delusion, Aria is the spirited main vocalist who hides a digital secret. While she appears as an energetic idol, she is actually an intelligent construct using holographic imagery to fit in.
In battle, she transforms her "Fandom Power" into devastating Ether attacks. She commands the stage with high-speed kicks and sonic waves, proving that whether human or machine, her passion for music—and destruction—is 100% real.
| The Aria Basic Information | ||
 Aria | Role | Anomaly / Ether |
| Faction | Angels of Delusion | |
V2.6 Tier Rating | Pending | |
| Ability Trigger | Stun, Support, or Same Faction | |
| Core Mechanics |
| |
| Pros | Cons | |
| ✅ Instant Charge: Skips heavy attack animations. ✅ High Burst: Massive damage on Stunned/Anomalous enemies. ✅ Resource Burst: Ultimate grants huge Fandom Power refill. ✅ Anomaly Synergy: Extends Corruption duration by 3s. | ❌ Strict Management: Needs careful balancing of Fandom Power. ❌ Slow Recovery: Relies on a full 4-hit Basic combo if resources are empty. ❌ Ultimate Dependent: Missing the Ultimate window severely drops DPS. | |
🔔 Gameplay Tip: Don't Wait, Just Drop the Beat!
Aria is all about Instant Charging. Unless absolutely necessary, never manually hold her charge attack.
Prioritize using her EX Special Attack (Full-Sugar Electronica) or the 4th hit of her Basic Attack to generate Fandom Power lightsticks. Once you have at least 2 stacks, hold Basic Attack to instantly trigger the Level 3 Charge Attack.
Recommended Combo: EX Special (Generate) → Hold Attack (Instant Smash) → Ultimate (Enter Enhanced State & Resource Burst) → Spam Instant Smashes.
4. Yuzuha
Hailing from the Spook Shack, Yuzuha is the mischievous operator of the paranormal forum. Armed with her umbrella and accompanied by her tanuki companion Kama, she turns the battlefield into a haunted playground.
As a Physical Support, she specializes in "Sweet Scare" tactics, debuffing enemies and empowering her team's Anomaly buildup. With her "Sugar Points" and parry mechanics, she proves that a little prank can go a long way in the Hollow.
| The Yuzuha Basic Information | ||
Yuzuha | Role | Support / Physical |
| Faction | Spook Shack | |
V2.6 Tier Rating | T0 | |
| Ability Trigger | Anomaly Agents; Spook Shack | |
| Core Mechanics |
| |
| Pros | Cons | |
✅ Universal Anomaly Support: "Flavor Match" allows her to support Fire, Ice, or Ether teams equally well. ✅ Massive ATK Buff: Provides a huge flat ATK boost comparable to top-tier supports. ✅ Parry Queen: Her "Umbrella Block" (Hold Basic) completely negates damage and restores Sugar Points. ✅ Off-Field Application: Her Tanuki companion attacks automatically, applying Physical build-up while she is inactive. | ❌ Niche Use: Primarily designed for Anomaly/Disorder teams; less effective in pure Crit teams. ❌ Parry Timing: Requires good reflexes to maximize her Sugar Point generation via parries. ❌ Complex Kit: Understanding "Flavor Match" mechanics can be confusing for new players. | |
🔔 Gameplay Tip: The Perfect Prank Setup!
Yuzuha is the engine for Disorder Teams. Your goal is to keep Sweet Scare active 100% of the time. Start the fight with EX Special (Cavity Alert) to apply the debuff and grant the team the Tanuki Wish ATK buff.
Then, switch to your main Anomaly DPS (like Miyabi or Aria). Yuzuha's off-field attacks will help trigger Disorder massive damage procs automatically. If an enemy winds up a big attack, swap Yuzuha in and Hold Basic to parry it for free style points!
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.

We'll track version updates and adjust rankings based on environmental shifts and new mechanics like Disorder or Stun multipliers. Wishing all Proxies a smooth journey exploring New Eridu!
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!
