Zenless Zone Zero 1.2 Ultimate Agent Tier List (September 2024)

Caesar is the newest agent added to the game, and she’s the go-to support unit to pick up right now. She can buff, stun, and even shield your whole team, while also being versatile enough that you can use her in any setup. You should build her if you have her. And if not, what are you waiting for?

Despite releasing in 1.0, Ellen is still one of the strongest DPS characters in the game. Given that a lot of the end-game modes often have enemies that are weak to Ice, Ellen is going to be part of the meta for a long time and is worth investing in.

Zhu Yuan is one of only two Ether Agents, and being a main DPS makes her crucial to have in modes where enemies have Ether weaknesses. She is a great burst DPS agent who can deal a ridiculous amount of damage and is worth building.

Jane Doe is the first premium Anomaly Agent that players got, and she’s up in the S-Tier for a reason. Her ability to deal ridiculous damage with Assault Crits swifts ZZZ into an easy mode, allowing you to clear any of the end-game modes without difficulty.

Despite being one of the standard agents, Lycaon is a crucial part of Ellen’s best team and is also the only Ice Stun Agent, making him indispensable in the current version of the game. Couple that with his ability to easily stun enemies, and you can see why he’s easily in the S-Tier.

Qingyi is a powerhouse when it comes to stunning enemies and increasing your Stun DMG Multiplier. She’s a great unit to have on a ton of teams, and she creates opportunities for some ridiculous burst damage windows.

Grace is a decent choice for both a main DPS and a sub-DPS. Her ability to quickly apply Shock is great in any Electric team, and she pairs well with Jane Doe for a solid Disorder team core.

Koleda is one of the original stunners and is also the only Fire Stunner as of Version 1.2. She is great at building Daze through her skill and doesn’t require a ton of field time, which makes her great for teams with on-field hungry carries such as Soldier 11.

Nicole is one of the Agents everyone gets when they first start, and she’s honestly amazing. Not only is she able to group enemies, but she can also increase both Ether DMG and overall DMG by debuffing enemies, making her a good pick in almost any team.

Soukaku is the other premium support unit besides Nicole. She is great at both increasing the team’s ATK and reducing their Ice Resistance, making her one of the best supports in any Ice-based team.

Seth is the latest support/defense unit to be added to the game, and he’s currently the best, if not the only, Anomaly support. He’s a must-pick in any Anomaly team, and that is likely to remain the case for some time. So if you’re planning on building Anomaly teams, then you should consider investing in him.

Nekomata is a solid DPS character, but unfortunately, she tends to be somewhat harder to play than other DPS units, while also having more limited teams and lower overall damage potential.

Soldier 11 suffers from the same problems as Nekomata. The timing on her Basic Attacks needs some getting used to, and if you do not have a good set of Drive Discs, you might say goodbye to clearing Shinyu 7 with an S.

Piper was considered the premium Physical Anomaly unit before Jane Doe’s release, but after she quickly dropped on the list, Jane Doe is simply better in every way. That is not to say that Piper is bad; she can still proc Assault quickly and is a good unit to have in any Disorder team.

Anby is one of the free characters that you get at the beginning of the game and is also a decent Electric Stunner to get you started on your journey. That being said, she somewhat fell off due to the introduction of Qingyi but is still usable in a ton of teams, the most famous ones being Jane Doe, Seth, and Anby.

Lucy is a decent support who is not bad in any way; however, she’s simply overshadowed by all of the other supports currently in the game. Additionally, the lack of a solid Fire DPS makes her a bit clunky to use at the moment. That being said, she can easily climb up in the future.

Rina is one of the standard S-Rank Agents, and despite this, she is not as great as everyone originally thought her to be. PEN Reduction is a bit of an awkward debuff to manage and is not as powerful as, let’s say a flat DMG or ATK increase. That being said, Rina’s ability to increase Shock duration is amazing in Electric Teams.

Anton is a bit of an oddball. He’s able to dish out a ton of damage with his Ultimate, even reaching upwards of 1,000,000 damage. That being said, he is generally limited to Shock teams and is not useful anywhere else. He is also highly reliant on Mindscapes, so unless you have him at M6, you might want to hold off on building him.

Billy is in a similar position to Anton. He’s the Agent with arguably the highest damage potential in the game, but he’s extremely hard to play and optimize efficiently. Those who’ve mastered him can do some crazy clears, but he’s not recommended for beginners.

Corin is one of the free Agents everyone received as part of the pre-registration rewards. She is a good Physical carry, being able to quickly proc Assault and deal a lot of damage. But given the release of Jane and just overall Physical Anomaly Agents being better, she’s not seeing a ton of usage.

Ben is in an awkward place as a character, as his biggest gimmick is his shield-generating ability, which is not that useful in the grand scheme of things. As it stands right now, he’s an inferior version of Caesar and a character that might not be worth investing in unless you’re committed to him.
