Zenless Zone Zero Tier List Unleashed

This Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ) tier list ranks all 1.0 characters, updated December 24, 2024, reflecting the current meta. Tier rankings are subject to change with new character releases and meta shifts. For example, while Grace was initially top-tier, the introduction of powerful Anomaly units like Miyabi has diminished her relevance.

S-Tier: These units excel in their roles and synergize effectively.

• Miyabi: Exceptional Frost damage dealer with high potential, though requiring strategic play.
• Jane Doe: Superior to Piper, delivering significantly higher Assault Anomaly damage.
• Yanagi: Efficient Disorder trigger, ideal for pairing with Anomaly characters like Miyabi.
• Zhu Yuan: High-damage DPS with Shotshells, synergizing well with Stun and Support characters (especially Qingyi and Nicole).
• Caesar: Exceptional Defense Agent with strong buffs, debuffs, and crowd control.
• Qingyi: Universal Stunner, significantly boosting damage against stunned enemies.
• Lighter: Stun Agent with substantial buffs, particularly effective with Fire and Ice characters.
• Lycaon: Ice Stunner, reducing enemy Ice resistance and boosting ally Daze DMG.
• Ellen: Ice Attack Agent, synergizing exceptionally well with Lycaon and Soukaku.
• Harumasa: High-damage Electric Attack character (initially a free unit).
• Soukaku: Ice Support, providing significant buffs to Ice units like Ellen and Lycaon.
• Rina: Support with high damage and PEN (Penetration) buffs, beneficial for Electric characters.

A-Tier: Strong units effective in specific team compositions.

• Nicole: Ether Support, boosting Ether damage and reducing enemy DEF.
• Seth: Shielder and Support, particularly useful for Anomaly DPS teams.
• Lucy: Support with off-field damage and ATK% buffs.
• Piper: High-damage Assault Anomaly dealer, effective in Anomaly-focused teams.
• Grace: Anomaly character, excels in triggering Shock and Disorder (though less impactful than initially).
• Koleda: Reliable Fire/Stun character, synergizing well with other Fire units.
• Anby: Reliable Stunner with quick combos (though susceptible to interruption).
• Soldier 11: High-damage Fire Attack character with straightforward mechanics.

B-Tier: Useful but outperformed by other characters in their roles.

• Ben: Defensive character with parry and punish abilities (but limited team benefits).
• Nekomata: High AoE damage dealer, but reliant on team synergy (potential for improvement).

C-Tier: Currently offer limited value.

• Corin: Physical Attack character with conditional high damage (outperformed by others).
• Billy: Attack character with decent Chain Attacks (but low overall damage).
• Anton: Electric Attack character with interesting Core Skill but low DPS.
