There's just something so good about the Victoria Housekeeping Faction. Alexandrina Sebastiane, or better known as Rina, is a very strong supporting Agent. She is easily the best Support to grab for your squad. She is able to deal damage and buff teammates off-field, which means even after switching to a different Agent, some of her skills can remain to deal damage.

Von Lycaon is an incredibly strong Stunning Agent that can also deal Burst damages. It is a high value Agent as it can deal damage to enemy's Daze bars and immobilize them. Ellen Joe, being the first banner-featured Agent is of course high up on the Zenless Zone Zero Tierlist. She is a high DPS (damage per second) Agent that can deal massive damage from powerful combos.

And our last S-Tier Agent is the upcoming Zhu Yuan. On top of being a banner-featured Agent, which makes her high value, she is also the second character that owns the Ether Attribute. This makes her a hot choice among the ZZZ Agents.

A-Tier Agents in Zenless Zone Zero

  • Luciana De Montefio
  • Nicole Demara
  • Koleda Belobog
  • Nekomata
  • Piper Wheel
  • Soldier 11
  • Grace Howard
  • Anby Demara

The A-Tier is basically a ground for very good Agents. Despite being lower in the Zenless Zone Zero Tierlist, grabbing them will still make your squad a formidable force. We have Lady Lucy who can deal descent damage off-field, Soldier 11 and Koleda Belobog with immense Fire damage, and Nekomata with agility and rapid attacks.

Anby Demara and Piper Wheel are Stunners that can be very helpful to increase enemy's Daze bar. Nicole Demara is also a popular pick as she is currently the only Ether unit available. She will definitely be a stronger Agent once Zhu Yuan releases as both Agents can have the Attribute combo.

Grace Howard can deal a lot of damage and she has a simpler gameplay compared to most Agents which makes her a great choice for beginners.

B-Tier Agents in Zenless Zone Zero

  • Billy Kid
  • Soukaku

We all love Billy Kid but on this ZZZ Tierlist, he is seated on the B-Tier. The shooter Agent is very fun to play and is the only ranged right-clicker in this game. He has decent damage and solid AOE (area of effect) skills. But for the late game team building, there are better Agents to go for. Overall, Billy Kid is an incredible starting Agent, but he remains an early pick.

Soukaku is also a great Supporting Agent. She deals plenty of damage and can also buff her teammates after a swap, gaining them ATK boost. Soukaku is a descent Agent but again, there are plenty of better options.

C-Tier Agents in Zenless Zone Zero

  • Anton Ivanov
  • Ben Bigger

There is something lackluster about Anton Ivanov's kit that makes him a C-Tier Agent. He has the potential to deal tons of Fire Damage but he requires a certain timing for him to peak. This could be a weakness when compared to other Agents that are able to go insane-mode all throughout battle.

Ben Bigger is the only Defense unit which should make him somewhat valuable. But he can feel like a weight in your squad with his less-than-descent damage and mediocre team buffs. He also has a slow movement speed which can feel annoying in battles.

D-Tier Agent(s) in Zenless Zone Zero

  • Corin Wickes

Corin Wickes is the only D-Tier Agent in our Zenless Zone Zero Tierlist. She has a fun playstyle and a unique saw weapon that she uses to deal Physical Damage. However, her kit and overall gameplay is very bland and lackluster. There are many other Physical Damage options that are a better choice when compared to her.


And that sums up our Zenless Zone Zero Tierlist! This is of course not absolute and can change over time as we dive into Zenless Zone Zero deeper. At the end of the day, the best way to enjoy the game is to play Agents that personally click with your preference and playstyle!
