T0 Characters – The Absolute Best
These are the must-have Agents that define the current meta. If you have these characters, your endgame experience will be significantly easier.
T0 DPS Agents
Ye Shunguang ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The current queen of DPS in Zenless Zone Zero. Ye Shunguang dominates with her Enlightened Mind state and innate CRIT Rate stat, making her incredibly easy to build while dealing astronomical damage. Her Physical Attack typing means she works with virtually any ATK or Crit-based support, and her Ultimate-focused playstyle pairs perfectly with the new Stun Agent Dialyn.
Why T0: Highest damage ceiling in the game, easy to build, flexible team composition Best Team: Ye Shunguang + Zhao + Dialyn Key Strength: Ultimate spam potential with Decibel battery supports
Hoshimi Miyabi ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Miyabi remains a top-tier Anomaly DPS with her devastating Frostburn mechanic and Shimotsuki Basic Attack. When equipped with the Hailstorm Shrine W-Engine, she can output some of the highest damage numbers in the game, especially against enemies vulnerable to freeze effects.
Why T0: Massive Anomaly damage, excellent crowd control, scales incredibly well Best Team: Miyabi + Yuzuha + Lighter Key Strength: Frostburn + Disorder damage multiplication
Yixuan ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The technical master’s choice. Yixuan is a Rupture specialist who deals Sheer Force DMG that ignores enemy DEF. While she requires precise timing and execution, her damage output when played optimally is unmatched among Rupture DPS characters.
Why T0: DEF-ignoring damage, incredible burst potential Best Team: Yixuan + Astra + Ju Fufu Key Strength: Sheer Force mechanic + high skill ceiling
T0 Support Agents
Astra Yao ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The most versatile Support in the game. Astra provides comprehensive ATK and DMG buffs while allowing other units to use their Chain Attacks as Assists. Her Ultimate also provides healing, making her invaluable for survival in challenging content.
Why T0: Universal buffs, Chain Attack assistance, healing Best Team: Works with virtually any DPS Key Strength: Flexibility across all team compositions
Ukinami Yuzuha ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The premier Anomaly Support and essential for any Anomaly-focused team. Yuzuha buffs the party’s ATK, Anomaly DMG, and Anomaly Buildup Rate, making her irreplaceable for characters like Miyabi and Alice.
Why T0: Best Anomaly support, massive damage amplification Best Team: Any Anomaly composition Key Strength: Anomaly Buildup Rate increase
Sunna ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The newest T0 Support addition from the Angels of Delusion. Sunna increases team damage output with Cat’s Gaze and enhances ATK through Ether Veil activation. She particularly shines with Ye Shunguang but provides value to virtually any Attack-scaling team.
Why T0: Ether Veil mechanic, Stun DMG multiplier, flexible Best Team: Ye Shunguang + Zhao + Sunna Key Strength: Stun window damage amplification
T0 Stun Agents
Dialyn ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The game-changing new Stun Agent that has revolutionized team building. Dialyn provides a free Ultimate attack to one teammate without consuming Decibel, increases Stun duration, and boosts Stun multiplier. She’s essential for characters with enhanced Ultimate states.
Why T0: Free Ultimate, extended Stun duration, unique buffs Best Team: Ye Shunguang + Zhao + Dialyn Key Strength: Ultimate acceleration for burst characters
Ju Fufu ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The off-field Stun specialist who buffs the entire team’s CRIT DMG while stunning from a distance. Ju Fufu increases team Decibels by 1000 and refunds 300 Decibels to Attack or Rupture agents when they use their Ultimate.
Why T0: Off-field Stun, CRIT DMG buffs, Decibel generation Best Team: Yixuan + Astra + Ju Fufu Key Strength: Sustained Stun application + damage buffs
T1+ Characters – Excellent Meta Performers
These characters are just a step below T0 and can easily compete with the best when built properly.
T1+ DPS Agents
Vivian ⭐⭐⭐⭐
An off-field Ether Anomaly unit that excels at increasing Disorder damage with her Abloom mechanic. Vivian shines brightest when paired with a second Anomaly unit, making her perfect for dual-Anomaly compositions.
Why T1+: Excellent Disorder damage, off-field presence Best Team: Vivian + Alice + Yuzuha Key Strength: Abloom + Disorder synergy
Soldier 0 – Anby ⭐⭐⭐⭐
A powerful Attack unit who stacks White Thunder on enemies for devastating Aftershock damage. Soldier 0 Anby performs best when kept on-field for extended periods, making her ideal for players who prefer active playstyles.
Why T1+: High sustained damage, straightforward gameplay Best Team: Soldier 0 Anby + Astra + Lighter Key Strength: White Thunder stacking mechanic
Yidhari ⭐⭐⭐⭐
A formidable Ice Rupture DPS who becomes significantly more dangerous when her HP drops below 50%. Her Ether Veil mechanic allows for more frequent Ultimate usage, creating explosive damage opportunities during Stun windows.
Why T1+: High burst damage, HP-based scaling Best Team: Yidhari + Lucia + Trigger Key Strength: Low HP damage amplification
T1+ Support Agents
Zhao ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The free S-Rank Defense Agent who provides incredible utility. Zhao grants up to 1000 ATK, additional max HP%, and up to 40% DMG% to allies while also providing healing and personal damage output.
Why T1+: Free character, massive stat buffs, healing Best Team: Works with any DPS, especially Ye Shunguang Key Strength: Universal damage amplification
