Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5: Top 5 Bangboo for Your Team

Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5 has entered its final phase. For veteran players, the enhancements Bangboo provide to teams may seem relatively limited. However, as the number of Bangboo continues to grow, their utility is gradually increasing. Today we'll break down the TOP5 strongest Bangboo in Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5 - all packed with maximum combat strength.

Top5: Ether Attribute "Resonaboo"

New S-Rank Bangboo on the tier list. As an S-Rank Ether Bangboo, Harmonizer Boo not only deals damage and accumulates energy but also triggers crowd-gathering effects. Its robust functionality makes it particularly effective against normal enemies during combat.

However, the Resonaboo's rising recommendation lies in the current meta dominance of the dual Support setup featuring Astra Yao + Nicole. This combination amplifies Resonaboo's ability to boost Ether Anomaly Accumulation in dual-Support teams, accelerating the team's Disorder triggering efficiency. Its enhanced utility makes Resonaboo a must-level Bangboo for players running Astra-Nicole dual Support teams, especially when supporting agents like Hoshimi Miyabi. Its combat performance remains exceptionally potent.

Top 4: "Avocaboo"

As an A-Rank Bangboo, Avocaboo operates on a completely different axis compared to other Bangboo. Instead of prioritizing damage or anomaly accumulation, it provides sustained healing for the team, significantly enhancing team survivability during prolonged engagements.

In Zenless Zone Zero, both Shiyu Defense and Deadly Assault are short-duration engagements. Avocaboo's healing is rarely necessary unless tackling out-leveled content or high-difficulty bosses. However, the current Endless Tower feature large-scale endurance combats where Proxies must minimize damage intake to maintain optimal health thresholds for later stages. This makes Avocaboo's healing capabilities become crucial here, significantly boosting Agents' margin for error during these extended engagements.

Currently, Caesar and Astra are the primary agents providing error-mitigation support. For Proxies who already possess both, Avocaboo's necessity has diminished slightly, causing its ranking to drop to 4th place. However, it remains a high-priority choice for players lacking sustain options in their squad compositions.

Top3: Fire Attribute "Rocketboo"

The undisputed champion among Attribute Accumulation Bangboos, Rocketboo's dominance stems primarily from the meta-defining Burnice & Lucy combo. This pairing has solidified Rocketboo as a staple for unlocking enhanced synergy effects. When deployed with Anomaly DPS agents like Hoshimi Miyabi, Tsukishiro Yanagi, Jane, or Piper, it delivers exceptional performance, effectively commanding over half of all optimized Anomaly team compositions.

Furthermore, Version 1.5 has introduced the limited S-Rank Fire DPS Evelyn. When not paired with Astra, Evelyn teams running Lighter or Lucy can still equip Rocketboo to ensure higher Burn effect uptime. This strategy also applies to Soldier 11 Teams. Overall, Rocketboo currently holds the highest versatility among the five S-Rank Attribute Anomaly Accumulation Bangboos, making it a highly recommended investment for optimization.

Top2: Physical Attribute "Butler"

Butler, a power Bangboo since Version 1.0, primarily provides frontline energy restoration. While modest in value (8.8 energy per 24 seconds), this effect subtly optimizes Main DPS rotations. It enables earlier deployment of the next enhanced EX skill, allowing quicker burst phase execution to accelerate combat resolution.

Unlocking dual Victoria Housekeeping Co. Faction bonuses increases Butler's energy restoration from 8.8 to 10.56 points per cycle, alongside further functionality enhancements. However, the only currently viable dual Victoria setup is Ellen + Lycaon compositions. That said, Butler's base 8.8 energy restoration remains sufficient for most rotations, making the additional faction effects non-essential to activate.

Butler excels in team compositions heavily reliant on Enhanced EX Skill rotations, fitting seamlessly into most team setups like Tsukishiro Yanagi or Piper Main DPS cores. When teams don't require Bangboo-driven Anomaly Accumulation mechanics, Butler becomes the optimal Bangboo selection for rotation optimization.

Top1: Ether Attribute "Snap"

Snap, the newly added S-Rank Bangboo in Version 1.5, currently stands as the only S-Rank Bangboo offering stat buff support. At Level 60 (1-star), its Active Skill provides a 6% damage boost. While this value appears modest, it delivers effective damage amplification for Main DPS units - the buffs it provides outweigh its own damage and anomaly accumulation values in optimized rotations.

After unlocking its Additional Ability, Crackling HP restoration effects, significantly enhancing its versatility. However, since this ability requires Stars of Lyra Faction alignment to activate, only Evelyn Main DPS teams can fully utilize its upgraded kit.

Crackling Snap as the only S-Rank Bangboo providing damage buffs elevates it far above all other Bangboo. It fits into any squad composition without hesitation, offering extremely cost-effective value, and currently stands as the most worthwhile Bangboo to max out at 5-star refinement.

These represent the most investment-worthy Bangboo in the current version. However, Bangboo's impact on final team performance remains marginal.
