Zenless Zone Zero DPS Agents Tier List: Team Compositions & Stat Priorities

Among the Agents you own, which Main DPS characters have you invested in so far? Want to know their true rankings? With multiple major updates in Zenless Zone Zero, numerous Main DPS options have emerged. How do top-tier Proxies objectively rank them?

This article will tier all current Main DPS Agents based on: learning curves, resource investment returns, environmental adaptability, and team compatibility. As most players' builds and playstyles vary, mindscapes won't affect rankings. Results may differ from expectations-we appreciate your understanding!

Zenless Zone Zero S-Tier Main DPS Agents Rank 11: Grace Howard

Grace Howard functions less as a Main DPS and more as a support unit. When not in the primary damage role, she excels as a sub-DPS for Bernice or Hoshimiya, or serves as an energy battery for specific Agents. However, whether at Mindscape 0 or 6, players should abandon any expectation of her being a viable Main DPS.

While our focus remains on S-tier Main DPS rankings (hence Grace's lower placement), she outperforms many A-tier counterparts. Below are Grace's optimal team compositions and BiS (Best-in-Slot) stats:

Zenless Zone Zero S-Tier Main DPS Agents Rank 10: Nekomiya Mana

Nekomiya Mana has become obsolete alongside standard banner characters. For new players prioritizing optimal progression-though both Grace and Nekomiya possess visual appeal-rerolling a new account is advisable if you pull them.

Notably, Nekomiya functions as a Qingyi-dependent agent. Her recommended team compositions and BiS stats are tabled below:

Zenless Zone Zero S-Tier Main DPS Agents Rank 9: Asaba Harumasa

While many players hype Asaba Harumasa, one shouldn't be deceived by curated gameplay clips. For average Proxies, his steep learning curve makes consistent high performance nearly unattainable. The optimal advice remains: avoid investing in Asaba unless absolutely necessary (e.g., lacking Zhu Yuan or Tsukishiro Yanagi). In virtually all scenarios where Asaba applies, Zhu Yuan, Tsukishiro, or even Soukaku achieve better results with lower investment.

Though Version 1.6's Electro team enhancements marginally benefit Asaba, mastering him demands excessive time/energy. His recommended team compositions and BiS (Best-in-Slot) stats are tabled below:

Zenless Zone Zero S-Tier Main DPS Agents Rank 8: Ellen Joe

Ellen Joe has been a staple since Version 1.0, maintaining decent combat viability despite newer Agents' powercreep. While adorable and moderately strong, she struggles to keep pace with modern meta demands. Caesar's introduction revitalized this veteran Agent-even without external buffs, Ellen now achieves competitive performance through Caesar's synergy.

Zenless Zone Zero S-Tier Main DPS Agents Rank 7: Soldier 0 Anby

Soldier 0 Anby is clearly underrated here. The significance of the upcoming "Trigger" banner to Soldier 0 Anby surpasses even Qingyi's importance to Zhu Yuan. While Qingyi/Zhu Yuan focus on burst damage during Daze phases, Soldier 0 Anby redistributes pursuit mechanics across the entire team. Trigger is undeniably one of Soldier 0 Anby's core throttle pedals.

Zenless Zone Zero S-Tier Main DPS Agents Rank 6: Soldier 11

Soldier 11's current ranking might seem inflated, but she excels against specific enemy types. If uncertain whom to invest in, Soldier 11 remains a foolproof choice-arguably the easiest Main DPS to gear up for endgame.

Soldier 11's Team Compositions & BiS (Best-in-Slot) Stats:

Zenless Zone Zero S-Tier Main DPS Agents Rank 5: Jane Doe

Jane Doe's current placement might appear inflated. Her overreliance on signature Harmonic weapons persists, with no environmental buffs received from Versions 1.4 to 1.6. Only Jane Doe builds with Anomaly Proficiency exceeding 452 avoid being benched.

Jane Doe's Team Compositions & BiS (Best-in-Slot) Stats:

Zenless Zone Zero S-Tier Main DPS Agents Rank 4: Tsukishiro Yanagi

Tsukishiro Yanagi demonstrates exceptional overall performance, with each invested Mindscape granting substantial power spikes. The sole drawback lies in her clunky 0+0 baseline experience. Crucially, improvements across stats, Mindscapes, and team investment synergize to solidify her position as the premier Electro Main DPS.

Tsukishiro Yanagi's Team Compositions & BiS (Best-in-Slot) Stats:

Zenless Zone Zero S-Tier Main DPS Agents Rank 3: Zhu Yuan

Before Evelyn's debut, Zhu Yuan dominated the Stagger Burst meta for half a year. Her sole notable weakness lies in rigid team compositions-being forced to pair with Qingyi pressures other team strategies. Yet this lineup's tactical coherence makes it deservedly secure a top-three position.

Zhu Yuan's Team Compositions & BiS (Best-in-Slot) Stats:

Zenless Zone Zero S-Tier Main DPS Agents Rank 2: Evelyn Chevalier

Evelyn's team-agnostic nature allows her to unleash devastating burst potential whether paired with Lighter, Caesar, Qingyi, or Koleda. However, her mechanically demanding playstyle proves challenging-many players struggle to optimize her performance.

Evelyn Chevalier's Team Compositions & BiS (Best-in-Slot) Stats:

Zenless Zone Zero S-Tier Main DPS Agents Rank 1: Hoshimi Miyabi

Predicting the top Void Hunter Agent Hoshimi Miyabi was challenging. Hoshimiya stands unparalleled-her perfection, overwhelming power, and unapproachable status make her the undisputed #1. Exceptional team-building flexibility and fault tolerance cement her dominance.

Hoshimi Miyabi's Team Compositions & BiS (Best-in-Slot) Stats:

This concludes our S-tier Main DPS Agents ranking. A final disclaimer: rankings solely reflect character strength metrics. Actual combat performance hinges on player mastery and team compositions. We hope this guide helps Proxies optimize their team-building strategies. Stay tuned for future content and official merchandise!
