1. Tier S+ Characters – The Best

Zenless Zone Zero, the urban fantasy hack and slash from HoYoverse, features a dynamically engaging combat system that revolves around the skills, attributes, and fighting styles of its main characters. Each character has various combos, tricks, and even levels and statistics that significantly impact gameplay, making it crucial to understand which characters stand out or are superior to others, as you’ll likely want to include them in your team as soon as possible.

In this guide, we’ve put together a Tier List to showcase the best characters in the game according to the current meta and general community opinions. Here, you can quickly glance at our tables to get an idea of which characters are worth your time and which are currently considered “inferior.”

Note: This tier list considers the characters and their statistics from their starting point, meaning at level 1.

Tier S+ Characters – The Best

The S+ tier is reserved for only a few characters who reach the highest levels of excellence in Zenless Zone Zero. These are the characters that dominate the current meta. If you have one of these, do not hesitate to include them in your team as they are indispensable.
