Zenless Zone Zero: Best Support Characters
2026.02.27 15:16
As was previously mentioned, characters in ZZZ are mostly obtained through a gacha system, and each of them is unique. Each character, known as an Agent, has a ranking, an element (called Attribute), a damage type (called Fighting Style), and an affiliation to an in-game faction. Factions do not affect whether or not players can pair up characters in their team comps but mostly represent to which group that Agent belongs in the story. The idea is to mix up characters of different Attributes and Fighting Styles to take advantage of certain enemies’ weaknes
Not far behind Lycaon, Rina stands out as a versatile Electric support unit. Her universal buffs, including a RES PEN Ratio buff, significantly boost the team's damage output. While she excels in teams with other Electric characters due to her ability to enhance Shock application and duration, her versatility allows her to f it well in various team compositions . Rina's kit is straightforward and easy to grasp, making her accessible for players of all skill levels. Additionally, her excellent mobility on the field, with long-range dashes, adds a degree of crowd control to her utility, making her a valuable asset in any t
Similar to Lycaon, Soukaku excels in mono-Ice teams with her Ice DMG buffs and impressive anomaly build-up for Freeze and Shatter effects, enhancing overall team synergy. Even in non-Ice-oriented teams, Soukaku shines by providing a massive ATK buff, a standout feature given that she is a freely available 4-star character. However, she does fall slightly behind other support units like Rina due to her lower versatility. Soukaku requires more extensive building and has a more complex rotation to manage, relying heavily on maintaining full vortex stacks to maximize her buffs. Despite these challenges, she remains a powerful support character with the potential to significantly boost team performa
Koleda and Ben have excellent synergy thanks to their shared faction and Fire element, with Ben also being able to buff Koleda effectively. For a DPS option, players can opt for Corin as their completely F2P choice. However, if they have been fortunate, Piper is an even better DPS choice. If players have both Piper and Lucy, they can replace Ben with Lucy, forming a team of Koleda, Lucy, and Piper. This setup offers enhanced synergy since each character can activate faction and element buffs, creating a well-rounded team composition of DPS, Stun, and Support, rather than relying on a defense character like
I also think there's plenty of room for futher customization in HDD, and Zenless Zone Zero's roguelite mode has a lot of potential moving forward. Much in the same way as Honkai: Star Rail 's Simulated Universe has been modified and reworked and re-released in different variations, HDD feels like a smart launch implementation with flexibility in its future, addressing what players want out of future content without needing to overhaul an entire system or create something entirely
Zenless Zone Zero Mobile Zone Zero ** feels like it occupies two opposite spaces - at times, it feels like HoYoverse's most ambitious effort yet** . It's a savvy blend of some of the mechanics that have made Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail popular, added to a foundation of innovation and style, creating something that's unique to the developer's offerings thus far. At other times, it feels explicitly designed to be accessible and relaxed, with just as much emphasis placed on creating a café setting people might actually want to spend time in as the enemies our heroes will fight throughout ZZZ 's st
Each support character in Zenless Zone Zero offers unique strengths and utilities, contributing significantly to team dynamics. However, some characters bring additional synergy with the rest of the characters in the roster, and also go beyond their singular role to bring added benefits to the team composition. While the best support characters are subject to change with newer characters being added, here's how all characters fare in launch version of Zenless Zone Ze
While players are given a wider range of free characters, due to the synergy between these characters with all being Cunning Hare members, the first 3 freely given characters, namely Billy, Anby and Nicole can work out quite well, while filling the spots with a DPS, Stunner and Support role. However, due to the limitation of available elemental synergies ( especially with Nicole being only Ether, and Billy not having access to a Physical Stunner for example) players may notice performance to be quite fluctuating. Overall however, especially to learn the game's combat mechanics, as well as to tackle each content with an entirely F2P team, players can rely on these charact
It's no secret that Zenless Zone Zero 's approach to combat is a divisive one - producer Zhenyu Li has commented multiple times on wanting the game to be accessible even to people who aren't necessarily good at the genre, and with that comes the usual hesitancy from veterans to admit that simplified battling can still be fun. It definitely can, though, and was, throughout the ZZZ preview event. I spent most of my time just finding new ways to battle enemies rather than dive too far into the game's story, and that's because combat was so rewarding and fun. Our build had many characters available, but the ones I tried and enjoyed the most are predictably the 5-stars with the most interesting desi
