Agents in Zenless Zone Zero are paramount in helping you clear quests on the map and enrich your gameplay experience by giving you access to diverse attack, stun, and support characters.
You can obtain these agents in Zenless Zone Zero by completing the story quests and using the pulls to get the limited banner agents. Choosing the ideal team composition becomes critical as the game’s meta is still getting established, with players mainly focusing on Elements or Faction-based agents.
Here is our Zenless Zone Zero agents tier list, which includes all 16 characters available on the game’s release for everyone.
