Best S-rank Zenless Zone Zero characters for beginners

Lycaon

Lycaon is an Ice Attribute character in Zenless Zone Zero and has the Stun fighting style. He is currently one of the strongest Stun characters in the game since he provides a ridiculous amount of Daze and damage boosts to other Ice units, such as Ellen.

Lycaon is very simple to use. The only remotely hard part about his kit is his charged attacks, which can go wrong if you don't time them properly. However, a few hours of playing him can render this problem void.

Lycaon is one of the top characters in the RPG and should definitely be a priority in the Channel Stable banner selector.

She has a very straighforward playstyle that requires a minimal amount of mastery. The only thing you need to learn about her kit at the start is her basic attacks.

Soldier 11 is one of the best Main DPS choices in Zenless Zone Zero for those who want a simple playstyle without worrying too much about the downsides of misplaying a character.

Anby is one of the many characters you can get for free when you start Zenless Zone Zero. She is an Electric Attribute Agent with a Stun fighting style.

Anby has a very simple kit that shouldn't be hard for anyone to get the hang of. She deals a respectable amount of Electric DMG and can easily Daze opponents with a flurry of attacks. Her well-timed Defensive Assist, which isn't hard to do, makes her a great character to constantly Daze opponents.

Nicole

Nicole is another character you receive for free early in the game. She is an Ether Attribute character with a Support fighting style.

Nicole has an assortment of crowd-control abilities that pull enemies and group them together in a location. This allows her Main DPS teammates to perform devastating Chain Attacks on the enemies.

Nicole is a solid character for beginners to main, and she can easily help you get past the initial stages of the game. While she doesn't have the best synergy with anyone other than Cunning Hares characters, the arrival of Zhu Yuan should elevate her status in the meta.

Billy

Billy is one of the initial Main DPS characters you can get for free. He is a Physical Attribute character with the Attack fighting style.

When it comes to Billy's playstyle, it is as cookie-cutter as it gets. He doesn't have any complex combos to master and is a consistent damage dealer. Ensure that you can get maximum leverage out of his Chain Attacks and EX Special Attack to get his full damage potential.

Billy is one of the safest A-rank Main DPS options available in the game right now.
