Caesar’s pull value in Zenless Zone Zero 1.2

Caesar’s abilities

Understanding how Caesar’s kit works in Zenless Zone Zero is crucial to drawing conclusions regarding her pull value. The v1.2 livestream showcased her gameplay, so most players have some insight into her abilities and their interactions during combat.

Needless to say, Caesar will be a tanky S-rank agent from the Defense specialization. Here are her notable skill sets:

• For starters, Caesar can parry opponents with her Special Skill. This is triggered when she is hit by an enemy right after activating her skill.
• A successful parry negates the damage she receives and instantly activates her Roaring Thrust Special Attack.
• If Caesar fails to trigger a parry, she enters a guard stance, which reduces the incoming damage. She gets knocked back slightly upon taking a hit.
• Pressing the Special Attack a second time triggers Retaliation, activating Roaring Thrust or Overpowered Shield Bash.
• When Retaliation is triggered she will be invulnerable while using skills.
• Caesar gains additional Impact from Perfect Block, Retaliation, or Defensive Assist.

Caesar’s Ultimate deals massive Physical DMG as she tosses her shield forward and unleashes a powerful spinning attack on the enemies. She then ends this skill with a downstrike. Additionally, Caesar deals increased Daze when she hits a shielded target.

Here is Ceasar's Core Passive and Additional Ability in Zenless Zone Zero:

• Core Passive: When Caesar activates EX Special Attack, Chain Attack, Ultimate, or triggers EX Special Attack via Retaliation, she generates a shield for the entire squad. Shielded characters will receive an anti-interruption and bonus Attack stat.
• Additional Ability: Caesar can access the additional ability when paired with a character who can activate Defensive Assist or belongs to the same faction. This skill allows her to increase the damage received by opponents upon tagging them with Perfect Block, Retaliation, Defensive Assist, or Basic Attack.

While Caesar doesn't necessarily qualify for any role, she is comfortable and dedicated to whichever position you assign her during combat. Ideally, she will replace Stun agents in squads with the ability to deal powerful Daze while increasing her Impact stat. While she is expected to deal significant damage on her own, she could be paired with other DPS to dominate the enemies in the arena.

Besides, Caesar has a straightforward kit, so most players should be able to use her effectively in the battle as long as they learn her parry mechanic. She outputs a lot of AoE Physical damage, which is useful against multiple enemies.
