ZZZ Bangboo tier list

Here’s our tier list ranking every available bangboo in the game. The ranks are determined using the performance and skill of each bangboo, as well as how easy it is to use – that is to say whether it requires particularly specific agents in a team.

How do I get more bangboos?

All bangboos come from the bangboo banner. As you make your way through the game, you unlock different banners – one of these is specifically for bangboos where they’re displayed in cute little packages. You can spend ‘boopons’ to roll for them. Like the character banners, you’re guaranteed an A-rank bangboo every ten pulls, and an S-rank every 90.

The good news is that you can choose which S-rank you want, and there’s no lost 50/50s here. New S-rank bangboos all get added to the pool, so you can get them anytime instead of worrying about getting them during the limited banner.

Upcoming bangboos

We’re likely to get new bangboos entering the available pool with each update – first, we had Officer Cui, and next up is Red Moccus, a physical-type S-Rank bangboo.

There you have it, a complete guide to Zenless Zone Zero bangboos. We suggest using the right attribute of bangboo alongside key characters like Zenless Zone Zero’s Lycaon, Zenless Zone Zero’s Koleda, Zenless Zone Zero’s Anby, and Zenless Zone Zero’s Nicole.
