There are plenty of intriguing Zenless Zone Zero characters to meet in Hoyoverse’s exciting, upcoming game, with more popping up all the time. So, to keep you up to date as you prepare to dive into this urban fantasy ARPG, we’ve gathered all the intel on every ZZZ character we’ve met so far.
We’ll update this guide whenever we find out more, so be sure to keep checking back in the lead-up to the Zenless Zone Zero release date. We also have plenty of content covering Hoyoverse’s other existing titles, including our Honkai Star Rail tier list and Genshin Impact tier list.
Here are all of the Zenless Zone Zero characters we’ve seen so far:
ZZZ Proxies
A group called The Proxies plays an extremely important role in New Eridu. And, as Hoyoverse invites you to ‘live dual identities, two opposing personas’, you, the player, take the role of a proxy in this exciting new world.
Firstly, what does proxy mean? Well, outside of ZZZ, a proxy is an individual with the authority to represent someone else and is usually a term used in voting. As such, proxies are people in the ‘real world’ who control Bangboo in order to help clients navigate the warped reality known as the Hollows.
The young man, Wise, and woman, Belle, are the Zenless Zone Zero Proxies and they’re similar in some way to the Genshin Impact Traveler and Honkai Star Rail Trailblazer. You get to choose either the male or female character to traverse the town with, then take control of the other ZZZ characters from the different factions in the warped reality.
Gentle House aka Cunning Hares
Gentle House, aka Cunning Hares, is the faction that gets the most screen time in promos and trailers and is featured heavily at the start of the game. Described as the Odd-Job Agency, Gentle House’s emblem shows a grinning pink bunny surrounded by stars.
Here’s what we know about the members so far. If you’d like to know more about each of them and see them in action, we’ve linked the full builds (including gameplay showcase videos) below.
Anby Demera
Zenless Zone Zero Anby‘s age and past are a mystery. She was accidentally taken in by Nicole, and ended up joining Gentle House, gradually growing into a strong and trustworthy companion. She’s known for her advanced combat abilities and has a deep love for movies, but is also seen as the codependent ‘baby bird’ of the group.
Nicole Demara
A tall, pink-haired woman with golden eyes and white and black clothing. Zenless Zone Zero’s Nicole is the one who brought Anby under her wing and into the Cunning Hares. She’s seen carrying a briefcase that transforms into a weapon during battle.
Billy Kid
Zenless Zone Zero’s Billy is a mysterious robot in a human disguise. He sports red clothes, a black faceplate with glowing, gold eyes, and spiky white hair. Billy wields dual pistols and has a sharp eye for shooting.
Nekomiya Mana
Nekomiya Mana, better known as Zenless Zone Zero’s Nekomata, wears black and red clothes and has black and white cat ears and a tail. She appears to fill a rogue role, as she moves around at great speeds, attacking her enemies with a flurry of blades.
Belobog Industries
Belobog Industries emblem is a roaring bear wearing a hard hat. This ties in with the amount of bears they have employed at the construction site, and the fact they are a construction company with an arsenal of big tools and machinery at their disposal.
You may recognize the name Belobog from Honkai Star Rail, but in our Zenless Zone Zero interview, the producer tells us this is a coincidence. If you’d like to know more about each of them and see them in action, we’ve linked the full builds below.
Anton Ivanov
Zenless Zone Zero’s Anton is a tall man with cool red and black spiky hair, a caution tape-style headband, and a jacket over his shoulders. He wields an arm-mounted drill.
Koleda Belobog
A short, red-haired woman, described as ‘small but sweet’. This fiery lady wields what appears to be a hammer-drill hybrid. We have a guide with plenty more information on Zenless Zone Zero’s Koleda right here.
Ben Bigger
Zenless Zone Zero’s Ben is a huge, hulking bear with a scar over his eye, a gold chain, and sharp fangs, wielding a large hunk of metal that seems to be a cross between a construction hammer drill and a minigun or rocket launcher.
Grace Howard
A dark-haired girl with a genuinely caring nature who is intelligent, rational, and also very elegant. Zenless Zone Zero’s Grace has some official art that shows her wielding a gun with orange accents on it.
Victoria Housekeeping
Victoria Housekeeping Co. consists of characters dressed in costumes that make them look the part of traditional, Victorian butlers and maids. They offer their housekeeping services for a fee, but they don’t just clean homes – they clean Hollows too. If you’d like to know more about each of them and see them in action, we’ve linked the full builds below.
Corin Wickes
In fitting with the name of the faction Zenless Zone Zero’s Corin fits into, she wears a classic, black and white maid’s dress, accompanied by shackles on her wrists, chains around her waist, and a cute, teddy bear backpack.
Von Lycaon
Zenless Zone Zero’s Lycaon is some kind of animal-human hybrid, with white fur and a butler’s outfit, complete with golden knuckle dusters and a mask.
Alexandrina Sebastiane
Zenless Zone Zero’s Rina appears to be followed by some strange little mechanical ghosts. Other characters note how elegant she is and mention she’s a wonderful cook.
Ellen Joe
A young girl with a sleek shark-like tail and a weapon that looks like a gun. Zenless Zone Zero’s Ellen is a fan of the simple things in life and likes taking a break from work whenever she can.
Section 6
Here’s what we know about the characters Hoyoverse has shown from Section 6. Soukaku appeared in the second closed beta and is now in the game, but Miyabi isn’t available yet despite appearing in the game’s first beta. We got a peek at a lady with long, pink hair and glasses, and a ninja-like man wielding a bow in the pre-launch Zenless Zone Zero livestream, who then quickly appeared early in the ZZZ story. Their names are Zenless Zone Zero Yanagi and Zenless Zone Zero Harumasa respectively.
Soukaku
The first character in this faction is an oni-like character, with blue skin, white hair, horns, and ears. Zenless Zone Zero’s Soukaku wears a mask that reminds us of Genshin Impact’s Xiao and wields what appears to be some kind of shovel, banner, or fan atop a pole.
Hoshimi Miyabi
The other is Zenless Zone Zero’s Miyabi, who appears as a kitsune-girl character, with large, black fox ears. She has glowing, red eyes and wears a dark blue kimono while wielding a huge, glowing katana.
Tsukishiro Yanagi
Yanagi is the Deputy Chief of Section 6, and as a playable character, is an S-rank electro anomaly unit. Her first banner comes in version 1.3, and we’re excited to meet her properly outside of our brief interactions around the Scott Outpost.
OBOL Squad
We don’t know too much about OBOL Squad right now, but we do know that Soldier 11 is a member. If you’d like to know more about the silver-haired soldier and see her in action, we’ve linked the full builds (including gameplay showcase videos) below.
Soldier 11
This mysterious white-haired girl belongs to OBOL Squad, and she follows her orders very loyally. During her story quest, we get the opportunity to fight alongside her and help her out on a mission. Check out our Zenless Zone Zero Soldier 11 guide to find out more about her.
Criminal Investigation Special Response Team
Part of New Eridu Public Security, the Criminal Investigation Special Response Team is a faction facing everyday issues and working toward keeping the citizens around them safe. The uniformed guards we see patrolling Sixth Street are actually members of New Eridu Public Security, too.
In terms of playable members, we see Zhu Yuan, Seth Lowell, and Qingyi in the release teaser trailer, along with Zenless Zone Zero’s Jane Doe tagging along – though she isn’t part of the squad.
Zhu Yuan
Leader of New Eridu Public Security’s Criminal Investigation Special Response Team, Zhu Yuan is a hard worker who takes her job seriously and is always ready to offer a helping hand to New Eridu’s citizens. To find out more about her, check out our Zenless Zone Zero Zhu Yuan guide.
Qingyi
Zenless Zone Zero’s Qingyi works alongside Zhu Yuan, and brandishes nunchaku in combat. Oh, she’s also an android, so if you see her tasting things while on crime scenes, don’t worry about it.
Seth Lowell
Zenless Zone Zero’s Seth is another defensive character, who carries a riot shield and a baton, which can turn into a huge sword to counter enemies. He’s voiced by Genshin Impact Alhaitham‘s actor, Nazeeh Tarsha.
Sons of Calydon
The above screenshot, from the official release trailer, shows five characters that make up the biker gang Sons of Calydon. This faction wasn’t seen in any beta, but we’re enjoying this group. Currently, the far-left light-haired woman and the girl with pigtails in the air are unknown, but will likely come soon. The girl in the helmet is Lucy, and behind her is Piper, then Lighter is the blue-haired man at the bottom right.
Lucy
Zenless Zone Zero’s Lucy joined the playable roster at release, much to the surprise of players, including us. She’s a fire agent who uses a spiked baseball bat to punt pigs across the field at enemies and has some great synergy with fellow Sons member, Piper.
Piper Wheel
Another newcomer at launch is Zenless Zone Zero’s Piper. She uses a giant hammer-shaped tool to spin into enemies and can do some real damage. She appears to be the truck driver of the group, though her personality shows her as quite a sleepy girl…
Lighter
Zenless Zone Zero’s Lighter will join the playable roster in version 1.3 as an S-rank fire stun unit, and you can find him hanging around Sixth Street and Lumina Square every so often. He’s a surly biker dude who stands outside the cinema and gadget shop, wearing suitably biker-y clothing including a leather jacket and shades.
Burnice White
Zenless Zone Zero’s Burnice brandishes dual flamethrowers, and is a bartender – what could go wrong? We’re excited to learn more about her kit and who she is. Burnice is an S-rank character releasing in version 1.2.
Caesar King
The leader of the Sons of Calydon is Zenless Zone Zero’s Caesar King, inheriting the title from her father. She strikes a fearsome silhouette with her sword and shield, and is sure to pack a punch in our teams. Like Burnice, she is an S-rank character debuting in version 1.2 as we head to the Outer Ring.
That’s everything we know about the Zenless Zone Zero characters so far. As mentioned above, we’ll update this guide when Hoyoverse announces any new information, so be sure to bookmark this page and check back for more.
