Zenless Zone Zero character list

There are plenty of intriguing Zenless Zone Zero characters to meet in Hoyoverse's exciting ARPG, with more popping up all the time. So, to keep you up to date as you prepare to dive into this urban fantasy's latest update, we've gathered all the intel on every ZZZ character.

We'll update this guide whenever we meet a new character, so be sure to keep checking back in the lead-up to the Zenless Zone Zero banner changes every few weeks.

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. 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 the 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.

The 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 Demara

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 number of bears they have employed at the construction site, and the fact that 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.

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 it's iffy whether she's 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 defense 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.

Jane Doe

ZZZ's Jane Doe is the best DPS we have, dishing out seriously impressive numbers just with a kick of her boots. She's mysterious - whose side is she really on? She works with PubSec during the story, but seems to have a lot more going on than we know about.

Sons of Calydon

The Sons of Calydon is a biker gang clad in black leather, spikes, and red accents. They didn't feature in any of the betas, but they made a smash as we met them in the story. Led by Caesar King, the group helps keep order and transports goods through the Outer Ring.

Luciana de Montefio

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…

Burnice White

Zenless Zone Zero's Burnice brandishes dual flamethrowers, and is a bartender - what could go wrong? Burnice is an S-rank character who deals plenty of fire damage. Proxies meet her in the Outer Ring along with the rest of the Sons. Burnice will offer you a Nitro Fuel drink which is sure to wake you up a little.

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.

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.

Pulchra

So, turns out that ZZZ Pulchra joins the Sons of Calydon. She got her drip marketing, which lists her faction as the Sons, despite being an enemy in the story… at least at first. She's a physical stunner and an A-rank character.

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.

Asaba Harumasa

Working alongside Yanagi is ZZZ's Harumasa. You can find him hanging around the Scott Outpost, and he briefly joins you in combat when fighting Nineveh in the Withering Garden. He appears to use a bow that splits into two weapons, dealing electric damage.

New Eridu Defense Force Obsidian Division

The New Eridu Defense Force Obsidian Division has a few parts to it - the mysterious OBOL Squad that Soldier 11 and Trigger belong to, along with Soldier 0 - Anby in the Silver Squad.

Soldier 11

This mysterious white-haired girl belongs to the 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.

Trigger

Finally, Soldier 11 gets a teammate. Trigger's drip marketing confirmed her as a member of the OBOL Squad, and her outfit very much fits the theme that Soldier 11 started. She's an electric stun unit and releases as an S-rank.

Seed

Seed is a sort of two-in-one situation. Unfortunately, it's not the giant mech we'd hoped for, but is actually a small girl who rides a hover-scooter, and sometimes hops on the back of 'Seed Sr', the big robot. Seed is an electric attack S-rank.

Orphie and Magus

A very interesting member of the OBOL Squad is Orphie - and her mechanical tail, Magus. She's a fire attack character and an S-rank rarity. She has horns, red hair, and an interesting backstory.

Soldier 0 - Silver Anby

Uh, yes, there's another Anby, and yes, there's another white-haired girl in a defense squad. She's an electric user, like her A-rank counterpart, but is an S-rank attack agent. She still loves burgers, even if she's had a bit of a makeover. She's in the Defense Force's Silver Squad, so not quite the same as the OBOLs.

Stars of Lyra

The Stars of Lyra are a big deal in New Eridu. Anyone who keeps up with music knows who they are, and knows the glamorous Astra - and her manager, Evelyn.

Astra Yao

Welcome to the stage, Astra Yao! One of New Eridu's famous singers, she has an excellent voice. She's a support agent who uses the ether element, which is interesting given that her squadmate Evelyn is quite the opposite.

Evelyn Chevalier

What is a superstar without a manager by her side? That's what Evelyn is - she works closely with Astra Yao and keeps her safe. Her past is a mystery for now, but we suspect there's something going on there to make her into a good fighter. She's a fire attack agent and is an S-rank rarity.

Mockingbird

Mockingbird is a phantom thief operation, led by Hugo Vlad, that works out of New Eridu. Von Lycaon used to be a member, but has since parted ways.

Vivian

Vivian Banshee, known for her excellence at making tools and her obsession with Phaethon, is a bit of a workaholic. In-game, she's a five-star ether-using anomaly character who uses her giant parasol during combat.

Hugo Vlad

Hugo is a five-star character who uses the ice element with an attack role, and attacks using his briefcase. Proxies meet him as he enters the video store in the game, and then start working together to help secure certain items.

Yunkui Summit

This faction plays a big part in ZZZ's 2.0 update and beyond - the story introduces us to the martial arts group and its members, and the Suiban Temple where they reside.

Yixuan

Yixuan is a very interesting character - she's the first five-star we get in version 2.0, and uses an offshoot of ether damage called auric ink. She's a wayseeker as part of the Summit, and goes by 'Shifu' most of the time. She also has a bird that follows her, which she can fly with during combat.

Pan Yinhu

We finally have another bear! Similar to Ben, Pan Yinhu is also a defense character, though he uses physical attacks. He's a cook and stores food under his hat for a snack on the go. He compliments his fellow Summit members in teams.

Ju Fufu

A teeny tiger thiren, Ju Fufu hates being called a cat. She's a senior member of Yunkui, and in combat, she deploys her huge popcorn maker, which stays on the field and spews explosives at enemies.

Ye Shunguang

Shunguang is not to be overlooked - she's the current owner of the Qingming Sword, giving her the title of Void Hunter and associated power. While we can stroll through New Eridu on days out with her as Wise and Belle, there's a lot more to her than meets the eye.

Spook Shack

The Spook Shack is a faction new to Waifei Peninsula, with three confirmed members so far.

Alice Thymefield

Alice is a member of the noble Thymefield family and is a physical anomaly agent. She'll be coming to the banner soon, along with her debut in-game as a member of the mysterious group.

Ukinami Yuzuha

Yuzuha has a tanuki on her back. That's pretty cool, right? She's a physical support agent that can buff your best agents in combat, and will likely work incredibly well with Alice.

Komano Manato

A member of the Shack that proxies already met in the 2.0 update is Komano Manato. He's a big, wolfy guy hanging around in Feilume Heights, whom you speak with as part of the main quest. He resembles Shadow the Hedgehog a bit with his black and red hair, now that we think about it.

Lucia

Lucia reminds us a bit of Genshin Impact's Ganyu with her horns, light blue hair, and ethereal look. She has a staff and a book with her at all times, and seems to be some form of magical maiden. She uses the ether element and is a support character.

 Yidhari

Another never-before-seen member of the Spook Shack is Yidhari. She's an octopus thiren with big purple tentacles, who weilds a hefty hammer. She uses the ice element and rupture attacks as she spins around her weapon's handle.

Krampus Compliance Authority

Krampus is an arm of TOPS that's involved with the round table. We're yet to meet them in the story, but here's who we know of so far:

Banyue

Banyue is an Intelligent Construct, similar to Billy and Qingyi. He's a robotic, vaguely lion-shaped, tall male who uses fire and the rupture specialty.

Dialyn

Dialyn's aesthetic is all about phones. Vintage, plastic phones - hence the name sounding like 'dial in'. She's a stun agent who uses the physical element, but appears to handle Krampus's customer service side of business.

Zhao

Cute Zhao is a small girl who's a rabbit thiren with heavy animalistic features, similar to Lycaon. We know she uses the ice attribute and the defense specialty.

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.
