Zenless Zone Zero's Ellen Joe is an S-rank agent and a member of Victoria Housekeeping Co. This adorable maid may look sweet, but she's a powerful ice character with a huge shark tail and a comically oversized pair of scissors that aren't quite so comical if you end up on her bad side. So let's take a look at the best Ellen build, including her skill priority, best drive discs, and W-Engines.
If you're curious how the snappy shark girl sizes up against other agents in her faction, be sure to check out our Zenless Zone Zero tier list - it might just help you decide whether you want to pull for her on her next Zenless Zone Zero banner.
