The best Zenless Zone Zero agents right now, as of version 3.2, are still led by Remielle and Miyabi on the damage side and Astra Yao on support, but 3.2 shakes things up with two new S-Ranks: Claret Flint, the game’s first Armorer, and Roxy Ifrita Pryce, its first Wind-element Stunner. Here is where every relevant agent actually lands.
Current as of patch 3.2, live since September 9, 2026.
What’s New in 3.2
Claret Flint, an Electric S-Rank, launched with 3.2 on September 9, 2026 as the game’s first Armorer specialist, a role that scales her damage off DEF instead of ATK. She runs Flint Workshop and is live on the “Bloodmoon Rising” banner through September 30. The patch’s second new S-Rank, Roxy Ifrita Pryce, is a Wind-element Stunner, only the second Wind agent in the game after Velina, and arrives on the “Cindernight Respite” banner running September 30 through roughly October 18, per Dot Esports‘s banner breakdown. Sigrid de L’Azur, an Ice Attack DPS who actually launched back in patch 3.1, is still strong enough to hold a top-tier slot here, so don’t sleep on her if you already pulled.
| Tier | Agent | Role | Element |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Remielle | Attack (attribute-swap) | Multi |
| S | Ye Shunguang | Attack (high Crit) | Physical |
| S | Yixuan | Attack (Rupture, DEF-ignore) | Physical |
| S | Miyabi | Anomaly (Frostburn) | Ice |
| S | Astra Yao | Support (ATK buffs) | Ether |
| S | Yuzuha | Support (Anomaly) | Fire |
| S | Dialyn | Stun (Rupture-boost) | Physical |
| S | Trigger | Stun / off-field support | Electric |
| S | Claret Flint | Armorer (DEF-scaling damage) | Electric |
| A/S | Roxy Ifrita Pryce | Stun | Wind |
| A | Sigrid de L’Azur | Attack | Ice |
| B | Ellen Joe | Attack | Ice |
| B | Zhu Yuan | Attack | Ether |
| B | Jane Doe | Attack | Physical |
Why Ellen Joe and Zhu Yuan Fell Off
None of the game’s original launch-era stars, Ellen Joe, Zhu Yuan and Jane Doe, are bad. They’re still fully playable Attack DPS agents. What changed is enemy HP scaling: newer content asks for more burst than their kits were built to deliver, so newer, better-scaled units like Yixuan and Remielle have simply out-paced them. Pan Yinhu is the one exception worth flagging separately, since she’s genuinely strong but only when paired specifically with Yixuan’s kit, not as a general-purpose pick.
That kind of shake-up matters more than usual for HoYoverse right now: PocketGamer.biz reports ZZZ’s mobile revenue fell 51% year-over-year heading into 2026, from $442.1 million in its first year to $198.9 million in its second, exactly the kind of dip that pushes a live-service game to keep its meta moving.
Shiyu Defense vs. Deadly Assault: One List Doesn’t Fit Both
Tier lists that show a single flat ranking are hiding something: Shiyu Defense is a multi-wave mode that rewards AoE and grouping, which is where support-heavy picks like Astra Yao and crowd-control agents like Dialyn earn their S-tier spots. Deadly Assault is a single-target burst check against one boss, which is where raw single-target DPS like Ye Shunguang and Yixuan matter more. If you’re building around one specific mode, weight the table above accordingly rather than pulling for whoever sits highest overall.
Should You Pull for Claret Flint or Roxy Ifrita Pryce?
Claret Flint is the safer pull if your account is still light on Electric-element support, since an Armorer that scales off DEF fills a role nothing else in your roster probably covers yet. Roxy Ifrita Pryce is the better pick if you specifically need Wind-element Stun, since Velina has been your only option in that lane until now. Neither is a must-pull over Miyabi or Astra Yao if you’re still missing either of those.
Frequently Asked Questions

Remielle and Miyabi remain the top damage picks, with Astra Yao as the top support. Claret Flint, new in 3.2, is the strongest pick specifically if you need an Electric-element Armorer.
Is Claret Flint good in Zenless Zone Zero?
Yes. She’s the game’s first Armorer specialist, scaling her damage off DEF instead of ATK, and she’s rated S-tier by Game8’s September 2026 tier list.
When does Roxy Ifrita Pryce release in Zenless Zone Zero?
She arrives on the Cindernight Respite banner running from September 30 through roughly October 18, 2026, in the second half of version 3.2.
Is Sigrid de L’Azur still good after Zenless Zone Zero 3.2?
Yes. Sigrid launched in patch 3.1 as an Ice Attack DPS and still holds a competitive tier placement heading into 3.2, even though she isn’t one of the patch’s new agents.
Do Zenless Zone Zero tier lists differ by game mode?
Yes. Shiyu Defense favors AoE and support agents because it’s a multi-wave mode, while Deadly Assault favors single-target burst DPS because it’s a one-boss check. A flat overall tier list can undersell an agent that’s excellent in one mode specifically.
