Summary
Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.2 brings new characters and another round of meta changes, making it a good time to review which DPS and support agents currently have the most value.
This ZZZ 3.2 tier list covers both DPS and support characters, with the rankings based on current gameplay performance, team compatibility, investment requirements, and the upcoming patch environment. Because character balance can change quickly in Zenless Zone Zero, these placements should be viewed as a snapshot of the current meta rather than permanent rankings. If you're aiming to pull or build around the top-tier characters, buy Zenless Zone Zero Top Up to secure the resources you need.
ZZZ 3.2 DPS Tier List
The DPS list includes Attack, Anomaly, Rupture, and the new Armor class. The current environment favors several Anomaly teams, while upcoming characters could shift the balance further.
Eon Tier
Phoenix currently stands at the top of the DPS evaluation. Her expected performance with Remiel and Valina places her ahead of the existing Anomaly options in current testing.
Searian is also positioned highly, although her exact place depends on the upcoming patch environment.
Emanator Tier
Several strong DPS characters remain competitive in this tier.
Arya is currently one of the strongest partners for Remiel at M0, but Phoenix's upcoming release creates a significant challenge for her position.
Sigret remains a consistently strong and well-balanced DPS. She does not necessarily dominate every team, but she continues to perform reliably without requiring extreme investment.
Burnice remains a powerful Anomaly option, particularly for players who already invested in her. However, her dependence on specific team setups and the arrival of newer characters reduces her overall value for new players.
Jane is another unusual case. Her M2 provides a major improvement, and players who obtained her through previous free distribution may already have additional Mindscapes. At M0, however, her position is considerably less impressive.
Luofu General Tier
This tier contains several capable DPS characters that can still clear current content but are less dominant than the newest options.
Grace remains an underrated Electric DPS, especially when paired with Rina and other Electric-focused teams. Her Mindscapes can also improve her performance significantly.
Miyabi remains usable but requires specific teammates to reach her potential. Her performance is strongly affected by the current availability of the right support characters.
Claret, the new Armor character in Version 3.2, currently falls around this tier in the discussed evaluation. Her Armor mechanics, Gash, Maim, and over-100% Crit Rate interactions give her a unique playstyle, but her current performance does not place her among the highest-ranked DPS options.
Claret could rise later as the Armor roster expands and more suitable teammates become available.
Evelyn, Alice, Romea, and Hugo also remain usable options depending on investment and team composition.
Path Strider Tier
Characters in this tier can still perform effectively but generally have stronger alternatives available.
Piper remains an excellent A-Rank DPS and is particularly valuable for newer players who do not want to invest heavily in another limited character.
Nekomata received buffs and remains competitive, especially with higher Mindscapes and Engine investment.
Yanagi, Harumasa, Cecilia, Pyrois, and several other older DPS characters can still clear content, but their current teams generally struggle to match the strongest modern compositions.
Pyrois is particularly noteworthy because he is available for free, making him an accessible option for players who need another DPS.
ZZZ 3.2 Support Tier List
The support meta has changed considerably. Several older supports have fallen behind as newer characters provide stronger buffs, better utility, or more flexible team options.
Emanator Tier
Valina currently stands out as one of the most valuable characters overall. Her upcoming rerun also makes her particularly relevant for players who missed her original release.
She remains extremely strong for Anomaly teams and works especially well with the current Remiel-centered meta.
Rina remains a strong option, although her position has fallen slightly compared with previous evaluations. Her buffs are useful, but her Evasive Assist and relatively low Daze can make her less consistent than newer alternatives.
Dialyn remains valuable because of her additional Ultimate mechanic and continued utility across several teams. Her future value will depend heavily on how the overall power level of DPS characters develops.
Luofu General Tier
Norma remains one of the most widely useful Stun characters. She works particularly well with Claret, Sigret, and several other modern DPS teams.
However, she faces more competition than before. Newer Stun options can fill similar roles, meaning her value comes more from flexibility and consistency than from completely dominating the role.
Roxy functions as a Wind alternative to Norma. She can perform well, but her relatively low Daze output can make her less consistent during difficult Deadly Assault runs.
Astra remains a highly capable universal support. Although newer characters are beginning to catch up with her, she remains useful and is not yet obsolete.
Lucia is especially important for Rupture teams. She was also available as a free anniversary option, making her an accessible addition for players building this archetype.
Path Strider and Lower Tiers
Yuzua remains powerful in the right Anomaly setup, but the current meta heavily favors Remiel and Valina. Her future value could increase if Disorder teams return to prominence.
Nong Gong has excellent Anomaly stats and high Daze, making her a strong character on paper. However, her current archetype is not favored by the meta, limiting how often players can take advantage of her strengths.
Other supports such as Lighter, Caesar, Pulcra, Vivian, Seed, Trigger, and Soukaku have more limited applications in the current environment.
This does not necessarily mean these characters cannot clear content. Rather, they face stronger competition from newer or more flexible supports.
What Is Changing in Version 3.2?
The biggest change is the continued rise of specialized team archetypes.
Anomaly teams currently have an advantage over many traditional Crit teams, particularly when built around the strongest current combinations. Phoenix is expected to push that gap further when she becomes available.
At the same time, the introduction of the Armor class could eventually create another major shift. Claret's mechanics encourage specialized Armor teammates, meaning future Armor agents may increase her value considerably.
The support roster is a different story. Many older supports are becoming increasingly difficult to justify as newer characters offer stronger or more flexible buffs. Characters such as Astra, Yuzua, Seed, and Lighter still have useful applications, but their long-term value depends heavily on future balance changes.
Final Thoughts
The ZZZ 3.2 meta is moving quickly. Anomaly teams remain highly competitive, while newer characters such as Phoenix and Claret could reshape team building over the coming patches.
For DPS, the strongest current options are concentrated around the latest Anomaly and specialized compositions. For supports, Valina, Norma, Rina, Astra, and other high-utility characters continue to have important roles, although the gap between newer and older supports is becoming increasingly noticeable.
These rankings reflect the current evaluation and testing environment rather than an official HoYoverse tier list. Future buffs, reruns, new teammates, and content-specific bonuses can all change the relative value of individual agents. To stay flexible as the meta shifts, Zenless Zone Zero Top Up can help you secure the resources needed to pull and build whichever agents rise to the top.
