Zenless Zone Zero 2.0 Free Agent and W-Engine Guide

Free S-Rank Agent Choices

You get to pick one S-Rank Agent from the standard pool, which includes these six:

• Lycaon (Ice, Stun, Victoria Housekeeping)
• Rina (Electric, Support, Victoria Housekeeping)
• Grace (Electric, Anomaly, Belobog Heavy Industries)
• Soldier 11 (Fire, Attack, Obol Squad)
• Nekomata (Physical, Attack, Cunning Hares)
• Koleda (Fire, Stun, Belobog Heavy Industries)

Best Agent Recommendations

Your pick depends on what you’ve got, how you play, and what your team needs. Here’s the breakdown:

Lycaon (Ice, Stun) - Top Choice for Most

Why Pick Him?

• Lycaon’s a solid Stun Agent who stops enemies cold and sets up your damage dealers. His Ice element works great with Ice DPS like Ellen Joe or Hugo for strong team combos.
• He’s easy to use even with basic gear, so he’s great for new players and doesn’t need tons of resources.
• Lycaon holds up well over time and fits nicely with Victoria Housekeeping teammates like Rina or Ellen.

Best for: Anyone needing a Stun Agent, Ice team fans, or players wanting a reliable crowd-control unit.

Team Fit: Works well with Ellen Joe (Ice, Attack), Soukaku (Ice, Support), or Hugo (Ice, Attack) for a full Ice squad.

Rina (Electric, Support)

Why Pick Her?

• Rina’s a top Support Agent who boosts the whole team with Electric damage and penetration buffs, making her perfect for Electric-focused squads.
• She pairs great with Grace for Disorder teams (stacking different status effects) and supports Electric DPS like Yixuan or limited-banner characters.
• She’s flexible enough to slot into various teams, even outside her Victoria Housekeeping group.

Best for: Players building Electric teams or needing a Support to pump up team damage.

Team Fit: Matches well with Grace (Electric, Anomaly) or Yixuan (Electric, Attack) for Electric or Disorder setups.

Grace (Electric, Anomaly)

Why Pick Her?

• Grace is an Anomaly Agent who’s awesome at piling on Electric status effects, ideal for Disorder teams that rack up damage with multiple status triggers.
• Her ranged style (nail gun and grenades) is fun and keeps the pressure on with steady Anomaly buildup.
• She’s a good choice if you’ve got Rina or other Electric characters to lean into Disorder.

Best for: Players who like Anomaly playstyles or want to focus on Electric Disorder teams.

Team Fit: Works with Rina (Electric, Support) or Anby (Electric, Stun) for Electric Disorder squads.

Soldier 11 (Fire, Attack)

Why Pick Her?

• Soldier 11 is a straight-up damage dealer, great as a main DPS for Fire teams. Her simple playstyle is all about dishing out Fire damage.
• She’s the only Obol Squad member for now, but future teammates could make her even better.
• Pick her if you want a DPS and don’t have a strong Fire attacker.

Best for: Players needing a Fire DPS or those who like aggressive, damage-heavy play.

Team Fit: Pairs with Koleda (Fire, Stun) or Lucy (Fire, Support) for Fire team synergy.

Nekomata (Physical, Attack)

Why Pick Her?

• Nekomata’s a quick, nimble Attack Agent who deals solid Physical damage and works well with free A-Rank Cunning Hares like Nicole or Billy.
• She’s decent for free-to-play players but might get overshadowed by limited-banner DPS down the line.

Best for: Free-to-play folks or those building Physical teams with Cunning Hares.

Team Fit: Synergizes with Nicole (Ether, Support) and Billy (Physical, Attack) for Cunning Hares teams.

Koleda (Fire, Stun)

Why Pick Her?

• Koleda’s a Fire Stun Agent who works well with Soldier 11 for Fire team setups. Her stuns are handy, but she’s not as flexible as Lycaon.
• She’s a bit niche unless you’re all-in on Fire or Belobog Heavy Industries.

Best for: Players with Fire DPS like Soldier 11 or those building Belobog Heavy Industries teams.

Team Fit: Matches with Soldier 11 (Fire, Attack) and Ben (Fire, Defense) for Fire or Belobog squads.

Agent Selection Tips

• Utility Beats DPS: Lycaon or Rina are usually better than pure DPS like Soldier 11 or Nekomata since Stun and Support roles are more versatile and harder to replace. Limited-banner DPS often outshine standard ones.
• Check Your Team: Look at your current Agents and their roles. Got Ellen Joe (Ice, Attack)? Grab Lycaon for synergy. Got Electric characters like Yixuan? Rina or Grace is your move.
• Test First: Try the Demo feature in the Stable Gacha to play each Agent and find one that feels right.
• Think Long-Term: Lycaon and Rina stay useful longer due to their flexibility, while DPS like Nekomata might lose steam as new limited characters drop.

Recommended Order: Lycaon > Rina > Grace > Soldier 11 > Nekomata > Koleda
