Best ZZZ Characters for New Players to Gacha in 2026
New to Zenless Zone Zero? Here are the characters worth knowing before you spend your pulls, plus a few Concon Shop merch picks for your favorites.

Quick Answer
New ZZZ players should pull for characters they actually like first, then think about team roles. In 2026, characters worth knowing include Miyabi, Ellen Joe, Jane Doe, Astra Yao, Evelyn, Zhu Yuan, Burnice, Caesar, Lycaon, and Anby.
This is not a strict tier list. Zenless Zone Zero banners, balance, and team recommendations can change, so always check the current in-game banner before spending Polychrome. Think of this as a beginner-friendly "who should I pay attention to?" guide.
How New Players Should Choose Who to Pull
ZZZ is stylish enough that it is very easy to want every character. That is dangerous for your pulls.
For new players, I would think about three things:
- Do you like the character? You will enjoy the game more if you pull characters you actually want to use.
- What role do they fill? Damage dealers, supports, stun characters, and anomaly characters all help teams in different ways.
- Do they work with your current roster? A great character feels even better when you already have teammates who support them.
ZZZ Characters Worth Knowing in 2026
Miyabi
Miyabi is one of the most recognizable ZZZ characters thanks to her fox-like traits, sword-focused style, and Section 6 presence. If you like calm, elite swordswoman energy, she is one of the first characters to learn about.
Ellen Joe
Ellen is the shark maid and one of the early breakout ZZZ fan favorites. She is memorable, stylish, and easy for new players to recognize because her design is so specific.
Jane Doe
Jane Doe is a great character to know if you like mysterious, cunning designs. Her PubSec connection and rat Thiren-inspired look make her stand out quickly.
Astra Yao
Astra brings music, celebrity, and support energy into ZZZ. She is worth knowing because she feels very different from the more combat-heavy or street-level characters.
Evelyn Chevalier
Evelyn pairs naturally with Astra's story space. Her composed, elegant, protector-like design makes her one of the more visually polished ZZZ characters to watch.
Zhu Yuan, Burnice, Caesar, Lycaon, and Anby
These characters are also worth knowing because they represent different parts of ZZZ's cast: PubSec, Sons of Calydon, Victoria Housekeeping, and the Cunning Hares. Even if you do not pull them immediately, learning the major factions makes the game easier to follow.
Favorites vs Meta
For most players, favorite characters should matter a lot.
ZZZ is a character-driven game. If you love Ellen's shark maid design, Astra's singer theme, Jane's mystery, or Miyabi's sword style, that matters. You will spend more time with characters you enjoy.
If you care about harder content, then look at team roles before pulling. A balanced account usually wants strong damage options, support characters, stun tools, and flexible teammates. But even then, a character you enjoy using is usually more satisfying than a character you pulled only because someone told you to.
