Best Agents for Hollow Zero in Zenless Zone Zero

Clearing Hollow Zero can be a rather difficult challenge if you're not approaching it ideally. The Agents you use matter in this mode, so rather than banging your head against a wall, here's a list of the best Agents for Hollow Zero.

Best Characters for Hollow Zero in Zenless Zone Zero

Hollow Zero in Zenless Zone Zero is an incredibly challenging mode, with Ether 12 being its most difficult, buffed version. This guide focuses on the best Agents for tackling Hollow Zero on the toughest difficulty, ensuring you have the survivability, damage, and utility needed to clear encounters efficiently.

Caeser

Caeser is best picked as the ultimate team player. She's a walking fortress with a knack for keeping everyone alive. Her shielding abilities are invaluable in Hollow Zero, where even the smallest mistake can mean instant defeat, especially against Elites. What truly sets her apart from the rest is her on-demand parry: no need to worry about Energy levels for it, though it is easier to land if Energy is used.

The cherry on top of all this versatility is her 1000 ATK buff for the active character. It only requires her shield to be active to earn, meaning it is a very low-maintenance buff you'll have most of the time, assuming you can keep the shield up and going. That extra firepower is exactly what you need to cut through the absurdly tanky enemies lurking in Ether 12.

Astra

Astra is the definition of a high-risk, high-reward powerhouse, except she turns the risk part way down. With insane CRIT DMG and ATK buffs activated through her Quick Assist buff, she transforms your entire team into a wrecking crew. But her value doesn't stop at just offense.

Her Ultimate ability provides healing, the only source of character healing in the game, making her practically integral to facing the hardest content. Combine that with her lightning-fast movement, courtesy of her EX and Dodge abilities, and you have a character who can dance circles around enemies while dishing ridiculous amounts of buffs and healing.

Miyabi

Miyabi is a katana-wielding storm of destruction, and Hollow Zero only amplifies her carnage. With her last two Basic Attacks offering built-in iframes and a parry, she’s virtually untouchable when played correctly.

Her insane movement speed makes her one of the safest picks for navigating the chaotic battlefield of Ether 12. Enemies barely have time to react before Miyabi slices through them, making her a perfect blend of speed, safety, and raw unadulterated damage.

Evelyn

If Miyabi is a storm, then Evelyn is an elegant yet deadly executioner. Her damage scales to absurd levels in Hollow Zero, thanks to her high multipliers, but what makes her truly terrifying is her near-infinite dodging ability. By skillfully chaining her EX Dodge and normal Dodge, Evelyn can stay invulnerable while laying down destruction.

She pairs exceptionally well with Astra, as her combat flow naturally triggers Chain Attacks. If you love an agile, relentless playstyle, Evelyn will not disappoint.

Burnice

Burnice brings the heat... literally. With some of the most on-demand iframes in the entire game, she’s as slippery as she is deadly. Whether you play her as a sustained DPS or a Disorder support DPS, her versatility ensures she never feels out of place.

Her ranged attacks allow her to stay safely away from danger while dishing out her highest-damage abilities, and her flamethrower’s Fire DoT (Disorder) turns enemies into walking torches. If you enjoy melting foes from a distance while laughing at their futile attempts to hit you, Burnice is the right choice for you.

Soldier 0 Anby

Fast, furious, and always at 100%, Soldier 0 Anby, also known as Silver Soldier Anby, is a relentless force of nature. Thanks to her Azure Flash and Star Mark mechanics, she has nearly on-demand iframes, allowing her to weave in and out of combat without missing a beat. Unlike other characters who require careful resource management, Anby operates at full power at all times, meaning her damage output is consistently top-tier. Her speed makes her perfect for chasing down elusive enemies in Hollow Zero, ensuring that nothing escapes her onslaught.

Ben

Ben is the underdog turned powerhouse in Hollow Zero, proving that defense can be just as deadly as offense. His parries, when properly built, hit like a truck, and with the Hollow Zero buffs, they become downright ridiculous.

Topping that off, he’s one of the only characters who can take full advantage of the many shield buffs in Hollow Zero without relying on an external shielding source. His parries are also forgiving, making him one of the safest characters to play while still delivering devastating counterattacks. If you like tanking hits, laughing, and then hitting back twice as hard, Ben is your bear.

Jane

Jane thrives in Hollow Zero thanks to the powerful buffs to Anomaly Proficiency found in this mode. As an Agent, she is the most evasive character in Zenless Zone Zero, boasting three dodges by default and gaining a fourth through a buff in Hollow Zero. Her damage is primarily concentrated in her Assault Disorder, making her an exceptional choice for teams built around maximizing this ability. With the right setup, Jane can exploit Hollow Zero’s mechanics to deal devastating damage while remaining nearly untouchable.

By utilizing these Agents, players can maximize their success in Hollow Zero Ether 12, ensuring they have the tools needed to overcome its extreme difficulty and emerge victorious.
