Best Agents for the Battle Tower in Zenless Zone Zero

The Battle Tower in Zenless Zone Zero demands survivability and high damage to push through its toughest fights. The right Agents can make all the difference, offering shields, healing, evasion, and sheer firepower. Here are the best Agents to dominate the Battle Tower and why they shine.

Best Characters for the Battle Tower in Zenless Zone Zero

The following characters are among your best choices for scaling the Battle Tower in Zenless Zone Zero. For clarity and visibility, this list assumes you're interested in reaching the highest floors of the tower (Floor 100+), so keep that in mind as you go through each character.

Caeser

Caeser is the epitome of durability and raw power in battle. With her nearly indestructible team shield, she offers the best survivability option in the game, ensuring your team stays strong no matter how tough the odds get. On top of that, her shield grants a hefty damage boost, making her not just a tank but a powerhouse in disguise.

Her on-demand parry is a lifesaver, especially when you're feeling the heat in high-pressure situations. Versatile and reliable, Caesar is perfect for just about any team composition, making her an essential pick for the Battle Tower.

Astra Yao

If there’s one thing Astra Yao brings, it’s utility in spades. With top-tier damage buffs and the game’s only healing ultimate, she’s the ultimate team support. Her buffs to Quick Assist reduce the after-swap hurtbox, which means quicker and safer swaps for your team: no more getting caught mid-transition (very annoying). But Astra doesn’t just heal; she keeps your team in the fight longer, ensuring you never run out of steam when things get heated.

She’s a healer and damage booster all wrapped into one. Perfect for those prolonged, drawn-out battles where staying alive is one half of the fight, and dishing out damage is the other.

Burnice

Burnice is a damage dealer with a flair for staying alive. She’s got some of the best iframes (invulnerability frames) in the game, making her a natural at dodging enemy attacks. Plus, her flamethrower attacks are a mix of destruction and defense, with iframes either at the start or end to keep her safe while she burns through enemies. Being a ranged character also gives her that extra edge.

She can react and strike from a distance without taking too much heat herself. Whether she's in an Anomaly support role or just dealing solid, consistent damage, Burnice keeps things scorching hot, and her ability to survive through it all makes her a tough contender for the Battle Tower.

Miyabi

When it comes to raw damage output, Miyabi is currently the best in class, and that's not likely to change anytime soon. She’s got an aggressive, in-your-face style with auto-parries and multiple iframes but right into the most basic aspects of her kit, so even when you're under fire, you can keep swinging with confidence.

Her blade mechanic is an offensive juggernaut, delivering significant damage and a high-level interrupt that cancels enemy attacks. Her interrupt even affects bosses which is very strong in the Battle Tower. Her ability to turn the tide of battle with offense is unparalleled, and with a bit of timing, Miyabi becomes an unstoppable force of damage. She is the storm that is approaching.

Yanagi

Yanagi is the ultimate counterplay DPS. With her nimble moveset and skill-based parry mechanic tied to her stance swap, she excels in evasion and striking back after the fact. If you’re good at landing those parries, Yanagi can keep a constant barrage of pressure on your enemies while keeping herself safe at the same time.

She’s got multiple iframes that ensure her survival, but it’s her ability to chain those parries and evasions into offense that makes her a real threat. If you’re looking for a high-skill, high-reward character who can keep the heat on your enemies, Yanagi is your go-to.

Evelyn

When it comes to dodging attacks and dealing out massive burst damage, Evelyn is the undisputed ace. With her infinite dodge mechanic making her one of the most slippery characters in the game, she can evade attack chains that other characters might struggle to do so. By chaining normal dodges and Special dodges together, she can avoid almost anything thrown her way.

She requires a bit of finesse to truly master, but once you get the hang of it, Evelyn becomes an elusive force that’s hard to catch. Pair her with Astra Yao, her best teammate, and you've got an almost unkillable duo, provided you've got the mechanical skill to make it so. Between her dodges and high damage, she's perfect for those who like to dance around the battlefield, delivering potent blows in between close calls.

Nicole

Nicole is all about shredding defense and letting your team go to town. With the strongest defense shred in Zenless Zone Zero, she’s invaluable when dealing with Battle Tower’s tanky, high-defense enemies.

Sure, keeping up her debuff might take some skill, but when you do, she opens the floodgates for your team to unleash major damage. And just to add some fun to her kit, her suction effect is perfect for crowd control, though it works best against weaker enemies. With Nicole on your team, you can slice through the toughest foes like butter, if you can manage her relatively short debuff durations.

Rina

Rina is the perfect support for PEN-focused teams, adding a much-needed PEN boost to her allies. Her ability to transfer her own PEN stat to her team, allowing them to bypass enemy defenses is vital for bringing down high-defense foes in the Battle Tower. At M1, Rina really shines, especially when paired with Agents like Yanagi, as they become a deadly combo that tears through defenses like a hot knife through butter. If you're all about breaking through defenses, Rina’s your secret weapon. Just make sure you have her and her teammates built with the PEN stat in mind.

With these Agents, you’re primed to conquer the Battle Tower with everything you need to succeed. Whether you’re looking for survivability, damage, or utility, there’s an Agent here who’s perfect for every situation. The further you climb, the more difficult the Battle Tower gets, so make sure you're prepared before you get climbing.
