Zenless Zone Zero characters: Full list and how to unlock them

As this is a live service game, expect the list of Agents to grow as we move forward. New characters are bound to be added in upcoming limited-time character banners.

Each different character has something new to add to the game and comes with its own rarity rank. This does mean some will be more difficult to unlock than others using the game’s gacha mechanic.

Luckily, there are a few characters you will unlock for free, simply by playing ZZZ.

Read on for the full list of Zenless Zone Zero characters and how to unlock them.

How many characters are in Zenless Zone Zero?

As of writing, there are 20 characters in Zenless Zone Zero, but not all of them are playable and not all of them are available in-game.

There are 20 confirmed playable Agents in ZZZ but, in reality, only 19 are actually playable. This is because you are asked to choose between Belle or Wise at the start of the game. If you choose Belle, Wise is not playable and is instead your assistant. Choose Wise? Belle is not playable and is your assistant.

As time passes, more new characters are sure to be added. 20 is the number at the game’s launch. We’ll update this page when new characters are confirmed.

How to unlock Zenless Zone Zero characters

To unlock most characters in Zenless Zone Zero, you need to pull them from the game’s gacha features – AKA: Signal Search.

Certain characters will be temporarily boosted during banners in the Signal Search Exclusive Channel. You’ll need to spend Encrypted Master Tapes to pull on temporary character banners. On the Stable Channel, meanwhile, you use Master Tapes.

Keep an eye out for ZZZ codes to earn more items needed to purchase Master Tapes and Encrypted Master Tapes.

Some characters, though, you’ll receive for free as you play through the game.

When you start the game, you’ll be asked to pick from one of Belle or Wise to be your main protagonist – the other you don’t choose will be your assistant.

During the tutorial, you’ll unlock Anby, Nicole, and Billy. As you progress further through the game, you’ll unlock Ben Bigger the bear (complete Chapter 2 Story 1) and Soukaku (complete Shinyu Defence 3-4, must be Inter-Knot level 30 and complete Chapter 2).

You should unlock Corin via your in-game mailbox – she was a pre-registration reward.
