Zenless Zone Zero: Which S-Rank standard character to pick in version 2.0?

Proxies can pick one from multiple S-Rank standard agents via the Zenless Zone Zero anniversary reward. They can also claim a free W-Engine and wishes in Season 2. Coming to the characters, here is the standard roster:

• Grace (Electric, Anomaly fighting style)
• Rina (Electric, Support fighting style)
• Koleda (Fire, Stun fighting style)
• Nekomata (Physical, Attack fighting style)
• Soldier 11 (Fire, Attack fighting style)
• Lycaon (Ice, Stun fighting style)

Here are the agents that are worth getting in ZZZ 2.0:

1) Lycaon

Lycaon is certainly the best option to get from the Zenless Zone Zero 2.0 update, since many DPS agents rely on a Stun specialist to reach their peak potential. He can also decrease the Ice RES of enemies, which makes him a staple companion for mono-Ice teams. In fact, powerful units like Hugo and Miyabi benefit from having Lycaon on the team.

Not to forget, he is extremely efficient at staggering enemies and bosses, allowing front runners to deal damage without any interruption.

2) Rina

Support agents are the backbone of most team compositions, and Rina is no exception. She is dedicated to the Electric element, being able to increase the elemental damage output. Rina uses her puppets to further boost the PEN ratio of the entire team, allowing them to ignore a portion of the target’s defense.

She can assist teammates while dodging most of the enemy attacks, thanks to her swift movement.

3) Koleda

Like Lycaon, Zenless Zone Zero’s Koleda is a Stun agent, which makes her an important candidate for most teams. However, her gameplay can be sloppy unless you pair her with Ben. She also boasts a hybrid playstyle, being able to unleash powerful attacks while staggering targets.

Although there are replacements for Koleda, she is still worth picking from the Standard banner due to her fun playstyle and unique interactions with Ben.
