ZZZ Tier List (3.3): Top Agents and Which Are Limited
Fact-checked before publishing
As of 29 October 2026 (version 3.3), all three tier lists we read in full put the same 13 Agents in their top tier. They are Remielle, Ye Shunguang, Yixuan, Miyabi, Phoenix, Yuzuha, Sunna, Astra Yao, Dialyn, Norma, Nangong Yu, Velina and Claret. Two of those reads are independent, since GenshinBuilds mirrors Game8.
Phoenix debuted in 3.3 and is already top tier on all three. All of these Agents debuted on limited banners, and none of the permanent six is in this tier.
This post is a dated, versioned top-tier consensus plus Game8’s ranking of the permanent six.
Key takeaways
- Thirteen Agents are top tier on all three lists we read in full, including Phoenix, new in 3.3. Lucia and Trigger are top tier on Game8 and GenshinBuilds, with Pocket Tactics a step lower.
- Every top-tier Agent on the lists is limited. The six permanent Agents (Grace, Koleda, Lycaon, Nekomata, Rina, Soldier 11) are not in any top tier we read.
- A fresh account’s first S-Rank comes from the non-limited Stable Channel. It is guaranteed to be an Agent within the first 50 searches, and it can’t be a top-tier Agent.
- In 90 days of our own ZZZ character-account sales, Lighter, Velina and Remielle were the most bought. The sample is small, and sales aren’t a strength ranking.
- Checked 2026-10-29 on version 3.3. We refresh this post at each patch.

What is the ZZZ tier list right now?
Thirteen Agents are top tier on all three lists we read in full, including Phoenix, new in 3.3. Lucia and Trigger are top tier on Game8 and GenshinBuilds and one step down on Pocket Tactics. The top tier is called SS, Tier 0 or T0 depending on the site.
| Agents | Placement |
|---|---|
| Remielle, Ye Shunguang, Yixuan, Miyabi, Phoenix, Yuzuha, Sunna, Astra Yao, Dialyn, Norma, Nangong Yu, Velina, Claret | Top tier on all three full reads |
| Lucia, Trigger | Top tier on Game8 and GenshinBuilds; Pocket Tactics has them one step down in S |
How was this ZZZ tier list made?
We compared the published tier lists we read, noted each one’s date and version, and recorded who sits in the top tier. An Agent counts as agreed only if every list we read in full ranks it there.
| List | Date | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Game8 | 2026-10-25 | Version 3.3. Full read |
| GenshinBuilds | Undated | Version 3.3. Full read. Mirrors Game8 |
| Pocket Tactics | 2026-10-22 | Full read |
| Prydwen | Undated | Search snippet. Version unclear |
| Icy Veins | Undated | Search snippet |
Two independent full reads, Game8 and Pocket Tactics, sit behind the 13-name core, plus GenshinBuilds, which mirrors Game8. Treat the core as solid, with one wrinkle: Icy Veins has Miyabi at T1 (search snippet). The edges are softer, and snippet placements are marked.
Where do ZZZ tier lists disagree?
The lists split on Sigrid, Miyabi, Lucia, Trigger and Roxy, mostly at the edge of the top tier.
| Agent | Higher | Lower |
|---|---|---|
| Sigrid | T0: Icy Veins (snippet) | Tier 1+: Game8, GenshinBuilds. S: Pocket Tactics |
| Miyabi | Top on three lists | T1: Icy Veins (snippet) |
| Lucia, Trigger | Top: Game8, GenshinBuilds | S: Pocket Tactics |
| Roxy | T0 Stun: Icy Veins (snippet) | Tier 1+: Game8, GenshinBuilds. S: Pocket Tactics |
Prydwen and Icy Veins also have Claret and Phoenix in Tier 0, from snippets. Since our 3.2 check, GenshinBuilds moved Claret up to Tier 0 and Pocket Tactics moved Norma up to SS, so both are now agreed.
Which top-tier ZZZ Agents are limited and which are standard?
Every top-tier Agent on the lists is limited. The permanent Stable Channel pool is six Agents (Grace, Koleda, Lycaon, Nekomata, Rina, Soldier 11), and none of them is in the top tier. Anything outside those six debuted on a limited banner.
P1 and P2 mean Phase I and Phase II.
| Agent | Status |
|---|---|
| Phoenix (Fire Anomaly) | Limited. Debut 3.3 P1, channel to 2026-11-11 |
| Velina (Wind Anomaly) | Limited. Debut 3.0 P1, first rerun 3.3 P1 |
| Miyabi (Frost Anomaly) | Limited. Debut 1.4, rerun 2.1 P1 |
| Yixuan (Auric Ink Rupture) | Limited. Debut 2.0 P1, rerun 2.6 P1 |
| Ye Shunguang (Physical Attack) | Limited. Debut 2.5, rerun 3.0 P1 |
| Remielle (Lumiflux Anomaly) | Limited. Debut 3.1, no rerun yet |
| Claret (Electric Armorer) | Limited. Debut 3.2 P1 |
| Astra Yao | Limited. Debut 1.5 |
| Yuzuha | Limited. Debut 2.1 |
| Sunna | Limited. Debut 2.6 |
| Dialyn | Limited. Debut 2.4 |
| Nangong Yu | Limited. Debut 2.7, rerun 3.2 P1 (Game8) |
| Lucia | Limited. Debut 2.3 |
| Norma | Limited. Debut 3.0, rerun announced for 3.3 P2 |
| Trigger | Limited. Debut 1.6 |
| Sigrid | Limited. Debut 3.1 |
| Roxy | Limited. Debut 3.2 P2 (Game8) |
| Severian (Wind Attack) | Limited. Debut 3.3 P2, not ranked yet |
Claret’s debut channel ran 2026-09-09 to 2026-09-30 and has ended. For Astra Yao down to Roxy, “limited” follows from the Agent sitting outside the permanent six, and the debut version comes from Game8’s roster list. Rerun data comes from Game8 agent pages dated 2026-07-27, the official 3.1 and 3.2 Phase II posts and the official 3.3 notices.
What is running now
Phase I runs 2026-10-21 to 2026-11-11 (official dates; server hours differ) with two Agent channels. Phoenix debuts on “Into the Flames of Life”, and Velina gets her first rerun on “Graceful Gale”. Game8 (updated 2026-10-25) has both in Tier 0.
Phase II follows Phase I and ends by 2026-12-02, when 3.3 closes. The official pre-launch post names Severian (Wind Attack) debuting on “Answers in the Wind”, plus a Norma rerun. HoYoverse had not posted the Phase II channel notice with exact dates as of 2026-10-29. No list ranks Severian yet.
Which ZZZ Agent is best for a fresh account?
Koleda, Rina, Lycaon or Nekomata. Game8 puts those four in Tier 1 among the permanent Agents, with Soldier 11 and Grace in Tier 2. A fresh account’s guaranteed first S-Rank comes from this pool.
| Permanent Agent | Game8 tier |
|---|---|
| Koleda | Tier 1 |
| Rina | Tier 1 |
| Lycaon | Tier 1 |
| Nekomata | Tier 1 |
| Soldier 11 | Tier 2 |
| Grace | Tier 2 |
The Stable Channel is the non-limited channel, so its guaranteed first S-Rank can’t be a top-tier Agent. HoYoverse’s official text and Game8 agree on how it works. That first S-Rank is an Agent, and it arrives within your first 50 searches. The offer applies once per account. Your first five Ten-Searches cost 8 Master Tapes, not 10. After 300 searches you can pick one Agent from the pool for free.
We found no change to these Stable Channel rules in 3.3, as of 2026-10-29. Exclusive Rescreening, a channel where you pick a limited Agent, ran in 3.1 Phase 2 and is absent from the four official 3.3 Phase I channels. For the loop itself, see our Zenless Zone Zero reroll guide.
Which ZZZ Agents do our buyers choose most?
In the last 90 days of our own ZZZ character-account sales, the most bought Agents were Lighter, Velina and Remielle. All three are limited. That is a small sample from one store, so read it as a signal about what buyers want, not as a strength ranking.
| Agent | Status | On the top-tier lists? |
|---|---|---|
| Lighter | Limited. Debut 1.3 P2, rerun 1.7 P2 | No, Tier 1+ on Game8 and GenshinBuilds |
| Velina | Limited. Debut 3.0 P1, first rerun 3.3 P1 | Yes, all three read |
| Remielle | Limited. Debut 3.1, no rerun yet | Yes, all three read |
Stock affects what sells, so a popular Agent may only be one we had on the shelf. Our rerun data for Lighter stops at 1.7. Velina’s first rerun is live until 2026-11-11.
Should you reroll or buy an account for a top-tier Agent?
Limited banners rarely land a specific unit, and the Stable Channel only gives the permanent six. Buying an account that already holds the Agent is the other route, and it puts that Agent on your roster from day one. Our post on reroll odds by game covers the odds.
What we handle. Our team checks every account by hand against its listing before it goes on sale. Delivery is usually within minutes of payment (up to 24 hours in rare cases). If delivery passes 24 hours, you may ask to cancel the order before it is delivered, for a refund. Every order comes with our warranty, which you can extend up to 60 days at checkout. It covers an account that doesn’t match its description or loss of access caused by the original source. All sales are final because the products are digital. Full terms are on the refund policy page.
Your account comes with its original email, so it’s fully yours to secure: change that inbox’s password and turn on 2FA. For the smoothest start, play for a few days before you change the account’s email or password.
Browse the Zenless Zone Zero starter accounts and the listing for the Agent you want. Our guide on what a reroll account is compares both routes.

FAQ
Who is the best Agent in ZZZ right now?
No single Agent tops every list. Thirteen share the top tier on all three lists we read in full, including Phoenix, new in 3.3. Pick by the role your team needs.
Are the top-tier ZZZ Agents limited?
Yes. Every top-tier Agent on the lists is limited. The six permanent Agents are Grace, Koleda, Lycaon, Nekomata, Rina and Soldier 11, and none of them is in a top tier we read. Anything outside those six debuted on a limited banner.
Can you reroll for a top-tier ZZZ Agent?
Not from the Stable Channel. Its guaranteed first S-Rank comes from the six permanent Agents. Limited banners rarely land a specific unit, so the other route is an account that already holds the Agent.
How often does this ZZZ tier list change?
At every patch. This version was checked on 2026-10-29 on version 3.3, and we refresh it when a new version starts. Individual lists can also change between patches. Pocket Tactics added Phoenix to SS in its 2026-10-22 update.
Is Velina rerunning in ZZZ 3.3?
Yes. Velina’s first rerun, “Graceful Gale”, runs in 3.3 Phase I until 2026-11-11. She is limited and top tier on all three lists we read in full.
