A new game from the creators of Genshin Impact and Honkai is coming out on July 4: Star Rail, an adventure slasher. Ground Zero Without ZenIt will be available for PC, PS5, iOS and Android.
HoYoverse studio experiments with genres and gameplay, but not with the model of its games. ZZZ will be another gacha where you will have to collect characters and form teams with them. The monetization and upgrade system is based on the uniqueness of the playable heroes.

Everything you need to know about Zenless Ground Zero
Each of them has a specialty (role), rarity (top S or base A), elemental attribute (each with its own properties), and also belongs to a faction – if you use teammates together, unique combos open up, such as Kolyada and Ben. There should be a total of three heroes in your team.
At launch, Version 1.0 will have 15 different characters available, many of which will be free to obtain. We’ll briefly talk about each one so you can start choosing your favorites for your combat squad.
Enbi
Rarity: rank A Attribute: electroSpecialty: intimidationFraction: “Sneaky Bunnies”
The first playable character, given for free at the beginning of the passage. He features fairly simple gameplay, which at first is good for immersing yourself in the game, but then Enby is increasingly inferior to other heroes in terms of characteristics and general usefulness for the team.

Club
Rarity: rank AAttribute: physicalSpecialty: attacks Fraction: “Sneaky Bunnies”
The second of the three free starter heroes is also easy to play and good at first. Fighting with a gun helps you keep your distance and at first Billy is ready to become your main damage dealer until you find someone better.

Nicole
Rarity: rank AAttribute: etherSpecialty: supportFraction: “Sneaky Bunnies”
The gang leader stands out slightly – this free support can be relevant even in the late stage of the game thanks to a good connection with Zhu Yuan. Nicole allows you to control enemies, luring them into the center, while at the same time you can reduce their defense and increase ether damage – an excellent set for a support hero.

Anton
Rarity: rank AAttribute: electroSpecialty: strokeFraction: Plant “Belobog”
Anton Ivanov is a good damage dealer, suitable for different game situations. The only problem is that he is obviously inferior in strength to S-rank heroes, so most players will quickly replace him with someone else.

ben
Rarity: rank AAttribute: fireSpecialty: defendingFraction: Plant “Belobog”
A powerful bear, who with all his appearance proves that he is a good tank. That’s right: although Ben will hardly add any damage to the team, he will be able to protect weak damage dealers like Billy. But the bear reveals itself best in a factional connection with Kolyada.

corinne
Rarity: rank AAttribute: physicalSpecialty: strokeFraction: Domestic staff agency “Victoria”
A very weak and niche damage dealer, who before release occupied the lowest positions in all tier lists. However, this does not mean that you cannot complete the game as Korin and close the modes – it will simply be a bit more difficult than with S-heroes. For waifu players, this will definitely not be a hindrance, so if you like Corin, you can get used to her characteristics.

Sokaku
Rarity: rank AAttribute: iceSpecialty: supportFraction: Section 6
Support, which in the right hands will be very strong – to reveal the hero to the maximum, you will have to get used to combinations and details. The hero has low speed and low defense indicators, although if you learn to competently act for Sokaku on the battlefield, the resources spent will be worth it.

Lucy
Rarity: rank AAttribute: fireSpecialty: supportFraction: Sons of Calydon
A new hero who was not present in the ZZZ beta test and was announced a few days ago; the girl will probably not appear at launch, but in the 1.1 update in August. So far, all that is known is that Lucy improves the attack of allies and deals damage with the help of summoned units – a group of little piglets.

Flutist
Rarity: rank AAttribute: physicalSpecialty: anomalyFraction: Sons of Calydon
Another “four-star” hero from the new faction: Piper and Lucy would probably work well together as a team. In battle, she can stack an anomaly, thus increasing damage to opponents.

Soldier 11
Rarity: S rank (standard)Attribute: fireSpecialty: strokeFraction: Obol team
High damage is the main advantage of the character, but using the character’s full potential is not that easy. Playing as a soldier requires some skill, as many things are time-bound and can be too difficult for beginners.

Funny
Rarity: S rank (standard)Attribute: electroSpecialty: anomalyFraction: Plant “Belobog”
The accumulation of an anomaly that weakens enemies makes Grace one of the most useful characters in Zenless Zone Zero. The girl herself deals damage and increases the potential of the main damage dealer, without requiring too much time or special conditions on the battlefield, which is very valuable for such a character.

Kolyada
Rarity: S rank (standard)Attribute: fireSpecialty: intimidationFraction: Plant “Belobog”
A good secondary damage dealer who can stun enemies and deal decent damage. However, Kolyada can become a real highlight in a team with Ben – their combination opens up additional buffs, strengthening the entire team.

Nekomata
Rarity: S rank (standard)Attribute: physicalSpecialty: strokeFraction: “Sneaky Bunnies”
The catgirl, one of the most powerful characters in terms of damage, attacks quickly and, thanks to the built-in dash and various upgrades, can cope with any difficulty in the game. She very quickly deals huge damage to the enemy, allowing you to free up time on the field for other characters.

Lycaon
Rarity: S rank (standard)Attribute: iceSpecialty: intimidationFraction: Domestic staff agency “Victoria”
The Wolf stands out for its powerful mechanic of stacked stuns: this allows you to practically stop all enemies on the field, while the main damage dealer can freely deal damage to them. Lycaon is best combined with other ice heroes and representatives of his faction, where he becomes almost the first sub-dead in the game.

fight
Rarity: S rank (standard)Attribute: electroSpecialty: supportFraction: Domestic staff agency “Victoria”
A very strong support that increases the damage of allies; at the same time, the girl hits enemies well, especially with her ultimate ability. Another advantage will be help when choosing a position: Alexandrina pushes enemies back, freeing up space for teammates to act.

Elena
Rarity: S rank (event)Attribute: iceSpecialty: strokeFraction: Domestic staff agency “Victoria”
Unlike other S characters, event heroes can only be obtained through a temporary banner – for example, Ellen will appear in the first three weeks of the game, and then you’ll have to wait several months for her to return. In addition, these characters are usually stronger than standard “legendaries”.
It is no surprise that Ellen is the strongest and most developed character in Zenless Zone Zero at the time of release. She knows how to dodge enemy attacks, deals massive damage and is very suitable for beginners. Now the girl is considered the best damage dealer in the game.

Zhu Yuan
Rarity: S rank (event)Attribute: etherSpecialty: strokeFraction: Special group of the criminal investigation department.
The second character of the event, who will be available on a temporary banner from July 25 to August 14, until the release of patch 1.1. He also deals a lot of damage, but there is one drawback: he has no faction partners and choosing good supports is still not that easy. This should change in the next patches, but then there will be no chance to knock Zhu out anymore.

Miyabi
Rarity: a strangerAttribute: iceSpecialty: a strangerFraction: Section 6
The last of the officially introduced characters has a difficult fate: she had to be removed from the beta test because she was too popular and prevented the developers from receiving information about other heroes. Something similar happened with Ayaka in Genshin Impact, who was finally released just a year after the game’s launch, so Miyabi may stick around for a long time.
It’s hard to even guess when Miyabi will be released on ZZZ

We hope you’ve managed to pick up some interesting characters – now all that’s left is to get them from the in-game gacha. However, given the developers’ generosity with the release of Zenless Zone Zero, this shouldn’t be too difficult.
