Hey! So a couple of things to note: 1) Ben or at least Anton - potentially can be a higher tier. 2) As I stated multiple times in the video, take this tier list with a huge grain of salt, nothing is ever final and the idea of this video, first and foremost is to give a basic overview of the character with some background footage so you can get the feel for them. 3) Most important of all - don’t feel pressured to pull for any of the units, tbh I am gonna play Piper/Billy | Corin/Flex team for story and most likely try and clear Shiyu defense with this comp too, because I like the A-rank physical attackers :D

5:06 damn... I feel sorry for that guy, his cheeks split in half probably ☠️⚰️

Can’t wait to see if this version 1.0 tier list ages like Genshin’s list!

I see many people are upset with the game. Yet I do really have fun. Top-notch visuals, insane art and character design, great music, everything is polished and combat is kinda fun with parry and quick swaps. Certainly not for everyone but I'm sure this game is going to have it's audience.

Ngl, this is the first game I ever played on day 1 and so far I'm enjoying it. I'll stay along for the ride for sure.

Hoyo already introduced "team attack" mechanics in Honkai Impact: 1. Rozaliya & Liliya, the twins vodka. 2. Herrscher of Origin, Truth, & Finality, as the premium team.

Benett’s legacy is still evident here!

As Lisa main i feel like getting Rina first 10 pull was a canon event

W video. Helped me understand every character's kit in a nutshell and which characters synergizes with each other.

As a Billy enthusiast I absolutely support your opinion, he does seem weak, but I just CAN NOT skip his energy and overall style Hope he’ll get better in the near future

wait, Ellen has her own unique school outfit outside combat? thats deserve another SS tier

SURELY this one won't age as bad as the Genshin tier list

This was the most helpful video on zzz I've seen yet. Thanks for explaining stuff while also SHOWING it. I neeeed visuals to understand stuff.

The idea of team up attacks is so sick to me i hope we see more, that said being a gacha itll kinda suck cuz then youll always be hunting for those pairs.

I do like how this tierlist was even more a primer for what characters do and what mechanics are available. Learned just as much here as I have in-game so far~

I love Billy, and I will use and build him no matter what haha! Nice vid, thank yaaa!

Yay got Rina! But must say... The style, the music and these are the best character models in a Hoyo game yet in my opinion. Even the NPC are beautiful! lol

Thank you, it's the most informative tier-list for zzz I've seen for now. I haven't got the grasp of how the battle works yet, but you helped a lot with all basics explanations!

I love billy he is the main reason y i ply the game coz billy keeps giving my deadpool vibes

Since Zenless zone zero is now getting released, I'm definitely going to main Von Lycaon

Shark girl has a roaming mode but doesn't go into the ground with a fin out. Hoyo designers gotten real lazy.

Underrated Corin, she feels SO GOOD with lycaon, literally oneshoting every enemy

Lucy, Ellen and Soukaku already are my favorite characters of this game. Cannot wait to get them/try them out.

I just wish they’d let us use the characters as wallpapers as soon as we get them instead of waiting to fulfil some kind of requirement. If I’m wrong and there’s a quick/easy way to get the backgrounds then lemme know please! Like we don’t walk around with them in the overworld for reasons, and I don’t think we can set them as our pfp either?

I've been using Nekomata, Anby and Billy. Definitely not the best team but like you said, it's about who you find the most fun. Might try out Piper again but replacing Billy would suck lol, even if the team would be really solid.

This is slowly becoming my favourite hoyo game already

Corrin in B Tier? Oh boy I can’t wait for especially this one to age like chunky milk; she can melt anything in her path

I really dislike the character designs because no one looks like a 5 star. Damn, look at all the babies that can't stand someone else having a different opinion so they begin imagining that someone said something they didn't. Crazy people and little children at their finest. The internet was a mistake.

ZZZ finally broke the "standard ice character" curse xDD No joke, Ice charcaters in every game are my favorite and it was a alittle sad they treat them worse but since now in ZZZ they are considered atleast meta atm, they wont fall off being worse in the future and im very happy about it! Was so happy to get Lycaon as my first 5star! Hopefully i win on Ellen -w-"

That "Bye" caught me off guard lmao I thought my bestfriend shouted in my ear.

got Rina in the perma banner so happy to hear she's really good

This dude's tier lists never age well especially if it's posted in first week of a game launching 💀

0 hour gang, also cant want wait for the game to be released...2 more hours

Waiting for the tier list to age like milk like bennett 1.0

the saw maid is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo satisfying to play I'm gonna keep using her until I get bored no matter how bad she is

Love Rinas movements and animations

Managed to get Von Lycaon on my first 50 pulls on the standard banner!!

I absolutely love Billy, his playstyle is similar to Kiana's (HI3) and the personality is just fun to watch.

Corin has a playstyle that needs the enemy to be stunned and just hold heavy attack to dish out easy damage

I WILL SAY IT i will scan nekomata's forehead.

Its time for Hoyo to introduce spin to win character!!! Rozalliya who's been there for 6 years.. Sad vodka girl noises

4:01 a smoke alarm went off

I'll be honest. Me personally corrin is absolutely underrated. Her ability to hold her attack button to rapidly do damage actually does decent stun. Pair rina with her and oh my goodness. Rina can do the buff and off field damage while corin just keeps em where they are. Especially since if you can get a true counter , corrin actually has a special move she does if you trigger it where she just absolutely doggy pummles the enemy. The 3rd slot can be any flex really. A support to help break , Somone for crowd control. Sure she has competition but for a free chacacter , and if you can work around her playstyle and time her perfect counter passive she can be oh so destructive 😂 Sure all chacaters have a fua attack when doing perfect parries but corrin has a whole combo move because of her chain passive.

Good tier list, since it indeed helps explain the characters kits and it's good to mention to take these lists, especially this early on, with a grain of salt. I've never played any of the CBTs so like many others I've been a bit clueless about the various combos and attacks characters can make. It is a very stark change from the other gacha games, where you otherwise would simply use a skill and that's that, while here it can be more about timing or doing certain movements and combos to maximize damage and potential.

I love playing Corin. She gives me Hollow Knight nostalgia and PTSD simultaneously.

Imo, Billy is probably an S tier. The main reason I started playing the game was for the huge amount of ads and story in them, and Billy is definitely most contributing to the story, so now that the game is global, and seeing Billy be amazing in combat aswell is a pretty rare sight. For new players controls are quite a challenge to learn, and preforming chain attacks and perfect dodges can be tricky, but whenever swapped to Billy he does the circle attack and goes behind the enemy, giving a bunch of breathing room if an enemy trapped you in a corner. Also, by equipping starlight knight replica (btw I find it funny that he's the only character that has 2 personal w-engines) the further you go the MORE damage you deal, and when the enemy catches up to you just switch to another agent. When fighting bosses, Billy's ex or ultimate may be inferior, but while waiting for them to charge up for other agents it's much better to attack with Billy than others because he dashes to a side corresponding to a move key you're holding at the end of every barrel, granting ANOTHER type of autododge, way better than attacking the boss straight up. Now, he does lack in dps when he's alone, but there's realistically very few times you're playing with less than 3 agents, and if paired up with a good close range damage dealer like Anby or Koleda (since they're most accessible early game) and the tactics I explained earlier, Billy is definitely a gamechanger. Finishing off chapter 2 rn on challenge mode, every mission with the S rating thanks to Billy and Koleda

I'm probably going to test out Piper now thanks to your video, I only just started to learn about Anomalies and I got a 2nd Nekomata which I'll definately have to mess around with. Ben Bigger is actually a very comfertable Swap Character since his attacks take a while to finish, just like Rina's!

Nicole and Lucy are my 11/10 goats for support characters, my team right now is Soldier-11,Lucy and Nicole , honestly 11/10 Team until further characters release imo Lucy is actually very cool considering she basically summons like 3-5 little mini Bangboos that scale off her Crit/Crit damage if she is with 1 other Fire Char (Soldier-011 for instance for the day 1 release chars) and she buffs the teams ATK much like Benny from Genshin, so im hoping if they replace her with a 5 star/S Rank its a proper replacement that does what she does and more! Same with Nichole, she shreds enemy Defense %, as well as sucks them all in like Venti, honestly man i feel those 2 characters will be 11/10 forever until S Ranks replace them completely eventually of course.... Side note, I truly wish we had 4 character slots in this game cause its such a fun playing game, and having only 3 characters , cause I would love to have a Stun Char in my team but Nichole and Lucy feel too good to play with, until maybe a Stun char Def Shreds in the future and im sure there will be. (Bongboo yea but doesnt feel like another char, cant change it at all except copies/levels, No gear or Skills to change/level) But since they didnt design the game for 4 characters, guess that dream is sailed :C

Just starting I appreciate that no character is bad, overall I’m very impressed with what is a free game.

fyi. Nicole’s blackholes shreds DEF, not just enhanced attacks. Easiest to combo with to get that sweet DEF reduction is the chain attack.

been playing for two hours and I'm seriously enjoying the game so much!! aaaa really excited to see what's in store for zzz down the line!!

note, you can use zhu yuan as a trial around lvl 26 or 28 i don't remember is due to her quest.

This game is Hoyoverse's love letter to old skul post 90 combat games! The retro vibes are real.

I literally started watching your vid, opened the game to check my characters, saw that I have 4 pulls left, pulled Ellen

13:15 they did it with Kiana HoFi, and that made her one of the most expensive unit

Nahhh- now it might just be because I'm not taking on particularly hard content, but Corin feels like she can do HUGE damage with follow up attacks, probably because her multi-hit nature stacks so well with high crit rates. I've just been using an all physical team and she SHREDS enemies for me

As a Ben Main, I feel like he is very strong just based on how his playstyle kind of trivializes a lot of content as long as you're using him properly, but I guess that can be said for any character that gains a lot from defensive tools like dodging or blocking. I just feel like he does a lot - big AoE, high stun buildup, burn status effect on top of the tank & spank playstyle being very strong. I didn't use Corin much, but her identity seems to be Assault buildup. Pretty sure she builds Assault faster than most of the other physical attackers. Not sure about Nekomata. If you pair her up with other physical attackers, you'll be proccing Assault constantly. Piper is probably better at this though, but if you wanted to do an Anomaly party you could very easily combine them (Piper/Corin/Neko or Neko/Billy/Corin if you want a Cunning hares bonus)

Corin and lycoan together in a team is my beloved

Stand proud, Corin, you were strong

why this game feels so retro to me..

Billy literally has a W-engine that boosts his physical damage if he hits and enemy from at least 6 meters away.. so I don't know how the heck he's supposed to be played.. but I'll keep on spin-shooting around the map..

As a Grace player I would say you move her up to S tier cuz of the fact that she has some serious use against enemies who like to invade your privacy, such as stun types, and her dodge attack is the best I've seen in the game cuz of the fact that it does significant Penetration and Defense shredding if you are using Grace's W-Engine

Gacha gamer strike again, thank you for the video I really enjoy ZZZ so far. I like their combat, aesthetic, and characters but idk if I want to put as much effort and time into it as other game I play. Right now I main Wuwa with PGR and GI on the side but I'm not so sure now

8:36 not sure if this has been said but this isn't fixed Anton can maintain burst if he whiffs his first two hits and attacks with his drill - not holding Having you have 100% drill time and generating decibels faster

I unlocked Lycaon yesterday and 2 Corin monday , together with a deal I made with myself about playing top Billy from the first trailer... I got a really great stun/anomaly, single target team! (Billy tends to finish the job with his spins after dishing 4 sequential stuns to an enemy) They might not be min/max characters, but damn they are fun

Lets goooooo, Fellow Billy Kid main!

As an avid Anton user, he is easily A tier. He can keep up with soldier 11's damage and even out pace it with his ultimate and guard break attacks. And yes it gets so much better with his skill on. But i guess its still subjective probably different for everyone. I just switch him and soldier back and forth depending who i want to run with kaledo and ben

I was so excited to play because of Lycaon and then I got Grace and now I don't feel like playing anymore lmao

no way bro dissed corin like that, She carried me through the whole story and i was literally only using her. Justice for corin 🤞

I don't care about the tier list, i want that bear guy

Billy is S tier because the Japanese VA for him is the same dude who voices Ino in JJK and im pretty sure the same Japanese VA is doing the English VA for him as well

Corin with nicole combo is goat👑

help, is anyone also experiencing this, i downloaded zzz but when i am about to enter the game it pops the " version correction.." and ends up in an error sign. My device meets the recommended requirements though and still have enough storage, tried re-installing but keeps happening ,idk if its a bug or what 😢

i understand you didnt want to call your boy billy "C tier" but i do think it wouldve made more sense to make your "A+" tier characters just "A" tier and shift everyone else down one (i also think corin has a lot of potential)

the only B is ben tbh (B for Bear) he's clunky but if used right he dishes out a lot of dmg, but yeah only with Koleda or in counter attack when he has enough energy to use skill twice, really need to make sure you don't leave him on field

Nekomata's final skating hits in her regular attack string are also delay-based it seems. But it seems finnicky. I can get 3 in a row consistently, but I'm pretty sure I've done 5 a few times. Can't mash attack, just like Anby's thunder strike.

i play koleda/corin/lucy and i clear relatively quick. i especially love playing corin & she's definitely on of my favs for now

great video!

I am playing billy too I got dupes of him and he is just so fun

Idk, i just downloaded the game trying to get the Wolf Butler and the Tanky Bear 🤣.

Corin is so fun, I love her :D

After that, "you see," now i know you're from chicago

See you on future tier list

It feels strange to me that they have range units that want to not be range in order to do the most damage.

saw your harsh truth video 7 mos ago just earlier, whats the verdict now? did they improve?

I mean I’m making that Zhu anby Nicole team my second time will involve rina and whoever since she is my only 5 star and my third team is defo using Lucy since I think three teams will cover all resistances and weakness since I believe you need a ether / ice team, fire / physical team and a electric team to pretty much cover everything in S defence

CBT or CPT? I kept hearing it during this video. What does that mean?

that i didn't get Von Lycaon on the 50th wish is sending me through all stages of grief

the enemies are so easy even in challenge mode, idk if I'm pretty early in the story that's why or they are just straight up damage checkers. Loving the game but each enemy I faced so far gets stucked in a corner by my hits and just die there

I just pulled Lycaon too. In fact, I pulled Grace Howard and Lycaon back to back

R34 of Nicole will keep this game alive

I got Rina in my 30pulls. Hoping to get Ellen Joe. So I will have team Maid. 😂 With Corin .

is anyone having the same problem of stuck at verifying file integrity? I tried absolutely everything to fix it

Corin the the heart of my team she really works with my play style.

Hey can you make a billy build video ? I mained billy since the start but i dont know which unit i must pick and the equipment.

🎉🎉🎉🎉This is not reliable information because I, as a representative of the name Anton, want you to make a separate type for Anton or a ban🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I would move Soukaku up and Rina and Lucy down. Move Corin and Billy to C (not saying dont use them but compare to other attackers they aren't good). I would move Nicole down for now but when Zhu Yuan comes out she will have alot more value.

I was so lucky to get Lycaon on my first pull

Ben is S-tier because he big

I need to ask cuz whether I play or not depends on it: how easy is it to get facts currency for free? Can you pull reasonably often without spending money? And is there daily missions or something to get facts currency?
