Pridewin’s Tier List Update Guide – Zenless Zone Zero

Pridewin’s Tier List Update

With the release of Lucy and Monata, Pridewin has updated his tier list, bringing significant changes to character rankings and positioning.

• This update reflects the current meta state and how new characters fit into the existing roster;
• The changes particularly impact support roles and overall character effectiveness in team compositions.

Lucy and Monata Placements

Lucy was predictably placed in the highest tier of supports, confirming her exceptional utility and effectiveness in support compositions.

• Her placement reflects her strong performance and value in team setups;
• She stands as the top-tier support character in the current meta.

Monata, however, received a more moderate placement, positioned at the same level as Elin, Juyuan, Vlad, Rat, and Piper.

• This placement is notably higher than Harumas by one tier;
• She sits even two tiers above Soldier 11, indicating a solid but not top-tier position in the current meta.

Other Character Changes

Several other characters received tier adjustments in this update.

• Zhuifufu was upgraded due to the growing popularity of meta destruction strategies and the release of Lucy, which synergizes well with destruction-focused compositions;
• Soldier NBI received improvements to her skillset, resulting in a tier increase.

These changes reflect the evolving meta and how character balance updates impact their competitive viability.

Observation Markers

The observation marker has been added to numerous characters in this update.

• This marker typically indicates that characters may be re-evaluated in the future;
• Characters with this marker could either be lowered or raised in tier based on future meta changes.

Characters Under Review

Several characters now carry the observation marker, suggesting potential future tier adjustments.

• These include Elin, Juyuan, Lighter, and even Miyabi;
• The presence of this marker indicates that their current placement is being closely monitored;
• Their tier position may change based on upcoming meta shifts or balance updates.

Miyabi and Anomaly Meta

Miyabi received special attention in the changelog, with a dedicated paragraph discussing her current tier placement.

• The explanation notes that the current tier list is primarily built around Dangerous Assault content;
• The current bosses and buffs in this mode are designed around the destruction meta;
• This makes them particularly unfavorable for Miyabi and anomaly characters in general.

This raises an important question about the future direction of the meta.

• Anomaly-focused characters like Miyabi might see tier adjustments if the game content shifts away from destruction-focused encounters;
• The current meta heavily favors destruction strategies, which limits the effectiveness of anomaly-based characters;
• The observation marker on Miyabi suggests that her placement is being carefully considered;
• Future updates to game content could significantly impact her tier position.
