Knowing which skill to prioritize is essential to optimizing your Agents in Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ). See which skills you should prioritize first for each Agent here!
List of Contents
You can select an Agent icon from the list generated, or simply type in the name of the Agent in the search bar. Each Agent has been evaluated on which skills you should prioritize when you upgrade.
A simple way to grasp the concept is that Attack Characters will likely prioritize their Basic Attack over Assist, while a Support Character would prioritize Assist or Core Skill over Basic Attack.

Collecting materials necessary to upgrade Characters is quite difficulty, and will most likely take hours of grinding. In the earlier parts of the game, it is recommended that you focus on 3 characters that will satisfy the basic composition of a balanced team.
You can refer to our Tier List to determine which characters would be most suitable based on our ratings.
In Shiyu Defensewhere you defeat enemies in waves within a time limit, you will be able to compose a second team from Level 7 onwards. Focus on leveling up the characters on the second team only when you reach Level 7.

As your main Attack unit, it is recommended to enhance their Basic Attack, Special, and Core Skills. These characters will be the agents you will use as your DPS units, so maximizing their damage output is essential.
Sample Support Agents | ||

Support Agents are there to provide support for your team, their Basic Attack need not be upgraded because their role is not to deal damage, but instead invest on their Special and Core Skills to maximize their effects.

Stun Agents, often regarded as Sub-Attackers or Secondary Attackers, will have a mix of priority. Depending on the agent, you may be inclined to upgrade their Core Skill over their Special or Basic Attack. Compare their priorities using the guide table above.
Core Skills are skills that are automatically activated during combat, so you'll want to enhance their effects for the benefit of the team. You only get a limited number of materials from the weekly boss, so you'll want to prioritize which characters should have their Core Skills upgraded first.
Main Attacker > Support > Secondary Attacker |
Of course you would want to enhance your skills to the max level cap, but as the materials needed to enhance skills are only dropped from weekly bosses, it is better focus on increasing the max level cap by raising your Proxy Rank first.
You should prioritize reaching the level caps in this order: Agents > W-Engines > Skills.
It is recommended to enhance your skills only up to Level 7 initially, as Level 8 onwards require specialized chips that will considerably make training your agents more costly.
It is recommended to upgrade Core Skills up to C-Level because you only get the “Higher Dimensional Data” A Rank materials in the Expert Challenges.
This is much easier to complete for multiple characters than it is to farm the S Rank materials that only come from the weekly bosses in the Notorious Hunt.
