Agent Breakdown

Lucia: safest long-term pick

Lucia is Ether Support built for Rupture teams. She stacks squad DMG through Aftershock, Crit DMG via Dark Breaker, team healing on Ultimate, max HP from Ether Veil Wellspring, and Sheer Force scaled off her HP on EX Special. Starlight Billy, Yidhari, and the rest of the Rupture cast all want her on the field.

Dreamlit Hearth (Support specialty, Lv.60 base ATK 713 / HP 30%) keeps energy and HP/DMG buffs up when she refreshes Ether Veil. M1 ("Secret Friend") ignores 18% All-Attribute RES, adds Decibel generation, and spends Echo stacks to reapply Dreamer's Nursery Rhyme when the buff drops. If your account has no Rupture support, take Lucia first.

Trigger: flexible off-field Stun

Trigger builds Daze from off-field Aftershock so your main DPS keeps field time. She raises stun DMG multiplier before the stun window even opens, and Crit Rate feeds extra Daze. Spectral Gaze (Stun specialty, Crit Rate substat) adds Impact and DEF shred on Aftershock. M1 ("Sharpened Senses") boosts Stun DMG Multiplier another 20%, raises Purge capacity, and shortens Aftershock gaps.

She plugs into Seed, Soldier 0 - Anby, Orphie, and plenty of Crit carries. Skip her only if Dialyn, Norma, or another stunner already covers every team you clear with.

Soldier 0 - Anby: Electric Aftershock carry

Soldier 0 - Anby is an Electric Attack Agent who lives on-field. She stacks Silver Star marks, then burns them on dash attacks for the big hits. Severed Innocence is a heavy Crit DMG stick with Electric Aftershock bonus. M1 adds an extra hit after Dash Attacks.

Her premium line is Soldier 0 - Anby + Trigger + Orphie. Without that support shell she feels field-hungry and thin. Pick her when Electric hypercarry is the hole you still refuse to leave open.

Jane Doe: Anomaly + Remielle path

Jane is Physical Anomaly centered on Passion uptime. Assault can Crit with extra Crit DMG scaling, she gains flat ATK past 420 Anomaly Proficiency, and she accelerates Physical Anomaly buildup on already-anomalied targets. Sharpened Stinger pushes Physical DMG and buildup after dash chains. M1 improves Passion consistency; M2 is the spike players chase (DEF ignore + Assault Crit DMG).

Version 3.1 buffs raise her floor further. Current best partners include Velina, Yuzuha, and Alice; Remielle looks like the next Anomaly partner from the livestream. Take Jane if Anomaly is your plan, or if one more Mindscape finishes a Jane you already play.

Hugo: Ice burst for double-Stun accounts

Hugo is Ice Attack built for stun windows. Two Stun Agents on the team unlock his full ATK package and Totalize from EX Special and Ultimate. Signature Myriad Eclipse adds DEF ignore during EX / Chain / Ultimate. M1 is solid Crit; M2 lets Totalize fire twice and is the real reason veterans grab a duplicate.

Lycaon + Lighter is the simple team. Dialyn replaces a stunner once Hugo sits at M2. New accounts without that Stun stack should leave him for later.

W-Engine Selector Notes

You also pick an S-Rank W-Engine from the matching anniversary pool. Default rule: take the signature of the Agent you claim. That pair is what the kits were tuned around.

Standard S-Rank engines in the token shop (for example high-copy Weeping Cradle) can approach Lucia's signature later. That math does not beat grabbing Spectral Gaze or Dreamlit Hearth now if those Agents are your pick.

FAQ

Who is the best free S-Rank in the Zenless Zone Zero free agent selector?

Lucia for most accounts that lack a Rupture support. Jane if you are all-in on Anomaly or Remielle. Trigger if Stun flexibility is the real gap. Soldier 0 - Anby and Hugo only when their specific teams already exist on your roster.

Can you get both the Agent and the W-Engine?

Yes. Version 3.1 anniversary login grants a limited S-Rank Agent of your choice and a corresponding W-Engine of your choice, plus Polychrome ×1,600. Claim both before September 8, 2026.

Should you pick a duplicate for Mindscape instead of a new Agent?

Yes when the Mindscape is a mechanical spike: Lucia M1, Jane M2, Trigger M1, Hugo M2. Skip Mindscapes on Soldier 0 - Anby if you still need a new role on the account.

How long does Marcel Anniversary Gifts last?

Through Version 3.1, until September 8, 2026. Log in early. Do not park the claim until the last day if you travel or swap devices often.

Does the free selector replace Signal Search pity?

No. The selector is a separate login reward. Banner pity, 50/50, and Encrypted Master Tapes stay on Signal Search. Use free tapes on the banner you already planned.

Is Trigger still worth it if you own other Stun Agents?

Only if you want her off-field comfort on a second or third team. One strong stunner for your main clear team is enough; Lucia or Jane usually beats a redundant Trigger.

Conclusion

Treat this Zenless Zone Zero free agent selector page as a roster checklist. Lucia covers the widest long-term hole. Jane pays off Anomaly and Remielle plans. Trigger fills Stun gaps. Soldier 0 - Anby and Hugo need their partners already built. Grab the matching signature W-Engine, claim before September 8, and keep Monochrome ready on XPTopup only for the banner you already chose to finish.
