Ratings
This tier list assesses Agents (characters) based on their combat potential in Zenless Zone Zero’s most demanding contents - Deadly Assault (DA) and Shiyu Defense (SD). Please keep in mind Zenless Zone Zero is a skill-based game and each character has a different playstyle, difficulty level and even special tricks and combos. Zenless Zone Zero is also a team based game and it's only by combining both these factors to the highest level a character can reach optimal performance.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Strong damage dealer with perfectly timed attacks that are on par with some Limited S-Rank Agents.
Low resource management needs allows for both constant on-field presence and frequent, bursty stun rotations.
Standard Banner unit that’s effectively free.
Could eat something well over 2,000,000 on the scoville scale and be fine.
Cons
Relies on perfectly timed attacks to do well, demanding a high skill floor.
Highly dependent on specific units (Dialyn, Lighter, etc.) and Limited S-Rank W-Engines to be truly competitive.
Can sometimes struggle with Drive Disc set maintenance.
Will find more ways than you thought possible to botch your name.

Intro & Unique Mechanic
Soldier 11 is a Fire Attack Agent who rewards players that can perfectly time her attacks, making use of her “Fire Suppression” mechanic to upgrade skills.
Whenever Soldier 11 uses a Basic or Dash Attack, she will do Physical DMG. If, however, these attacks are perfectly timed then they will be enhanced to become a “Fire Suppression” variant, hitting much harder and dealing Fire DMG instead.
“Fire Suppression” is more than just the name of her upgraded attacks though, as upon using certain skills, like her EX Special, Chain Attack and Ultimate, she will build Fire Suppression stacks. These are then used to forcibly upgrade attacks to their Fire Suppression variants without needing perfect timing.
With her Potential Awakening however, the presence of these stacks can unlock a powerful 5th hit of her Basic Attack string, which itself can be further enhanced by consuming all remaining Fire Suppression stacks if done after a Chain Attack or Ultimate.
This amounts to a gameplay approach where one has to pay close attention to their attack timings in the out-of-stun period, then use multiple heavy hitting skills in stun to burst enemies down.
Core Passive & Additional Ability
Fire Suppression enhanced attacks are stronger in both DMG multipliers and due to Soldier 11’s Core Passive, which grants a 70% DMG Bonus to them.
Her Additional Ability needs either the same Attribute or Faction (Obol Squad) and provides:
10% Fire DMG Bonus to all attacks.
An additional 22.5% Fire DMG Bonus to all attacks against Stunned enemies.
Up to 48% CRIT DMG at Potential Awakening 6.
As a result of the significant stat boosts given by her Additional Ability, it’s very important that it is met in some way or another.
Kit Breakdown
The core of Soldier 11’s kit revolves around her Basic Attacks. She has 4 variants:
Warmup Sparks, a weak, 4-part Physical DMG string.
Fire Suppression, the enhanced Basic Attack string that is accessed either via perfect timing or by using up Fire Suppression stacks.
Burst of Firepower, a manual counter stance accessed by holding the Basic Attack button, where releasing the button leads to the parry strike which then shortcuts to Fire Suppression’s B3.
Fire Charge, an auto-counter that is built after using EX Specials, Chain Attacks or Ultimates and leads into Burst of Firepower’s parry strike, after which Soldier 11 will continue attacking from the latest attack string before its trigger.
Although Fire Suppression Basics work with either perfect timing or using up Fire Suppression stacks, it is only while there are stacks available that the 5th hit of the string is unlocked. This Fire Suppression B5 will consume a stack, but if perfectly timed, can shortcut back to the 3rd hit of the string instead of starting again at 1.
Each of these stacks lasts 15 seconds and cap out at 8, and to get them, Soldier 11 must either parry enemies with Burst of Firepower - giving 3 Fire Suppression stacks - or use EX Specials, Chain Attacks or Ultimates, all of which generate 8 Fire Suppression stacks and shortcut to her Fire Suppression B4.
After using Chain Attacks or Ultimates however, have the added bonus of making the next Fire Suppression B5 be empowered. Instead of consuming 1 Fire Suppression stack like it usually does, it will use up all current Fire Suppression stacks and deal additional Fire DMG for every stack consumed.
Each stack consumed increases the move’s DMG Multiplier by 166.4%, with a maximum of 6 stacks used at once. This is because Fire Suppression’s B4 and B5 each consume 1 stack, with the empower effect applying after. Even still, that’s over 1880% in DMG Multiplier with a single Basic Attack!
Aside from her strong Basic Attacks and the skills that enable them, Soldier 11’s Dash Attack has a Fire Suppression enhancement, but unlike her Basic Attack, has no follow-up string or empowered variant beyond it, being little more than a segue into Basic Attack strings.
As for her Dodge Counter it is surprisingly good, having solid multipliers all around and not interrupting her Basic Attack sequence if followed from within 5s. This means that if Soldier 11 gets a Perfect Dodge into Dodge Counter during her B3, she will go into her B4 after without resetting the sequence.
Assists are mediocre, but Defensive Assists and Assist Follow-ups can be useful for building Decibels. Given the value Soldier 11’s Ultimate has, it’s sometimes worth using.
Her Ultimate is plainly a very hard hitting skill, being among some of the strongest Attacker Ultimates at level 12, with a 4206% DMG Multiplier. The Chain Attack isn’t quite as strong, with it dealing only 1265% in DMG Multiplier, but both still benefit from 8 Fire Suppression stacks and the empowered B5 unlock.
Soldier 11’s EX Special hits hard but can be quite expensive, with an 80 Energy cost, but her tendency to on-field and high Energy generation on her Basic Attacks means it isn’t too difficult to sustain.
Overall, balancing out her resource generation and field time with those of her teammates and getting as many Fire Suppression B5s and empowered B5s out as possible is the gameplan, being straightforward in concept but at times demanding in execution.
How to play
When in the out-of-stun state, Soldier 11’s relies on your ability to perfectly time attacks to get Fire Suppression Basic Attack strings out, with Burst of Firepower being used to counter enemy attacks for the free 3 Fire Suppression stacks and shortcut to B3, ensuring that B5 can be used.
As Energy builds, use EX Specials for the 8 Fire Suppression stacks that it gives and instead of using Burst of Firepower, make use of the B5 → B3 shortcut and Perfect Dodges into Dodge Counters to preserve Basic Attack sequences until stacks have been used (which should amount to 3 B5s in total).
Don’t get bogged down in only doing Soldier 11 Basic Attacks though, as it’s still important to maintain buff uptime with supportive units and build Daze with Stunners. As Soldier 11 doesn’t have many resources to manage, the more stuns she gets in a fight the better.
Once Stun arrives, she has the following combo shell:
Chain Attack (or Ultimate, with Dialyn’s conversion)
B4
EB5
Swap to another character to trigger Chain
Soldier 11 Chain Attack
B4
EB5
Ultimate
B4
EB5
EX Special
B4
B5
B3, and so on, until Stun expires.
After which it’s back to timing Fire Suppressions out-of-stun, parrying with Burst of Firepower and getting the occasional EX Special for B5, B3, B4, B5 looping.
Do take care to build enough Decibels on Soldier 11 for frequent Ultimates, feeding her Defensive Assists and Assist Follow-Ups where required, but otherwise what needs to be done is simple. Just gotta practice those perfect timings!
Build and teams
Best W-Engines
The W-Engines are listed in order of priority. Sometimes the percentages appearing near them won't reflect their performance as pure damage or Stun output isn't the only thing we're looking at - the utility of the W-Engine might be more important than the calculations imply.
Team-buffed calculations
The W-Engine calculations below are team-buffed calculations and here's the team we used for them:
CRIT DMG increases by 50/57.5/65/72.5/80%. When the equipper enters the battlefield, or activates a Chain Attack or Ultimate, they gain 1 stack of Heartstring. Each stack of Heartstring allows the equipper's Chain Attack and Ultimate to ignore 12.5/14.5/16.5/18.5/20% of the target's Fire RES, stacking up to 2 times and lasting 30s. Repeated triggers reset the duration.
Base ATK (Lv 60):713
Crit Rate (Lv 60):24%
Grants a tremendous amount of unconditional CRIT RATE and CRIT DMG on top of also providing a strong amount of Fire RES shred for Solider 11's Chain and Ultimate making it her best option handily.
Usage: 22.91%
Shiyu Defense: 29233
Deadly Assault: 21232
95.11%
Increases CRIT Rate by 15/17/19/21/23%. When the equipper deals DMG with a Basic Attack or EX Special Attack, they gain 1 stack of a buff. Each stack increases the equipper's Electric DMG by 12.5/14.5/16.5/18.5/20%, up to 2 stacks. Each stack lasts 40s. The duration of each stack is calculated separately. Can trigger once per use of a skill. At 2 stacks, the wearer's Basic Attack and Ultimate DMG ignore 20/23/26/29/32% of enemy DEF.
Base ATK (Lv 60):713
Crit Rate (Lv 60):24%
Seed’s Signature W-Engine is one of the better choices for Soldier 11 thanks to its high CRIT Rate and potential to provide 20% Ignore DEF on Basic Attacks and Ultimates when reaching max stacks.

Increases CRIT DMG by 45/51.75/58.5/65.25/72%. When using an EX Special Attack, Chain Attack, or Ultimate to deal Ice DMG, the equipper gains the Absolute Zero Death Sentence effect for 3s. While Absolute Zero Death Sentence is active, the character ignores 25/28.75/32.5/36.25/40% of the enemy's DEF when landing a hit.
Base ATK (Lv 60):713
Crit Rate (Lv 60):24%
Hugo's Signature is little more than a stat stick, with Soldier 11 being unable to benefit from its Absolute Zero Death Sentence buff. Not that this matters, as it is a very strong stat stick, having a CRIT Rate mainstat and a whopping 45% unconditional CRIT DMG gain, making it a generally strong pick.

Shiyu Defense: 23759
Deadly Assault: 14510
85.93%
CRIT DMG is increased by 30/34.5/39/43.5/48%. When the equipper lands a hit with a Basic Attack, Special Attack, or Aftershock, they gain 1 stack of a buff. Each stack increases the equipper's CRIT DMG by an additional 10/11.5/13/14.5/16%, stacking up to 3 times. The effect lasts for 30s, with each stack's duration calculated separately, and can only be triggered once per use of a skill. With all 3 stacks, the equipper's Electric DMG increases by 20/23/26/29/32%.
Base ATK (Lv 60):713
Crit DMG (Lv 60):48%
Soldier 0 - Anby's Signature W-Engine and a good choice for any character with a focus on using a lot of Basic Attacks or even just a few long lasting ones. The catch is each buff stack has its own duration and only 1 buff can be gained every 0.5 seconds, making maintaining max stacks of this buff require constant Basic Attacks. Fortunately for Soldier 11 this isn't a major issue thanks to her basic spam heavy playstyle allowing for strong uptime, making this one of her better choices.
83.49%
Upon hitting an enemy with a Basic Attack, Dash Attack, or Dodge Counter, the equipper's ATK increases by 3.5/4.4/5.2/6/7% for 8s, stacking up to 8 times. This effect can trigger once every 0.5s. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.
Base ATK (Lv 60):684
Attack (Lv 60):30%
Soldier 11's own Signature W-Engine is still plenty strong, having near constant uptime in the out of stun period. During stun burst this does tank somewhat in performance, as she can only sustain around 3 stacks through her B4 and empowered B5, causing it to slowly lose value as combos progress. Even then, it's far better than any other A-Rank option (and even some Limited S-Rank W-Engines!) making it a reasonably strong and accessible pick.
Usage: 58.02%
Shiyu Defense: 25548
Deadly Assault: 16984
78.74%
Launching a Dodge Counter or Quick Assist increases the equipper's ATK by 12/13.8/15.6/17.4/19.2% for 12s.
Base ATK (Lv 60):594
Attack (Lv 60):25%
A solid all-around Free To Play accessible option for all Attack Agents. Grants 25% unconditional Standard Attack and a further 19.2% (At S5) Combat Attack buff after performing a Dodge Counter or Quick Assist lasting 12 seconds. This buff is reasonably easy for all Attack Agents to achieve in both their standard and burst rotations, assuming a Support character is present on the team.

Puffer Electro is the ideal set to use when Dialyn is on the team. With her, one of Soldier 11's Chain Attacks can be converted into an Ultimate at the start of a combo, then her Decibel Ultimate can be used later on in the combo, ensuring full 4-piece uptime in stuns. Without Dialyn though, it suffers, as Soldier 11 is highly dependent on double Chain Attacks (if she were to normally open with a Decibel Ultimate, she'd only get 1 Chain and 1 Ultimate, rather than 2 Chains and 1 Ultimate). Some characters, like Astra, can in part make up for this by supplying the missing Chain Attacks, so it can be the best Drive Disc pick, but only when specific teammates are considered.

Woodpecker Electro is a solid all-rounder option for Soldier 11. She's constantly doing Basic Attacks and in the out of stun period, and Dodge Counters are frequent (especially as it no longer interrupts her Basic Attack string) which means it can have decent uptime. It does have some issues though, namely that Fire Assault - her counter - does not trigger a stack, and the high Energy cost for her EX Special makes ith difficult to sustain the third. Despite its issues, it's a fairly competitive set, although it does need some active management.

With Soldier 11's potentials giving her so much damage on her enhanced Basic 5, Dawn's Bloom turns out to not be that bad a set to use. It isn't that the set is particularly good, as Soldier 11 has plenty of DMG Bonus saturation already and has a high EX Special Energy cost, making it somewhat annoying to manage the 4-piece, but compared to other sets - like Woodpecker Electro - its consistent DMG increases make it a competitive set.
Koleda - The 2 Fire Stun options are the most obvious-looking choice for Soldier 11, and indeed Lighter is the best Stun Agent she has. Lighter is able to massively buff Fire DMG and reduce the Fire RES of enemies which boosts Soldier 11's damage by a ton, all the while dealing massive Daze. Koleda shares the Daze infliction but her buffs are limited to Chain Attacks and aren't as desirable, but she remains a good choice.
Pulchra - These off-field Stun choices are less natural than Lighter but work brilliantly with Soldier 11. Pulchra at M6 gives a nice DMG% buff for Soldier 11 to exploit and Trigger gives a huge Stun DMG Multiplier increase as well, while Ju Fufu focuses more on improving CRIT DMG, Ultimate DMG and Chain Attack DMG. All characters deal damage and Daze while off-field which allows Soldier 11 to take that field time instead and deal a lot of damage while the others back up her Daze infliction off-field, making the pairings surprisingly strong. strong.
Seed - These two Attack Agents can and want to be paired alongside other Attack Agents who function as main damage dealers in order for their kits to work well. This is because Seed and Orphie are able to buff Attack Agents in several ways. Seed gives them Energy, ATK, DMG dealt and CRIT DMG increases. Orphie on the other hand provides ATK buffs and deals Aftershock damage on top of contributing some Fire Anomaly while operating completely off-field if desired! For these reasons, they work well as a mix of DPS and Support for Soldier 11. Great pairings overall.
Lucy - These 3 generalist units are capable of acting as Support for any team in the game. Astra Yao provides Quick Assists, extra Chain Attacks, healing, super low field time, ATK, DMG and CRIT DMG buffs which makes her the overall best choice in almost all cases. However, Soldier 11 is an exception due to her tendency to run and need to upkeep Inferno Metal's set bonus. For this reason, Yuzuha can be a great choice as well as not only does she apply lots of Anomaly, she also has awesome ATK and DMG% buffs applicable to any Agent as well, giving her general use potential. Lastly, Lucy has long-lasting ATK and CRIT DMG buffs which makes her a very practical choice, especially in Fire teams where she can help with building Anomaly and trigger Additional Abilities. All in all, these three can work with anyone.
Dialyn - Depending on how Soldier 11 is built, Dialyn may end up as the best Stunner option. She offers a wide array of buffs, has some of the highest Daze application in the game, extends stun durations and - most importantly - gives Soldier 11 the ability to get an extra Ultimate every stun. With how steep her Ultimate multipliers are, when coupled with Evelyn's Signature W-Engine and Astra's extra Chains, the raw amount of in-stun burst Soldier 11 can dish out more than makes up for the lack of an Additional Ability. Even without Evelyn's W-Engine, Dialyn is still a remarkably competitive option, and can even be run alongside other Supports or even Lighter for decent results.

Calculations
Damage
Don't use the damage output calculations as an indication on who is worth pulling or investing as those are just simulations and in day-to-day gameplay there's a lot variables and also the skill of the player is important. As usual, don't compare the numbers between characters.
New Calculations
ZZZ has changed a lot from 1.0 - many new mechanics, enemies characters have been introduced and biggest of all the game has a new competitive endgame mode Deadly Assault. Deadly Assault is based around dealing as much damage as possible in 180 seconds, because of this we're changing our calculation style away from a focus on burst to instead focus on extended fights over 3 minutes (180s). Also, many Mindscapes, Disc Drive and W-engine calculations can meaningfully change when factoring in the buffs of an Agents best team, for this reason we're also adding a new feature, allowing you to see damage output with one of the agents best teams buffs factored in.
Mindscape Notes
Soldier 11's Mindscape 1 and 4 don't have a direct impact on her damage output making their value difficult to portray in the calculations below - that doesn't mean they aren't useful though.
Soldier 11's Mindscape 6 will always be active during her Burst damage rotation where it is represented accurately. During her Standard Rotation however it may not always be active as it relies on having used an EX, Chain or Ultimate recently, for all basic attacks it is active though it will in most cases provide a 25% damage increase to those attacks, but when it's not active it will of course not offer any benefit.

Details about the calculations
And here are the W-Engines and Disk Drives used in the calculations.
CRIT DMG increases by 50/57.5/65/72.5/80%. When the equipper enters the battlefield, or activates a Chain Attack or Ultimate, they gain 1 stack of Heartstring. Each stack of Heartstring allows the equipper's Chain Attack and Ultimate to ignore 12.5/14.5/16.5/18.5/20% of the target's Fire RES, stacking up to 2 times and lasting 30s. Repeated triggers reset the duration.
Base ATK (Lv 60):713
Crit Rate (Lv 60):24%

PEN Ratio +8%.
(4)
Ultimate DMG increases by 20%. Launching an Ultimate increases the equippers ATK by 15% for 12s.
(2)
CRIT Rate +8%.
(4)
Triggering a critical hit with a Basic Attack, Dodge Counter or EX Special Attack increases the equippers ATK by 9% for 6s. The buff duration for different skills are calculated separately.
