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
Incredible mobility and 3 Dashes.
Absurdly fast and consistent Physical Anomaly buildup resulting in very frequent Assault Triggers.
Can cause Assault to critically strike - an additional multiplier not accessible to any other Anomaly character at the time of her release.
Strong damage in and outside of burst windows, making her viable all throughout the duration of combat.
Can drastically extend her Passion State in the hands of a skilled player thanks to multiple abilities resetting and extending the state when used optimally.
Can be used as a sole DPS or alongside other Anomaly characters in Disorder teams giving her great team-building flexibility and future prospects.
Cons
When not taking advantage of her Chain Attack or the team's Ultimate Jane requires meaningful field time to enter and take advantage of the Passion State.
Can lose significant power if enough Anomaly Proficiency cannot be acquired in order to activate her scaling abilities.
Can sometimes lose meaningful damage due to the Anomaly Trigger cooldown and the Anomaly Ability cap (Abilities that can only Trigger Assault at the end of their animation and can waste build-up if it exceeds 100% before the end of the animation).
Compared to other characters, she's not versatile - if the endgame buffs don't favor her, she struggles a lot.
Review
Jane Doe is an S-rank Physical Anomaly Agent characterized by her primarily on-field playstyle which is flashy and ideal for Proxies who particularly enjoy playing around Perfect Dodging and high-damage Assault Anomalies that can also critically strike. As one of the most recognizable Agents in the game, she’s been playable for a long time and, like many other Anomaly DPS Agents, has seen a massive surge in power with Vivian’s release. But before we get into her meta strengths, let’s detail what her kit is all about:
Key Mechanics
Jane has a unique resource called Passion Stream, displayed below her HP bar, going up to 100 points. When she inflicts damage, she either gains or loses this resource. This depends on whether or not she is in the Passion state.
Jane’s Passion Stream gauge is restored by attacking, getting a Perfect Dodge or a Defensive Assist. When it is full, she enters the Passion state. While she is in this state, the Passion Stream gauge turns red instead of its usual blue. Inflicting damage will then consume Passion, Jane’s Anomaly Buildup Rate will be increased by 25%, and if her Anomaly Proficiency exceeds 120, each extra point increases her ATK by 2, up to a maximum of 600 at 420 Anomaly Proficiency.
The Passion Stream gauge can be restored while in the Passion State by triggering Perfect Dodges and/or Defensive Assists. It can also be restored by performing her Salchow Jump attack in the Passion state, triggered by holding Basic Attack after entering the Passion state (of which has one charge refreshing every time the Passion State is re-entered).
Jane’s Core Passive allows her to inflict the Gnawed state to any enemies hit for 10s. This causes them to have an extended duration on the Flinch effect, and Assault Anomaly damage will become able to critically strike with a base CRIT Rate of 37% and a fixed CRIT DMG of 50%. The CRIT Rate will increase depending on her Anomaly Proficiency, reaching 100% CRIT Rate at 375 Anomaly Proficiency.
Basic Attack
Jane features a 6-part Basic Attack. This serves as one of her primary means of dealing damage on-field and accumulating Passion while awaiting an opportunity to ideally Dodge Counter.
More interestingly however, she possesses a special Basic Attack called Salchow Jump, of which she gains one charge every time she enters the Passion state. Holding Basic Attack with a Salchow Jump charge available causes her to spin rapidly, then perform a finishing move, during which she is invulnerable, which can be activated early by releasing Basic Attack if needed to dodge an enemy attack. This deals a high amount of damage and applies a good amount of Physical Anomaly. However, it also severely restricts her movement which can cause issues where all hits fail to fully connect against more mobile enemies, which must be kept in mind. As mentioned earlier, it also restores Passion instead of consuming it, which paired with its good damage and Anomaly potential makes it worth executing in every Passion State she enters.
Chain Attack & Ultimate
Jane’s Chain Attack and Ultimate function as expected, however it is worth noting that they cause Jane to immediately enter the Passion state at full value, then about half of her passion is subtracted from inflicting damage. This causes Salchow Jump charges to refresh which is particularly important during her Combos — during Stun Windows (and even outside of them sometimes with her Ultimate if you are significantly overcapping on Decibels), thanks to these attacks she will be able to trigger multiple Salchow Jumps in quick succession by repeatedly entering the Passion State.
Dash Attack & Dodge Counter
Jane has two different Dash Attacks and Dodge Counters depending on whether or not she is in the Passion state. Additionally, she has different animations depending on whether the Perfect Dodge is triggered after the first or second dodge, but for all intents and purposes this makes little to no difference.
While the Dash Attack and Dodge Counter both get increased damage inside of the Passion State, in all instances the Dodge Counter applies a significantly higher amount of Daze and Anomaly per second than any Basic Attacks and triggering a Perfect Dodge always restores Passion Stream for Jane. This makes them especially important to execute whenever an opportunity presents itself. Hence, Jane’s damage potential is significantly raised depending on the player’s ability to frequently Perfect Dodge an enemy’s attacks.
Unused/Redundant parts of her kit
Jane’s Special, EX Special and Assist-related attacks all function as you’d expect them to and aren’t worth going into detail over.
Of these attacks however, we will give a particular emphasis to her EX Special. It is most notable as it deals a good chunk of damage and Anomaly when it is available, and even though it does nothing out of the ordinary otherwise (which is why we don’t go into detail over it) it is used in all of Jane’s best combos.
Meta Position & Conclusion
Jane has recently gotten lots of options in terms of teams thanks to the many Anomaly-related characters who have joined the roster, mostly in the form of Alice, Vivian and Yuzuha.
While Alice, Jane and Nicole is the best team in the game bar-none at Mindscape 2 and higher, Jane pairs the best with Vivian before that.
Due to Vivian’s Abloom having the highest scaling of Assault Anomaly and Vivian providing Jane the necessary fieldtime needed, Jane pairs exceptionally well with her.
While Yuzuha is the best overall Support for all Anomaly teams and especially for Alice, being able to significantly contribute to Anomaly Build-Up while also being able to trigger Assault during inactive attacks to prevent Anomaly Overflow, Nicole can under certain circumstances be a superior choice.
As a result, while Jane would normally have fallen to the wayside in favour of more recently released Agents, she instead experienced a resurgence in usage alongside them, gaining a significant boost to her damage ceiling when played alongside Vivian or Alice, and Yuzuha or Nicole as the ideal third slot partner.
In conclusion, while Jane definitely benefits strongly from Dodge Counters, which may deter some players away from her as this makes or breaks her damage potential depending on how aggressive the enemy is, it is worth keeping in mind that outside of this she has a fairly straightforward on-field playstyle and retains good damage potential to this day, seeing relatively frequent use in Endgame Contents despite being first released near the beginning of the game.
How to play
Playing Jane Doe revolves less around following a strict rotation and more about following a set of priorities that allow for flexibility. Since Jane's playstyle heavily depends on her team's composition, enemy actions, and, more importantly, the management of her Passion gauge, you need to master all those elements to play her well!
The crux of Jane’s gameplay is entering and maintaining the Passion State for as long as possible while executing high Anomaly build-up combos. When an enemy is Stunned or when Jane's Ultimate is ready, this task becomes much easier - thanks to the Chain Attack and Ultimate’s ability to instantly reset the Passion State. However, outside these windows, managing Jane’s Passion Meter becomes important, as any time spent outside the Passion State results in a noticeable drop in her damage output.
Given this dynamic, Jane’s gameplay can be divided into Burst (usually during a stun) and Non-Burst (filling time until the next stun) phases, each with distinct goals and priorities.
Jane Stun Gameplay Priorities
Since Jane can guarantee one or multiple Passion State resets during an enemy stun (especially if using her Ultimate), it’s wise to save her burst damage skills for these moments. This ensures not only guaranteed Passion State but also maximizes her damage output, as Stunned enemies take additional damage, and most team buffs are likely to be active (e.g., Swing Jazz, On Stun or Chain Attack Debuffs).
When looking to deal maximum burst damage with Jane while the enemy is Stunned here are some priorities to look out for which can dramatically increase your team's damage output.
Do at all times:
Apply Non-Physical Anomaly Build-Up: Whenever possible, apply non-Physical Anomalies without hogging too much field time to trigger Disorders, especially if Jane is the sole DPS.
Manage W-Engine Buffs: Ensure any W-Engine buffs relevant to Jane’s damage are stacked or refreshed, particularly her Signature buff if you’re using it.
Part 1: Right Before Stun
Activate Team Buffs: Trigger any team buffs that cannot be activated during Chain Attacks.
Part 2: Chain Attacks
Utilize Jane’s Chain Attack: Always use Jane’s Chain Attack to ensure a Passion State reset. Include any supportive Chain Attacks that amplify damage.
Optimize Buff/Debuff Uptime: Play around team-based Chain Attack buffs to maximize uptime, such as ending the Chain with Rina if she’s on the team, to prolong her buff/debuff effects.
Part 3: Burst
Spend Energy Wisely: Use all saved energy on EX Special Attacks, provided it doesn’t force you out of the Passion State.
Leverage Basic Attack:Salchow Jump : Always use Basic Attack: Salchow Jump before exiting or refreshing the Passion State, as it’s Jane’s strongest non-Chain, non-Ultimate, or non-EX move.
Consider Ultimate Timing: If other characters don’t require the Ultimate, use Jane’s Ultimate while the enemy is Stunned and has minimal Physical Anomaly build-up. This timing can nearly max out the Anomaly gauge and even overcap it, preventing damage wastage.
Here’s what a burst rotation for a team with Jane as the sole DPS might look like against a Boss-type enemy:
Chain Attack: Flowers of Sin (Passion)
Dash Attack: Phantom Thrust (Passion) (Optional if not using signature)
Basic Attack: Salchow Jump (Passion)
EX Special Attack: Aerial Sweep - Clearout (Passion)
EX Special Attack: Aerial Sweep - Clearout (Passion)
Dash Attack: Phantom Thrust (Passion)(Optional if not using signature)
Ultimate: Final Curtain (Passion)
Basic Attack: Salchow Jump (Passion)
When using Disorder-based teams, remember to leverage your other Anomaly characters to trigger Disorders during the burst window. Weaving in Basic or Dash Attacks before executing major attacks (like EX Specials or the Ultimate) is advisable if the Physical Anomaly build-up bar is close to full. This ensures no Anomaly damage potential is wasted, maximizing the overall output.
Non-Stun Gameplay Priorities
When playing Jane outside the stun window, her effectiveness depends on the team composition and how much field time they 'steal' from her.
The primary goal for Jane during non-Stun phases is to execute as many Dodges, Dodge Counters, and Passion/Anomaly-efficient combos as possible. But at the same time, you need to allow her teammates to provide buffs etc for her.
Here’s a priority list to help guide your decisions when controlling Jane during non-stun gameplay:
Support Your Team: Give the teammates enough field time to expend their energy, apply buffs, debuffs, and execute their rotations. For example, Qingyi might need to apply her Stun damage multiplier before the enemy is Stunned, and Seth may need to buff Jane via a Quick Assist.
Apply Non-Physical Anomaly Build-Up: Without interfering with your team's actions, apply as much non-Physical Anomaly build-up as possible. This step is optional if Jane is the sole DPS.
Manage W-Engine Buffs: Ensure any W-Engine buffs relevant to Jane’s damage are stacked or refreshed. Pay particular attention to Jane’s Signature buff if you're using it.
Conserve Jane’s Energy: Save Jane’s energy for when the enemy is Stunned, as this is when you can maximize her damage output.
Maximize Jane’s Field Time: When Jane has the field, prioritize her actions based on the list below to maximize her efficiency.
Execute the following in order of priority whenever Jane gets field time outside the Stun window.
Use Basic Attack: Salchow Jump when Passion is below 75% and a charge is available - optionally follow-up with the following combo by tapping Basic Attack right after Salchow Jump:
During Passion State:
Basic Attack: Salchow Jump (Passion)
Dash Attack: Phantom Thrust (Automatically cast by tapping basic)
Basic Attack: Dancing Blades P4 (Passion)
Basic Attack: Dancing Blades P5 (Passion)
Basic Attack: Dancing Blades P6 (Passion)
Dodge Counter Combo (Whenever possible, interrupt any Basic Attack combo to perform more Dodge Counters if possible):
To Build Passion:
Dodge Counter: Swift Shadow
Basic Attack: Dancing Blades P3

Basic Attack: Dancing Blades P5
Basic Attack: Dancing Blades P6
To Spend Passion:
Dodge Counter: Swift Shadow Dance (Passion)
Basic Attack: Dancing Blades P5 (Passion)
Basic Attack: Dancing Blades P6 (Passion)
Fill Field Time with Dash Attacks/Dash Attack Combos (if using Signature and buff requires refreshing) or Standard Basic Attack Combos while waiting for additional opportunities to execute Dodge Counters or Salchow Jumps:
Dodge Counter Combo (Whenever possible, interrupt any Basic Attack combo to perform more Dodge Counters if possible):
Dash Attack Non-Passion State (Only used to refresh signature):
Dash Attack: Phantom Thrust (Passion)
Basic Attack: Dancing Blades P4 (Passion)
Basic Attack: Dancing Blades P5 (Passion)
Basic Attack: Dancing Blades P6 (Passion)
Dash Attack Passion State (Used for Mobility and/or to Refresh Signature):
Basic Attack: Dancing Blades P1 (Passion or Non-Passion)
Basic Attack: Dancing Blades P2 (Passion or Non-Passion)
Basic Attack: Dancing Blades P3 (Passion or Non-Passion)
Basic Attack: Dancing Blades P4 (Passion or Non-Passion)

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.
The top number shows the relative performance of the W-Engine when looking at Jane playing with teammates, while the bottom number in the 'vacuum', so just Jane's performance solo. You can find more information about them in the Calculations tab.
For the team calculations, here's the team setup we used for them:
Upon activating a Dash Attack, gain 1 stack of Predatory Instinct. Each stack of Predatory Instinct increases the equipper's Physical DMG by 12/15/18/21/24% for 10s, stacking up to 3 times. This effect can trigger once every 0.5s and repeated triggers reset the duration. When entering combat or triggering Perfect Dodge, gain 3 stacks of Predatory Instinct. While Predatory Instinct is at maximum stacks, the equipper's Anomaly Buildup Rate increases by 40/50/60/70/80%.
Base ATK (Lv 60):713
Anomaly Proficiency (Lv 60):90
Jane's Signature provides her with 90 AP and a stackable buff that grants 36% Physical DMG and 40% Anomaly Buildup Rate. This statline makes hitting Janes goal of 420 AP easier while also boosting her damage significantly but requires her to factor in Dash Attacks or Dodge counters into her gameplay. When used correctly, one of Janes top options, when neglected (stacks allowed to fall off) loses significant value.

The equipper's Anomaly Mastery increases by 60/69/78/87/96. When inflicting Assault, the equipper's Physical DMG increases by 20/23/26/29/32% for 20s, stacking up to 2 times. Repeated triggers reset the duration. When the equipper enters combat, immediately gain 2 stacks.
Base ATK (Lv 60):713
Attack (Lv 60):30%
Alice's Signature W-Engine provides Jane with up to 60 Anomaly Mastery, 30% ATK and 40% Physical DMG Bonus but notably does not provide AP which makes reaching 420 quite a tricky endeavour. Fortunately Jane can get around this with the support of some of her best team mates and their ideal weapons (Yuzuha + Her Signature). Also thanks to the extra Anomaly Mastery and superior buildup this Engine has comapred to her signature it's able to scale better alongside Vivian allowing it to catch up in performance when her damage is included (Our calculations only assume Jane's damage).

Shiyu Defense: 128s

Whenever a squad member inflicts an Attribute Anomaly on an enemy, the equipper gains a buff that increases Anomaly Proficiency by 30/34/38/42/46, stacking up to 4 times. This effect expires when the target recovers from Stun or is defeated. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.
Base ATK (Lv 60):594
Attack (Lv 60):25%
The best fully F2P-accessible A-rank option for many Anomaly Agents, Jane being no exception to this. Grants a massive boost to Anomaly Proficiency when any squad member inflicts an Attribute Anomaly on enemies, while providing good permanent ATK via its main stats. Not comparable to the above options but a viable alternative if you don't have access to them.

Base ATK (Lv 60):594
Anomaly Proficiency (Lv 60):75

Base ATK (Lv 60):684
PEN Ratio (Lv 60):24%
A solid accessible option, granting 24% PEN Ratio, great Base ATK, ATK% and is able to provide extra Anomaly Proficiency when a Special or EX Special attack is used. When using this engine, you'll need to weave in Jane's Special Attacks at least once every 8s to ensure maximum uptime on the stackable part of this Engine's buff or its performance will suffer.Due to this, we have calculated this W-Engine with 2 stacks, but if you are able to maintain 3 stacks at all time, this W-Engine can perform better than shown here.

Teams & Synergy
Synergy
Below we list only the most important synergies for Jane Doe. The character can work with others if you know what to do and how to use them. For more alternatives, refer to the Teams section.
Alice - Normally, Jane is the greedy, on-field DPS Anomaly Agent, but with Alice she takes a step back to function as a supportive unit instead, making for a surprisingly strong team. Jane’s Core Passive allows all Assaults to CRIT, and this also applies to Alice’s Polarity Disorders. With Polarity Assaults being able to Disorder with normal Assaults, the pair can still loop Disorders despite being a Mono Physical team. As Assaults are single damage ticks, Disorders aren’t even all that important, with back-to-back Assaults doing so much damage that it can even outpace traditional Disorder-focused Anomaly teams. If Mindscapes are on the table, then the value Alice’s and Jane’s M2 brings to the team is so large that the pair will come close to - or even match - the performance of M6 teams.
Vivian - Unsurprisingly, the 2 Sub-DPS Anomaly Agents are very good pairings for Jane. As far as Anomaly units go, Jane is particularly greedy for field time, as she’s reliant on Perfect Dodges to sustain Passion State and her Signature’s buff, so the less time commitment is needed by her partners, the better she does. Vivian in particular is especially good, as Ablooms triggered in Physical Anomaly count as “Assaults”, and therefore can CRIT as a result of Jane’s Core Passive. Given that Ablooms scale particularly well with Physical Anomaly, it makes for one of the most synergistic Anomaly combinations in the game
Seth - Seth is a decent teammate on hypercarry Jane comps, where instead of working around Disorders, she just loops back-to-back Assaults instead. Seth doesn’t care for being on-field much, being able to quickswap out of his EX early and providing Quick Assists out of his enhanced Basic Attack and Assist Follow-Ups, all the while applying a 20% Anomaly Build-Up RES Shred to enemies and 100 Anomaly Proficiency to a single unit (keep in mind the shred is from enhanced Basic Attack only!). This buff not only enhances Jane’s damage output, but also assists in capping out her Core Passive bonus, making for a very potent F2P synergy.
Yuzuha - As the dedicated Anomaly Support unit, Yuzuha is an ideal match for Jane. as her greedy, on-field playstyle and high Anomaly build-up means other units can struggle to keep up, so Yuzuha makes up for the lopsided build-up and makes Disorder juggling a lot easier. This isn’t even necessary though, as unlike most teams where Yuzuha would Flavor Match a Sub-DPS Anomaly Agent (like Burnice or Vivian) just Flavor Matching Jane instead and looping back-to-back Assaults is a competitive, if not superior option at times! It allows for Jane to be built with ATK D6 (although surprisingly, AM D6 can sometimes still do better!) and lead to a simple gameplan of going for Disorders if resources are available, but otherwise ignoring any complexity and focus on getting as many Assaults as possible. The raw damage buffs that Yuzuha provides, combined with Jane’s burst potential, makes for a very strong pair.
Nicole - Any generalist support is also fine for Jane. Astra, despite being geared towards Attackers (her CRIT DMG buffs will do little for Jane, as Assault CRITs are independent of CRIT stats), the raw value of ATK and DMG % bonuses she provides makes her a solid second best pick after Yuzuha. Nicole is a powerhouse of a unit generally, and as Jane inflicts Assault - a one time burst of damage - it’s possible to ensure that every tick has DEF Shred applied to it if well managed. She can even make for a pseudo-Anomaly unit if Yuzuha Flavor Matches her, being a solid low cost option. Using Nicole well can be demanding, so Lucy is also an option, having long-lasting ATK bonuses and the ability to provide a consistent 4th stack for Kaboom the Cannon, but she isn’t a particularly strong pick. Trigger is also a surprisingly strong pick; as Anomaly Agents deal much of their damage out-of-stun and her Stun DMG multiplier bonus applies regardless of stun, it’s a strong, undiluted damage increase to Jane’s Assaults - which is even further increased if Spectral Gaze is available. Trigger also still deals a fair amount of Daze even without her Additional Ability, but as it can work with element match, using Yanagi or even Seth for it is still workable.

Calculations
Damage output
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 and 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 Mindscape, Disc Drive and W-enigne 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. We're starting this overhaul off with Alice but will be updating all other characters on the site soon, for this reason, do not compare her calculations to other characters at this time!
This character uses our new calculation format for this reason, do not compare her calculations to older character. We'll be updating all DPS characters soon.
Mindscape Disclaimers
M1: The added Basic Attack, Salchow Jump, provided by Jane's Mindscape 1 becomes increasingly valuable as combat extends. This bonus allows Jane to prolong each of her Passion States, thus magnifying the benefits over longer engagements.
M2: The effectiveness of Jane's Mindscape 2 diminishes if you cannot achieve the CRIT RATE Anomaly Proficiency cap for Jane's Gnawed State. As such, if this cap is not reached, the gains reflected in our calculations will be relatively weaker. However, even today, it is still one of the strongest mindscape 2 in the game and synergizes particularily well with Alice, being a core component of one of Jane's stronger premium team options (Alice M2, Jane M2, Nicole M6).
M6: The value of Jane's Mindscape 6 is contingent on the downtime experienced during her Passion State in the combat scenario. In instances where Jane encounters significant or frequent downtime, M6 provides substantial benefits. However, in scenarios where there is minimal to no downtime, its effectiveness is considerably reduced.
