Review
Additional ability amplifies the standard Stun multiplier from 150% to 185% increasing team burst damage during the Stun window tremendously.
Core ability applies 25% Ice Res Shred for 30 seconds allowing for near infinite uptime on enemies boosting the damage of Ice characters by an incredible amount.
Deals massive amounts of Daze unconditionally with his charged basic attack combo allowing him to act as a main field Dazer delivering absurd Daze on the field while still having the option to support a Main DPS with Parries and EX’s when they are available.
Has access to incredible teammates, allowing Lycaon to form one of the strongest teams in the game (Mono-Ice).
Despite being incredible in Ice damage-focused teams, he can still provide value outside of them thanks to his incredible Daze and bonus stun multiplier.
Charging up basic attacks and chaining them together requires a mild amount of timing to ensure time isn’t wasted in between each attack.

This tier list assesses characters based on their combat potential in Zenless Zone Zero’s current most demanding content, Shiyu Defense (SD). SD is a mode similar to Genshin Impact’s Spiral Abyss or Honkai Star Rail’s Memory of Chaos and requires multiple teams, Disk Drives and good W-Engines. This mode offers a reasonable mix of Boss encounters (single target) and Elite packs (2-3 targets), allowing multiple characters to find a niche but in the end, there is a bias toward single target focused characters at the top-end and tier list ratings will reflect that.
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.

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 performance of the W-Engine when applying Daze while the bottom number when dealing Damage. You can find more information about them in the Calculations tab.

Best option for all Stun-focused characters granting 6% permanent Impact% from the 2-PPC and 20% increased Daze for Basic Attacks, Dash Attacks and Dodge Counters. As Stun characters top priority is dealing as much Daze as possible as fast as possible, no other set comes close to this one and the 4-PC should be pursued even at the cost of good sub-stats.
Best combined with your choice of 2-PC Set:
Substats: CRIT RATE = CRIT DMG > ATK% > PEN = ATK
Impact: 169-190+
HP: 10500+
DEF: 850+
ATK: 2000-2200+ (Optional)
CRIT RATE: 50%-60%+ (Optional)

Miyabi is the new premium Ice/Frost DPS who can take advantage of Lycaon's buffs.
With the release of Lighter, Lycaon lost the spot as BIS support for Ellen, but if you don't have Ligher, Lycaon will still work very well with her as he provides Ice RES shred and dishes out incredible amounts of Daze causing Stuns to enemies incredibly quick thereby allowing Ellen to unleash her full EX empowered Basic Combos better than any other character. On top of this Lycaon also increases the Stun multiplier on enemies from 150% to 185% further increasing Ellen’s burst damage. Finally Lycaon and Ellen both deal Ice Anomaly allowing for Freezes to occur more frequently locking up enemies and when lucky even extending Stun durations.
Corin is a character fully dedicated to the path of Charged Attacks - something that makes dealing damage outside of Stun windows incredibly difficult for her. On top of this her kit also grants bonus damage against Stunned targets. Thus, Corin is in dire need of a character not only who can Stun quickly but also activating her Additional Ability. Fortunately for her, Lycaon can solve both problems while also amplifying Corin’s damage during Stuns tremendously due to him increasing the Stun damage multiplier on enemies from 150% to 185%. Lycaon is the best raw Daze contributor in the game and has great synergy with Corin making the two a good pair as long as no other characters need Lycaon for their own team (looking at you Ellen).
If a column has multiple characters, the bigger one is the priority choice for the team while the smaller ones are alternatives. If they are the same size, either of them can be used.

Calculations
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.
Important!
Rotation time: 16.2s.
Attention!!! Calculations between characters that use Quick Swap Daze vs Main Field Daze Rotations should not be compared as they are two different playstyles!
This rotation is a rough representation of the character's Main Field Daze Rotation for the purpose of calculations. In combat you may need to interrupt your Basic Attack sequences to perform Dodges and may also find you gain more or less Dodge Counters than represented here.
