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.
Charging up basic attacks and chaining them together requires a mild amount of timing to ensure time isn’t wasted in between each attack.
Requires a noticeable amount of field time, while his best DPS units want to be on the field.
Limited usage out of Ice teams.

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)
CRIT DMG: 100%-120%+ (Optional)

Teams & Synergy
Below we list only the most important synergies for Lycaon. 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.
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.
