Once the Bangboo Signal Search is unlocked in Chapter 1 Intermission of Zenless Zone Zero, players are tasked with choosing one S-Rank Bangboo to focus on. With so many adorable Bangboo to choose from, which should you select first?
Which S-Rank Bangboo should you focus in Zenless Zone Zero?
Before you can pull in the Bangboo Signal Search, you must select at least one S-Rank Bangboo to focus on. This guarantees thatany S-Rank Bangboo you pull will be the Bangboo you selected, whether that’s a lucky 1% drop or the guaranteed S-Rank from 80 pulls.
Each S-Rank Bangboo is intended to synergize best with a specificfaction(such as the Cunning Hares) or a particularattribute. This means you should choose aBangboo based on your main team’s composition.
For example, if you were lucky enough to pullEllen,Sharkboowill be your best option due to its buffs to Ice attacks, with the added bonus of looking adorable with a matching shark theme.There’s no “best” Bangboothat fits all characters and teams, so make sure to choose carefully.
Best S-Rank Bangboo for each team in ZZZ
Here are the best S-Rank Bangboofor each popular team composition:
While the other S-Rank Bangboo are all perfectly good,Amillion,Safety,Butler, andSharkbooaretypically the bestto acquire first based on thebest Agents available.
Nicole is currently the only Ether character available.Resonaboo will become more usefulwhen new Ether characters are introduced.
While light on damage itself, Butler is a support Bangboo through and through. This dapper gentleman aids with Energy Regen withtwo Victoria Housekeeping Co.Agents on the team, allowing you to output more damage overall.
Sharkboo helps tremendously with Ice damage and Attribute buildup, especially withtwo Ice charactersin your squad. With two of the best agents (Ellen and VonLycaon) in Zenless Zone Zero both being ice, Sharkboo is one of the best choices — if you’re lucky enough to own them.
Amillion synergizes best withCunning Harescharacters, increasing Chain Attacks with at least two on the squad. Since you’re given 3/4 Cunning Harescharacters for freeduring the early game, Amillion is a top choice forF2P players(or those down on their luck).
Safety buffs the damage of Chain Attacks if there aretwo Belobog Heavy IndustriesAgents on the team, increasing even more when the target is Burned or Shocked. If you’re chilling with characters like Ben, Grace, or Koleda, then Safety is the Bangboo for you.
Plugboo aids with Electric damage and buildsElectricAnomaly. Plugboo will likelyamp upin the future when more Electric characters with better synergy are introduced.
Resonaboo summons black holes, similar to Nicole’s ability. It also helps to build up Ether Anomaly with two Ether characters on the squad. The only trouble is thatNicole is currently the only Ether character in the game.
Rocketboo increasesFireAoE damage and Anomaly Buildup, requiring two Fire characters in the squad. While certainly not bad, you should only choose Rocketboo if you’re adamant about using a mono-fire team.
Bangvolver
As you’ve likely guessed, Bangvolver increasesPhysical Anomalybuildup and requires two Physical Agents on the team. It’s not the greatest Bangboo to choose overall, but it’s certainly not bad if you like your Flinch.
Whichever you choose, don’t forget to modify andupgrade your Bangbootomake the most of them in battle.
