Zenless Zone Zero: all factions

Find all factions with playable characters in Zenless Zone Zero
HoYoverse

Playable Zenless Zone Zero characters can be arranged in a variety of team compositions from which they gain some benefits on the battlefield. While some of these bonuses are derived from coincidental synergies in their kits, others stem from their damage type.

However, HoYoverse wants players to be able to really experiment with team compositions and freely mix and match characters while retaining their effectiveness in combat, so there is another way of gaining powerful buffs: You can put Agents from the same faction into a party.

This is giving you additional flexibility when it comes to team-building, opening up themed parties that remain strong in battle – but it also means that you should do your homework and know the options you have. Find all Zenless Zone Zero factions and characters belonging to them below.
