Picking the wrong Bangboo in Zenless Zone Zero can quietly cost you 10β20% damage β or leave your team gasping for energy mid-fight. This complete ZZZ Bangboo tier list ranks all current Bangboos for Version 2.6, based on faction synergy, chain attack value, anomaly buildup, and endgame performance in Shiyu Defense and Hollow Zero.
| Tier | Bangboos |
|---|---|
| S (Meta) | Robin, Snap, Miss Esme, Belion, Butler |
| A (Strong) | Safety, Sharkboo, Amillion, Mercury, Biggest Fan, Officer Cui |
| B (Situational) | Rocketboo, Plugboo, Electroboo, Penguinboo, Resonaboo, Avocaboo |
| C (Niche) | Paperboo, Booressure, Cryboo, Devilboo, Sumoboo, Magnetiboo, Boollseye |
How to read this list: Ratings assume Lv.60 / Skill Level 4. Higher star investment significantly boosts elemental A-rank Bangboos. Always prioritize a Bangboo that fulfills your team’s faction condition.

These are the strongest picks for Version 2.6’s endgame content. Invest here first.
Robin is currently the most flexible Bangboo in the game. Its additional ability triggers at 0 stars with just one Fanciful Tongue character β the lowest requirement of any Bangboo. It dynamically switches its role (damage, stagger, or anomaly buildup) based on your on-field character’s archetype, making it genuinely universal. Top priority for Disorder comp players.
Snap is the only Bangboo that buffs your team’s damage rather than dealing its own. At 1-star Lv.60, it provides a near-permanent 6.8% team DMG increase β rising to 10% at 5 stars. It activates via Dodge Counters and Quick Assists, which happen constantly in normal play. If you run Evelyn, Snap also provides healing.
Miss Esme (added in v2.1) shoots Spectral Bubbles that heal and Twinkling Stars that restore energy. At 3 stars, her additional ability activates with just one Spook Shack character, making her viable for Yuzuha teams and beyond. She’s the go-to pick when you need both survivability and energy support.
Belion is the top pure-damage Bangboo for Yunkui Summit teams (Yixuan, Ju Fufu). Its active skill deals heavy physical damage and reduces cooldowns when teammates activate ultimates. At 3 stars, the requirement drops to one Yunkui character β a big flexibility boost.
Butler remains elite despite being a launch Bangboo. Its active skill directly restores energy to the on-field character, enabling faster skill rotations. Best used with 2+ Victoria Housekeeping characters, but even without the passive, the energy generation alone earns its spot.
Safety excels with Belobog Heavy Industries teams. Its chain attack damage jumps +20% with two faction characters, and enemies that are Burning or Shocked take additional damage β great for elemental synergy.
Sharkboo is the premier choice for Ice teams and especially Ellen Joe comps. Its chain attack inflicts massive Ice Anomaly Buildup, accelerating Freeze triggers.
Amillion stays relevant for Cunning Hares teams (Nicole, Nekomata, Billy) β delivering a 45% damage chain attack against lone targets like bosses. Strong F2P pick from the starter pool.
Mercury is a newer S-rank that brings strong synergy for specific faction compositions β worth pulling if you run teams it supports.
Biggest Fan (v2.6 addition) provides elite support for Angels of Delusion teams, granting passive ATK buffs when its active skill fires.
Officer Cui is a consistent electric anomaly support for Section 6 teams (e.g., Zhu Yuan, Nicole).
| Bangboo | Best Use Case |
|---|---|
| Rocketboo | Fire teams (Soldier 11, Koleda) |
| Plugboo | Electric teams β scales well at high stars |
| Electroboo | Budget Electric option, strong at 5 stars |
| Penguinboo | Alternative to Sharkboo for Ice teams |
| Resonaboo | Ether teams, light crowd-control |
| Avocaboo | Healing utility, outclassed by Miss Esme |
Pro Tip: For elemental A-rank Bangboos (Electroboo, Rocketboo, etc.), a maxed 5-star A-rank can match a 1-star S-rank. Invest in dupes if you have them.
Paperboo, Booressure, Cryboo, Devilboo, Sumoboo, Magnetiboo, and Boollseye offer the weakest utility in the current meta. Their conditions are hard to activate, their buffs are minor, or they’re outright replaced by better options. Magnetiboo and Resonaboo have grouping effects that can help in Hollow Zero, but they’re inconsistent.
Choose Amillion if you’re building a Cunning Hares starter team, or Butler if you want a versatile energy supporter. Both are easy to activate without expensive characters.
Yes a 5-star Electroboo can match a 1-star Plugboo. Invest in duplicates of whichever elemental Bangboo fits your team rather than chasing the S-rank version blindly.
Pull using Boopons on the Bangboo Signal Search banner (guaranteed S-rank within 80 pulls, pity carries across selector changes). You can also buy A-rank Bangboos directly from the Signal Shop with Bangbucks. Bagboo is free after completing the Chapter 2 main story mission “No Guts No Glory.”
Significantly for A-rank elemental Bangboos. For S-rank Bangboos like Robin and Snap, even 1-star performance is meta-viable β but 3+ stars noticeably unlocks better activation conditions.
Robin and Snap share the T0 position in v2.6. Robin wins on flexibility (0-star activation, role adaptation), while Snap wins for consistent team-wide damage buffing. Pull whichever fits your roster.
