HoYoverse

Koleda is a formidable S-Rank Fire Stun agent in Zenless Zone Zero. However, for her kit to work correctly, you will need specific W-Engines, Drive Discs and even teammates.

Zenless Zone Zero’s S-rank and A-rank agents are the same as Genshin Impact‘s 5-star and 4-star characters. Like its sister HoYoverse games, ZZZ has rotating limited banners with featured S-rank and A-rank units.

For the first limited banner, Ellen will be featured alongside Soukaku and Anton until July 23. At that time, Zhu Yuan will be the replacement S-rank headliner.

Apart from Ellen, there are other S-rank agents to consider adding to your team, like Koleda and Nekomata. Here’s everything you need to know about building Koleda.
