Zhao
Who is Zhao?
Zhao is a limited S-rank Ice Defense agent from the Krampus Compliance Authority faction in Zenless Zone Zero — a business-savvy operative known as "the Unbeaten Legend" for her integrity and acumen. A universal Support agent despite her Defense specialty, she provides HP-scaling CRIT Rate buffs, ATK buffs via Ether Veil: Wellspring activation, and party healing. Her kit benefits both Attack and Anomaly compositions equally, and her HP breakpoints reward dedicated HP-stat building. She is particularly strong alongside Ye Shunguang and versatile enough for most top teams.
スキル概要
Zhao's Core Passive provides a team-wide CRIT Rate bonus that scales with her Max HP — reaching 27,000 HP maximises this buff, rewarding full HP-stat investment.
Zhao builds Frostbite stacks through ally damage, then activates Ether Veil: Wellspring — granting squad-wide ATK buffs and healing over time.
Wellspring: Team ATK buff + HoT (heal over time); re-activated on Frostbite threshold, keeping buffs refreshed throughout combat.
Zhao's Special Attack provides continuous HP regeneration to teammates beyond her Ultimate, ensuring reliable healing across all encounter types.
Passive bonus with Banyue and Dialyn.

よくある質問
Why does Zhao need 27,000 HP?
Zhao's Core Passive grants a team-wide CRIT Rate bonus that scales with her Max HP. The benefit maximises at 27,000 HP — below this threshold the CRIT Rate buff is smaller. Building her with HP% Drive Discs and HP mainstat pieces, combined with her signature W-Engine's HP% bonus, is the target for getting full value from her passive.
Is Zhao free or limited?
Zhao is a limited S-rank on her event Convene banner. However, in some versions of ZZZ she has been distributed as a free login or story clear reward — check the current patch patch notes to see if she is obtainable at zero currency cost during her run.
Can Zhao replace dedicated healers like Miss Esme?
Zhao provides consistent HoT (Heal over Time) via Ether Veil: Wellspring and Special Attack sustain, covering most healing needs. Her advantage over pure healers is that she simultaneously provides CRIT Rate and ATK buffs — Miss Esme provides stronger burst healing and different passive buffs. For most teams Zhao's sustain is sufficient without a second dedicated healer.
