Zero

S-Rank

Cosmos Solid DamageBurst DPSInstant Cycle

Tier Position

Analysis

The game's only insta-cycler. Fully F2P and irreplaceable for bridging Anima and Cosmos teams.

Pros

Fully F2P to max out via story quests

Swiss Army knife kit: AoE, healing, and team buffs in one slot

Cons

Jack of all trades, master of none — may eventually be outclassed by specialized S-level insta-cyclers

Recommended Build

Role: Quick Swap / Battery

Zero's Insta-Cycle demands a team that exploits the guaranteed Blossom proc on demand — replacing Haniel with Hathor completes the Cosmos+Anima+Lakshana triple-cycle for Charge on every rotation. Hathor's Delay Warning grants +10% Crit Rate while Remora is active, amplifying both Zero's Appraiser-doubled flowers and Nanally's Pistil crits. Jiuyuan's Seize the Moment stacks 6 simultaneous Vita Buds, and Lost Radiance amplifies Zero's Cosmos DMG for strong personal output alongside his rotation utility.

Recommended Team

Nanally

Main DPS

More Than Passionate fires 10 Vita Pistils per Vita Bud at 1s intervals; primary Blossom DPS anchor.

Zero

Quick Swap / Battery

Appraise and Engrave provides a 100-point Esper Cycle instant charge, forcing Blossom procs on demand and preventing rotation stalls. Appraiser doubles every Blossom flower count in Charge triple-cycle.

Hathor

Battery / Sub DPS

Lakshana anchor completing the Cosmos+Anima+Lakshana Charge triple-cycle. Delay Warning extends Remora to 12s and grants +10% Crit Rate team-wide on Remora targets — amplifying Nanally's Pistil crits and Zero's Appraiser-doubled flowers.

Jiuyuan

Sub DPS / Crowd Control

Seize the Moment raises the Vita Bud field cap to 6; Intel Hunter clusters enemies for maximum multi-target Pistil coverage.
