Last updated: September 17, 2026 (Version 3.2). Agents here are ranked by endgame value — how much they lift a top team in Shiyu Defense and Deadly Assault — not by how flashy they look solo. Every S-rank Agent on this list clears endgame content when built and paired well; the tiers measure ceiling and flexibility, so a lower placement is never "bad." Rankings assume Mindscape 0 (no dupes).

A tier reflects an Agent's performance inside their best team, not their solo damage in the training room. ZZZ rewards synergy — a well-paired S-rank often out-clears a mispaired SS.

How to read this tier list
Treat this as a pull-priority guide, not a scoreboard. If you already own a strong core (a carry, a stunner, and a support), your account is in good shape — chasing every new SS unit is unnecessary. Newer players should prioritize one flexible support like Astra Yao and one carry they enjoy playing, then build around that. ZZZ is combo-driven and skill-expressive, so the Agent you actually like piloting will out-perform a "higher-tier" unit you find boring. Build who you like; the meta is wide enough to reward it.
Methodology & updates
Placements reflect community consensus drawn from established trackers including Game8 and Prydwen, cross-checked against current endgame clear data for Shiyu Defense and Deadly Assault. Only Agents confirmed live in Version 3.2 are ranked here — no leaks or unreleased units. We re-check this list every patch, so expect movement whenever a new banner or balance change lands.
