By Shikhu
One is free, one is not. Who is worth your pulls? This time... its very clear.
With the current banners in Zenless Zone Zero featuring Hoshimi Miyabi and Asaba Harumasa, players might be wondering where to invest their valuable pulls. While both agents bring value to a team, the clear answer by far is Hoshimi Miyabi. Here’s why she is worth pulling for, and what you need to know about Harumasa.
Why Hoshimi Miyabi is the Best Pull Choice
Hoshimi Miyabi is currently the best DPS character in Zenless Zone Zero, setting a new standard for damage output among agents. Her powerful kit and synergy make her an unmatched choice for players looking to maximize their team’s damage potential. Miyabi not only raises the ceiling for what agents can achieve in terms of raw damage but also dominates the current meta, making her a top-tier option.
If you’re investing in long-term strength for your team, Miyabi is an essential addition. Her ability to deal massive damage puts her leagues ahead of most agents available in the game.
For a detailed breakdown of Hoshimi Miyabi’s best builds, weapons, and team compositions, check out the comprehensive Hoshimi Miyabi Guide.
Asaba Harumasa: Worth It for Mindscape Copies?
While Asaba Harumasa is also featured on the current banner, he is less of a priority for most players. One major factor is that Harumasa will be given out for free as part of the 1.4 update, meaning you don’t need to pull for him to unlock the character.
That said, pulling for additional Mindscape copies can enhance Harumasa’s performance by unlocking key upgrades to his abilities. If you are particularly invested in using Harumasa as a core member of your team, these extra copies can provide a nice boost. However, these mindscapes are not too powerful and it is recommended to invest vertically instead of horizontally.
To see where both Miyabi and Harumasa rank among the game’s top agents, be sure to check out the updated Zenless Zone Zero Tier List.
Should You Pull for Miyabi’s W-Engine?
The answer is a resounding yes! Hoshimi Miyabi’s signature W-Engine is incredibly powerful and surpasses other options. This weapon is tailored to enhance Miyabi’s already impressive damage output, making her even more dominant on the battlefield. If you’re pulling for Miyabi, securing her W-Engine is a worthy investment that will maximize her potential and provide massive returns.
For players looking for alternative options to see the power difference or the best builds to use with Miyabi, make sure to check out her in-depth Hoshimi Miyabi Guide, which covers her ideal discs, weapons, and teams in detail.
Final Thoughts
If you’re debating between pulling for Hoshimi Miyabi or Asaba Harumasa, the choice is clear: Hoshimi Miyabi is the superior option. She brings unmatched DPS capabilities that can carry your team through the toughest challenges in Zenless Zone Zero. While Harumasa’s free availability in 1.4 makes him a nice bonus, your pulls are far better spent securing Miyabi and her signature W-Engine to truly unlock your team’s potential.
