Free 5-Star Pick Guide (Festival Channel) In ZZZ

The Festival Channel in Zenless Zone Zero is an event that celebrates the game's first anniversary. As a gift for the players, the developer is letting them choose one free 5-star character and one free 5-star weapon from the Standard Banner. Although Standard Banner characters are typically weaker than the exclusive ones, it's still a gesture that the player base appreciates, especially considering the Standard Banner weapons will help a lot for certain Agents.

While some players may know exactly what to pick from the Festival Channel in ZZZ, some others may be confused about who they should get from the anniversary event. For that, this article will provide an overview of what Proxies must consider when choosing from the Festival Channel in Zenless Zone Zero.

Which 5-Star Character To Get In S-Rank Agent Select Festival Channel - ZZZ

The Festival Channel in ZZZ allows players to choose any S-Rank Agent and S-Rank W-Engine from the Standard Banners. This is great for players who are missing an Agent or if they need specific units to expand their roster.

If you're wondering who you should pick from the Festival Channel in ZZZ, here's an overview you can consider.

Agent	Primary Ability	Pull When...
Grace	Anomaly DPS.	You're missing an Anomaly Agent for an Anomaly team. For example, Jane Doe + Seth, Burnice + Caesar, and Vivian + Astra Yao.
Rina	Buffs PEN Ratio, increases Shock duration, and increases Electric DMG.	You have M0 Rina and want to use her. As of now, getting M0 Rina is not recommended because A-Rank Supports can easily outperform her. However, M1 Rina is decent, since her uptime issue will disappear.
Koleda	Fire Stunner who can increase Chain Attack DMG.	You have Evelyn but no Stunner, such as Lighter or Trigger.
Nekomata	Physical DPS.	You don't have a Physical DPS.
Soldier 11	Fire DPS.	You don't have a Fire DPS.
Lycaon	Stunner who can reduce the enemy's Ice DMG RES.	You need a universal Stunner that's easy to use and fits into multiple teams. Lycaon works with powerful Ice DPS like Hugo and Ellen.
