Hugo Vlad joined the Zenless Zone Zero roster, and we updated our Tier List accordingly! Find out if the latest attack agent is as strong as we hoped for or not?
Hugo Vlad has just been released in Zenless Zone Zero, and he's already making a major impact. We have updated our Tier List to reflect the latest rankings, but where does Hugo land?
His powerful Ice-based abilities and swift scythe combos make him a must-pull for any player looking to dominate the battlefield. If you don't have Miyabi, he's an excellent replacement for an Ice squad with strong Stun capabilities.
Notably, Hugo's arrival has not affected the rankings of other characters, keeping the rest of the roster stable from Phase 1 of Version 1.7. His damage output is equivalent to Miyabi's, which places him right alongside her in the list.
If you want to know more about Hugo's exact rank and the reasons behind it, check out our updated Tier List for Zenless Zone Zero:

Alongside Hugo, you can also check out Lighter's rank if you were planning on pulling him during his current re-run!

Hugo Vlad is now available in Zenless Zone Zero! Learn about his abilities, banner details, and his best builds and team compositions!
Hugo Vlad has officially joined the roster in Zenless Zone Zero as of today, May 14, 2025. This marks the launch of Phase 2 of Version 1.7, featuring Hugo's exclusive banner. The banner went live at 12:00 PM server time!
Hugo is an S-Rank Ice Attack Agent from the Mockingbird faction. He is known for his swift scythe attacks and powerful Ice-based abilities. He is a powerful Ice DPS with the ability to buff himself depending on the amount of Stun agents in his team. Not only that, but he can also deal a good amount of Daze, despite being an attack agent. His Scythe has a wide range, allowing you to hit enemies that are not directly close to you.
Hugo Vlad is a main DPS, and an insanely strong one on top of it. He functions mainly through stun mechanics and his burst DMG window. When you use 2 Stun Agents in your squad, Hugo's ATK increases massively. When your finishing move of your Ex Special Attack hits an enemy, Hugo enters the Totalize effect, which increases the DMG multiplier of the Finishing Move. On top of that, the Totalize effect further increases the skill's DMG multiplier based on the remaining Stun time you had on the enemy when Totalize was triggered.
Hugo is also rather easy to build: he does not require any brand-new Drive Discs, and if you farmed older ones you may already have a good set for him.
Regarding his W-Engines, while his signature gives him a massive boost, he has perfectly viable F2P options.
Finally, his best teams consist of 2 Stun agents, if you want to get the most out of his personal buffs.

In a surprising turn of events, HoYoverse released a hauntingly beautiful French ballad that captures Hugo Vlad's dramatic story. Find out more here!
Hoyoverse continues its tradition of launching an EP with every new character reveal in Zenless Zone Zero, and this week, Hugo Vlad steps into the spotlight with a dramatic approach. In a stunning surprise, Hugo's EP is entirely sung in French, perfectly mirroring the character's intense backstory and mysterious persona.
You can take a look and listen to the EP here:
The trailer showcases Hugo's dramatic story, and his struggle fighting himself. The French lyrics deepen the emotional weight of the visuals, giving us a glimpse into his struggles and motivations.
This is the first time HoYoverse has opted for a fully French soundtrack for a character's EP in Zenless Zone Zero, adding a unique layer of artistic storytelling.
The choice of language has sparked surprise but also excitement among players. Many praising the bold move for its authenticity and immersion. The only other HoYoverse character who got a French song is Furina in Genshin Impact. For her, it made sense, since she is the Archon of Fontaine, heavily inspired by France. However, a French song for Hugo was a beautiful surprise!
The lyrics themselves go over Hugo's struggles, speaking up about his inner demon, hurtful words leaving scars, and him being forced to live in suffering. The visuals are very dramatic, evoking French Dramaturgic Theater.
The shadowy visuals, melancholic atmosphere, and poetic lyrics are reminders of classic French storytelling, where tragedy and raw emotion are brought to the forefront.
Some players even noted parallels with the works of Jean Cocteau and the ambiance of Le Théâtre du Grand-Guignol, famous for its macabre and dramatic performances. Hugo's portrayal feels like a character born out of the pages of a French romantic tragedy: haunted by past mistakes, wandering through the fog of his own regrets.
With the banner switching this week, we also prepared a full guide for Hugo! You can take a look at his Best Builds, Teams, and more on our in-depth Hugo Vlad guide!

Take a look at Hugo Vlad in Zenless Zone Zero! This master of deception leads Mockingbird with ice-cold precision! From team-synergies to his best build, here's everything you need to know!
The brand-new trailer for the upcoming Zenless Zone Zero agent Hugo Vlad just dropped! Take a look at the leader of Mockingbird's latest trick!
You can watch the character demo trailer here:
Titled "Leading Man of the Apocalypse," this demo showcases Hugo as he tricks the entire police department, reuniting with Vivian on the rooftop for more mysterious plans.
Hugo is the upcoming Ice Attack Agent in Zenless Zone Zero! Former best friend of Lycaon and leader of Mockingbird alongside Vivian, Hugo is the master phantom thief! He always has more tricks up his sleeve and never hesitates to steal from the rich to give to the poor.
In combat, Hugo shines when paired with Stun Agents, allowing him to reach his full potential. He's a powerful DPS with a wide range of attacks!
While he doesn't particularly synergize with his Mockingbird teammate Vivian, on the other hand, Lycaon is a perfect fit for the job!
Being capable to deal massive damage even without heavy investment, Hugo is a must-have if you didn't farm that many Drive Discs, requiring only Woodpecker Electro as best Disc for his build! While his Signature W-Engine gives him a slight advantage, F2P options are perfectly viable as well! All he really wants is Crit and 2 Stun Squad members!

An incredibly dedicated ZZZ player cleared floor 50,000 of the Simulated Battle Trial using just one hand. The impressive feat led developers to unlock a special in-game achievement and gift every player polychromes!
The Simulated Battle Trial in ZZZ is difficult content wherein players progress through floors with increasing difficulty to gain rewards. After floor 25 of the Simulated Battle Trial, you unlock the "Endless Tower" which is essentially the same repeating floors in a loop for as long as you can stomach.
While the "end" of the Endless Tower is effectively floor 100 due to that being the final achievement as well as where the fights begin to repeating themselves. This has not stopped players from completing insane challenges. One such player managed to complete 50,000 floors in the simulated battle trial using just 1 hand! Such an impressive feet encouraged the developers to add an achievement specifically about this which then also grants everyone 5 Polychromes.
To unlock this achievement, simply speak to the Shocked Boy inside of the HIA where he also mentions specific player UID's that were the first to complete floor 10,000. Clearly since this NPC was first coded have some players been able to go much further beyond 10,000 and im sure we will one day see 100,000 floors cleared by some dedicated players. Maybe we will get even more Polychromes?
You Can Watch the video of their 50,000 clear here:
Not only are they playing 1-handed but also clearing these floors with Just Yanagi and without taking any damage, a very impressive feat.
