More Bangboo

This is the detail page for one specific Bangboo in Zenless Zone Zero — the small companion machine that rides along with your 3-Agent team into battle. The page covers: a header showing rarity (S or A) and a short flavor line; a Skills section (Active Skill, faction/attribute-gated Additional Ability, and Chain Attack) with the effect description and cooldown for Bangboo that have skill data; and GameVika summary blocks that apply to all ~90+ Bangboo in the game: a tier ranking, how to pick an S-rank Bangboo by team faction, how leveling and System Optimization materials work, and how to obtain a Bangboo via Signal Search. The specific numbers for the Bangboo you are viewing are pulled straight from live game data and update automatically with each patch.

What is on a Bangboo detail page?

Every single-Bangboo page on GameVika follows the same layout: the header shows the rarity stars, the name, a Rank tag (S or A) and a short in-game flavor line. Below that, if the Bangboo has skill data, come three Skill blocks — Active, Additional Ability and Chain Attack — each listing the skill name, cooldown (if any) and effect description. Then come the summary blocks shared across every Bangboo: a Bangboo tier ranking, a table for picking an S-rank Bangboo by team faction, an explanation of leveling and System Optimization materials, how to obtain the Bangboo, and finally a grid of same-rarity Bangboo for quick comparison. Reading in order is enough to decide whether the Bangboo you are looking at is worth investing in.

Bangboo tier ranking

The table below is a Bangboo tier ranking compiled by GameVika from several community sources (not an official in-game stat), comparing relative strength among Bangboo in the same role. Tier 0 is the strongest group, down to Tier 3. Note: a high tier does not always mean pull it before Agents — a Bangboo only fills one fixed team slot, so matching the exact team you are building matters more than chasing a generic tier. The list only includes Bangboo that already have ranking data; newer units the community has not yet placed will be added later.

Pick an S-rank Bangboo by team faction

Many S-rank Bangboo have an Additional Ability that only activates when your team has enough characters of one Faction or one attribute — picking a Bangboo that matches the team you are running is the surest way to unlock its Additional Ability. The two tables below list the faction/attribute condition for S-rank Bangboo by their two main roles. GameVika compiled this faction info only for the named S-rank Bangboo below; faction data for A-rank Bangboo has no public source yet, so it is not listed here — do not extrapolate these faction conditions to A-rank Bangboo.

3 skill types on a Bangboo, and how they level up

Every Bangboo has 3 skill blocks, best read in this order: Active Skill — the main attack; the block lists the skill name, cooldown, and a description of the damage type and Daze it deals; Additional Ability — a passive effect that only turns on once the team meets an attribute/faction condition (e.g. needing 2+ same-attribute or same-faction Agents), listed line by line; Bangboo Chain Attack — a special move triggered through the Chain menu, with its own damage and Daze description.

Leveling these 3 skills is not independent: <small>every System Optimization (ascension) adds a combined 6 levels split between the Active Skill and the Bangboo Chain Attack; every Logic Core update adds a combined 4 levels split across all 3 skills; the Bangboo Chain Attack alone does not consume the team's Chain Attack turn when used — cross-checked against multiple independent sources.</small> Players choose which skill eats each level-up point.

System Optimization materials

Ascending a Bangboo is called System Optimization, a separate mechanic from Agent ascension. <small>The core material is Ether Electrolyte, with Energy Transfer Fluid and later Concentrated Cooling Fluid required at higher tiers, plus a rising Denny cost per tier — the same structure across every Bangboo, cross-checked against multiple independent sources.</small> A Bangboo reaches max Lv60 through 5 System Optimization tiers; stock up on materials before ascending so you do not have to stop mid-way to grind. Because this material pool is entirely separate, Bangboo ascension does not compete with Agent ascension resources — you can do both in parallel.

Role & how to pick a Bangboo for your team

A Bangboo's three main roles decide which team it fits: a damage Bangboo suits teams needing extra DMG or Anomaly buildup; an energy-support Bangboo suits teams starving for Ultimate energy; a buff Bangboo suits teams that need one specific stat amplified. For S-rank Bangboo, the surest way to pick is to follow the faction/attribute condition in the "Pick an S-rank Bangboo by team faction" table above: run a team that matches the Bangboo's faction and the Additional Ability turns on. A Bangboo only fills one slot alongside 3 Agents, so pick the one that plugs your team's actual gap rather than the highest-tier one.

How to get a Bangboo: Signal Search, Boopon and other sources

Bangboo pull from a dedicated banner called Signal Search — Bangboo Channel, entirely separate from the Agent and W-Engine banners. <small>Each pull costs 1 Boopon, with a full 10-pull costing 10 Boopon; Boopon comes from Hollow Zero, Rally Commissions, the Bangbuck Exchange, and limited-time events — cross-checked against multiple independent sources.</small> Since the Bangboo Channel has no fixed rate-up for any single unit, targeting this exact Bangboo means pulling until it drops (soft pity typically kicks in around pull 75-80, similar to other banners) — there is no way to pick it directly.

FAQ

Is an A-Rank Bangboo worth investing in?

Yes, if its role fills a gap your team is missing — an A-Rank Bangboo can outperform an S-Rank one that does not fit your comp. Compare tiers in the tier ranking on this page; if it is an S-rank Bangboo, also check the pick-by-faction table to make sure its Additional Ability will turn on before you pull.

Should I ascend Bangboo or Agents first?

Bangboo use an entirely separate System Optimization material pool (Ether Electrolyte, Energy Transfer Fluid, Concentrated Cooling Fluid), so they do not compete with Agent ascension resources — ascend both in parallel rather than picking one over the other.

When does a Bangboo's Additional Ability activate?

Only when the team meets the condition stated in the skill description — usually a minimum number of Agents sharing an attribute or faction. Without that, the Additional Ability stays off even while the Bangboo is on the team.

Does the Bangboo Chain Attack use up the team's Chain Attack turn?

No — that is what sets it apart from an Agent's Chain Attack; the Bangboo Chain Attack fires as a bonus without spending the team's remaining Chain Attack turn, cross-checked against multiple independent sources.

What role does a Bangboo actually play on the team?

A Bangboo fills one fixed slot alongside 3 Agents, playing a supporting role: extra damage/Anomaly buildup, energy support, or stat buffing — it never replaces any Agent's main role on the team.
