Zenless Zone Zero has a new upcoming Agent in the form of Astra Yao. Fans are already anticipating the kind of Agent she will be and what kind of team she’ll fit into. This is where we are here to help you out if you’re also confused about how to use her.

In this guide, we’ll go over multiple teams that will best suit Astra Yao once she releases. Based on your preferences, we are confident there’s a team for you here too. Without further delay, let’s dive into it!

Best Teams for Astra Yao

Astra Yao is going to be the first limited S rank support unit in Zenless Zone Zero. As a result, she’ll be an incredibly strong Agent with an excellent kit. Her ultimate offers massive amounts of HP which will help you sustain your entire roster.

She also offers ATK and DMG buffs, and can operate as a chain attack enabler too without any stuns. So, we’ll be looking at 4 best teams that can suit her. You’ll be able to find a team here regardless of if you are in the late game or just starting out.

Miyabi Teams

Miyabi is an Agent that just came out about a month ago and is an incredibly strong DPS unit. A lot of people are still running Miyabi in premium teams, and Astra Yao can certainly fit in with her. Here is what the team looks like:

  • Main
    • Astra Yao
  • Pair
    • Miyabi
  • Pivot
    • Yanagi
    • Grace

Astra Yao helps support this team really well because not only can she proc Miyabi’s ability but also helps buff her. Whatever Miyabi needs, Astra Yao can provide.

The only issue with this team is that it is a premium team and might not be accessible by everyone.

Hypercarries

Astra Yao is incredibly flexible to play as the first S rank support and can even be used in a hyper carry team. Previously, you would have needed a double support team to make it work. 

But now she takes care of all the support, and so you can put whatever you want in the second slot. This is because she provides a lot of sustain and buffs, opening up a lot of options. Here are some teams that you can use with her in this way:

  • Main
    • Astra Yao
  • Pair
    • Alexandrina
    • Caesar
    • Lighter
    • Luciana
    • Nicole
    • Soukaku
    • Qingyi
  • Pivot
    • Ellen Joe
    • Miyabi
    • Harumasa
    • Jane Doe
    • Soldier 11
    • Zhu Yuan
    • Evelyn Chevalier.

Because you can practically use any unit in this team, it’s better to talk about team compositions that wouldn’t work in this case.

Astra Yao underperforms in situations where she can’t extend or create something else. For example, characters like Alexandrina can help increase the duration of Shock which Astra Yao can’t. Similarly, do you need a character that provides stuns like Caesar which Astra Yao can’t?

She is very strong but there are some limitations to her. So, try to use a team where her limitations are not exposed.

Infinite Towers

Infinite Towers is a mode where Astra Yao really shines. One of the biggest tips for clearing the tower is to use shielders. The other support units were not very good at this job, but with Astra Yao it is definitely doable.

Here is what this team looks like:

  • Main
    • Astra Yao
  • Pair
    • Any DPS unit
  • Pivot
    • Caesar.

You can use Caesar alongside Astra Yao to provide both heal and shielding. After that, you can use any DPS unit like Miyabi to help you progress in the tower.

New Player Teams

Lastly, we’ll be looking at teams with more niche units that will be accessible to most new players. Here is the team composition:

  • Main
    • Astra Yao
  • Pair
    • Nicole Demara
    • Anby Demara
    • Luciana
  • Pivot
    • Harumasa
    • Billy Kid.

You have a bunch of options for the Pair unit. You can run Luciana or Nicole as a support, or you can use Anby as a Stunner whatever goes better with your play style. Keep in mind that Astra already ticks the support box, so you could go for someone different.

For the Pivot, you can use any DPS unit. Billy Kid is free and Harumasa is also free until his event disappears. He can work with a lot of teams, so we recommend using him if you can.
