Should you pull for Caesar or Burnice in Zenless Zone Zero

Below, you will find all the information you might need about whether to pull for Caesar or Burnice in Zenless Zone Zero-as that is what we are going to take a closer look at here.

With the release of version 1.3, Zenless Zone Zero finally introduces Caesar and Burnice as rate-up characters on the character banner. Since both of these characters were pretty costly to develop, which do you invest time into—Caesar, who's readily available, or Burnice, who's only a couple of weeks away?

Caesar King vs Burnice – Zenless Zone Zero

Just on a purely cost efficiency basis, Caesar King's unusually versatile kit makes her the better value of these two five-star choices, but there's a lot of other considerations to be had as well. That does not mean Burnice is not good,

Caesar King

Caesar King's gear in Zenless Zone Zero is among the most laden I have seen. While this girl is supposed to be specialized in Physical Defense, she really demonstrates the substance of the phrase "Jack-of-all-trades, Master-of-One." Since she can perform well in every group role, fitting into any composition, she grants the best team defense buffs in the game.

She provides almost an impenetrable barrier that covers the entire team, a 25% damage debuff that's almost always active, and a huge 1000 ATK boost for the allies, which is also almost always active. Such incredible adaptability is further emphasized by her stunning skills and ability to parry blows without character shifting. On top of that, she's able to deal viable damage consistently.

Thanks to these qualities, she can easily be the main damage dealer and stunner of the team, which no other Zenless Zone Zero character currently can boast. Rest assured, all of this is Caesar King at C0, sans any extra Cinemas. I think her ridiculous adaptability makes her an easy recommendation to pull. 

Burnice

Burnice, on the other hand, is highly specialized, which has been the case with most of the characters in Zenless Zone Zero. She plays the role of a Fire Anomaly character whose goal is to give an immense amount of Fire DoT. She will burn everything coming her way with her two flamethrowers, and she does it perfectly.

Compared to Caesar, Burnice will deal so much more raw damage when her dual Anomaly team ability lets her Discord procs annihilate her enemies. With two supports included, Burnice can also become your main on-field DPS simply because of how much damage she can put out.

What's more, owing to her Afterburn mechanic, Burnice can deal massive Fire damage even when she is off the field. With the afterburn debuff, her allies will be able to "proc" extra fire damage whenever they hit the affected enemy. In turn, Burnice will be just as happy in positions where she plays a secondary damage dealer role; she doesn't need much field time to be able to debuff every enemy that comes her way.

That is all with regard to the contributions of Burnice within a team. In a way, her design does revolve around the concept that she is a reliable damage dealer, effectively relegating her to said duty. Even though Burnice brings in incredible damage, Caesar simply brings a lot more to the table that would keep her relevant for a very long time in Zenless Zone Zero. Of these, if you really had to pull just one, go for Caesar, because he's a lot more versatile than Burnice is. That concludes our guide on Whether to pull for Caesar or Burnice in Zenless Zone Zero, and we sure hope it was as helpful as possible.
