My almost 200% percent buff to ult damage reaction:

[@Stabbant2000]

He’s a burst character, his ex special and ultimate does insane amounts of damage but his basic attack is very weak

[@kageneeks6393]

Honestly, ZZZ is the first game where character feel is the best way I choose to play characters. Billy has so much flow through his playstyle, even Ben I regret not building cause his parry/block skill is really meaty to hit correctly.

[@gooey7745]

Ben is a really good character to use in Hollow Zero at the start of you're under-leveled and want to clear it...he leaves behind a really good Resonium when you upgrade his support too!

[@sammorales835]

Just started playing, and doing an underleveled Hollow Zero (25, in lv 20) and Ben HARD carried the final fight with his blocks and counters. Dude just kept tanking

[@gooey7745]

Yeah! My comment is a little outdated now since characters no longer leave behind guaranteed Resonium if they leave your party, but Ben is still a great character to have around due to his counter hits and high anomaly mastery on base

[@anonymousjr.1286]

The way I look at the characters in ZZZ is that all of them are actually good, it's just a matter of what playstyle you want.

[@chefvideogame]

Because of how unique each character is compared to something like Genshin, it’s hard to find characters who share the same gameplan.

[@butter4104]

​@@chefvideogame thats mostly because of the lack of characters tbh

​@@butter4104 That's a plus. Quality over quantity.

[@akasahi9315]

Well they're all good because there's barely difference between the characters due to the universal mechanics mattering more

[@T8-TR]

This will become factually wrong once we get more units who straight up have higher modifiers and better core passives. I mean, you already see it with Ellen and Zhu Yuan having disgusting modifiers and core passives that effectively make them need very little crit rate, which further allows them to build into ATK% and Crit Damage. Billy, meanwhile, has very underwhelming modifiers and an underwhelming passive. Every passing day, I pray that we either get a 5 star Billy like Dan IL in HSR or that we could go back in time and swap his and Anby's roles.

[@pitchdotto]

Honestly tier lists aren't about how strong a character is but rather how easy it is to make big numbers for them

[@ragnarokaftershock]

That point has been made for so long but you still get stuff like this video and its reverse (you need this character to win) all the time. All a tier list usually says is "pick top tier for easy mode, pick low tier for hard mode."

[@Sirmarklee23]

That's why you don't listen to those "tier list youtubers/streamers". Those clowns place Ben on low tier list until others discover his true value.

[@themphantom9138]

[@arlleeey]

@@themphantom9138 Lol that is so Ben

[@KoeSeer]

the reason i use Billy: 1. he has 2 guns, so double the accuracy. 2. his guns are bigass guns. Have you seen how big that is? That at least a .50 AE and he has two! 3. he's a tokusatsu nerd, especially about Starlight Knight, which I can relate since I'm a Kamen Rider nerd. 4. his chain attack quote, "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? CATCH A BULLET?" is just so aggressive and condescending. 5. he's wearing red. Everyone in fiction wearing red is automatically cool in my eyes.

[@Scribby87]

Billy’s Cinema 2 is when he really starts to take advantage of that W-Engine. It makes the movement he does while using his basic attacks act like a dodge that *can trigger perfect dodge* which can activate the w-engine’s effect and anything else that works off perfect dodge mechanics. Since his damage is better in close range you never have to worry about the slight halt in attacks to dodge. You just have to move the stick to dodge now and *never stop shooting!*

[@tripplesouth]

1 valuable tip for billy. Try to get crouched stance before using Special EX or his Ultimate. His core boosts ALL dmg in his crouched stance. (Regular Attacks, Dodge Attacks, Dodge Counters, Special EX & Ultimate) Getting to his crouched stance is after firing a second of his regular rapid attack, then he does a blast and changes to his crouching stance. His crouching stance lasts even after doing dodge attacks (spinning rapid fire) (As long as you don't walk out of the stance) So you can still be mobile with his crouching stance dmg bonus. Also, I really like his Dodge attacks since it's fairly strong and hits ALL enemies within range.

1 tip Build your supports first Suokaku,Nicole,Anby are all obtainable f2p, Build Anby for Daze aka Stun, everyone else has their own specific element, Physical is technically universal, also Koleda and Ben both utilize IMPACT and fire to trigger their effects. Avacaboo (The Avacadoo boo is currently the ONLY Healer in the game so if your dying too often try to obtain that particular A-rank bangboo, for Universal usage Butlerboo works because it litterally DELIVERS Energy to the party.) hopefully you found this mini guide helpful. The characters "Main stat" will be highlighted as yellow-orange that's the stat their kit runs around.

[@Jan-bk2qv]

As a player who uses Billy and Ellen... Billy can do absurd damage if you build him with a PEN team, specially talking about Rina being the support and Anby the stun, PEN gets stronger the closer you're to endgame because of how chunky and tanky the bosses become, this makes almost every single DPS to be viable, but not many people talk about it because so many people focus on Crit based builds and not into PEN

[@bowenjudd1028]

Fun fact, Billy just gets more powerful when you abuse rolling shot, get cinema 2 and make sure your dash attacks go from the spin into a roll. You can then farm dodge counters and ex special attacks. Then do the double punish trick where to trigger a dodge counter and let the ai the ending of the dodge counter while you swap to another party member to parry the exact same attack.

[@jaim8147]

I didn't care much for any of the tier lists, I love using Billy. I love him so much. ❤

[@EtherealRune]

Depends on the game whether or not tier-lists are actually helpfull (or matter). In action'y games like ZZZ or WuWa it doesn't matter at all. Pick your favorite and go to the bank with it. You'll do fine if you invest time and energy into your favorites. In "strategic" or turn-based games like HSR or Seven you are being urged into "upgrading" your characters in terms of raw strength. There is only so much you can do in upgrading your lower tier characters and press out the necessary damage out of them, at some point you won't cross the barrier anymore and you are being forced to get new units. It's just how it is and why I always prefer action-based games.

[@rottjavel3073]

Throughout the game I have not once taken Billy off my team. The range, crowd control and way he plays just feels so smooth compared to other ranged characters like Grace, imo. I just keep on spamming the slide and shoot move (idk what it's actually called, but the one where he spins) since it hits multiple enemies at once. While no doubt pretty bad for bosses, he's really good for exploration missions.

[@doggosarebetter8069]

I literally main Billy and I’ve given him the best of everything so far. He’s my strongest rn I love him so much I will never take Billy slander 😭

[@Mottenprophet]

I really wish there was more stages for characters like Billy to shine! Something other than "Smash all these boxes in 60 seconds" quests

[@dangangalaxy9759]

I don’t think a lot of people realize that Billy’s Crouching Shot stance buffs every attack used while he’s in it, including his ultimate. So max damage you can get with him and Nicole involves Nicole EX special active + 2 chain attack stacks + dazed enemy + Billy in Crouching Shot mode. If you fulfill all of these conditions when you use his super, his damage skyrockets

[@strikerdx2]

Anby placed last on tierlist should give you an idea of how good these tierlists are.

For real. She's often on par with my busted Anton in terms of damage (due to being a lot on field), but also stuns enemies and opens them to chain attack, adding so much to your overall damage These people are high

It’s awesome to see a video like this for Billy!

I’ve got my team atm with Billy, Zhu and Nicole, it’s a ton of fun just wiping rooms out and chaining attacks like crazy. I’m glad I was able to pick up some tips and ideas from this video, thank you for making this!

[@karsonkammerzell6955]

I use Billy as my ult character in the squad. Zhu Yuan, Nicole, and Billy. Zhu Yuan, at max 4pc Ether set buff, Nicole's buffs and 4pc team wide buff, plus her debuffs only does 40-50% what Billy's ult does. I have him with the 4pc Atk boost set and swap him in after two chain attacks, Nichole buff/debuff, and doing a quick dodging attack to get his W-Engine buff and he just deletes a boss. I have yet to see a character whose ult comes even close to matching. And by close I mean even doing 50% what his does. It isn't remotely a contest.

Whenever I use Billy, the only Skills I upgrade for him are Basic Attack, Dash Attack and Ultimate. He's my best crowd destroyer and boss killer. Though, when it comes to bosses, I mostly rely on Dazing and Chain Attacks. That's where Anby comes in. His Faction Bonus allows him to have two stacks that increases his Ultimate damage by 50% each after two Chain Attacks, and the good part is that they stay and only go away once you use his Ultimate. I am using a Crit Build with him, and right now, if I remember correctly, about 125 Crit DMG and about 65 Crit Rate

[@ragnarokpuppy398]

I've always had the idea for hoyoverse games, which is that every character is good. What should be ranked is how much time you need to put into the character for it to be at a serviceable point. Like, yeah, 4* are great, but they need so much more investment put into them that a standard 5* needs due to possibly more bloated kits, stats and working teams

[@kirinashia567]

Effort vs usability is the same point as strength tiering, though. Sure, even Amber in genshin impact will nuke bosses if you give her 5000 attack and 300 crit damage, but even the better 4 * units for DPS will outshine her output with the same stats. The problem is that unless someone has insanely high flat values with no scaling, the tiers are basically going to be the same between effort to usability and raw strength. Strong characters are easier to make serviceable faster. And if you continue investing into both, the strong character will still be stronger. Tier lists are never meant to be "this is literally unplayable" but considering the timegating on resources, most players are going to opt to pick whatever they get the most "value" out of investing in immediately, right? Especially since most people like to rush the beginning of the game so they can unlock the true grind of 5 star artifacts (cry)
