Billy the Kid is one of the A-rank characters we get completely free at the beginning of Zenless Zone Zero. Although many places say this character is terrible, in my opinion, he is quite underrated. I believe he simply lacks ideal teammates to truly shine, which doesn't mean the character is bad individually.
Billy stands out for his tremendous mobility and significant area damage, something always valuable. An interesting aspect of Billy is that, depending on how we use his Basic ATK, we can deal more single-target damage (if we simply spam the Basic ATK button) or more multi-target damage (if we move around using the dash while attacking). Additionally, Billy deals more damage the closer he is to the enemies, despite being a ranged character.
In truth, he is a character I love, so I hope he can shine more in the future!
Base Stats
Billy Kid Pure DPS
A very conventional build for physical attack characters; there isn't much mystery in building Billy. The idea, as always, will be to boost his ATK, Physical DMG, and CRIT balance... the usual stuff.
