Should You Pull Komano Manato?
– F2P & low-spend: Unless you are committed to physical/martial archetypes, consider waiting for banner details or rerun schedules. The lack of published rates and 4★ pool composition reduces value certainty for launch pulls.
– Optimizers: If initial tier list testing (see EarlyGG’s tier lists) gives Manato a strong rating, he may offer early-game efficiency—especially for players building around his combo mechanics.
– Whales/meta chasers: Early adoption ensures first-access and rapid advancement in meta content. Be mindful, though, that official drop rates, pity details, and banner cycles for Zenless Zone Zero have not been provided in the official reveal.

Team Compositions & Early Synergies
With Manato’s kit focusing on fast strikes and extended combos, ideal teams will likely feature:
– Supporters that boost attack speed or grant energy.
– Sheilders or healers that allow Manato to maintain unsafe aggression.
– Combo extenders that stack with his rhythm—for example, characters who apply multi-hit auras or provide melee buffs.
For budget players, early synergy may come from accessible 4★ units with straightforward support kits—guide coverage will be updated in full after launch.
Pre-Patch Preparation & Day-1 Priorities
Launch preparation:
– Material hoarding: Not possible at pre-launch, as required ascension items and drop locations are not stated in official materials.
