Ellen Joe Is Dead in the Meta… Here’s the Truth (ZZZ Pull Guide)

Thinking about pulling Ellen Joe in Zenless Zone Zero? As someone who owns M2 Ellen Joe and genuinely loves the character, I’m here to give you real, unfiltered advice — you probably shouldn’t pull her unless you’re fully committing to waifu over meta. In this video, I break down: Why Ellen Joe struggles heavily at M0–M1 How much investment she really needs to feel good Why characters like Miyabi completely overshadow her The pain of needing multiple mindscapes just to unlock her kit How current and future content hurts Ellen’s viability And whether upcoming idol faction / ice buffer rumors could save her I don’t regret pulling Ellen Joe — she was incredible early game — but in today’s ZZZ meta, your pulls are far better spent elsewhere unless you truly love her character. If you’re an M0 Ellen Joe player clearing endgame, I genuinely want to hear your experience — drop it in the comments. 👍 Like the video if this helped 🔔 Subscribe for more honest ZZZ pull advice, tier lists, and meta breakdowns 00:00 Should You Pull Ellen Joe?
