Billy Kid
Zenless Hub Editorial · Published September 16, 2026 · Updated September 20, 2026
Billy Kid is the free A-rank Physical Attack Agent from the Cunning Hares. He converts a safe damage opening into sustained gunfire and burst attacks. This profile covers original Billy, not Starlight - Billy.
Crouching Shot is the central mechanic
Full Firepower is his Basic Attack. Repeated or held Basic inputs enter Crouching Shot; movement during the sequence produces Rolling Shot, and releasing it produces Finishing Shot. Steady Shot, his Core Passive, grants a damage bonus while the crouching condition is active. Movement, switching out or being knocked away can end that bonus, so re-establish the stance after repositioning.
His EX Special is Clearance Time. His Ultimate is Starlight, Shine Bright. The Additional Ability Team Starlight activates with another Physical Agent or Cunning Hares member: each Chain Attack adds 50% damage to his next Ultimate, up to two stacks, consumed when the Ultimate is used. See Billy’s kit reference, checked September 20, 2026.
A practical entry sequence
With Nicole immediately before him in squad order, take her Quick Assist and hold Basic to establish Crouching Shot. Spend the burst actions available in that opening while keeping the target within reach. If an incoming hit would interrupt him, defend and rebuild the stance; preserving one buff is not worth losing the entire sequence.
Practice this once without an Ultimate. Watch whether you enter the intended stance after the assist. Then add the Ultimate to the same entry instead of changing every input at once.
Acquisition and team condition
Billy belongs to the free starting roster, documented in the starter Agent reference. Anby or Nicole activates his faction condition. That makes the Cunning Hares composition useful for learning how Chain Attacks prepare his later burst.
Equipment follows the rotation
Starlight Engine and Starlight Engine Replica have different trigger conditions despite their similar names. Read the Billy build before selecting one. That guide also compares hypothetical disc-5 stat packages and explains why a Physical damage main stat is not automatically the winner in every complete setup.
No duplicate ownership or fresh gameplay test is assumed in this profile.
