Gameplay differences

Zero will loose all of his health aside from 1 point when he is hit meaning that he will alway die in two hits, three if all health upgrades as it push him above the damage he is supposed to take to leave him at 1 HP. His viability can be increased by various means, however. He will regain health after a while in Very Easy, healing of any kind allow him to take an extra hit given how his damage is calculated, this also means that the Star of Dineta allow him to survive one more hit after he performs a complete taunt, Pulley's Butterfly also allows him to survive two more hits each time it is used.

Zero always has the ability to summon the Little Devils even without the Infernal Communicator. This gives him the advantage to have three accessories at once but the way this ability is used overlaps with Pulley's Butterfly and Sergei's Love, which lose some of their power as a result as the activation cost also goes to the Infernal Communicator. Zero is also faster than both Bayonetta and Jeanne. Due to his weird body shape compared to other playable characters, Zero has very strange animations when replacing Bayonetta in cutscenes and likewise, his weapons just float in midair when fighting.
