On top of this, there’s a free S-rank character up for grabs and thousands of Polychromes to unlock as part of the anniversary event. So, to help get you up to speed, our ZZZ 2.0 update guide has everything you need all in one place. 

ZZZ 2.0 release date

Zenless Zone Zero’s Version 2.0 “Where Clouds Embrace the Dawn,” will launch on June 6, which marks the beginning of Season 2.

Banners

The following characters will be released during ZZZ 2.0 banner schedule:

Phase 1

• Yixuan (S-rank, Auric Ink, Rupture)
• Astra Yao (S-rank, Ether, Support)
• Pan Yinhu (A-rank, Physical, Defense)

Phase 2

• Ju Fufu (S-rank, Fire, Stun)
• Caesar King (S-rank, Physical, Defense)

During Phase 1 of ZZZ’s 2.0 banner, players will be able to unlock Yixuan, the deadly S-rank Agent. Yixuan is known for her unique Attribute Auric Ink and Specialty Rupture, which ignores enemies’ Defense and deals damage based on her Sheer Force, which can be increased according to her Attack and Max HP. 

She also utilizes Adrenaline instead of regular Energy, and possesses two Ultimate modes. Her abilities will undoubtedly come in handy when it comes to dealing with the enemies in the Lemnian Hollow, which have tanky shields and enhanced abilities.

Astra Yao will also be getting a rerun in Phase 1, while the new A-rank Pan Yinhu will be making his debut. Pan Yinhu is a Physical, Defense character who uses his paws to pummel his enemies into submission. 

Lastly, Phase 2 will see the release of S-rank Ju Fufu, the senior disciple of Yunkui Summit. Juu Fufu uses her weapon to accumulate Might and Momentum points, which deal Physical and Fire damage. 

Her Chain Attack grants the entire team the Tiger’s Roar effect, which boosts allies’ CRIT DMG as well as the damage of Chain Attacks and Ultimates. Phase 2 will also feature a Caesar King rerun, so if you have yet to unlock the Physical Defense unit, then now’s your chance.
