Zenless Zone Zero v2.1 New Characters

Ukinami Yuzuha

Ukinami Yuzuha is a shrewd S-Rank Physical Support Agent who deploys her tanuki companion Kama to throw candy bombs at enemies, empowering on-field attackers to accumulate Anomaly Buildup more easily. Her signature Sweet Scare ability adapts to the active agent’s attribute via Flavor Match, significantly boosting the Anomaly Buildup efficiency while simultaneously triggering Aftershock attacks.

Alice Thymefield

Alice Thymefield, the newest member of Spook Shack, is an S-Rank Physical Anomaly Agent. As a noble heiress, she utilizes her refined swordsmanship techniques to maneuver on the battlefield and accumulate Blade Etiquette. By consuming Blade Etiquette, Alice can unleash powerful strikes, amplifying Assault and Disorder damage.

Miss Eisme and Banner Reruns

Miss Eisme, a graceful S-Rank Bangboo, soars alongside agents while generating beneficial effects that replenish Energy or HP. Additionally, the Void Hunter Miyabi (S-Rank Frost Anomaly) and Yanagi (S-Rank Electric Anomaly) will rerun on the Version 2.1 banners.

Additionally, players can expect the following in Zenless Zone Zero version 2.1:

• Explore two new summer-themed regions: Sailume Bay, the central stage for Chapter 2’s story, and Fantasy Resort, where players will team up with Spook Shack to restore its faded charm through surfing, sea battles, fishing, and island tours.
• Unlock stylish summer outfits for Yuzuha, Alice, and the protagonists, join the “En-Nah” Chess Legend auto battler with PVP, and take on a refreshed Simulated Battle Trial featuring a new skill-based scoring system.

Zenless Zone Zero version 2.1 will be released on July 16.
