The Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ) community is soon getting the new 1.3 banners, and leaks are hinting that two super-awaited characters, Lighter and Yanagi, are finally gonna be introduced. People have been talking a lot about these characters, and there’s been tons of speculation and rumors flying around.
Everyone’s expecting the ZZZ 1.3 drip marketing to start sometime between September 21 and 23, 2024. And as we get closer to the global release of version 1.3, here are every detail that you should know about the new characters.
Zenless Zone Zero 1.3 Banner: New Characters
Lighter: The S-Rank Fire Attribute Agent
Lighter is expected to be one of the big characters in the ZZZ 1.3 banner, and leaks are now saying he’s gonna be an S-Rank agent, not A-Rank like people thought before. He’s from the Sons of Calydon group, and fans have already seen him in Zenless Zone Zero cutscenes and as an NPC. He’s got this cool look with green hair and a biker jacket, and his fighting style is all about strong punches and fire, which has got everyone excited.
Leaks say that Lighter’s abilities will focus on strong melee attacks and fire powers. He’s got combo moves, and his ultimate move is called "Thunder Attack," which makes his regular hits even more powerful and adds lots of fire damage. His gauntlets and diamond knuckles are also supposed to be able to make big explosive hits, making Lighter one of the most hyped male characters in the game.
Yanagi: The S-Rank Electric Anomaly
Along with Lighter in the ZZZ 1.3 update is Yanagi, who’s also an S-Rank agent. She’s from Section 6 and is rumored to have Electric Anomaly powers. Some players are saying she might be kinda like Raiden Shogun from Genshin Impact. Because of her electric abilities, she could be a great team member with other anomaly characters like Miyabi or Harumasa.
Yanagi is also said to have a big role in the upcoming storyline, as she’s already been introduced earlier in the game. Her fast, electric-infused combat style could make her a favorite for players who want a strong anomaly agent.
Zenless Zone Zero 1.3 Banner Phases and Release Date
There’s some leaks saying the ZZZ 1.3 banner will come in two parts. The first part will be all about Lighter, and then the second part will bring Yanagi. Both parts will also have new A-Rank characters, but no one knows for sure yet who they are.
The exact release dates haven’t been confirmed, but people think version 1.3 might come out globally on November 4, 2024, since the game usually updates every six weeks. We’ll probably start seeing teasers and hints about the update around 10 days after the version 1.2 Livestream.
Overall, Lighter’s cool fire-based fighting style and Yanagi’s electric anomaly powers will probably make them really special characters in Zenless Zone Zero. Fans are already excited and planning which characters to pull, hoping to add these strong agents to their team. But for now, everyone will just have to wait for more official teasers to learn about their skills and what they can do in the game.
