Developer HoYoverse shared the latest story cutscene from Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.7. Titled ‘He Returns from the Abyss’, it shows Hugo and Lycaon in the aftermath of the story’s turbulent events. If you have not finished the latest story, you might want to avoid it to not be spoiled!
“Weakness, hatred, malice. Tenacity, forgiveness, justice. They are all part of me. All of this makes up who I am. That’s why I won’t get rid of you. And I won’t resent you. I choose to embrace you — the part of me that harbors the deepest malice yet also suffered the most… my other self.”
At the moment, the game is going through Version 1.7: Bury Your Tears with the Past, Phase I. Proxies can spend their polychromes on the debut of Vivian (S-rank Ether Anomaly) and the first rerun of Jane Doe (S-rank Physical Anomaly). Vivian dances across the battlefield with a parasol and rapier, seamlessly shifting between grounded and aerial attacks. Her Basic Attack: Featherbloom amplifies Anomaly damage and synergizes with allies’ EX Special Attacks to boost the team’s Corruption damage.
In the second phase, Zenless Zone Zero will release Hugo Vlad (S-rank Ice Attack), accompanied by the long-awaited rerun of Lighter (S-rank Fire Stun). Hugo wields a suitcase that transforms into a sharp scythe, carving through enemies with slashes and devastating area sweeps. When hitting stunned enemies, Hugo can trigger the Totalize effect, elevating his damage based on the enemies’ remaining stun duration.
You can also pick up Robin, Mockingbird’s S-rank Bangboo whose abilities change depending on the party composition.
