The high-profile investigation team includes Alice Thymefield, a descendant of the noble Thymefield family. Stay tuned to find out where her search leads!

Now, let’s move onto the way to spend all the Polychromes you’ve just earned! Version 2.1 will introduce two new characters, and feature the reruns of two others. If you love Anomaly-centered gameplay, you’d be pleased with the roster… or horrified with what it will do to your gacha budget.

Zenless Zone Zero – Version 2.1 Banners Feature:

Phase I:

S-rank Agents: Ukinami Yuzuha (Physical Support) & Hoshimi Miyabi (Frost Anomaly)
A-rank Agents: Piper (Physical Anomaly), Billy (Physical Attack)
S-rank W-Engines: Metanukimorphosis (Support) & Hailstorm Shrine (Anomaly)
A-rank W-Engines: Roaring Tide (Anomaly), Starlight Engine Replica (Attack)

Ukinami Yuzuha is a shrewd S-rank Physical Support Agent that 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.

Phase II:

S-rank Agents: Alince Thymefield (Physical Anomaly) & Tsukishiro Yanagi (Electric Anomaly)
A-rank Agents: Soukaku (Ice Support), Seth (Electric Defense)
S-rank W-Engines: Practiced Perfection (Anomaly), Timeweaver (Anomaly)
A-rank W-Engines: Bashful Demon (Support), Peacekeeper – Specialized (Defense)

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. Meanwhile, Miss Esme, a graceful S-Rank Bangboo, soars alongside agents while generating beneficial effects that replenish Energy or HP.

Additionally, the developers have revealed the upcoming demos and the character EP, coming soon!
