Brand New Main Story Quest and Faction

With the end of the 2nd main story chapter of Zenless Zone Zero during the version 2.5 update and the coming of New Year celebrations, version 2.6 will feature an entirely brand new main story quest to celebrate the new year in New Eridu and to follow up to the end of the 2nd main story quest in the game to bridge the gap the time between the different main story chapters.

Alongside this, a brand new faction of characters will be making their debut with an entire new song and performances this new year for New Eridu. These characters will be the Angels of Delusions, a faction of idols and Vtubers that was teased way back from the very beginning of the game and will be making their true release with the implementation of Zenless Zone Zero version 2.6 Update.

Brand New Playable Agents

Coming with the release of the 2.6 Update Patch, players will have the chance to roll for and add 2 brand new S Rank Agents into their roster – the S-Rank Physical Support Agent Sunna and the S-Rank Ether Anomaly Agent Aria.

From initial impressions and effects, Sunna is very clearly a support character for either Ye Shunguang or her own faction, with her ability to massively improve the damage output of Ye Shunguang while also starting and maintaining Ether Veil for Ye Shunguang to take full advantage of.

Aside from that, Sunna seems to be a decently solid support character for both Attack and Anomaly Specialty centric teams, making her a very good character for players to try and roll for.

As for Aria, generally speaking, she serves the same function and role as other Anomaly characters in the game like Miyabi or Vivian, with her main unique ability being the fact that she can punish enemies by inflicting powerful Abloom damage to them as long as they are inflicted with Attribute Anomaly. If she is used alongside other characters that can trigger Abloom, Aria promises to be a very strong enabler for a new generation of Anomaly team. 

Additionally, if you aren’t used to playing around with Anomaly teamcomps, Aria might serve as a good entry point as her skill kit is fairly simple but powerful and effective.

Brand New W-Engines

Together with the release of Sunna and Aria, their signature W-Engines will also be added to the game:

– Sunna signature W-Engine:

Sub Stat: 60% Energy Regen

Effect: While off field, increases the equipper’s Energy Regen by 0.6 per second. When the equipper uses an [EX Special Attack] to deal Physical DMG, grants a buff to all squad members: Increases DMG dealt by 12.5% for 40s. Can stack up to 2 times, repeated triggers reset the duration. When at 2 stacks, additionally increases ATK by 10%. Only one instance of this effect can exist in the same squad.

– Aria signature W-Engine:

Sub Stat: 30% Anomaly Mastery

Effect: Increases the equipper’s Anomaly Proficiency by 90. When an Ether attribute equipper enters the field or activates a [Special Attack] or [EX Special Attack], they gain a buff: DMG dealt to enemies afflicted with Attribute Anomaly is increased by 20%, and all Attribute Anomaly DMG triggered is increased by 12%. This effect lasts for 15s, and repeated triggers reset the duration. The effect is removed when the equipper switches off field.

Banner Schedules & Reruns

With the release of the 2 brand new S Rank Agents, their rate up banners alongside their signature W-Engines will also be releasing during the 2.6, with the banners and reruns schedules as followed:

– The first phase of the version 2.6 will features the release of the S-Rank Physical Support Agent Sunna alongside her signature W-Engine. Alongside Sunna’s banner, there have been reports of a banner rerun for Yixuan alongside her signature W-Enginer. However, we don’t know if there will be an additional rerun banner alongside these two during the first phase banners.

– For the 2nd phase of version 2.6, the S-Rank Ether Anomaly Agent Aria will be on rate up alongside her signature W-Engine. As for reruns, it is very highly likely that the S-Rank Physical Support Agent Yuzuha will be rerun alongside her signature W-Engine to be a support character for Aria and other Anomaly Characters, though it is not fully confirmed.

Old Agents Potential and Buffs

Alongside the release of 2 brand new S Rank Agents, 2 old S Rank Agents will also be receiving their special Potential system to buff their old kits and add brand new mechanics into their playstyles.

The 2 S Rank Agents that will receive the Potential system upgrade are the S Rank Ice Stun Agent Von Lycaon and the S Rank Lightning Attack Agent Harumasa. Generally speaking, Von Lycaon will receive a buff that helps him deal more Daze to enemies even when he is off field, while Harumasa will receive a buff to his overall damage output and a boost in usability by simplifying how he is played.

Events and Game Updates

Finally, while it is not confirmed yet, several leaked data has also reveal some information on what players will be getting in terms of events and gameplay updates during Zenless Zone Zero Version 2.6 Update Patch:

– New Year in New Eridu: As this is the new year patch for Zenless Zone Zero, players can expect a large amount of New Year contents and possible free pulls to celebrate the New Year in the game.

– New Update For Hollow Zero: The roguelike gamemode for Zenless Zone Zero – Hollow Zero will receive a big update, with brand new buffs, new off-field agent mechanics and an update in terms of rewards for the gamemode, so players should look forward to obtaining a large amount of rewards from updated game mode.
