Zenless Zone Zero 1.7 banners – Vivian and Hugo debut

by

With Version 2.0 update and Xbox release of Zenless Zone Zero approaching, HoYoverse still plans one more update – Version 1.7 – and it seems promising in terms of its banners.

Vivian, a fervent admirer of Phaethon, steps into the action as the newest Anomaly Agent. She seems to fit seamlessly with current teams, making your Miyabi squad even stronger than before. If you thought your team was at its peak, you might need to reconsider!

Next up is Hugo, a secretive vigilante. His introduction will excite fans of Stun Agents, as this Attack character benefits more from frequent Stuns than any other Agent yet.

Here’s all the essential information regarding Zenless Zone Zero 1.7 banners, which are relevant for both Agents and W-Engines.

In this way, the text is rephrased in a more conversational tone and simplified to make it easier to read and understand.

ZZZ 1.7 banners: Phase 1

From April 23, 2025, you’ll have access to these characters starting from the 1.7 version update:

  • Vivian (S-Rank, Ether, Anomaly), Piper (A-Rank, Physical, Anomaly), Seth (A-Rank, Electric, Defense)
  • Jane (S-Rank, Physical, Anomaly), Piper (A-Rank, Physical, Anomaly), Seth (A-Rank, Electric, Defense)
  • Flight of Fancy (S-Rank, Anomaly), Roaring Ride (A-Rank, Anomaly), Peacekeeper – Specialized (A-Rank, Defense)
  • Sharpened Stinger (S-Rank, Anomaly), Roaring Ride (A-Rank, Anomaly), Peacekeeper – Specialized (A-Rank, Defense)

Vivian

Vivian exhibits both deadliness and grace, employing her parasol similarly to how a fencer wields a rapier – then swiftly transitioning by activating concealed rocket boosters within her skirt for an unexpected attack from above. In combat, Vivian gathers resources that she instantly uses for off-field assaults during switches, thereby augmenting the Ether Anomaly and inciting Disorders. With the ability to deal continuous damage and enhance the strength of fellow Anomaly Agents, it appears that Vivian will be a formidable asset to teams including Miyabi, Yanagi, Burnice, and Jane.

Jane

On the battlefield, Jane functions like a deadly tornado, expertly evading enemy attacks. While she may not possess the same raw power as Miyabi, Jane remains an influential Anomaly Agent. Her ability to launch Assaults on her adversaries creates opportunities for her team to initiate Disorders.

Piper

Piper and Jane share a common function of causing Physical Distortions on opponents, but they play significantly differently. Unlike agile and swift Jane, Piper is more of a powerful bruiser who seems to be struggling with the massive axe she carries – although she can spin to gain an advantage and also boost her allies when spinning.

Seth

Seth makes a perfect partner for Jane and fellow Anomaly Agents. Not only does he ensure their safety through the use of protective shields, but he also streamlines team movements and boosts the effectiveness of their anomaly-inflicting abilities.

ZZZ 1.7 banners: Phase 2

The second phase is set to commence on the 14th of May, 2025, and will last for a total of three weeks thereafter. During this duration, you’ll have an opportunity to acquire these specific characters.

  • Hugo (S-Rank, Ice, Attack), Soukaku (A-Rank, Ice, Support), Anton (A-Rank, Electric, Attack)
  • Lighter (S-Rank, Fire, Stun), Soukaku (A-Rank, Ice, Support), Anton (A-Rank, Electric, Attack)
  • Myriad Eclipse (S-Rank, Attack), Bashful Demon (A-Rank, Support), Drill Rig – Red Axis (A-Rank, Attack)
  • Blazing Laurel (S-Rank, Stun), Bashful Demon (A-Rank, Support), Drill Rig – Red Axis (A-Rank, Attack)

Hugo

Hugo carries a transforming suitcase onto the battlefield, which morphs into a lethal scythe, swiftly cutting through his adversaries. He becomes even more formidable in attack when his foes are stunned, with his power growing according to the length of their stun. By activating his special ability, Totalize, Hugo can instantly eliminate an enemy’s stuns and inflict a significant amount of daze instead, effectively boosting the rate at which enemies get stunned while shortening the duration of stun for increased damage per second (DPS). It’s clear that having Stun Agents on his team will be crucial.

Lighter

Lighter excels as an outstanding Stun Agent, particularly beneficial for teams composed of Fire and Ice Agents. His arsenal not only inflicts substantial pain and stuns, but also weakens enemies, making them more vulnerable to damage. If you’re in need of a Stun character to bolster your Fire and Ice strategies, Lighter is an exceptional pick.

Soukaku

Soukaku is an exceptional Support Agent for Ice-based compositions, boosting the attack power and Ice damage of your main DPS team members. Despite being somewhat cumbersome due to her slow attacks and increased vulnerability during her crucial EX Special Attack, she remains a highly beneficial addition to any team.

Anton

Anton isn’t one of ZZZ’s strongest characters, but it’s not because he lacks in dealing damage – quite the contrary, he can dish out a lot of damage if there’s sufficient Shock infliction on his team. However, his most powerful move is tricky to execute, which often makes Anton seem rather awkward to employ.

ZZZ 1.7 will be out on April 23, 2025, for PC, PS5, iOS, and Android.
