Zenless Zone Zero 3.0 patch is the biggest patch since the launch of this game. With the introduction of a new element, a rarity tier, a free anniversary character, and an explorable region, you will find this patch launch exciting.
It is necessary to learn what you should prioritize from all of these because of the availability of multiple new additions. This blog will help you learn about ZZZ new agents 2026 and elements too for better decisions.
As its new character’s banner from phase 2 is closing on July 28, it is the right time to read and understand to make a better pull decision. Let’s get started and learn more!
What’s New in 3.0
In phase 1 of ZZZ 3.0, you will have Velina’s debut, which is an S-Rank wind anomaly character. She is the first-ever wind element agent in ZZZ, which makes her debut prominent. In addition to her, Pyrois is also ready to make his debut in this phase to enhance your gaming experience.
This patch is also introducing Pyrois as a free, story-unlocked S-Rank Agent, the Etheric Other combat form of Phaethon, obtained by completing the Season 3 main story rather than through a standard banner pull.
Alongside them, you will also get Ye Shunguang’s rerun banner in this phase, which will give you a chance to experience this character again. Similarly, you will get another S-Rank character, Norma, in phase 2 of this patch update.
She is a newly introduced character with the Fire attribute and Stun combat specialty. From this phase, you will have Sunna as another S-Rank character that will be playable after the release of the update.
New Systems Worth Knowing
Alongside newly debuted characters, ZZZ 3.0 is introducing new systems you must be aware of. In this patch update, the wind element is being introduced with Weathered/Erosion debuffs and Vortex compound reaction.
This element will help you replace disorder in any of your teams in which you are running Velina. Additionally, Annihilation Simulacrum battle mode will allow proxies to deploy their trial agents against previously fought targets for their strengths and weaknesses analysis.
Chapter 1, “A Sleepwalker’s Confession” from the main story of this season, unlocks a new area, Roscaelifer. It is a classified floating sky city that is also called Celestial Nexus, which will surely improve your experience of playing ZZZ with your carefully built team.
Planning Your Polychrome Around This Patch
When it comes to planning your polychrome spend, you must keep in mind your roster gaps. As Velina is a good approach for Anomaly/Wind teams while Norma is a suitable fit for Stun/Chain Attack compositions, you must prioritize one of them depending on your roster gaps.
The reason why your focus should be on them while planning polychrome is the free availability of Pyrois. You don’t have to specify a pull budget for this character when you can get it freely via story.
One of the best strategies in this regard is to specify budgets for both phases of this season. Proxies budgeting for both halves of 3.0 have been handling their ZZZ top up through Lootbar top-up to stay ahead of each banner.
What’s Coming After 3.0
As the Zenless Zone Zero 3.0 patch has left fans excited, they are now widely searching for what’s coming after this update is rolled out. After the successful launch of this patch, version 3.1 is ready to launch from July 29, 2026.
In phase 1 of this version, we can expect to have Remielle, a Covenant of Dayat faction character, as a first-generation Void Hunter. Additionally, we can also expect Sigrid, who is a Deputy Administrative Director in phase 2 of version 3.1.
Conclusion
Undoubtedly, the ZZZ 3.0 version is the most content-dense patch update released by the game so far. It has left the proxies excited and curious to learn which character they should prioritize. We have shared everything you need to know about it.
Whichever banner you’re saving for, LootBar top up is worth having ready. We recommend that you make a quick decision after the gap analysis, as Norma’s window is closing soon.
