Zenless Zone Zero 1.4 releases phase 1 and 2 character banners

by Junna Base November 5, 2024

Although Zenless Zone ZeroUpdate 1.4 is still a bit away, the first look at the character banners has been leaked. ZZZ was another huge success for HoYoverse and catapulted the studio to new heights. Update 1.2 was a huge update to the title and brought a new story that was more closely aligned with version 1.0. Additionally, numerous community-requested changes have been made to improve systems and gameplay.

Before 1.4, Update 1.3 will advance the story further and seemingly introduce Section 6. This is a group of special forces from New Eridu who deal with problems in Hollows. The 1.3 character banners consist of Lighter from the Sons of Calydon and Yanagi from Section 6. The former is a versatile stun unit designed for fire and ice teams. Yanagi is an anomaly unit that will apparently take on the role of the best electrical unit in the game.

Conclusion of Section 6

Zenless Zone ZeroUpdate 1.4 was leaked to complete the rest of Section 6 by adding Hoshimi Miyabi and Asaba Haramusa. These two were briefly introduced in the story of 1.0 and were two of the most anticipated characters. However, this happened for two different reasons. Miyabi was portrayed in a cutscene as one of the most powerful characters in the lore, making it likely that her equipment will be strong. Meanwhile, Haramusa has gained attention for being only the second male Limited Agent in the squad.

Section 6 Sniper

Unfortunately, very little is known about Haramusa He is an attack character that deals electrical damage. However, based on his design, there is some information that can be theorized. Haramusa is an archer, meaning he will be a ranged fighter in some capacity. This is difficult considering that most of the attack units are melee focused, with the exception of Billy and Zhu Yuan.

Both characters specialize in piercing damage due to the nature of weapons. Since Haramusa is an arc character, he could fall into a strange middle ground and be able to do both. Even if it’s a different game than Genshin ImpactIt’s worth noting how the studio typically handles arc characters. This means that Haramusa could have different playstyles from close-range and personal attacks, long-range sniper attacks or speed attacks.

All information about Hoshimi Miyabi

The powerful leader of Section 6

Fortunately, more information is known about Miyabi, but this must be taken lightly as there is no beta version yet. Miyabi is an Ice Anomaly unit and the first of its kind. Early leaks have revealed that she will add new ice effects to suit her unique role. Namely, she will inflict Ice Scorch, the Ice version of DOT, on enemies. Additionally, her kit allows enemies affected by Ice Scorch to take more critical damage. An early prediction for Miyabi shows excellent synergy with the already powerful Zenless Ice support unit Soukaku.

Although this information may change or be incorrect, it is consistent with the observations of the Anomaly units. Since Zenlos is so different from other Hoyo games when it comes to dealing damage. Anomalies must trigger more than just reactions. That’s why characters like Yanagi or Jane Doe and their best physiques have other parts in their kits that take things to a new level. Without these additions, Anomaly would feel under attack units unless each character applied their element quickly, which would result in the characters feeling too similar.

More leaked information about 1.4

More quality of life

In addition to the new story and characters, there have been rumors of further additions for 1.4. Most of these are speculation, but are probably true as they are changes that Hoyo says he is working on. This includes allowing more character models to be used during exploration periods, as only the Paethon twins, Caeser and Burnice are currently available. The other is a dramatic combat change that gives each character on a team their own decibel chargeso that the final use is no longer shared.

Overall, 1.4 is likely to be a highly anticipated update for many Zenless Player. Miyabi alone has been a long wait for many, and it will be interesting to see how a bow user fits into this chaotic, fast-paced game. Any quality of life changes to improve the game will also be amazing, but the decibel change could completely change the way combat works in the game. However, for now these are just speculations and leaks about new additions and character banners Zenless Zone Zero1.4 update.
