Zenless Zone Zero 2.3 Banners
Exciting news for Agents! The Zenless Zone Zero 2.3 update is set to introduce two fantastic S-Rank characters: Lucia (Ether, Support) and Yidhari (Ice, Rupture). These highly anticipated additions will undoubtedly bring new dynamics to your squad. Alongside these new faces, we anticipate rerun banners for fan-favorite S-Rank characters, with Vivian (Ether, Anomaly) and Ju Fufu (Fire, Stun) being strong contenders based on previous banner patterns and community whispers.
As always, each character banner will boost the drop rates for a selection of A-Rank agents, including the formidable Manato (Fire, Rupture). And don’t forget the weapon banners! The ZZZ 2.3 weapon banners will feature the signature W-Engines for all new and returning S-Rank and A-Rank characters. Keep an eye out for the upcoming livestream for more details! These ZZZ 2.3 banners are scheduled to run from Thursday, October 16, to Thursday, November 27, 2025.
Current Zenless Zone Zero Banner
Right now, the battle for new recruits is heating up with the Wrathborn Duo and Web of Light and Shadow banners. These feature the formidable S-Rank characters Orphie & Magus (Fire, Attack) and Evelyn (Fire, Attack).
Both banners offer increased chances to pull popular A-Rank characters like Lucy (Fire, Support) and Anton (Electric, Attack).
For those seeking powerful gear, the current ZZZ weapon banners showcase Bellicose Blaze (Attack) and Heartstring Nocturne (Attack), the signature S-Rank W-Engines for Orphie & Magus and Evelyn. You’ll also find a higher chance to acquire Kaboom the Cannon (Support) and Drill Rig – Red Axis (Attack), the signature A-Rank W-Engines for Lucy and Anton.
These exciting banners are available from Wednesday, September 24, to Wednesday, October 15, 2025.
Next Zenless Zone Zero Banner
Looking ahead, the next Zenless Zone Zero banners are expected to bring more top-tier agents to the fray. We’re almost certain to see the powerful S-Rank characters Lucia (Ether, Support) and Vivian (Ether, Anomaly) taking center stage.
As with current banners, these will come with boosted drop rates for specific A-Rank characters, and we anticipate Manato (Fire, Rupture) will be featured during this phase.
On the weapon front, the next ZZZ weapon banners will introduce Dreamlit Hearth (Support) and Flight of Fancy (Anomaly), the signature S-Rank W-Engines for Lucia and Vivian. Plus, keep an eye out for an increased chance to pull Grill O’ Wisp (Rupture), Manato’s signature A-Rank W-Engine.
Mark your calendars: these next ZZZ banners are projected to run from Wednesday, October 15, to Wednesday, November 5, 2025.
Zenless Zone Zero Standard Banner
Beyond the rotating event banners, the Star-Studded Cast serves as Zenless Zone Zero’s permanent standard banner, also known as the Stable Channel. This is your continuous opportunity to pull from a consistent pool of Agents and W-Engines.
The standard banner features these incredible S-Rank characters:
- Grace
- Koleda
- Lycaon
- Nekomata
- Rina
- Soldier 11
New players especially benefit from this banner with a generous 20% discount on their first five ten-pulls and a guaranteed S-Rank character within their first 50 Signal Searches. Once these initial bonuses are used, the standard banner’s drop rates return to normal.
Zenless Zone Zero Banner Drop Rates
Understanding drop rates is crucial for maximizing your pulls! On any Zenless Zone Zero banner, you’re guaranteed an A-Rank or higher character or W-Engine for every ten pulls. For those coveted S-Rank additions, you’re guaranteed one within every 90 pulls. Remember, banners include both W-Engines and characters, so your high-grade pulls won’t always be agents.
The Zenless Zone Zero event banners, also known as the Exclusive Channel, are your best bet for acquiring limited-time S-Rank characters not found in the Stable Channel. These exclusive characters are often the strongest in this anime gacha game.
When you pull an S-Rank from an event banner, there’s a 50/50 chance it will be the featured character. If you “lose” this 50/50, don’t worry – your very next S-Rank pull is guaranteed to be the featured character! Event banners also offer increased drop rates for two additional A-Rank characters. Therefore, if you have a specific character in mind, prioritizing the event banner over the standard banner is generally the most effective strategy to boost your chances.
