Brand New Main Story Quest and Faction

With the release of version 2.8 update patch, players will be able to experience another epilogue episode leading up to the release of the 3rd season for Zenless Zone Zero after the finale of Season 2 main story quest.

This time, the story will continue with the introduction of another member of KRAMPUS – Promeia and the return of a fan favorite character in another form – Starlight Billy. Investigate the conspiracies brewing in New Eridu and prepare for the release of the 3rd season of the Zenless Zone Zero Main Story. 

Brand New Playable Agents

Coming with the release of the 2.8 Update Patch, players will have the chance to roll for and add 2 brand new S Rank Agents into their roster – the S-Rank Ice Anomaly Specialty Agent Promeia and the S-Rank Physical Rupture Specialty Agent Starlight Billy.

Promeia is an upcoming S-Rank Agent of the Ice Element and Anomaly Specialty. She specializes in performing multiple different tricks on enemies with her Special Attack to apply the Ice Anomaly effect on enemies while also dealing and gaining beneficial effects when enemies are inflicted with other Anomaly effects.

Promeia’s skill kit revolves around dealing constant Basic and Skill Attacks to enemies to quickly raise the enemies’ Anomaly Gauge and trigger the Ice Anomaly effect on them, dealing massive amounts of damage. Additionally, her skill kit revolves around the Frostbite stacks and Frost Sentence Effect.

When attacking enemies with her attacks, Promeia will recover Frostbite stacks for herself and gains additional Frostbite stacks on herself when her or her allies trigger various Attribute Anomaly effects on enemies. Upon accumulating 50 Frostbite stacks, she can convert them into 1 Frost Sentence Stack, up to 2 stacks.

When dealing damage to enemies, if they are already inflicted with the Anomaly Attribute effects of other elements, Promeia is able to spend 1 Frost Sentence to trigger Abloom on the enemies, dealing powerful damage to them and recovering Decibels for herself. While doing her combo, Promeia can follow up certain abilities with her special EX Attack, performing various powerful tricks depending on which abilities she followed up.

Starlight Billy is an upcoming S-Rank Agent of the Physical Element and Rupture Class. He specializes in dealing powerful Physical Sheer Damage to enemies based on his Max HP and is capable of changing between 2 different modes to deal powerful damage to enemies with his Dodge Counter.

Starlight – Billy Skill Kit seems to be very simple but effective, with his abilities and skill allowing him to switch between 2 different modes: Free Mode and Bike Mode.

In Free Mode, Billy deals powerful Physical Sheer Damage to enemies and is capable of recovering his HP. Upon using his EX Special Attack, Billy is capable of entering his Bike Mode. In Bike Mode, Billy will continuously consume his own HP over time to massively enhance his overall damage output and allow him to take less damage. Every attack he does during his Bike Mode will accumulate Heat, and upon accumulating enough Heat stacks, Starlight Billy can use his Enhanced EX Special Attack to deal massive amounts of damage to enemies.

Brand New W-Engines & Drive Disc Set

Together with the release of Promeia and Starlight Billy, their signature W-Engines will also be added to the game:

– Promeia signature W-Engine:

Sub Stat: 30% Anomaly Mastery

Effect: Increases the equipper’s Ice DMG by 35%. When the equipper deals Ice DMG with [EX Special Attack], their Attribute Anomaly DMG increases by 15% for 30s. Max 2 stacks. Can trigger once per use of a skill. Repeated triggers reset the duration.

– Starlight Billy signature W-Engine:

Sub Stat: 30% HP

Effect: CRIT Rate increases by 20%. When the equipper launches a Basic Attack, their Physical Sheer DMG increases by 12%, stacking up to 2 times and lasting 12s. Repeated triggers reset the duration.

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 2.8, with the banners and reruns schedules as followed:

– The first phase of the version 2.8 will feature the release of the S-Rank Ice Anomaly Specialty Agent Promeia alongside her signature W-Engine. Alongside Promeia’s banner, as Promeia is an extremely good character for Anomaly playstyle, players can expect an Anomaly character to be rerun alongside her, so possible candidates includes Miyabi, Vivian or Yanagi. Aside from that, since Promeia is a Krampus member, it is likely that other Krampus members likes Dialyn, Zhao or Banyue are being rerun as well.

– For the 2nd phase of version 2.8, the S-Rank Physical Rupture Specialty Agent Starlight Billy will be on rate up alongside her signature W-Engine. As for reruns, it is very highly likely that characters that can support Starlight Billy overall damage output will be rerun, with Dialyn or Lucia being very likely candidates for Rupture damage boosting effects.
