Information aboutZenless Zone Zero’s 1.3 banners has started to come to light, so what can players expect from the upcoming additions? The hit game recently released its 1.2 update, which came with hordes of quality-of-life updates. The most notable is the removal of most TV exploration segments, which was a highly requested change. And now, fans are already looking ahead to 1.3.
Patch 1.2 also introduced two powerful charactersin Physical Shielder Caeser King and Fire Anomaly Burnice White. Though it is a ways away, early predictions for 1.4 have also begun. Since the story seems to be trending to the Section 6 faction, first introduced in the main story, the suspected banners for 1.4 are Miyabi and Harumasa. Not much is known about these two, but it is believed that Miyabi uses the Ice element in some capacity.
Zenless Zone Zero’s Confirmed 1.3 Banners
Wrapping Up Loose Ends And Beginning Anew
Through the promotional marketing ofZZZ, the two banners for patch 1.3 will be Electric Anomaly Tsukishiro Yanagi and Fire Stun Lighter. Lighter finishes off the Sons of Calydon faction introduced in 1.2, while Yanagi will be the start of Section 6’s S-Rank units. The latter will be joining the one current A-Rank character from Section 6 in Sohaku. With that, while every character is different, based on Sohaku’s strength, Yanagi may be a game-breaking new addition with hermaster and proficiency in Anomaly damage.

A Master Of Fire And Ice
From thezenlesszoneleakssubreddit, early information has been found about Lighter’s and Yanagi’s kits. The Fire Stun unit’s Normal Attack is a combo chain of five that changes the styles of the last two attacks based on player input. Lighter will also get a 40% damage reduction while performing the last three attacks.His EX Special Attack is a powerful uppercut that will deal a heavy amount of Daze and Fire damage, which has a follow-up attack if enough Energy is left over.

There are loads of Bangboo available in Zenless Zone Zero, so taking a look at the current tier list will help you discover the best for your team.
Unfortunately, there is no information about Lighter’s Ultimate, but his passive and additional abilities are known. For his passive, Lighter will gain 4.8 Morale stacks a second and when reaching 80 he enters the Moral Eruption state.This state will increase his damage, Impact, and allow him to shred the Ice and Fire resistance. The last part of Morale Eruption lets him increase the stun duration of enemies he dazes. Lighter’s bonus ability allows him to grant Uplift to allied agents, increasing that character’s Fire or Ice damage based on the amount of Uplift stacks, up to 20.
Early leaks about Lighter’s W-Engine show it being a helpful bonus to his kit. The first part of it increases his Impact when he uses his Quick or Defensive Assist. Meanwhile, the second half will build stacks, up to 20, for each Basic Attack Lighter hit.Each stack will increase crit damage to Fire and Ice attacks.
Leaked Kit Information About Zenless Zone Zero’s Yanagi
Disorder On The Rise
Based on current information, Yanagi may take over as the new best Electric Anomaly character. Her Basic Attack is the standard five-hit combo that deals Physical and Electric damage. However, it has two stances it can be used in.
One increases her resistance to interruption and the other increases her chance to interrupt enemies. Yanagi’s EX Special has her perform a powerful slash and then enter the All-Encompassing Nature mode for 15 seconds.This boosts her damage slightly and allows her to immediately go to the third attack in her chain after hitting with the fifth.
Yanagi’s Ultimate is a large AOE slash that is followed by a lightning strike that will deal a massive amount of Electric damage.For the Core Passive, enemies hit by Yanagi will be debuffed with Tremor, increasing the Electric damage they take from Yanagi by 40%. Meanwhile, her additional ability will increase Anomaly buildup after switching basic attack stances or performing her Chain/Assist attacks.
Lighter appears to be a more versatile Stun unit that, while he doesn’t increase Stun damage, has the tradeoff of buffing his teammates and giving them longer damage periods.
Compared to other W-Engines, Yanagi’s seems rather simple.It increases her Electric Anomaly buildup, her Anomaly damage when hitting a Special attack, and her Disorder damage by 25% when her Anomaly stat is over 400. In this regard, Yanagi seems like the type of character who wants a more mixed attribute team rather than Mono Electric.
Overall, these two characters are shaping up to be interesting additions toZZZ. Lighter appears to be a more versatile Stun unit that, while he doesn’t increase Stun damage, has the tradeoff of buffing his teammates and giving them longer damage periods. Yanagi will likely replace Grace Howard, but could also shift more towardsapplying Disorder damage to enemieswith Jane Doe and fast applications. However, these two could still see some changes beforeZenless Zone Zero’s 1.3 banners launch.
