Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ) has already rolled out the drip marketing for Version 2.3, and it brings in three completely new Agents. HoYoverse have officially revealed Lucia, Yidhari, and Komano Manato, all of them part of the mysterious Spook Shack group from the Waifei Peninsula. People are already talking a lot about them, not only because of their unique designs but also because of how much they might change the way the game is played. Here’s what we know about the ZZZ new agents for the next version.
Lucia – The Flexible Ether Support (S-Rank)
The first new Agent being introduced is Lucia, an S-Rank Ether Support who has a design inspired by a goat or maybe a sheep thiren. She is expected to be very flexible, giving buffs to the whole team and fitting into both offensive and defensive styles without too much trouble.
From what we know so far, she should appear in the first half of Version 2.3 as part of the limited gacha banner. She’s positioned mainly as support for Strike-based teams, and early comparisons suggest she’s a step up from the A-Rank unit Pan Yinhu. Her penetration buffs are expected to make her extremely valuable, especially alongside Rupture characters like Yixuan.
Yidhari – The Ice Rupture Powerhouse (S-Rank)
The second S-Rank Agent in this update is Yidhari, who has a very different style compared to the others. She’s designed after an octopus thiren and uses a really large weapon. In the game, she takes the role of an Ice Rupture Strike Agent, and she is planned to show up in the second phase banner of Version 2.3.
Rupture characters already have a special place in the meta because of their defense-breaking abilities, something first brought in with Yixuan. Yidhari expands on that same idea, but also adds strong Ice-based crowd control effects. Her skills combine quick, heavy hits with freezing powers, so she can be dangerous both for attacking quickly and for holding enemies in place.
Komano Manato – The Accessible Fire Rupture DPS (A-Rank)
The last of the three ZZZ new agents is Komano Manato, an A-Rank Fire Rupture Strike fighter who is based on a raccoon thiren. He might not look as impressive as the two S-Rank ones, but his role is still pretty important. In ZZZ, A-Rank characters usually give players options that are easier to get and still strong enough to be useful, especially for free-to-play players or for people who don’t get the limited banners.
Manato should show up in the first half of Version 2.3 together with Lucia. He works as a steady Fire-type DPS choice, and since he’s the second Strike-based A-Rank after Yixuan, he can be a dependable backup whenever Strike DPS is needed. His moves also fit well in teams that focus on Rupture, which means he pairs nicely with stronger characters like Yixuan or Yidhari.
Release Date and Banner Schedule
Zenless Zone Zero Version 2.3 is set to come out on October 15, 2025, and it will last for about 35 days. From what we know right now, the banners looks like this:
- Lucia (S-Rank Support, Ether) → Phase 1 banner
- Komano Manato (A-Rank DPS, Fire Rupture) → Phase 1 addition
- Yidhari (S-Rank DPS, Ice Rupture) → Phase 2 banner
Because of this setup, ZZZ players can already think about how to use their pulls for these new agents. Both Lucia and Yidhari seem like they will be very important for teams that focus on Strike and Rupture playstyles, so planning ahead will probably matter a lot.
Conclusion
In Version 2.3 of Zenless Zone Zero, three new characters are being added: Lucia, Yidhari, and Komano Manato. Two of these ZZZ new agents are ranked S, which means they are very strong and more focused on specific roles. The other one is A-Rank, and that character is easier for more players to use, so it gives more balance and accessibility. For players who enjoy making new teams and testing different strategies, this update is expected to be quite impactful.
