Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Leaks: Should You Save Polychromes for Claret and Roxy?

Version 3.1 hasn't even launched yet, but the community is already talking about 3.2.

That's hardly surprising. In HoYoverse games, leaks often arrive long before official announcements, and the information surrounding Version 3.2 has been showing up across multiple independent sources.

Two names keep appearing:

Claret and Roxy.

What's interesting is that both characters reportedly belong to the same faction, Flint Workshop, suggesting Version 3.2 may focus heavily on that organization and its story.

For most players, though, the bigger question isn't who these characters are.

It's whether they're worth saving Polychromes for.

Claret Could Introduce One of ZZZ's Most Unique Mechanics

According to current leaks, Claret is the owner and supervisor of Flint Workshop, a weapons development organization based in Roscaelifer.

What has players paying attention isn't her background.

It's her gameplay.

Several leak sources mention the same mechanic:

Ranged Parry.

Parrying has traditionally been a close-range defensive mechanic in ZZZ. Turning that concept into a ranged playstyle would be a significant departure from anything currently available in the roster.

Details remain scarce.

Nobody knows exactly how the mechanic works yet, which is part of the reason Claret has become one of the most discussed leaked characters.

Players aren't just curious about her power level.

They're curious about how HoYoverse plans to make ranged parrying actually work.

Roxy Could Create an Entirely New Team Archetype

Compared to Claret, Roxy's identity is easier to understand.

Leaks describe her as a mechanical genius working under Claret within Flint Workshop.

Her defining feature is reportedly a summon-based combat system.

According to current information, Roxy fights alongside mechanical servants that contribute damage and utility during combat.

If this survives into the final release, she would become the first major summon-focused character in Zenless Zone Zero.

That matters because summon characters often do more than strengthen existing teams.

They create entirely new ways to build teams.

Historically, when HoYoverse introduces a brand-new archetype, it often reshapes discussions around future team compositions and account planning.

If Roxy truly launches as a dedicated summoner, she may become the foundation of a new playstyle rather than simply another DPS option.

Should You Start Saving Polychromes Now?

For many players, the answer depends entirely on their Version 3.1 plans.

Based on the current release schedule, Version 3.2 is expected to arrive sometime between late September and early October.

That leaves more than three months to prepare.

If you're skipping both Remielle and Sigrid in Version 3.1, starting your savings plan now is perfectly reasonable.

If you're pulling heavily in 3.1, however, your real budget for 3.2 won't be known until those banners end.

That's why it may be too early to choose between Claret and Roxy today.

The smarter approach is to decide how much you're willing to invest in 3.1 first.

Then build your 3.2 strategy around what's left.

Season 3 Has Even Bigger Characters Ahead

Claret and Roxy may not be the biggest names on the horizon.

Official Season 3 teasers have already hinted at several highly anticipated characters, including Lady Sunbringer and Seth's brother, Cyrilian.

Lady Sunbringer, in particular, remains one of the most requested future playable characters due to her importance within the game's lore.

For long-term players, Version 3.2 may simply be another stop along a much larger resource-planning journey.

The Best Strategy Right Now

At the moment, both leaked characters look promising.

Roxy could introduce a brand-new summon archetype.

Claret could bring a unique ranged parry mechanic never seen before in ZZZ.

But with months remaining before launch, there's no reason to rush any decisions.

Follow the leaks.

Finish your daily content.

Plan your Version 3.1 pulls first.

Then reassess once the official Version 3.2 livestream reveals their final kits.

In most HoYoverse games, understanding how a character changes your account is far more important than reacting to early hype.
