Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Preview: New Class and Agents

The Version 3.2 preview livestream for “Her and Her Hidden Stories” has already aired, and the update will officially launch on September 9. The redemption code from August 30 has expired, so a new code should be released with the new version.

There is plenty to look forward to this time—including a new combat specialty, a new area, free outfits, and two new S-Rank Agents who each follow a different path.

In terms of its overall positioning, Version 3.2 represents a structural change to Zenless Zone Zero’s combat system. The addition of the “Fangyu” specialty is not merely a new character type; it changes the basic logic of damage calculation. Damage scaling from DEF breaks the traditional approach to building Attack characters and requires players to reassess the value of defensive stats. If you have ever felt that Koleda’s damage ceiling was not high enough, or found existing team-building patterns repetitive, the Fangyu system in this update may be the turning point you have been waiting for.

In-Depth Look at the New “Fangyu” Specialty: The Fifth Combat Specialty and DEF-Based Scaling

Fangyu is the fifth combat specialty added after Attack, Stun, Support, and Anomaly. Its core logic converts DEF into damage, while also featuring a unique mechanic in which excess CRIT Rate can trigger a second critical hit.

A Complete Overhaul of Damage Calculation

All skill damage multipliers for Fangyu characters are based on DEF. ATK stats and CRIT DMG stats provide no benefit to Fangyu characters. This means Clawre must be built completely differently from traditional Attack characters: stacking DEF also increases damage, so survivability and offense no longer compete with each other.

For W-Engines, Fangyu options provide base DEF rather than base ATK, so they cannot be replaced by other CRIT Rate weapons. A-Rank alternatives include “King of Streetwise,” “Sacrificial Jade,” and “Moon Phase” - String.

Sharpened Damage and Sharpened Criticals

All damage dealt by Fangyu characters is classified as “Sharpened Damage,” with a critical system completely different from that of standard characters:

● Sharpened Damage: All damage dealt by Fangyu Agents uses DEF as the skill multiplier and does not scale from ATK;

● Sharpened Critical Damage: When Sharpened Damage crits, it does not use normal CRIT DMG bonuses. Instead, it calculates damage using the new “Sharpened CRIT DMG” stat;

● Double Critical Check: When CRIT Rate exceeds 100%, the excess portion triggers another Sharpened Critical check, creating a chance for a “critical hit within a critical hit”;

● One player summarized Fangyu’s mechanic as: “Anomaly with a fixed Anomaly bar.” In other words, regardless of how enemies change, Fangyu’s Sharpened Damage gauge advances at a stable pace, much like an Anomaly gauge. Unlike Anomaly effects, which may be weakened by changes in enemy resistance, Fangyu offers a steadier damage rhythm and stronger adaptability to different environments.

Remnant and Rupture Systems

Fangyu’s damage rotation revolves around “Remnant Value” and “Rupture”:

● Sharpened Damage dealt to enemies accumulates Remnant Value. Once full, the enemy gains 1 stack of Remnant, up to 3 stacks;

● Hitting an enemy with Remnant using designated attacks consumes stacks and triggers Rupture, dealing an additional area attack;

● Remnant can stack up to 3 times, allowing players to store burst resources and release them at the right moment;

Counter Assist

Fangyu characters possess a unique Counter Assist ability that can interrupt some enemy control skills. When an enemy is about to unleash a powerful attack, switching Clawre in allows her to guard and counterattack. This gives Fangyu characters stronger active defensive tools in high-pressure situations rather than simply relying on DEF and standing their ground.

Clawre Flint (Electric · Fangyu)—First-Half Banner Analysis

Clawre is the head of the Flint Workshop, a wealthy blonde heiress whom players call the creditor of all of Roskalypha. She has a tsundere personality and is easily won over by desserts. She is the first Fangyu Agent and the featured character of the first half of Version 3.2, running from September 9 to September 30.

Core Mechanic: Remnant to Rupture Rotation

Clawre’s combat loop centers on building Remnant Value and triggering Rupture:

● Build Remnant Value: All Sharpened Damage attacks against enemies accumulate Remnant Value;

● Apply Remnant: When Remnant Value is full, the enemy enters the [Remnant] state, stacking up to 3 times;

● Trigger Rupture: Hitting an enemy with Remnant using [Special Attack: Blood Oath—Sever Gold and Iron] or [EX Special Attack: Blood Oath—Burial Blood Assault] consumes 1 stack of Remnant and triggers Rupture for additional damage;

● Rotation Feedback: Whenever the team triggers Rupture, Clawre gains 1 point of personal resource to maintain her skill rotation;

Crimson Inscription

After entering [Crimson Inscription], Clawre gains increased interruption resistance. When she attacks targets with Blood Oath skills, her CRIT Rate increases by 25% and damage increases by 20%.

Core Passive: Pale Blood Banquet

● All damage dealt by Clawre’s attacks is Sharpened Damage and uses DEF as the skill damage multiplier;

● When a critical hit occurs, Sharpened Critical Damage replaces normal CRIT DMG in the calculation;

● When CRIT Rate exceeds 100%, an additional Sharpened Critical check occurs, with the Sharpened Critical chance equal to the excess CRIT Rate;

Additional Ability: Bloodline Legacy—A Team-Building Key

This activates when the team includes a [Stun] character or another [Fangyu] character:

● When an ally’s attack hits an enemy, it adds 3% Remnant Value to the target, once per second at most;

● When a Stun character’s heavy Special Attack hits, it can trigger Rupture;

● After triggering Rupture, Clawre enters [Sharp and Unyielding]: PEN Ratio increases by 16% and Daze increases by 10% for 4 seconds;

● This state can be copied to the switched-in character, sharing the team buff;

This means Clawre’s best teammates are Stun characters or other Fangyu characters. Stun characters help her build Remnant faster, while Fangyu teammates can copy each other’s buffs.

Gameplay Tips

1: After entering combat, use Basic Attacks and skills to build Remnant Value, aiming to put enemies into the Remnant state quickly;

2: After reaching 3 stacks of Remnant, use a Special Attack or EX Special Attack to trigger Rupture and unleash burst damage;

3: During Crimson Inscription, prioritize Blood Oath skills to maximize CRIT Rate and damage bonuses;

4: Pay attention to copying and maintaining Sharp and Unyielding when switching characters, as this is key to team damage;

Roxie Evrita Price (Wind · Stun)—Second-Half Banner Analysis

Roxie is Clawre’s deputy, a green-haired girl who wears glasses. Her concept is especially distinctive: a coffin customer-service representative in the funeral industry. She is a Wind Stun character arriving in the second half of Version 3.2, from September 30 to October 20. She can summon a “Storm Eye” and detonate Wind Fields for area control. Her Chinese voice is provided by Liu Yilei, and her Japanese voice by Chinatsu Akasaki.

Core Mechanic: Wind Energy and Storm Eye System

Roxie’s kit revolves around two resources: “Wind Energy” and “Storm Eyes”:

Wind Energy Gain: For every 30 Energy consumed by the team, Roxie gains 1 [Wind Energy], up to 3;

Storm Eye Creation: [EX Special Attack: Storm Cannon] creates a [Storm Eye] on the field for 30 seconds;

Storm Eye Detonation: Holding Basic Attack casts [Basic Attack: Cyclone Hammer], detonating a Storm Eye to create a tracking cyclone. All Storm Eyes on the field can be detonated at the same time;

DEF Conversion Mechanic

Roxie can convert DEF into ATK and Impact. When her initial DEF exceeds 1,500, every point of DEF above that threshold converts into 1.4 points of Impact or ATK. This allows her to gain extra damage while building Stun stats, so she is more than just a pure Stun support.

Core Skill Breakdown

EX Special Attack: Wind Rider: Hold to release and create a controllable cyclone. Hold and drag the joystick to manually control its direction and path. It continuously consumes Energy and deals Wind DMG to enemies along its route

EX Special Attack: Storm Cannon: Consumes all Wind Energy to fire a wind cannon forward. It also consumes 1 Storm Eye to deal additional Wind DMG and creates 1 new Storm Eye at the current position

Chain Attack: Storm Rampage: Launches a devastating strike across a large area in front of her. Roxie is invulnerable during the attack

Team-Building Potential

Roxie has been described as a Stun character who is “at least not highly specialized,” meaning she is not locked into a specific system like some characters and offers considerable team-building flexibility:

She can serve as a Wind Stun unit and synergize with existing Wind Anomaly or Support characters, such as Rina;

She can provide the entire team with increased damage against Dazed enemies and CRIT Rate buffs, giving her some team-support capability;

Her signature W-Engine has strong numbers, but her kit works without relying on it;

New Main Story Area and Plot: Vyrium and the Flint Workshop

The main story of Version 3.2 moves to Vyrium, an offshore island of Roskalypha and the location of the Flint Workshop. The plot centers on the disappearance of Perth Alloy from the Flint Workshop. Clawre and Roxie follow the clues and investigate a secret laboratory closely connected to Helios Academy.
