Recent whispers from the Zenless Zone Zero community suggest some exciting news for players eagerly awaiting the Version 1.6 update. Speculation has it that two formidable S-Rank characters, Burnice and Zhu Yuan, are slated for a comeback on the game’s limited gacha banner.
Burnice has long been hailed as one of the most potent characters in the game, while Zhu Yuan is known for his crucial role as an attack unit. With each update, Zenless Zone Zero breathes new life into its urban action RPG by introducing fresh characters, and Version 1.5 was no different. It brought back fan favorites like Ellen and Qingyi, who featured prominently in the re-run banners. So, it’s no surprise that anticipation is building for what’s coming next.
Ahead of its official announcement, users have been treated to a sneak peek at what Version 1.6 will have to offer. The anticipation doesn’t stop just at character re-runs; the update promises some new faces, too. Silver Soldier Anby and Trigger join the ranks as new S-Rank units, with Pulchra making her debut as an A-Rank unit. Word on the street is that players might even snag Pulchra for free through one of the special events featured in this update.
But let’s circle back to those re-run banners. The reliable HoYoverse insider, leifa, hints at the re-entry of Burnice and Zhu Yuan. Burnice would grace the first half of Version 1.6 alongside Silver Soldier Anby, and Zhu Yuan is expected to pair up with Trigger in the latter half. However, as with all leaks, it’s wise to remain a little skeptical as plans can always change.
Breaking it down, the first half showcases Silver Soldier Anby, an S-Rank Electric Attack powerhouse, and Burnice, an S-Rank Fire Anomaly character. Moving into the second half, Trigger steps in as an S-Rank Electric Stun character, joining forces with Zhu Yuan, an S-Rank Ether Attack master. These heroes aren’t just top-tier picks—they offer strategic depth to many team configurations. Burnice stands out as a premier Anomaly character, making her a mainstay DPS option. She pairs exceptionally with other Anomaly types, such as Miyabi. Meanwhile, Zhu Yuan excels within the Ether Attribute, perfectly complementing supporting characters like Nicole and Astra Yao.
Beyond just new characters, Version 1.6 is poised to deliver an avalanche of content. Players can look forward to facing off against two newly introduced bosses—Thanatos and Hugo Vlad—and unraveling more of the game’s evolving narrative. Plus, upcoming Drive Disc sets promise boosts specifically geared toward Additional Attack characters and those mastering Anomalies. All in all, these fresh features are set to equip players with an array of powerful options to enhance their gameplay.
