Zenless Zone Zero 2.4: Banners, Events & Day-One Player Road

Zenless Zone Zero is set for a significant update with Version 2.4 "On the Precipice of the Abyss", going live on 2025-11-26 06:00 (UTC+8). Scheduled maintenance promises five hours of downtime, but for most committed players, the central focus lands squarely on the twin S-Rank Agent debuts—each bringing new meta considerations—and a dense roadmap of rewards, progression tweaks, and content expansions. For any Proxy looking to optimize pulls, currencies, or time, the planning window starts now.

The 2.4 patch represents a pivotal moment for both F2P and veterans—whether you’re recalibrating pity for competitive banners or tackling high-end PvE. Here’s how EarlyGG breaks down every impactful change, key banner, and priority task.

Signal Search banners grant S-Rank units on a hard/soft pity (not specified in official materials for this patch; refer to usual EarlyGG pull rate explanations).

Pull Guidance: Should You Target Dialyn or Banyue?

Dialyn represents a meta shift for high-damage stun comps. Her kit—upgrading Chain Attack windows directly into Ultimates—favors coordinated teams, with significant Stun DMG multiplier increases. Maximizing value means pairing with other high-daze or chain-synergy agents (e.g., Nicole, Koleda in the current meta). Yesterday Calls (her weapon) further enhances this role, but early theorycrafting suggests she’s still viable on standard engines for F2P/low-spend.

Banyue delivers an aggressive, combo-driven DPS with Fire/Rupture alignment, ideal for diverse elemental and reaction teams. With the new Wrathful Vajra and variations on basic/EX attack rotations, she slots into flexible squads and builds. Both are banner-only at launch; rerun timing is not stated in official materials.

Optimal F2P Approach:
– Pre-farm Stun/Fire team resources and standard upgrade mats (direct synergy not listed—see EarlyGG [guide hub]).
– Save Polychrome/Master Tape for highest priority unit; consider skipping if you’re targeting reruns or upcoming banners, as no major rerun units have been announced.
– Complete login events for meaningful 10-pull increments, maximizing cumulative pity.

Pity/Reruns:
– Base S-Rank pity and soft pity thresholds not altered this patch (not stated otherwise).
– Standard, Limited, and Weapon Signal Search rules apply per current in-game rate info.

New Agents, Engines, Bangboo: Progression & Synergy

S-Rank Debuts

Dialyn (Physical – Stun): Chain Attack specialist, ultimate upgrade enabler; best in coordinated stun setups.
Banyue (Fire – Rupture): Versatile fire DPS for reaction and combo playstyles.
**Both have corresponding S-Rank W-Engines—Yesterday Calls (Stun) and Wrathful Vajra (Rupture).

Bangboo Additions

Birkblick (S-Rank): Banner only.
Bild N. Boolok (A-Rank): Limited to the “En-Nah Chess Saga” event.

Permanent Recruit Pool Upgrades

Komano Manato (A, Fire – Rupture) and Grill O'Wisp (W-Engine): Star-Studded Cast and search pool additions. Useful for F2P strategic pulls outside limited banners.

Day-One Priorities: Where to Start

Claim Polychrome compensation ASAP post-patch—mail expires after 30 days.
Begin season events (All-New Program, Neo Golden Mecha, Simulated Showdown) as soon as eligibility allows.
Pull strategically: Identify target in banner phase (Dialyn, Banyue or Bangboo), optimize based on currency and team needs.
Check limited event areas: Some exploration is transient (e.g., Fallen Mecha Stronghold, closes with Neo Golden Mecha event).

Conclusion: What to Watch and Next Steps

With Version 2.4, Zenless Zone Zero doubles down on both headline banners and event depth, rewarding preparation and active engagement across nearly every system. The dual S-Rank Agent debuts and a robust calendar mean big decisions for currency, pulls, and long-term roster planning—especially with several new agents and Bangboo accessible only via event or limited banners.

For full upgrade path breakdowns, advanced team synergies, and post-launch meta shifts, see EarlyGG’s Zenless Zone Zero guides and tier lists. As always, plan your priorities early and watch event timers closely—resource efficiency is king in the gacha endgame.
