Banner & Event Schedule — Phase 1 Highlights
Banner Table: Dialyn Debut and Featured Units
| Phase | Dates (UTC-5) | Main 5★ | Other Characters |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2025-11-25 to 2025-12-17 | Dialyn (new), Hugo (rerun) | Billy, Corin |
| 2 | Expected late December | Ellen (rerun), Banyue (debut) | [Phase 2 units TBA] |
- Dialyn arrives with the launch of 2.4 and is the centerpiece of Phase 1 banners.
- Hugo returns for a rerun, ideal for Ice-Attack teams.
- Billy (Physical-Attack) and Corin (Physical-Attack) round out the rate-ups.
Visual Suggestion:
– Banner artwork highlighting Dialyn and Hugo, with visually separated start and end dates (provide alt text: “Zenless Zone Zero 2.4 Phase 1 banner showcasing Dialyn’s gacha debut next to Hugo and supporting units. Useful for players planning pulls.”)
Phase 2 Details: Currently, Phase 2 is slated to bring Banyue (Krampus Compliance Authority) and a rerun for Ellen. Full lineups and rate specifics not yet stated in official materials.
Mechanics: Should You Pull for Dialyn?
Dialyn’s banner offers several considerations for F2P and budget-minded players:
- Banner overlaps with a strong Hugo rerun. If your Ice team is already well-developed, weigh Dialyn’s unique kit and newness against upcoming known reruns.
- Krampus Compliance debut: Pulling here increases your access to new mechanics and synergy with later-releasing units (ex: Banyue in Phase 2).
- Pity and rates: Standard ZZZ gacha mechanics apply (90 pulls for soft pity/guarantee; 50/50 system for rate-up 5★). Plan Polychrome/Film spending accordingly. [See EarlyGG’s currency-saving guides for best practice.]
- Competing priorities: If your roster is complete outside of Dialyn, early adoption can future-proof teams, but consider holding for upcoming (unannounced) banners if you’re low on pulls.
Teams & Synergies
- Dialyn is expected to boost compositions leveraging the new Krampus Compliance Authority synergies. Strong candidates for her optimal team include Hugo (Ice-Attack) or flexible Physical units such as Billy and Corin.
- F2P alternatives: Billy and Corin both appear as rate-ups, offering strong, accessible options alongside Dialyn for resource-efficient team building.
- Phase 2 anticipation: Banyue will further enhance Krampus Authority possibilities. Consider stalling high-investment builds until her kit is confirmed.
