Zenless Zone Zero Banners: 3.0 Schedule & Should You Pull?

Zenless Zone Zero Banners: Your Pull Plan for 3.0 and Beyond

If you're trying to decide where to spend your Polychromes in Zenless Zone Zero, the banner schedule is your most important tool. HoYoverse rotates limited-time event banners every few weeks, and with Version 3.0 on the horizon, the next few phases are packed with high-value Agents. Whether you're a day-one Proxy or just returning, knowing what's live now and what's coming next can save you from a costly 50/50 loss.

This guide breaks down the current, next, and 3.0 banners, plus the standard pool and pity system. For more ongoing coverage, bookmark our Zenless Zone Zero news hub.

At a Glance

• Current banners (until 2026-05-27): Promeia (Ice, Anomaly) and Lucia (Ether, Support).
• Next banners (2026-05-27 to 2026-06-16): Starlight Billy (Physical, Rupture) and Orphie & Magus (Fire, Attack).
• 3.0 banners (from 2026-06-16): Velina (Wind, Anomaly) and Norma (Fire, Stun).
• Standard banner: Star-Studded Cast with six permanent S-Ranks.
• Pity: Guaranteed A-Rank every 10 pulls; guaranteed S-Rank every 90 pulls; 50/50 on event banners.

Current Zenless Zone Zero Banners

The current phase runs from 2026-05-06 to 2026-05-27 and features two limited S-Rank Agents:

• Promeia (Ice, Anomaly) on Cold Rain Wanes in the Night
• Lucia (Ether, Support) on Wandering Night Lantern

Both banners boost pull rates for A-Rank characters Soukaku (Ice, Support) and Lucy (Fire, Support). Their signature W-Engines are also available: Frostfall Sickle (Anomaly) for Promeia and Dreamlit Hearth (Support) for Lucia.

If you're building an Ice or Ether team, this is a strong window. Promeia offers a rare Ice Anomaly option, while Lucia provides Ether support that can slot into several comps. For team-building ideas, see our Orphie team guide for synergy principles that apply across agents.

Next Zenless Zone Zero Banners

The next phase is scheduled for 2026-05-27 to 2026-06-16:

• Starlight Billy (Physical, Rupture) on Starlight, Shine Bright
• Orphie & Magus (Fire, Attack) on Wrathborn Duo

A-Rank boosted characters are Pan Yinhu (Physical, Defense) and Manato (Fire, Rupture). Their signature W-Engines, Tremor Trigram Vessel (Defense) and Grill O'Wisp (Rupture), also get rate-ups.

The S-Rank W-Engines for this phase are Starlight Rider Faceplate (Rupture) for Starlight Billy and Bellicose Blaze (Attack) for Orphie & Magus.

Starlight Billy introduces a new Physical Rupture playstyle, while Orphie & Magus bring Fire Attack damage. If you missed Orphie on her debut, this is your rerun chance. For a deeper look at her kit, check our Orphie team guide.

Zenless Zone Zero 3.0 Banners

Version 3.0 is expected to launch on 2026-06-16, based on the end date of the 2.8 banners. The headline debuts are:

• Velina (Wind, Anomaly) — a new S-Rank Wind Anomaly Agent.
• Norma (Fire, Stun) — a new S-Rank Fire Stun Agent.

A new A-Rank, Pyrois (Ether, Attack), may also arrive, though this is Unconfirmed — subject to change. The information comes from the official Zenless Zone Zero X account, which revealed all three characters.

Velina's Wind Anomaly kit could open up new team archetypes, while Norma adds a fresh Fire Stun option. For full details on the 3.0 update, including the new region Roscaelifer, see our ZZZ 3.0 release date and Velina banner details.

Should You Pull?

Pull if…

• You need a strong Ice Anomaly or Ether Support (current banners).
• You want a Physical Rupture or Fire Attack DPS (next banners).
• You're chasing the new meta with Velina or Norma (3.0).

Skip if…

• You're saving for a guaranteed 3.0 S-Rank and have fewer than 180 pulls.
• You already have solid Ice, Ether, Physical, or Fire coverage.

Save for…

• Velina if you enjoy Anomaly teams and want a new Wind option.
• Norma if you need a dedicated Fire Stun unit for chain attacks.

For F2P players, the golden rule is to prioritize limited event banners over the standard banner. With a 50/50 system, you need up to 180 pulls to guarantee a featured character. If you're at low pity, consider waiting for 3.0.

Standard Banner and Drop Rates

The permanent Star-Studded Cast banner (Stable Channel) includes these S-Rank Agents:

• Grace
• Koleda
• Lycaon
• Nekomata
• Rina
• Soldier 11

New players get a 20% discount on the first five ten-pulls and a guaranteed S-Rank within the first 50 Signal Searches. After that, standard rates apply.

All banners share the same base rates: guaranteed A-Rank or higher every 10 pulls, and a guaranteed S-Rank every 90 pulls. On event banners, the first S-Rank has a 50% chance to be the featured character; if you lose, the next S-Rank is guaranteed to be the featured one.

Events and Rewards

Version 3.1 will bring the Summer Waves Roll In event, though details are still Unconfirmed — subject to change. Expect seasonal stories and limited-time rewards. For now, focus on clearing current events to stockpile Polychromes before 3.0. Our ZZZ 3.1 Summer Waves event details will update as HoYoverse confirms more.

Teams and Synergies

• Promeia pairs well with other Ice Anomaly units to trigger Freeze and Shatter.
• Lucia fits into Ether teams needing sustain and buffs.
• Starlight Billy enables Physical Rupture comps, potentially with Pan Yinhu for defense.
• Orphie & Magus thrive in Fire Attack teams with Manato as a rupture enabler.
• Velina may define Wind Anomaly teams, while Norma can anchor Fire Stun compositions.

Conclusion

The Zenless Zone Zero banner schedule is heating up. With Promeia and Lucia available now, Starlight Billy and Orphie & Magus next, and Velina and Norma in 3.0, there's no shortage of options. Plan your pity, watch for official announcements, and may your 50/50s be kind.
