ZZZ 2.7 Banners: New Agents and Should You Pull?

Version 2.7 features two new S-Rank Agents across its two phases. Their signature W-Engines are available on the accompanying weapon banner. No new S-Rank Bangboo debuts this update.

Phase	Agent	Attribute	Specialty
Phase 1	Nangong Yu	Ether	Stun
Phase 2	Cissia	Fire	Anomaly

Should You Pull?

• Nangong Yu fills a niche as an Ether Stun unit, offering utility for teams that lack a dedicated breaker in that element. If you already run Qingyi or Lycaon, her value depends on your roster depth and whether you need Ether coverage for specific endgame modes.
• Cissia brings Fire Anomaly, a role currently dominated by Burnice and Grace. Her kit may appeal if you enjoy anomaly-centric compositions, but with Miyabi and other top-tier DPS options available, F2P players should weigh whether a new Anomaly unit fits their existing teams.

Story: Hollow Champion Tournament and Simmer Hot Pot

ZZZ 2.7's narrative moves past Gilded Carrot Day and into the Hollow Champion competition hosted by TOPS. With one billion Dennies and an ultra-rare Porcelloy W-Engine on the line, the Rusty Cliff Corp has attracted factions from across New Eridu.

The Metropolitan Order Division of PubSec enters the fray, with undercover agent Cissia investigating reports of "faded" Ethereals—a variant said to produce no Ether activity. The Calydon Sweepers and the infamous Black Wolf Romeul are also rumored to participate.

Meanwhile, the Simmer Hot Pot Restaurant in Lumina Square faces a review-bombing crisis. Owner Blaze enlists Phaethon's help to restore its reputation, possibly through a new hot pot dish. This side story adds a lighter tone to the tournament arc.

ZZZ 2.7 Events and Rewards

The update brings a variety of limited-time events. Some are announced by name only, so check in-game for exact rewards and schedules.

• All-New Program
• "En-Nah" Into Your Lap
• Chronicle of Simmering Flavors
• Special Disaster Control Squad
• Old Friends, New Commissions
• Adventure Footage Freeze Frame
• Charge! Battle Against the Negative Reviews
• Battle Trial: Tidal Wave
• Data Bounty: Combation Situation
• Advanced Bounty: Area Patrol

These events offer Polychromes, upgrade materials, and other resources. Prioritize those that align with your current progression goals—whether you need Dennies, character EXP, or drive discs.

Pre-Patch To-Dos and Day-1 Priorities

Before 2.7 ends, make sure you've completed any remaining 2.6 content, especially limited-time events and story commissions. Spend your battery on farming materials for any new agents you plan to pull.

On day one of 2.7, check your mailbox for maintenance compensation, then dive into the new story to unlock events. If you're pulling for Nangong Yu or Cissia, their ascension materials may require farming new enemies or bosses—consult the in-game guide.

Conclusion

ZZZ 2.7 sets the stage for Season 3 with a tournament arc, two new S-Rank Agents, and a healthy event lineup. Whether you're a meta-chaser or a story enthusiast, there's plenty to do before the patch wraps in early May. For more on what's next, see our coverage of ZZZ 2.8 banners and leaks.
