ZZZ 2.8 New Characters

Promeia

Rarity: S-Rank
Attribute: Ice
Specialty: Anomaly

Promeia first appeared in Season 2 Interlude: Encore for an Old Dream as a judge of the Krampus Compliance Authority. Her design features short indigo-blue hair and a striking purple eye, fitting her cold and composed demeanor.

Her new Drive Disc set, "Notes From the Chained," strongly suggests an Ice Anomaly kit centered on Abloom and Freeze. Unlike traditional Freeze units that focus on crowd control, Promeia appears to convert Freeze application into direct boosts to Anomaly and Disorder damage. This positions her as either an on-field carry or a quick-swap DPS who synergizes with other Anomaly agents.

Billy SP

Rarity: S-Rank
Attribute: Physical
Specialty: Rupture

Billy SP (often referred to as Starlight Billy) was hinted at in Version 2.6's story, specifically in a post about the "Hollow Hero Tournament" featuring a silhouette resembling a Starlight Knight. He will become playable in Version 2.8. Further kit details are not stated in official materials.

ZZZ 2.8 Rerun Characters

Lucia

Rarity: S-Rank
Attribute: Ether
Specialty: Support

Lucia is predicted to rerun in Phase 1 alongside Promeia. She functions as a Dream-based support, increasing team Max HP through the Veil mechanic and providing penetration. She also grants flat damage and crit damage bonuses via Harmonies and Veil effects, and contributes off-field damage through Aftershocks. Lucia is especially effective in rupture teams that rely on stable uptime and HP-scaling amplification.

Her performance depends on timing and resource management. Maintaining her Dream state extends Ether Veil: Wellspring, improving survivability and damage buffs. She serves as both a strong buffer and a dependable secondary damage source.

Unknown Rerun

The Phase 2 rerun character is currently unknown. Not stated in official materials.

Future New Character: Severian Lowell

According to leaks, Severian Lowell is expected to join the banner lineup in the near future. He was first referenced by Seth during Undercover R&B and later appeared in Season 2 Interlude: Encore for an Old Dream. Severian is a Senior Commissioner at the New Eridu Public Security HQ, Seth's older brother, and Cissia's superior officer.

Unconfirmed — subject to change.

Should You Pull?

Pull for Promeia if:

• You need a strong Ice Anomaly DPS to pair with Nangong Yu (Version 2.7) for an Ice Anomaly Stun team.
• You already have Miyabi and want a potential direct upgrade.
• You enjoy Freeze-based playstyles and want to capitalize on Disorder damage.

Pull for Billy SP if:

• You prefer Physical Rupture units and want to diversify your roster.
• You're a fan of Billy's character and want his upgraded version.

Skip if:

• You're saving for Version 3.0 or other upcoming characters.
• Your current teams already clear endgame content comfortably.

Save for:

• Future characters like Severian Lowell (leaked) or other 3.0 debuts.

Events & Rewards

Version 2.8 will likely include the usual suite of limited-time events and login bonuses. Specific event details are not stated in official materials. Keep an eye on official channels for announcements.

LDShop Spring Sale Promo Code

For Proxies looking to top up, LDShop is offering a Spring Sale promo code: LDAPR. This code provides up to 30% OFF on top-ups, including a deal for 6480 + 1600 Monochromes for just US$70. The code can be used unlimited times within the same month. The previous code is still available.

Note: This is a promotional offer from LDShop, not an official HoYoverse promotion. Always ensure you use trusted sources for top-ups.

Teams & Synergies

Promeia Team Ideas

• Promeia + Nangong Yu + Support/Stun: Nangong Yu (Ice Anomaly) can help trigger Freeze and Disorder, while a support like Lucia or Soukaku amplifies damage.
• Promeia + Miyabi + Support: If Promeia is an upgrade to Miyabi, running both may be redundant, but could work in dual-DPS setups.

Billy SP Team Ideas

• Billy SP + Rupture Support + Stun: Pair with units that enhance Physical damage or Rupture mechanics. Specific synergies are not stated in official materials.

Lucia Team Ideas

• Lucia + Rupture DPS + Support: Lucia's HP-scaling buffs and penetration make her ideal for rupture teams that rely on sustained damage.

Conclusion

Version 2.8 is shaping up to be a pivotal update for Zenless Zone Zero, closing out the 2.x era with two new S-Rank Agents and a valuable rerun. Whether you're pulling for Promeia's Ice Anomaly potential or Billy SP's Physical Rupture style, plan your Polychromes wisely. And if you're topping up, don't forget the LDShop code LDAPR for savings.
