Zenless Zone Zero 3.3 banners bring Phoenix and Severian. Get the latest on phases, timing, and pull advice for the next ZZZ update.
ZZZ 3.3 Banners: Phoenix and Severian Lead the Next Update
Zenless Zone Zero players have a new banner cycle to plan for. According to a recent post on the LDShop blog, Version 3.3 will introduce Phoenix and Severian as the headline characters, with a banner schedule that appears to follow HoYoverse’s standard two-phase structure. While full kit details and exact dates remain under wraps, the early signal is enough to start mapping your Polychrome budget.
This news lands as the community is still digesting the Version 2.3 rollout, which brought Lucia, Yidhari, and the Timesworn Hills story content. For a refresher on that patch’s banner timing and meta impact, see our Zenless Zone Zero 2.3 Banners guide. The shift to 3.3 suggests HoYoverse is accelerating its character release cadence, and players who skipped recent reruns may need to make tough choices.

Banner Schedule and Rates
HoYoverse has not yet published a full banner schedule for Version 3.3. Based on the LDShop blog post, Phoenix and Severian are the two new characters expected to debut. Their element, path, and combat role have not been officially detailed.
A typical ZZZ banner cycle runs for three weeks per phase, with the first phase launching on patch day and the second phase beginning three weeks later. Without official confirmation, we cannot provide exact start and end dates. The table below reflects the expected structure, but all entries are Unconfirmed — subject to change.
| Phase | Character(s) | Expected Start | Expected End |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Phoenix (likely) | Patch launch (TBD) | +21 days |
| Phase 2 | Severian (likely) | +21 days | +42 days |
Rates for ZZZ banners remain consistent: 0.6% base rate for S-Rank Agents, with a 90-pull hard pity and a 50/50 chance to get the featured character on the first S-Rank. If you lose the 50/50, the next S-Rank is guaranteed to be the featured Agent. This system has not changed since launch.
Should You Pull?
With two new characters on the horizon, the decision hinges on your current roster and how much you value novelty versus proven performance. Phoenix and Severian have no official gameplay showcases yet, so any pull recommendation is speculative.
- F2P players: If you are still building toward a pity on a limited banner, consider waiting until the 3.3 livestream reveals kits and team synergies. Spending now on a rerun could leave you short when 3.3 arrives.
- Low-spend players: The monthly Inter-Knot Membership and Battle Pass provide steady Polychrome income. If you can clear current endgame content comfortably, saving for 3.3 is a low-risk move.
- Optimal spenders: If you already have a deep roster, pulling for collection value or future-proofing is reasonable, but only after confirming that Phoenix or Severian fills a gap in your teams.

Events and Rewards
Version 3.3 event details are not yet available. Historically, each ZZZ patch includes a main story chapter, at least one flagship combat event, and several smaller login or resource events. These typically award Polychromes, Dennies, and upgrade materials.
No livestream codes have been announced for 3.3. When they do appear, they are usually shared during the official preview stream and expire within 24 hours. We will update this section as soon as HoYoverse releases official information.
Teams and Synergies
Without official kit details, team-building advice for Phoenix and Severian is purely theoretical. Based on naming conventions and past ZZZ releases, we can speculate on possible roles, but these are Unconfirmed — subject to change.
- Phoenix: The name suggests a fire or rebirth theme, potentially aligning with Fire or Ether attributes. Could be an Attack or Anomaly specialist.
- Severian: The name evokes a stern, authoritative figure, possibly a Defense or Stun unit with Ice or Physical attributes.
Once official gameplay is revealed, we will publish dedicated build guides. In the meantime, our ZZZ 2.3 character analysis offers a template for how new units typically slot into existing teams.
Conclusion
Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.3 is shaping up to be another significant update with Phoenix and Severian leading the charge. While concrete details are still scarce, the pattern of recent patches suggests a livestream will arrive roughly one week before launch. Keep an eye on official channels and our ZZZ guides hub for the latest. For now, the smart play is to save your Polychromes and wait for confirmed kits before committing.
