Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5 Update: Leaked Banner Characters Revealed
New leaks for Zenless Zone Zero reveal the exciting character lineup for the upcoming Version 1.5 update, including the game's first character reruns. This HoYoverse title is known for its impactful character releases, frequently altering the game's meta. Version 1.4 saw Miyabi's powerful debut, solidifying her place as a top DPS, while veterans like Qingyi and Caesar remain essential. Version 1.5 promises more exciting additions.
HoYoverse has already confirmed Astra Yao, the inaugural member of the "Stars of Lyra" faction, and Evelyn, both debuting in Version 1.5. Previous leaks strongly suggested Ellen's return as a rerun, marking the comeback of the game's initial limited character. Now, further leaks detail additional reruns and boosted A-Rank characters.
A recent leak from a trusted source details the Version 1.5 banner schedule:
Phase 1:
- Astra Yao: S-Rank Ether Support
- Ellen: S-Rank Ice Attack
- Piper: A-Rank Physical Anomaly
- Anby: A-Rank Electric Stun
Phase 2:
- Evelyn: S-Rank Fire Attack
- Zhu Yuan: S-Rank Ether Attack
- Seth: A-Rank Electric Defense
- Ben: A-Rank Fire Defense
These reruns coincide with anticipated new content for early characters. A separate leak hints at a new Agent Story for Ellen, one of several five-star characters initially lacking a dedicated story. The update is also rumored to introduce the game's first character skin for Nicole. Version 1.5 officially launches January 22nd.
The return of Ellen and Zhu Yuan is highly anticipated. While Ellen's power may have lessened, she remains a valuable DPS for Ice teams, particularly alongside Lycaon and Soukaku. Zhu Yuan continues to be a top-tier Ether character, consistently delivering high damage and featuring prominently in the game's narrative. Version 1.5 promises a compelling update for Zenless Zone Zero players.
