As seen in previous updates, the buffs introduced in Version 1.5’s Shiyu Defense are poised to significantly empower the newest characters within Zenless Zone Zero. Astra Yao is designed to capitalize on Assists and Chain Attacks, meaning she will likely reap substantial benefits from the buffs in Shiyu Defense.

Players can expect the Version 1.5 update to roll out on January 22, with Astra Yao appearing early in the update and Evelyn later on.
With Version 1.5, Zenless Zone Zero aims to build on the momentum generated by one of its largest updates since launch.
