A new update for Zenless Zone Zero is one the horizon with ZZZ 1.2 – and you better get ready for a wild ride, because we’re visiting the rough outskirts of New Eridu. This area, called Outer Ring, is home to the Sons of Calydon, a logistics company that feels like a motorized gang.

Both new characters on the ZZZ 1.2 banners hail from this faction with Caesar King and Burnice White complementing their previous roster consisting of Piper and Lucy. “Sons” of Calydon does feel like a bit of a misnomer, huh?

Here’s everything you need to know about the Zenless Zone Zero 1.2 character and W-Engine banners.

ZZZ 1.2 banners: Phase 1

Starting on September 25, 2024, with version 1.2’s release, you’ll be able to call upon the following characters:

Caesar (S-Rank, Physical, Defense) and two A-Rank Agents.
Tusks of Fury (S-Rank, Defense) and two A-Rank W-Engines.
Red Moccus will be a new S-Rank Bangboo available on the Bangboo banner.

Caesar

HoYoverse

Caesar King leads the Sons of Calydon and is a fearless frontline fighter with the ability to shield herself and parry enemy attacks, dealing devastating counter damage and increasing the hurt of enemies from all sources – she’s a hybrid character helping with defense, stunning, and debuffs.

ZZZ 1.2 banners: Phase 2

Phase 2 will begin on October 16, 2024, and run for three weeks from that point on. You’ll be able to get the following characters in this time period:

Burnice (S-Rank, Fire, Anomaly) and two A-Rank Agents.
Flamemaker Shaker (S-Rank, Anomaly) and two A-Rank W-Engines.

Burnice

HoYoverse

Burnice is all applying Burn to enemies and transforming them into little piles of crispy ashes. Similar to Jane Doe or Piper, she comes with a variety of mechanisms to strengthen her own Anomaly Buildup Rate and the damage dealt through triggering Anomalies.
