The ZZZ 3.2 banners bring two new S-Rank Agents and two returning S-Rank Agents across Version 3.2, Their Secret Histories. HoYoverse has confirmed the order: Claret and Nangong Yu lead the first half, followed by Roxy and Promeia in the second half. This guide separates confirmed dates and kits from projections, then explains what each banner means for different accounts.
Quick answer: Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.2 launches on September 9, 2026. Phase 1 features new S-Rank Electric Armorer Agent Claret plus a Nangong Yu rerun; Phase 2 features new S-Rank Wind Stun Agent Roxy plus a Promeia rerun. HoYoverse confirms that order but has not published the Phase 2 calendar date in its retrievable global announcement, so September 30 should remain a projection until the in-game Signal Search notice confirms it.
What is the confirmed Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.2 banner schedule?
HoYoverse's Version 3.2 announcement confirms four featured S-Rank Agents split into two halves. It also confirms that the two returning Agents arrive with their Exclusive W-Engines. The global announcement does not provide the individual channel end times or the second-half switch date.
| Version 3.2 period | Featured new Agent | Featured rerun | Confirmed timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| First half | Claret, S-Rank Electric Armorer | Nangong Yu | Begins with Version 3.2 on September 9, 2026 |
| Second half | Roxy, S-Rank Wind Stun | Promeia | Second half of Version 3.2; exact global date not stated in the announcement |
HoYoverse's announcement is explicit: Version 3.2 “will officially launch on September 9.” It also states that Claret debuts in the first half while Roxy appears in the second. For the reruns, Nangong Yu returns in the first half and Promeia in the second.
That wording matters. Several banner calendars currently list September 30 for Phase 2, which fits a three-week first-half schedule, but a projected date is not the same as a published Signal Search deadline. Treat September 30 as likely, not locked, until HoYoverse posts the channel details in-game or on an official notice.
When does the ZZZ 3.2 update release?
Version 3.2 releases on September 9, 2026, across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox Cloud Gaming, Xbox PC, standard PC, iOS, Android, and Steam. The official title is Their Secret Histories.
The official Zenless Zone Zero homepage still identifies Version 3.1, The Long Goodbye, as live on September 8. If you have unfinished limited tasks, complete and claim them before the update maintenance instead of assuming they remain available after the version changes.
Who is Claret on the first ZZZ 3.2 banner?
Claret is the first limited Agent of Version 3.2 and the first playable member of the new Armorer Specialty. HoYoverse identifies her as the head of Flint Workshop and an S-Rank Electric Agent.
Armorer is not simply another Attack label. HoYoverse describes the Specialty as balancing offense and defense and introduces two named mechanics: Maim and multi-CRIT. Claret's preview kit uses the following loop:
- Her attacks accumulate Gash on enemies.
- A fully stacked target receives Gash.
- Specific skills trigger Maim against that target.
- Maim deals additional damage and grants a Laceration damage boost.
- Her skills use DEF as their base damage multiplier.
Claret also has an unusual CRIT interaction. Once her CRIT Rate exceeds 100%, the excess portion contributes to multi-CRIT, calculated with Laceration damage in place of normal CRIT DMG. Her initial CRIT DMG is also converted into initial CRIT Rate at a stated ratio, although the global preview does not publish that ratio.
Those facts tell you what stats her design values: DEF, CRIT Rate, and CRIT DMG. They do not yet establish a final best build, exact team ranking, or damage ceiling. Those conclusions require the live kit values, available Drive Disc combinations, enemy matchups, and repeatable endgame testing after September 9.
Should you pull Claret?
Claret is the most interesting Phase 1 pull if you want to build around the new Armorer system or specifically need an Electric damage option. Her DEF scaling may also appeal to players who prefer a unit whose offensive setup is tied to a defensive stat.
Pull cautiously if your account already has unfinished premium damage teams. A new Specialty often needs more than one character release before every account can field its best possible composition. Claret is confirmed to have a complete personal mechanic, but pre-release material cannot prove that she is universally stronger than established Agents.
Use the current ZZZ tier list for September 2026 to identify the roles your roster already covers. The tier list intentionally leaves Version 3.2 arrivals unranked until live testing produces reliable comparisons.
Who is Nangong Yu on the first-half rerun?
Nangong Yu is the returning S-Rank Agent paired with Claret in the first half. Her rerun gives players who skipped her original channel another chance to add an established Stun option rather than betting entirely on a new Specialty.
The strongest reason to consider a rerun is roster fit. If Nangong Yu completes a team you can build immediately, that may produce more account value than a new Agent whose ideal partners or resource demands are still unsettled. The community's most common banner question is not “Who is strongest in a vacuum?” but “Who actually works with the Agents I own?”
Before pulling, list your two intended endgame teams. For each one, mark the damage core, Stun or setup role, Support or defensive role, and whether the important W-Engines and Drive Discs are already available. Pulling the missing role is usually safer than collecting another Agent for a role you have already finished.
HoYoverse confirms that Nangong Yu's Exclusive W-Engine also returns in the first half. That does not automatically make the W-Engine channel the better use of limited pulls. A new Agent can open a team; a signature W-Engine usually improves one Agent. Account breadth should come first unless your two-team roster is already complete.
Who is Roxy on the second ZZZ 3.2 banner?
Roxy is a new S-Rank Wind Stun Agent and the chief smith of Flint Workshop. Her official preview centers on Eyes of the Storm and persistent tornadoes.
Holding Roxy's EX Special Attack creates a tornado and forms an Eye of the Storm. She can gather and detonate Eyes of the Storm to create one massive tornado. Her Ultimate generates multiple tornadoes before delivering a large-area strike against enemies in front of her.
That preview establishes her role and core visual mechanic, but it does not establish her final stun speed, field-time demands, best teams, or whether she replaces every existing Stun Agent. Avoid pre-release claims that call her mandatory. The right question is whether your preferred damage dealer benefits from Roxy's actual live rotation more than from the Stun options already on your account.
Should you save for Roxy instead of pulling in Phase 1?
Save for Roxy if your account clearly lacks a premium Stun unit, you want a Wind Agent, or her tornado-based setup fits the team you intend to play. Waiting also gives you an information advantage: by the time the second half arrives, Claret will have live testing, real team data, and endgame footage rather than preview-only theory.
The tradeoff is that Roxy's exact second-half date and channel deadline still need an official notice. Do not spend down to zero based on an unofficial calendar. Keep enough resources to absorb schedule uncertainty and decide after HoYoverse publishes the live channel details.
Who is Promeia on the second-half rerun?
Promeia is the returning S-Rank Agent paired with Roxy in the second half. HoYoverse confirms that Promeia and her Exclusive W-Engine return during that half, but the global Version 3.2 announcement does not publish the channel's calendar date.
For an existing Promeia team, a rerun can be more predictable than a new release because her current rotations, partners, and investment demands are already known. For a new account, however, do not evaluate her alone. Check whether you own or can reasonably build the teammates that make the team function.
This is also where the “pull who you like” advice needs one extra sentence. Enjoyment is a valid reason to pull, but the cost is easier to accept when you know what the completed team requires. Decide whether the Agent is a favorite, a missing role, or an upgrade. If the answer is only “upgrade,” wait for live comparisons rather than pulling on launch-day excitement.
What should free-to-play players do before the banners start?
A free-to-play plan should preserve options until the facts improve. Use this order:
- Set a primary target. Choose Claret, Nangong Yu, Roxy, or Promeia based on roster need and preference.
- Choose one fallback. If the first target arrives early, know whether you stop or continue saving.
- Do not budget unannounced rewards. Count only resources already in your inventory or explicitly confirmed by HoYoverse.
- Wait for live testing when uncertain. New Agent channels last long enough for serious testing to appear; there is no gameplay advantage to pulling in the first minute.
- Keep W-Engines secondary. Secure the Agent or missing team role before optimizing a single unit's equipment.
Version 3.2 does include confirmed free resources. Logging in during the version period grants a cumulative 10 Encrypted Master Tapes and 10 Boopons. A separate 14-day Surprise Screening Plan check-in allows players who complete its designated missions to select one Angels of Delusion outfit. These are distinct reward tracks and should not be merged into one pull total.

Which ZZZ 3.2 banner is the best value?
There is no universal winner before live testing, but there is a practical decision tree:
| Account need | Best banner to investigate first | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You want the new Armorer system | Claret | First Armorer, Electric, DEF-scaling Gash and Maim loop |
| You need an established Stun option now | Nangong Yu | Returning Agent with known live performance |
| You want a new Wind Stun option | Roxy | Confirmed Wind Stun kit built around Eyes of the Storm |
| You already have a Promeia-ready roster | Promeia | Returning Agent may fit an existing investment plan |
| Your account lacks two complete teams | Agent channel before W-Engine channel | Team breadth usually creates more value than a single-unit upgrade |
| You are unsure between phases | Wait | Phase 2 planning improves after Claret's live data and official channel dates arrive |
The safest general recommendation is to pull the Agent who completes a playable three-Agent team. If two candidates do that equally well, preference becomes the tie-breaker. If neither does, save rather than forcing a banner into an unfinished account.
FAQ
When do the ZZZ 3.2 banners start? The first-half banners start when Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.2 launches on September 9, 2026. HoYoverse confirms Claret and Nangong Yu for that half.
Is September 30 confirmed for the Roxy banner? Not in HoYoverse's retrievable global Version 3.2 announcement. Several calendars project September 30, but the official source only says Roxy and Promeia arrive in the second half. Check the in-game Signal Search notice before treating the date as final.
Who are the Version 3.2 rerun Agents? Nangong Yu reruns in the first half, while Promeia reruns in the second half. Their Exclusive W-Engines return in the corresponding halves.
What Specialty is Claret? Claret is an S-Rank Electric Armorer Agent. Her official preview uses DEF scaling, Gash, Maim, Laceration damage, and multi-CRIT mechanics.
What role does Roxy play? Roxy is an S-Rank Wind Stun Agent. Her preview kit creates Eyes of the Storm through tornadoes and combines them into a larger tornado.
Should I pull Roxy for Pyrois? HoYoverse’s preview confirms Roxy as a Wind Stun Agent but does not publish enough live rotation data to prove that she is a mandatory Pyrois partner. The safest answer before Phase 2 is to wait for live testing, then compare her team performance with the Stun options already on your account.
