Zenless Zone Zero has a way of making every run feel like a scene from an action movie—fast-paced combat, stylish combos, and environments that keep you on your toes. With the next update on the horizon, now is the perfect time to tighten your gameplay, prepare your resources, and set yourself up for a smooth start when new content drops.
The Streets Are Changing
The upcoming patch is rumored to expand the playable areas with a new district called Crimson Spire, an urban zone filled with vertical combat opportunities. Enemies will appear on rooftops, fire from windows, and even ambush you from suspended platforms. Navigating these tight spaces will require both mobility and quick reaction times, making Agents with dashes or aerial skills even more valuable.
This change means more than just new scenery—it alters combat flow. You may need to rethink your current team setups to ensure you can engage threats from multiple angles without breaking combo momentum.
Building the Right Team
If the leaks are correct, two new Agents will headline the update:
Lyra, a Support Agent with the ability to slow enemies’ movement and attack speed in an area, giving DPS characters more breathing room.
Griff, a heavy-hitting Brawler whose charge attacks grow stronger the longer he avoids taking damage.
Both fit into the evolving combat meta, but they’ll require proper build investment to truly shine. Farming the right enhancement materials before release could save you hours of grinding later.
Preparation Tips for the Update
Big patches in ZZZ tend to flood players with new content and limited-time events, so planning ahead makes a big difference:
Clear current Hollow challenges to free up stamina and inventory space.
Farm versatile upgrade materials that can be used across multiple Agent types.
Hold onto your Polychrome until you’ve tested new Agents in trial runs—this prevents regretful pulls.
And if you find yourself just shy of enough Polychrome to hit pity for your favorite Agent, it’s worth considering a secure top-up option so you can make the most of the banner without overextending your budget.
Playing Smart With Resources
One of the easiest mistakes in Zenless Zone Zero is overspending early in an update. The excitement of new content can lead to impulse pulls, leaving you with empty reserves when an even stronger Agent appears a few weeks later.
My approach is simple:
Spend free resources first.
Only top up when I know the purchase directly supports a long-term goal for my account.
Look for event periods where topping up comes with extra rewards—sometimes a small, well-timed recharge can stretch your budget further than expected.
Final Thoughts
Zenless Zone Zero’s world keeps evolving, and each update changes the way we approach its chaotic streets. The next patch promises not only new Agents and zones but also fresh tactical challenges that reward preparation and adaptability. By farming early, planning your pulls, and making deliberate spending choices, you can enjoy everything the game has to offer without the stress of scrambling for resources.
When the Crimson Spire opens, the streets won’t forgive hesitation—so get ready now, plan your moves, and you’ll be the one setting the pace when the battles begin.
