New Eridu’s spookiest crew is back at it again, and this time, they’ve got some elite backup. The mystery-hunting Spook Shack expands its ranks in Version 2.1 Phase 2 with the debut of Alice Thymefield, a polished fencing prodigy who knows how to cut through trouble with style. This update is all about Anomaly supremacy, with Alice taking center stage with the battle-hardened Tsukishiro Yanagi, new banners, a shiny W-Engine, and events that will keep you busy all season long.
In this article, we’ll break down the new banners and the special events you won’t want to miss during this action-packed phase.
New Character: Alice Thymefield
Alice Thymefield may look like the picture-perfect honors student, but don’t let her polite smile fool you! This young heiress of the prestigious Thymefield family is a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. A master of Ether science and fencing, Alice is a Physical-Anomaly main DPS specializing in building up Blade Etiquette Stacks mid-combat. Once she has enough, she unleashes Polarized Assault, a powerful technique that bypasses typical Attribute Accumulation rules to dish out massive damage. Best paired with Anomaly or Support characters, Alice shines in teams built to trigger Disorder frequently, enabling her burst-heavy playstyle.
Sharing the spotlight in Phase 2 is the ever-reliable Yanagi, Deputy Chief of Section 6, and a top contender for the most versatile character in ZZZ. An Electric-Anomaly Agent, Yanagi wields her twin stances (Jougen and Kagen) to adapt to the flow of battle. Jougen boosts Electric DMG while Kagen raises her PEN Ratio, giving her the edge to break through the toughest enemies.
These two strong S-Rank Agents will be featured in limited banners from August 6 to September 3, 2025, accompanied by A-Rank allies Soukaku and Seth Lowell.

New Weapon: Practiced Perfection
If you want to pull for Alice and bring out her full potential, look no further than the new W-Engine, Practiced Perfection. This S-Rank weapon works best for Anomaly Agents, and its Passive offers massive boosts that perfectly align with Alice’s kit. Its sleek design hides its deadly power, precisely what you’d expect from someone of Alice’s caliber.
With a Base ATK of 713 and ATK% scaling to 30%, Practiced Perfection’s true strength lies in its Passive: Gift of Stardust, which grants a flat +60 to Anomaly Mastery and boosts Physical DMG by 20% for 20 seconds every time Assault is triggered. This W-Engine game-changer makes Alice’s burst damage even scarier for players leaning into Physical-Anomaly team comps.
