If you’ve been waiting for an Agent who can deliver icy precision and big-brain burst mechanics, it’s time to totalize your hype because Hugo has officially arrived in Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.7 Phase 2! With his high DPS, stun-synergy kit, and cool-headed demeanor, this S-Rank Agent from Mockingbird isn’t just here to look good—he’s here to dominate the meta.
In this article, we’re diving into everything you need to know about Hugo’s kit, playstyle, signature W-Engine, and an exciting limited-time farming event you’ll want to take advantage of.
New Agent: Hugo
Hugo Vlad, the ice-cold leader of Mockingbird brings both brains and brawn to the Hollow. In the world of New Eridu, Hugo’s a stoic yet sharp Agent who doesn’t waste time. His Totalize mechanic sets him apart from other Attack-class Agents by letting him detonate stunned enemies for massive burst damage. The more stun time left, the harder he hits.

He’s a melee Ice-type attacker who rewards precise timing and synergy with Agents who specialize in building Daze and triggering Stun. Once an enemy is stunned, Hugo can end that state early with the Totalize effect, unleashing a devastating blow while continuing to apply pressure with follow-up shots. His playstyle is all about rhythm: stun, detonate, repeat. Pair him with Daze-generating allies and watch your enemies freeze to death.
Phase 2 Agents:
S-Rank Agents
- Hugo (Ice, Attack)
- Lighter (Fire, Stun)
A-Rank Agents
- Soukaku (Ice, Support)
- Anton (Electric, Attack)
New W-Engine: Myriad Eclipse
Hugo’s signature W-Engine, Myriad Eclipse, is made to push his Totalize effect even further. Here’s what this frosty blaster brings to the table:
- Base ATK: 713
- Crit Rate: 24%
- Passive – False Personas: Increases an Agent’s Crit DMG by 45%. Allows the wielder to ignore 25% of the enemy’s DEF after dealing Ice DMG with an EX Special Attack, Chain Attack, or Ultimate.
In action, Myriad Eclipse takes Hugo’s burst potential to the next level. The added Ignore DEF means every stun detonation hits like a truck, and the Crit Rate buff keeps your damage consistently high during follow-up attacks. If you’re serious about maining Hugo, this weapon is a must-have.
New Event: Data Bounty: Combat Simulation
Still feel the sting from building Vivian from Phase 1? The devs feel your pain, and they’re throwing you a lifeline. Data Bounty: Combat Simulation is a limited-time double drop rate event that’s all about farming smarter, not harder.
During the event, Proxies can earn double the rewards for up to 5 enemy cards per day by running Combat Simulations at the HIA Club. That means:
- Double Dennies
- Double Skill Chips
- Double Certification Seals
These are the core materials you need to promote your Agents and level up their skills, so whether you’re building Hugo, finishing up Vivian, or prepping your next all-star team, now’s the perfect time to stack up!
Between Hugo’s explosive debut, his new W-Engine, and the farming event that feels like a gift from the gacha gods, Version 1.7 Phase 2 is anything but chill. This might just be one of the best times to jump back in, stack resources, and build your next dream squad.
