Zenless Zone Zero Version 2.3 has arrived, and it’s painting New Eridu in a whole new (and slightly eerie) light. This update whisks players deep into the minds of two mysterious Agents, introduces new dreamlike Ether tech, and packs in fresh combat challenges to test every Proxy’s tactical prowess. In this article, we’ll meet the new Agents Lucia and Yidhari, explore the latest W-Engine, and dive into the details of Phase 1’s events!
New Characters: Lucia and Yidhari
Known in the Spook Shack forum as “Night Emissary,” Lucia is an S-Rank Ether Support Agent that blurs the line between dream and reality. In battle, Lucia is an all-around unit, building Dream Points to trigger her Dream state, which grants her squad buffs and creates dream bubbles that both heal and enhance her allies’ abilities. Her Ultimate, “Charge, Great Armor!” sees her crash through enemies atop an Ethereal mount, healing her team in a luminous display of power.
Yidhari, on the other hand, is Lucia’s mirror image: a quiet, brooding figure who treats her HP bar like it’s her plaything. In combat, Yidhari benefits from absorbing damage. Her HP acts as both weapon and resource: the lower it falls, the more devastating her attacks become. Her icy slashes deal Sheer DMG that pierces defenses, while her EX Special, Frost Coil, unleashes a chilling combo that restores some of her HP. Mastering Yidhari means walking a tightrope between death and triumph, a thrilling risk for the daring.
Lucia’s banner headlines Phase 1 with a Vivian rerun starting October 15, 2025. A-Rank Agents Manato and Piper Wheel will join them, while Yidhari will make her grand debut on Phase 2 beginning November 5, 2025.

New W-Engine: Dreamlit Hearth
Lucia’s signature W-Engine is tailor-made for support mains who crave both power and a flashy playstyle. This S-Rank Support weapon boasts a Base ATK of 713 and a 30% HP boost, making it an essential tool for maximizing Lucia’s healing and buff potential.
Its passive skill, Moontide Epic, takes squad synergy to new heights: the wielder gains 0.4 Energy Regen per second, and whenever Ether Veil is activated or extended, all teammates receive 25% increased DMG and 15% Max HP for 45 seconds. This effect refreshes on repeat procs, ensuring the squad stays buffed in longer fights. It goes without saying that Dreamlit Hearth is Lucia’s current best-in-slot, as it turns her into the heartbeat of any Ether-centered team.
New Events
When Dreams Remain Unfinished
In this haunting event, Proxies step into Yidhari’s fragmented memories to uncover the truth behind her past. The twist? You won’t just battle enemies—you’ll become them. This turn-based combat mode lets players control monsters in tactical fights where Energy management and positioning are key. Quick-time interactions keep things fast-paced, allowing skilled players to block or counter enemy attacks in style.
As you progress, you’ll unlock new monster companions, auxiliary plug-ins for buffs, and plenty of Polychrome rewards. Best of all, completing the event nets you a free Komano Manato, perfect for spicing up your roster.
Threshold Simulation: Branching Echoes
Elsewhere in New Eridu, strange phenomena have begun warping Companion Hollows. Hoshimi Miyabi invites you to investigate the brand-new Threshold Simulation mode, set within the Suibian Temple. This event blends story-driven choices with strategic combat: each run splits into Combat and Story nodes, and your choices shape not just the narrative but the final boss itself.
Combat nodes come in Required, Optional, and Final stages, offering score multipliers based on your performance. Complete each ending to earn exclusive badges, trophies, and bragging rights worthy of a true Proxy.
Version 2.3 of Zenless Zone Zero is a perfect blend of eerie stories, high-stakes combat, and meaningful rewards. Lucia’s ethereal support kit and Dreamlit Hearth redefine team play, while Yidhari’s ferocity offers a perfect counterbalance for Phase 2.
