Zenless Zone Zero 2.3 Update Patch Notes: New Agents and W-Engines

The Zenless Zone Zero 2.3 update patch notes bring a pretty big shakeup to the roster, with new Agents and W-Engines popping in. S-Rank Agent Lucia (Support – Ether) is kinda like the squad’s lifeline; she can heal and buff the team, plus her Ether Veil: Wellspring move bumps up max HP for everyone. Then there’s S-Rank Agent Yidhari (Rupture – Ice), she’s tricky cause her damage grows when her HP goes down, and she can eat or regain health with charged hits, also hitting extra damage if her attacks smack into enemies. A-Rank Agent Komano Manato (Rupture – Fire) brings balance, good offense, and some survival, entering Molten Edge mode to boost CRIT rates and throw heavy Fire damage. Along with the Agents, new W-Engines arrive Dreamlit Hearth (S-Rank, Support), Kraken’s Cradle (S-Rank, Rupture), and Grill O’Wisp (A-Rank, Rupture), all pulled from different Signal Searches.

S-Rank Agent Lucia (Support - Ether)

Lucia helps teams stay alive longer and deal more damage. She has a skill called Ether Veil: Wellspring that makes everyone’s max HP go up and can also heal. She is available in the “Wandering Night Lantern” Signal Search.

S-Rank Agent Yidhari (Rupture - Ice)

Yidhari grows stronger when her HP is low, making her a high-risk fighter. She can heal back and deal big burst damage if her attacks meet enemy strikes. After getting enough Decibels, she can use Ether Veil: Wellspring. She is found in “Alone in a Shared Dream.”

A-Rank Agent Komano Manato (Rupture - Fire)

Manato stays balanced between attack and defense. His skill builds Blazing Heart stacks and lets him enter Molten Edge mode, which boosts CRIT rate and damage. He’s in both Exclusive and W-Engine Signal Searches.

W-Engines

• Dreamlit Hearth (S-Rank, Support) – in “Dissonant Sonata” search
• Kraken’s Cradle (S-Rank, Rupture) – through “Dazzling Choir” search
• Grill O’Wisp (A-Rank, Rupture) – can appear in both “Dissonant Sonata” and “Vibrant Resonance”

All these engines bring new mix options for the Agents, so players can try new setups and weapon ideas.

Story Expansion & Agent Stories

The new story chapter, Season 2, Chapter 4: “Memories of Dreams Bygone,” continues after the previous part. It talks about the pain of losing dreams that once felt real. Players who cleared earlier chapters can start this content and replay it from “Advance Screening.”

Lucia’s Story: “Tales of the Dreamless” opens after finishing Chapter 4, showing what happens to Nightwatchers when they lose their dreams.

There are also Trust & Quality Time Events for Lucia, Yidhari, and Manato, letting players know more about each Agent through special missions and dialogues once unlocked.

Zenless Zone Zero 2.3: Cosmetics and Outfits

The Zenless Zone Zero 2.3 update patch notes also come with new cosmetics and outfits that make the Agents look more stylish and a bit fresher during fights. HoYoverse adds more clothing choices this time that match the idea of dreams and memories the version tells about. Players can now grab special costumes for some Agents from limited-time events or through the Signal Search rewards system. These clothes not only change how the characters look but also give more insight into their mood and small story parts behind them. For players who like collecting visuals and designing things, Version 2.3 surely gives extra reason to play more and show their best Agents in new looks. If you’re looking to get additional materials or upgrade resources to match these outfits, don’t forget to use the Zenless Zone Zero 2.3 Redeem Codes, which give free Polychromes, Dennies, and other useful items to boost your progress.

• Vivian – Iris of the Shore is limited and can be claimed using Encrypted Master Tapes during event periods. It won’t come back until six months after Version 2.4 ends.
• Komano Manato – White Heart Silhouette becomes available once you complete “Memories of Dreams Bygone.” It changes how he appears and adds more charm to battles.

Gameplay, New Areas & Enemies

A new place, Timesworn Hills, unlocks in Chapter 4. It has fresh exploration content, side events, and enemies. New monsters like Wandering Hunter, Haytor, Trinox, and Shieldguard Trooper show up. The Wandering Hunter Challenge drops Crimson Miasma Spike, which can also be traded in Outpost Logistics. New Challenge Stages and Expert Modes give tougher battles for those who like high-difficulty gameplay. The update even adds Dynamic Wallpapers for Agents unlocked through Trust and UI changes like badge editing, better menus, new avatars, animated W-Engine previews, and PS5/Xbox trophy updates.
