ZZZ Version 2.1 Phase 2 Banner Breakdown: Rerun Yanagi & Alice Debut!

With Phase 2 kicking off on August 6, 2025, Zenless Zone Zero isn’t holding back.

This banner phase is bringing serious power with two S-Rank Agents front and center: one fan-favorite returning with electrifying grace, and one brand-new, blade-wielding powerhouse.

Alice (S-Rank – Physical, Anomaly)

Making her long-awaited debut, Alice is more than just a pretty face with a blade. She’s a Physical Anomaly DPS from Spook Shack, and she’s built to dominate both on-field and off-field.

Her signature mechanic, Blade Etiquette, lets her charge up elegant slashes that dish out devastating AoE damage, and she’s completely invulnerable during the attack.

On top of that, she boosts Disorder damage and synergizes incredibly well with other Anomaly Agents or Supports. If you love stylish swordplay and smooth combat animations, Alice might just become your new main carry.

Yanagi (S-Rank – Electric, Anomaly)

Back for her first rerun since launch, Yanagi is returning with all her Electric Anomaly flair. This ninja-like Agent excels in stacking Shock and triggering Anomaly Explosions, making her a prime pick for players who love DOT-heavy gameplay.

Her rerun comes with her signature W-Engine and a rate-up banner that makes her easier to snag this time around, so if you missed her before or want to push her to higher constellations, this is your shot.

A-Rank Agents on Rate-Up

In addition to the two headline S-Ranks, Phase 2 also features the following A-Rank Agents on rate-up:

Soukaku (Ice – Support): Brings strong crowd control and buffs.
Seth (Electric – Defense): Durable tank with excellent utility.

These two round out the Phase 2 roster and offer great synergy with the banner’s Anomaly-focused gameplay loop.

W-Engine Banner: Dazzling Choir

This phase also comes with Practiced Perfection, Alice’s signature W-Engine, tailor-made to enhance her Anomaly performance and slash-based combos.

W-Engines: Practiced Perfection, Timeweaver.

Alongside it, Timeweaver makes a return, ideal for other Anomaly-focused agents like Yanagi. All in all, this 2.1 version brings some W-Engines like:

Practiced Perfection (S-Rank – Anomaly).
Timeweaver (S-Rank – Anomaly).
Bashful Demon (A-Rank – Support).
Peacekeeper – Specialized (A-Rank – Defense).

If you’re planning to pull for Alice, grabbing her W-Engine is a must to unlock her full potential. And if you’re picking up Yanagi or other Anomaly mains, Timeweaver’s rerun is perfectly timed.
