Zenless Zone Zero 2.5 banners are already stirring the entire community, and for good reason — version 2.5 marks the next major update in the New Eridu cycle with new Agents, big reruns, and a surprising amount of cross-faction synergy hinted in recent leaks. Every time ZZZ drops a half-patch, the meta shifts, and 2.5 looks like one of those updates where both new players and sweaty end-game grinders have something to get excited about.

Leaks across the internet are all pointing toward a dual-banner structure, similar to 2.4, with at least one new S-Rank debut plus high-value reruns returning for another shot. Nothing is officially confirmed yet, but the patterns are consistent — and we’ve filtered out only the reliable sources.

Let’s break down everything we know so far.

Zenless Zone Zero 2.5 Banners – Who’s Actually Coming?

(All info based on credible leaks; nothing here is labeled as final.)

New S-Rank Candidate 

Multiple leak clusters point toward a brand-new S-Rank Agent joining 2.5, with internal codenames being floated around but no finalized name revealed yet. What is consistent across sources:

• They belong to a faction that hasn’t gotten spotlight in 2.3–2.4
  
• Their kit includes burst-heavy damage windows
  
• They fit into existing high-tier comps instead of creating a new niche

Most leakers expect this to be the headline banner of 2.5.

Rerun Candidates – Who Might Return?

While reruns are still unconfirmed, the most repeated names across Reddit and Chinese-source trackers include:

Ellen (S-Rank)

A top-tier Physical DPS with massive single-target output. Ellen is one of the most commonly requested reruns and fits the update timeline perfectly.

Lycaon (S-Rank)

Another favorite in the rerun conversation. His Ice/Strike playstyle remains strong, especially in end-game Hollow stages.

Grace or Rina (A-Rank)

Both are strong A-Rank supports who usually rotate alongside S-Rank reruns. Their kit efficiency makes them regular candidates in banner cycles.

A Bangboo Banner

ZZZ has continued pairing Bangboo banners alongside Agent banners, and 2.5 is expected to follow the same structure with at least one new or rerun Bangboo option.

Zenless Zone Zero 2.5 Weapon Banner (W-Engines) – Early Leak Summary

Weapon banners typically match character banners, and leakers expect:

• S-Rank W-Engine for the new debut Agent (most likely tuned to amplify their burst window)
  
• Rerun W-Engines for Ellen or Lycaon
  
• A-Rank W-Engines returning in the secondary slot

As always: ZZZ signature W-Engines give massive performance spikes, so pulling one can massively change your clear times.

Early Team Comps for the ZZZ 2.5 Banners

Even with incomplete info, early theorycrafts point toward team structures like:

New S-Rank Agent Teams

Fits comfortably into existing high-damage, rotation-focused squads:

• New Agent + Rina + Ben
• New Agent + Grace + Nicole
• New Agent + Koleda + Anby

Ellen Teams (If She Reruns)

• Ellen + Rina + Soukaku
• Ellen + Nicole + Ben

Lycaon Teams

• Lycaon + Soukaku + Grace
• Lycaon + Rina + Anby

These are based on current meta shells and synergy types, not final kit interactions.

Should You Pull the Zenless Zone Zero 2.5 Banners?

Pull if:

• You want the newest S-Rank burst carry
• You’re missing Ellen or Lycaon and need a strong DPS backbone
• You’re aiming for a complete roster for future Hollow Zero resets

Skip if:

• You’re saving for 2.6 or a rumored dual-new-agent update
• You already have similar S-Rank roles filled
• You want to prioritize signature W-Engines over Agents

2.5 looks like a value patch, not a bait patch — but pulling still depends on your roster.

Zenless Zone Zero 2.5 Events – What Leaks Suggest

Current leak clusters point to several event structures:

• A major combat challenge event themed around the new Agent’s faction
  
• A Bangboo mini-event (usually includes a free A-Rank)
  
• Exploration or puzzle-based event similar to past slice-of-life themed updates
  
• Standard login rewards and minor events for Polychrome income

Expect around 1,800–2,200 Polychrome from the full event cycle.

Zenless Zone Zero 2.5 Story Content – Early Expectations

While nothing is confirmed, leakers expect:

• A new Inter-Knot storyline chapter
• A character quest (likely for the new S-Rank)
• Additional lore for an underdeveloped faction
• A new Hollow mission with enemy variants

ZZZ’s story pacing has been consistent all year, so 2.5 should follow through.

How to Prepare for ZZZ 2.5 Banners

Stack Polychrome Early

If you’re aiming for the new S-Rank + their signature W-Engine, plan for:

• 180 pulls for full pity security
• 90 pulls for the Agent only

Farm W-Engine Materials

Signature engines hit much harder when maxed early.

Level Your Supports

Rina, Grace, Soukaku, Nicole, and Ben all appear across leak-based comps — they’re safe investments.

Check Bangboo Inventory

If a new Bangboo drops, you’ll want spare resources ready.
