Roxy in Zenless Zone Zero: What Players Should Know About the Mysterious New Agent

The mystery of Roxy’s database entry

Zenless Zone Zero players who keep a close eye on the game’s database spotted something new: combat data for an agent named Roxy. The entry exists, but most of the important details are still hidden. Attack multipliers, energy costs, team synergies — all of it remains locked behind encryption. For now, the community can only work with what little is visible and try to guess what kind of agent Roxy might be.

This kind of early data drop happens before official reveals in Zenless Zone Zero, and it always sparks debate. But without concrete numbers, any analysis is guesswork. That has not stopped players from digging into the clues that are available.

The known facts

• Agent name: Roxy
• Status: Combat data is in the database, but an official announcement has not been made yet
• Quote: “I’ll grant you a peaceful slumber.”
• Element and role: Not listed in any official materials
• Release date: Not announced

That is the full extent of what is confirmed. Everything else is speculation built on that single line of dialogue and patterns seen in past agent releases.

What the quote might tell us

“I’ll grant you a peaceful slumber.” The line is short but suggestive. Sleep, rest, peace — these words point toward a control-based playstyle. In a game where combat moves fast and enemies hit hard, an agent who can put targets to sleep or lock them down would have clear value.

Zenless Zone Zero already has agents who specialize in stunning enemies. Qingyi, for example, builds up stun efficiently and lets burst damage dealers take over during the stun window. If Roxy’s kit leans into sleep mechanics or similar crowd control, she could fill a related but distinct role. A sleep effect that prevents enemies from acting while they take damage over time would play differently from a standard stun lock.

But without official numbers, this is all reading tea leaves. The quote could mean something else entirely once the full kit is revealed.

How Roxy might fit the current meta

Patch 2.4 brought new banners and events that shifted the tier lists. The meta in Zenless Zone Zero does not stay still for long, and a new control agent could shake things up again. If Roxy’s kit delivers on the implied control theme, she could fit into teams that rely on burst windows — stun the enemy, then unload damage.

She might also compete with existing stun agents for a slot on the team. That depends on whether sleep or other control effects stack with stun or overwrite it. If they stack, Roxy becomes a strong enabler. If they overwrite, players will need to make careful decisions about which control agent to bring.

There is also the possibility that Roxy brings something entirely new to the table. The database entry does not specify her element, so she could introduce a fresh damage type or anomaly effect. That would open up team compositions that do not exist yet.

Hypothetical team ideas

Without a full kit reveal, any team suggestions are educated guesses. But based on the control focus, here are some paths worth thinking about:

• Control into burst: Pair Roxy with a stun specialist and a high-damage DPS. The goal would be to chain incapacitation effects and create long windows for damage.
• Low-investment test team: Use Roxy with free agents like Nicole or Anby. This lets players experiment with her utility without spending resources on rare units.
• Mono-element synergy: If Roxy shares an element with existing agents, a mono-element squad could benefit from her crowd control while stacking element-specific bonuses.

These are starting points, not recommendations. Official kit details will confirm or invalidate each of these approaches.

What to expect from her build

Recommending specific Drive Discs or stat targets for an agent whose skills are unknown would be irresponsible. But if Roxy follows the pattern of recent control-focused agents, some stats are likely to matter more than others.

• Impact or Anomaly Proficiency: If her kit scales with stun buildup or anomaly effects, these stats will be priority targets.
• Energy Regen: Control agents often rely on their EX Special and Ultimate to apply effects. High energy regeneration keeps those tools available.
• Crit Rate and Crit Damage: Only worth investing in if Roxy has built-in crit scaling. Otherwise, these stats do nothing for a control-oriented kit.

Wait for test server footage or official developer notes before farming gear. Pre-farming the wrong stats wastes time and battery charge.

The pulling question

Roxy has not been announced for a banner. There is no pity counter to track, no schedule to plan around. Players who are saving for confirmed upcoming agents — including those expected in the 2.5 update — should think carefully before spending Polychromes on speculation.

Every pull spent on an unknown agent is a pull that cannot be used on a known quantity. Unless you collect every agent or have resources to spare, waiting for the official reveal is the safer choice. The opportunity cost is real.

Bottom line

Roxy’s appearance in the database is an interesting breadcrumb, but it is not enough information to make a pulling decision. The quote and the control theme are intriguing hooks. The lack of concrete numbers means every meta take is provisional. Watch the official channels for the full reveal, and in the meantime, keep building the teams you already have.
