Severian and Norma headline ZZZ 3.3 Phase 2

Which S-Rank do you spend your Polychromes on this week? That question now has two fresh answers in Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.3.

The second half of Version 3.3 opened its doors today. Two limited Signal Search channels are running at once, and both carry an S-Rank Agent along with their signature W-Engine. Proxies who want the full picture can check our Zenless Zone Zero coverage for ongoing updates.

Oddly enough, HoYoverse did not include an end date or time zone in the official announcement materials we received.

The full phase 2 lineup

Here is what is currently available across both limited channels:

• Severian, an S-Rank Agent using Wind and built around Attack.
• Norma, an S-Rank Agent wielding Fire in a Stun role.
• Incarcerating Grip, an S-Rank W-Engine designed for Attack characters.
• Chief Sidekick, an S-Rank W-Engine made for Stun specialists.

The pattern here matters more than it looks at first glance. Severian marks only the second Wind Attack S-Rank introduced during Version 3.3 itself, right behind Phoenix from the opening half alongside Velina. Norma fills a different gap entirely by giving Fire players another Stun option after that role stayed quiet recently.

What official materials do not state is how long these banners will stay up or how pity carries over between phases within this patch cycle.

Two events run alongside

The phase does not stop at banners either:

• 'En-Nah' Into Your Lap: A check-in event where logging in alone earns rewards.
• Trails of the Hobbling Crow: A limited-time event whose objective structure remains undisclosed.

Both are confirmed live right now per the announcement text we worked from. Since reward specifics were never published there either way, your best move is opening the Events menu inside the game itself to see exact objectives before time runs out.

How to plan your pulls

With two Agents and two W-Engines competing for attention simultaneously, resource management gets trickier than usual this phase.

If you are spending nothing extra this patch: pick exactly one target ahead of time rather than spreading pulls thin across both channels.

If you spend occasionally: check whether you sit near guaranteed pity before deciding where your next ten-pull lands.

On W-Engines specifically: treat them as lower priority unless Incarcerating Grip or Chief Sidekick directly upgrades someone already built on your roster.

A quick reality check belongs here too because rate details were left out of official communications entirely.

A straightforward drop overall

The takeaway stays simple even with missing deadlines attached to everything above:

• Phase 2 delivers two new S-Rank Agents plus their matching gear right now.
• Both events are active immediately rather than staggered later into this window.
• Any dates circulating outside official channels deserve skepticism until HoYoverse publishes confirmation themselves.
