The latest update for Zenless Zone Zero has officially arrived, introducing two new S-Rank Agents alongside their tailor-made W-Engines in limited-time event banners. Whether you are aiming to bolster your squad’s power or hunting for top-tier gear, this patch delivers compelling choices for players of every experience level. For more detailed breakdowns, visit GenshinBuilds.

Quick Breakdown

• Billy (Starlight): S-Rank, Physical, Rupture specialist.
• Orphie & Magus: S-Rank, Fire, Attack specialist.
• Starlight Rider Faceplate: S-Rank W-Engine, best-in-slot for Billy.
• Bellicose Blaze: S-Rank W-Engine, designed for Orphie & Magus.
• Limited Events: Various opportunities to earn Polychrome, upgrade supplies, and exclusive cosmetics.

Banner Mechanics and Pulling Advice

Both Billy and the duo of Orphie & Magus are currently featured in their own character banners, with corresponding weapon banners available simultaneously. The standard pity mechanics persist: you are guaranteed an S-Rank character within 90 pulls and an S-Rank W-Engine within 80. Characters adhere to a 50/50 probability structure, while weapons follow a 75/25 rate.

While official end dates aren’t listed, historical patterns suggest these banners will remain active for about three weeks. Always check your in-game timer to manage your resources effectively.

Should You Recruit Billy?

As a Physical Rupture agent, Billy specializes in accumulating Rupture stacks to trigger devastating damage reactions. If your current lineup lacks a consistent Rupture source, Billy offers excellent utility and focused single-target damage. While F2P players might find alternative A-Rank units to fill this niche, Billy stands out as a significant upgrade for those looking to optimize their Physical teams.

Should You Recruit Orphie & Magus?

Orphie & Magus serve as a high-octane Fire Attack pair, excelling in both burst output and sustained elemental pressure. This duo is essential for tackling content vulnerable to fire, such as specific Shiyu Defense tiers. If you are missing a primary Fire DPS, they are a powerful asset. Pairing them with the Bellicose Blaze W-Engine further maximizes their potential by boosting crit stats and elemental damage.

Evaluating the W-Engines

Starlight Rider Faceplate and Bellicose Blaze are precision-engineered for their respective agents. While they provide base stats for other units, their passive traits are optimized specifically for Billy and Orphie & Magus. Pulling for the weapon is a smart move if you want to push these characters to their maximum capability.

Current Events and Giveaways

A fresh batch of content is now live, providing ample rewards:

• ‘En-Nah’ Into Your Lap: Daily logins for Polychrome and essential materials.
• ‘Spirit’ Artist’s Notebook: Unlock unique customization rewards.
• A Look Into Ridu’s Legends: Engaging story challenges with combat focus.
• Good Morning, Roscaelifer: Daily sign-in bonuses.
• Return to Ridu: Special incentives for lapsed players returning to the game.

These activities are excellent for farming Polychrome before the current banners conclude. Stay updated via our GenshinBuilds event hub.

Optimizing Team Compositions

Billy flourishes in Physical Rupture setups, particularly alongside support characters like Nicole and stunners such as Anby. Conversely, Orphie & Magus are most effective in Fire-centric teams; pairing them with an ATK-buffing support and a stunner like Koleda will maximize their damage windows.

This banner cycle provides great depth for your roster’s elemental and role requirements. Evaluate your current savings and needs, and be sure to participate in the ongoing events to maximize your Polychrome stash.
