New Agents Coming In Update 1.1

Update 1.1 New Agents

The 17 Agents in Zenless Zone Zero will have some company. Three new agents will be included in Update 1.1 to assist you with your commissions.

Admittedly, it will not be possible to reach all three agents simultaneously. They can be extracted from two different Signal Search Events. Each of these events usually lasts roughly three weeks. Thus, keep your Polychrome and Encrypted Master Tapes for the agents you wish to draw.

It should be noted that their Strike, Slash, and Pierce attack types are currently unknown.

Qingyi

Rarity: S

Faction: Criminal Investigation Special Response Team

Specialty: Stun

Damage Type: Electric

How To Get Qingyi:

August 14 marks the start of the Untainted Jade Search Event.

Since they are both Electric-Stun Agents, Qingyi and Anby will play the same function. She’ll probably get along well with Zhu Yuan and Seth Lowell.

A three-section staff that can break into a single, solid staff is what Qingyi utilizes. In actuality, she fights more like Nekomata than Anby. Unlike Anby, who is more of a single-target Agent, she employs quick blows that can hit several targets in a circle surrounding her.

Her Ultimate will help her build up Daze like there’s no tomorrow because it’s a powerful AoE attack that deals plenty of strikes.

Jane Doe

Rarity: S

Faction: Unknown

Specialty: Anomaly

Damage Type: Physical

How To Get Jane Doe:

Signal Search Event (No Match Found) (Starts on September 21)

Of the three Agents, Jane Doe is unquestionably the most fascinating. They portrayed her as the vicious head of a deadly militant organization and the primary antagonist of Undercover R&B. You get to play as her, which is amazing because they even teased her as a boss battle.

Like Piper Wheel, she is a Physical-Anomaly Agent, thus it will be interesting to observe how they differ and how they are similar. Apart from other Physical Agents, it’s difficult to predict who she would get along with because her faction is still unknown.

Jane battles with strange weapons that resemble a cross between a karambit knife and a kunai. Her use of them is lethal, and for added unpredictable effect, she even fastens them to her feet and tail when performing combos.

Jane’s Ultimate is an AoE attack, just as Qingyi. Although it doesn’t appear to hit as frequently as Qingyi, it can cause more damage or give your enemies a status condition or debuff.

Seth Lowell

Rarity: A

Faction: Criminal Investigation Special Response Team

Specialty: Defense

Damage Type: Electric

How To Get Seth Lowell:

Signal Search Event (No Match Found) (Starts on September 21)

Seth will join the Criminal Investigation Special Response squad alongside Zhu Yuan and Qingyi. Members of this faction can now be grouped together and have all of their Additional Abilities activated.

Don’t forget to try other Electric Agents with Qingyi and Seth. When they get there, six Agents have Electric, making it the most prevalent element.

He uses a baton and shield that can be combined to become a huge sword when fighting.

A critical void will be filled by Seth Lowell as a Defense Agent. Ben Bigger is the only other Defense Agent in the game, and he’s not really fun to play as. With any luck, Seth will provide players with a solid, tough character to fall back on when things get rough. Buff Ben, please, HoYoverse.

His Ultimate, which is probably helpful against bosses, consists of a sequence of large forward vertical slashes with his blade.

Any Others?

Despite the fact that these agents are assured to appear in Undercover R&B, Hoshimi Miyabi, the head of Section 6, deserves special recognition. She has been hinted at as a potential agent, and some believe she will also appear in Update 1.1.

New W-Engines In Update 1.1

New W-EnginesThree New W-Engines

To fit their individual playstyles, the three new Agents will each have a unique W-Engine.

Unfortunately, not much is currently known regarding the added effects and stat boosts that these new W-Engines will offer. They have only disclosed their names, looks, specializations, and rarities.

They are available through temporary W-Engine Channels. In accordance with the Agent Signal Search Events, these will begin and end.

Ice-Jade Teapot

Rarity: S

Specialty: Stun

How To Get Ice-Jade Teapot:

Beginning on August 14, the W-Engine Channel

Expect it to contain effects and buffs that boost the amount of Daze an agent inflicts because this is Qingyi’s hallmark W-Engine.

Sharpened Stinger

Rarity: S

Specialty: Anomaly

How To Get Sharpened Stinger:

W-Engine Channel (September 21st starts)

Since Jane Doe is an Anomaly agent, Sharpened Stinger may contain buffs, debuffs, and/or effects that encourage Anomaly Buildup, sometimes known as elemental status effects.

Peacekeeper – Specialized

Rarity: A

Specialty: Defense

How To Get Peacekeeper – Specialized:

W-Engine Channel (September 21st starts)

Seth’s W-Engine. Based on the other Defense W-Engines, Peacekeeper-Specialized is probably going to raise an agent’s maximum HP or increase their resistance to harm.

New Bangboo In Update 1.1

New BangbooThe New Bangboo

In Update 1.1, a new S-Rank Bangboo named Officer Cui will be added. Unfortunately, we don’t currently have a lot of information on its statistics aside from its name and appearance.

We do know that Officer Cui is associated with the Special Response Team for Criminal Investigation. If you have two or more members of that faction in your squad, it will receive an extra bonus.
