1) New characters

The Zenless Zone Zero 1.6 banners will introduce Silver Soldier Anby and Trigger to the playable roster. Pulchra will also debut as an A-Rank character in the next patch.

Silver Soldier Anby has been confirmed to be an Attack specialist from the Electric attribute, who thrives at isolating targets during combat. She will become stronger the more players use her in the battle. Hence, she is a perfect candidate for the DPS role.

In contrast, Trigger will be a support damage dealer specializing in the Stun fighting style. She deals Electric DMG and can launch coordinated attacks, which further bolsters her stunning capability. Pulchra is also affiliated as a Stun specialist who shares a similar playstyle as Trigger. The only difference is their element and power scaling.
