Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Clarette role: the core of an Electric Attack agent
Clarette is the S-rank agent introduced in 3.2, an Electric Attack unit obtainable from the "Crimson Moon Rising" channel; from 3.2 onward she is also available through channel probability and the toy shop .
What stats Clarette scales with
Attack agents lean toward damage and triggering, so the gearing rule is to push crit rate high enough to saturate her bonuses before adding crit damage. That is why her Drive Disc stat order differs from what you would use on a generic carry.
Why she is the headline of the patch
3.2 also ships main story season three chapter three "Her Secret Past", plus trust events and Companion events for Clarette and Roxie. The patch bundles character, story and trust content together, so pulling her also unlocks a story thread.
Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Clarette Drive Discs and W-Engines
Gearing solves one problem: keeping crit rate and damage bonus from fighting each other.
How to order the main stats
Buy crit rate up to its threshold first, then damage bonus; for sub-stats prioritise crit rate and crit damage, then attack . The classic Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Clarette build mistake is stacking crit damage while crit rate lags, which lowers real output.
Are off-banner W-Engines usable
Yes. The new B-rank W-Engine "Moon Phase - Chord" (Attack) added in 3.2 is the budget pick, obtainable through channel probability or the toy shop . Use it as a bridge if you lack the signature engine; it will not block your clears.
Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Shiyu Defense team comps
Shiyu Defense rewards the right matchup and a finished team, not one over-invested carry.
| Team type | Main damage | Support or stun | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electric burst | Clarette | Attack plus support | Electric-weak enemies |
| General physical | Standard attack | Support plus defender | No element preference |
| Counter team | Clarette | Stun unit | High-toughness elites |
Building for Electric-weak enemies
When enemies are weak to Electric, Clarette pays off fastest with one attack unit and one support . Keep at least one reliable stun unit, or your damage stalls on shields.
Should you force her into non-electric fights
I would not. When the element is not favoured, a better-built general team is usually safer; the goal in Shiyu Defense is clearing, not score-chasing .
Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Rookie Prospector's Guide: picking a free S-rank
3.2 hands new players a free pick, so check it before pulling.
What the three options mean
If you did not receive the free limited S-rank agent from the 3.1 anniversary gift, after the 3.2 update you can head to the Rookie Prospector's Guide and choose one of the limited S-rank agents Jane, Hugo or Soldier 0 Anby . In short, you are picking whichever role your roster is missing.
Choosing between the three W-Engines
After completing the second stage's required tasks in the Rookie Prospector's Guide, you can pick one of the S-rank W-Engines Sharpened Fang, Sunfall of a Thousand Faces or Sacrificial Purity . The rule: take whichever one can go on a character you have already built.
Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 story and trust events
The 3.2 content sits mostly on the narrative side, separate from the banner.
Main story season three chapter three
Chapter three, "Her Secret Past", opens permanently after the 3.2 update and requires finishing season three chapter two, "A Long Farewell" . If you have not cleared the prerequisite, do that first.
Companion and trust events
The patch adds trust and Companion events for Clarette and Roxie, unlocked by owning the agents and finishing the prerequisite story . That is why pulling Clarette still leaves content to play. Full archive at gghubs.com guides.
Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 FAQ
Is Clarette worth pulling?
A: If your Electric team lacks a carry, or you want the 3.2 story and trust content, yes; if your Electric team is already finished, she drops in priority .
What comes after 3.2?
A: Version 3.3 arrives on 21 October, alongside a planned Steam release, so you can plan 3.2 and 3.3 together.
Can Clarette work without her signature W-Engine?
A: Yes. Bridge with the new B-rank W-Engine "Moon Phase - Chord" (Attack); getting her Drive Disc crit rate up matters more than the signature .
Which free S-rank agent should I pick?
A: Choose one of Jane, Hugo or Soldier 0 Anby that immediately fills a gap in your roster .
Must Clarette be used in Shiyu Defense?
A: No. She pays off most against Electric-weak enemies, while a general team is safer otherwise.
