Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Overview: Fengyu and the New Agents
3.2 is the debut patch for Fengyu, and understanding the specialty matters more than reading raw multipliers first.
Patch and banner timing
Version 3.2 "Her Secret Past" went live on September 9, 2026. Both new S-rank agents are from Flint Workshop: Clara is Fengyu/Electric and Roxie is Stun/Wind.
The new Parry Support move type
Version 3.2 adds "Parry Support," a move category built around the Fengyu clash mechanic . The practical effect is that Fengyu agents get an active damage window against large enemy attacks instead of only dodging out of them.
Roxie and the Corin buff
Roxie is a Stun agent. Community datamine notes state all of her moves deal Wind damage, though these numbers are not final . Version 3.2 also buffed the older agent Corin, adding a minor Mindscape .
Clara Mechanics: DEF Scaling and the Fixed 150 Percent
Clara's damage model is nothing like a standard Attack agent, and stacking the wrong stat wastes the panel.
Core passive triggers off Fengyu and Stun
The community V1 datamine lists Fengyu and Stun as keywords in Clara's core passive trigger conditions, which signals she is designed to share a team with a Stun agent . Roxie, the Wind Stun agent launching in the same patch, is the obvious partner.
Crit rate converts, but damage settles as a fixed number
Datamine data shows Clara carries a crit-rate-to-crit-damage conversion model, but she does not benefit from crit damage normally. Instead damage is settled at a fixed 150 percent . Stacking crit damage therefore hits a ceiling, while crit rate is the stat that unlocks output.
Why DEF became the main stat
Community testing classifies Clara as a DEF-scaling agent, which finally gives a use to the DEF main-stat drive discs players have been discarding . The same testing mentions a Fengyu "squared crit" property with damage windows measured up to 8.23x .
Clara Drive Discs and W-Engine Choice
Set and main stat direction
Two lines matter: raising DEF, and adding Electric damage bonus. Since 3.0, slot 5 drive discs can roll elemental damage bonus main stats, and Clara follows the same rule . For 4-piece versus 2-piece splits, follow the 3.2 in-game recommendations and hands-on tests. The community direction is DEF first, crit rate to fill.
Substats in priority order
- DEF percent, the core damage source
- Crit rate, to feed the conversion model
- ATK percent, worth less than DEF
- Crit damage, capped by the fixed 150 percent settlement
W-Engine
Pick an engine that grants DEF or Electric damage bonus. If you cannot afford a signature engine yet, run a generic DEF-oriented engine until you are sure Clara stays in your roster.
Clara Team Compositions
| Team | Agents | Gear direction | Rotation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Budget standard | Clara + Rina + Corin | Clara on DEF and crit rate, supports on generic buffs | Corin breaks first, Rina applies buffs, Clara takes the parry and enhanced attacks |
| Fengyu stun | Clara + Roxie + sustain | Roxie handles Wind stun, Clara eats the trigger window | Roxie dazes, Clara clashes for the parry, burst combo to finish |
| Electric counter | Clara + Electric support + flexible sustain | Built for Electric-weak content | Break first, then pull the timeline so the parry window lines up with the enemy burst |
Why standard-pool supports are enough
Community testing states both of Clara's best supports are standard-pool agents, so a function group forms with a single limited 5-star investment . For newer accounts that means no extra limited banner budget beyond Clara herself.
Shiyu Defense Practical Tips
Lanes and elemental resistances
Shiyu Defense settles lane by lane, and enemy resistances differ per lane. Clara is an Electric damage dealer, so she gains the most on a lane with Electric weakness or reduced Electric resistance. If the current rotation suppresses Electric across the board, park her in the lane with the least survival pressure and let standard supports keep the rotation stable.
Common mistakes
- Treating crit damage as the core stat. The fixed 150 percent settlement caps it.
- Running no Stun agent, so the core passive never triggers.
- Using the parry window to dodge instead of dealing damage.
- Mixing drive disc sets casually and losing elemental damage bonus.
- Skipping the sustain slot and dying in the back half of long fights.
Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Resource Plan
| Priority | Target | Why |
|---|---|---|
| High | Clara | First agent of a new specialty, cheap teams, immediate value in Electric-weak content |
| Medium | Roxie | Wind Stun and a natural fit for Clara's trigger condition, only if you lack a Stun slot |
| Medium | Corin | Buffed in 3.2 with a minor Mindscape, worth re-evaluating if you own her |
| Low | Rerun banners | Fill gaps in existing teams rather than chasing new ones |
Denny and materials
Denny is the most overlooked bottleneck in 3.2: levelling a new agent, pushing skills and upgrading drive discs all consume it. Farm Denny to a safe buffer before you spend on engines and disc upgrades.

FAQ
Q: Should I pull Clara in 3.2?
A: Yes if you lack Electric damage or want to play Fengyu. Her two best supports are standard-pool agents, so the team forms with one limited 5-star.
Q: Is crit damage worth stacking on Clara?
A: Barely. Datamine shows a crit-rate-to-crit-damage model settled as a fixed 150 percent, so crit damage is capped.
Q: Is Roxie required for Clara?
A: Not required, but her Stun role matches Clara's Fengyu and Stun trigger keyword, so she is the priority pickup if you have no Stun agent.
Q: How do I get the free outfits in 3.2?
A: Version 3.2 hands out the Angels of Delusion outfit set through its patch events.
Q: I keep failing Shiyu Defense. What first?
A: Check lane resistances, move Clara to the Electric-weak lane, and confirm a Stun agent is in the team to trigger the core passive before you invest in disc upgrades.
Action list
- Check the current Shiyu Defense lane resistances before deciding Clara's lane.
- Build DEF main stats first and add crit rate substats; do not chase crit damage.
- Keep one Stun agent on the team so the core passive triggers.
- Farm Denny to a safe buffer before pulling for Clara and upgrading gear.
- On older accounts, review Corin's 3.2 buff and Mindscape unlock.
Game Guides
- Palworld v1.0.5 Tower Boss Order Guide: Elements, Counters and Squad Choices
Palworld's v1.0.5 patch (2026-09-15) only fixed texture loading, so what actually shapes tower runs is the 1.0 release itself: the boss count expanded from 7 towers in early access to 9, the level curve runs from 10 all the way to 80, and the new Sunreach sky islands and World Tree finale sit at the end of it . Clearing towers is less about raw investment than about picking Pals that exploit each boss's element.
- Reverse: 1999 Version 4.0.0 Second Half Guide: Drake, the October 15 Banner Swap and Free Rewards
Reverse: 1999 has moved into the second half of version 4.0.0, and the banners swap on October 15: Drake arrives as a new standard six-star Beast character, while a pick-your-own rate-up runs with Quniang, Liangyue, Nana, Lucy and Nodica selectable . The first half's limited SP Crossbow banner closes at the same point, so October 15 is a clean dividing line.
- Love and Deepspace Xavier Birthday Guide: Wish Upon This Moment Banner Window
Love and Deepspace's Xavier birthday event is live, and the birthday five-star Memory is obtainable from 2026-10-11 at 05:00 to 2026-10-18 at 04:59 (source: official birthday calendar and birthday Memory announcement, 2026-10-08). The window is only seven days and it is a single-character banner rather than a pooled one, so the budget is easier to plan, provided you count your tickets and diamonds before you start pulling. The single target is the main advantage: there is no risk of boosting the wrong Memory and no need to compare three candidates.
- Honkai: Star Rail 4.6 Planar Fissure Guide: Double Relic Drops and Immersifier Spending
Honkai: Star Rail's 4.6 Planar Fissure event is live, and Planar Ornaments drop double rewards for the duration . The doubled runs are limited and do not reset during the event, so the goal is not farming more but spending the limited runs on the two worlds your roster actually needs.
- Genshin Impact 7.1 Imaginarium Theater Guide: Ice, Hydro and Anemo Stacking
The October 2026 Imaginarium Theater rotation locks the playable elements to Ice, Hydro and Anemo, and its core mechanic grants one stack of Frost Benediction whenever your party triggers Swirl, with each stack adding 80% Swirl damage and 12% crit damage up to 3 stacks . So the rotation is not about raw damage but about Swirl frequency, getting the blessing to full stacks as fast as possible.
- Wuthering Waves 3.7 Tower of Adversity Lineup Guide: Mid Tower Splits and Side Tower Stamina
The Wuthering Waves 3.7 Tower of Adversity refreshed on October 13, and this rotation cuts Havoc resistance on the left tower's fourth floor, which clears the way for Havoc teams. The mid tower remains the hardest part of the cycle, with Sunmoon, Cartethyia and Phrolova squads still carrying it, Zhanfei usable, and Galbrena needing Qiuyuan to reach full shape. If you only need the rewards, the side towers auto-clear and your stamina belongs to the mid tower.
- Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Shiyu Defense Guide: Three Teams and the October 2 Rotation
Zenless Zone Zero's October 2 Shiyu Defense rotation runs through October 16 and ends in a three-room score check where each room caps at 25,000 points for an S rank and the total reaches 100,000 (source: in-game Shiyu Defense interface plus creator testing, 2026-10-02). If you only want the Polychrome, getting all three rooms to S is enough, because the reward gate is the S rank and not the total.
