Where HoYoverse has not published a number, this guide says so rather than inventing one. Full breakdown below, and the wider ZZZ archive sits in the GameHub game guides section.
Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Banners and the Vanguard Specialty
Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 banner schedule
Version 3.2, "Her Secret Past," introduces the Vanguard specialty for the first time. Phase one features S-Rank Clara (Electric, Vanguard) with a rerun of Nangong Yu (Ether, Stun). Phase two features S-Rank Roxie (Wind, Stun) with a rerun of Promeia (Ice, Anomaly).
One conflict worth flagging: early leaks described Roxie as a Physical burst DPS, while the version roundup lists her as Wind/Stun. Both are secondary sources. Treat the in-game agent archive as final.
Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 preload size
Preload is live: roughly 6GB on PC and 5GB on mobile. The main story moves through the Wileum area, and the patch adds events including the ball-rolling "Bouncing Hero" run and the maze event "Shadow Chase Showdown."
Zenless Zone Zero Clara Mechanics: DEF as Damage
How Clara's overflow CRIT conversion works
Clara turns DEF into damage, and CRIT Rate beyond her threshold converts into an extra damage payout . Two consequences follow. First, standard ATK/ATK/CRIT Drive Disc layouts are wrong for her. Second, hitting the threshold exactly beats stacking CRIT past it.
Clara as a counter-support hybrid
Clara also carries a counter-support effect, so she doubles as a defensive option that still deals damage. In practice this frees a team slot: you can bring a buffer or a stunner instead of a dedicated sustain unit.
Where the Vanguard archetype is still thin
The obvious hole is DEF buffers. In the public discussion, only Rina supplies DEF scaling in any systematic way . Clara's power currently sits in her own kit rather than in her teammates. If your account already has a finished team, her marginal value is small; if you are short a main DPS, she is self-contained and cheap to run.
Zenless Zone Zero Drive Disc Rules for Clara
Zenless Zone Zero Drive Disc slot rules
Six slots. Slots 1, 2 and 3 have fixed main stats: flat HP, flat ATK, flat DEF. Slots 4, 5 and 6 have variable main stats, and every sub stat is random . Slot 4 offers ATK%, HP%, DEF%, CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG. Slot 5 adds PEN Ratio and elemental DMG bonus. Slot 6 adds Anomaly Mastery, Impact and Energy Regen.
| Slot | Fixed | Variable | Clara pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | HP | - | fixed |
| 2 | ATK | - | fixed |
| 3 | DEF | - | fixed, Vanguard scales on DEF |
| 4 | - | ATK%/HP%/DEF%/CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG | DEF% or CRIT, depending on threshold |
| 5 | - | ATK%/HP%/DEF%/PEN/elemental DMG | Electric DMG bonus first |
| 6 | - | ATK%/HP%/DEF%/Anomaly Mastery/Impact/Energy Regen | Impact if no stunner, else DEF% |
Set bonuses worth knowing
Published numbers for common sets: Woodpecker Electro 2pc CRIT Rate +8%, Woodpecker 4pc grants ATK +9% for 6s on CRIT, up to 3 stacks. Shockstar Disco 2pc Impact +6%, 4pc adds 20% more Daze to the primary target from Basic and Dash attacks. Swing Jazz 2pc Energy Regen +20%, 4pc gives the whole squad +15% DMG for 12s after a Chain Attack or Ultimate. Soul Rock 2pc DEF +15%, 4pc reduces damage taken by 40% with a 15s cooldown.
Clara wants Soul Rock 2pc as the baseline; from there, 4pc sets that keep feeding CRIT or elemental damage are the reasonable target. Whether 3.2 adds a Vanguard-exclusive set is a question for the official notice.
Sub stat priority
DEF% > CRIT Rate (up to the threshold) > CRIT DMG > PEN Ratio. ATK% rolls are worth less than usual here. If one drops, keep it, but do not actively reroll for ATK. And stop rerolling once CRIT Rate passes the conversion point, because the curve flattens.
Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Shiyu Defense Team Comps
| Comp | Role | Setup | Rotation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clara Vanguard | General main DPS | Clara + buffer + stunner | Stun into Daze window, bring the buffer on, then Clara bursts |
| Nangong Yu Anomaly | Cheap second team | Rerun Nangong Yu + Anomaly + sustain | Apply Anomaly, extend Daze with Nangong Yu, main DPS closes |
| CRIT quick-swap | Single target | Clara + CRIT buffer + counter | Counter into skill, two swap cycles, hold the Ultimate for the finish |
Reading the Shiyu Defense environment
Shiyu Defense rotates its environmental buff and its final bosses every cycle, so check the in-game notice for the 3.2 round. The logic does not change: read which element or specialty the buff favors, then choose between Clara and the rerun agent. One fixed team rarely covers everything.
Handling the first week
Numbers on a new agent are still settling during week one. Get Clara to the point where she clears story and dailies, then decide about spending limited materials on Shiyu Defense scores. Run her in normal content first and only commit a W-Engine once the rotation feels comfortable.
Zenless Zone Zero Clara Pulling Advice
| Player | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| New account without a main DPS | Pull | Self-contained at M0, no specific teammate required |
| Account with a finished DPS | Wait | DEF buffers are scarce and the archetype is unfinished |
| Tight monthly pass budget | Prioritize the rerun | Nangong Yu works at M0 with no signature W-Engine |
Material priorities
Character level and core skills first, W-Engine second, perfect Drive Discs last. Sub stats are a long grind through Routine Cleanup, so do not dump every battery into one disc domain on day one.

Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 FAQ
Q: Does ZZZ 3.2 Clara scale on ATK or DEF?
A: DEF. Her damage rides on DEF, so ATK% rolls are low value and Drive Discs should prioritize DEF% and CRIT.
Q: What goes in Clara's Disc 6?
A: Impact if the team lacks a stunner, otherwise DEF%. Slot 6 also rolls Anomaly Mastery and Energy Regen.
Q: Who is on the 3.2 banners?
A: Phase one is Clara (Electric, Vanguard) plus rerun Nangong Yu (Ether, Stun). Phase two is Roxie (Wind, Stun) plus rerun Promeia (Ice, Anomaly).
Q: Is Roxie Physical or Wind?
A: Sources disagree. Early leaks say Physical burst DPS, the version roundup says Wind/Stun. The in-game agent archive is final.
Q: How big is the 3.2 preload?
A: About 6GB on PC and 5GB on mobile .
