Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Second Half: Roxy and Polychrome Plan

Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 banner timeline
Zenless Zone Zero both Signal Search phases
| Phase | Dates | New agent | Rerun | W-Engine |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First half | 9–30 September | Claret (Electric, new specialisation) | Astra-type support rerun (Nangong Yu) | Crimson Desire |
| Second half | 30 September – 20 October | Roxy (Wind, Stun) | Proxima (Ice, Anomaly) | Crimson Moon Coffin |
The patch itself runs to 21 October, so the second half is the last banner window of 3.2.
Zenless Zone Zero three things to finish before the switch
- The 14-day login campaign ("Surprise Screening Project"): missing a day cannot be recovered by playing twice later.
- "Angel Support Battle" free outfit selection (Qianxia, Airi, Nangong Yu): requires Inter-Knot level 20 and Chapter 1 interlude completion.
- One-off event rewards such as "Pinball Hero", these pay more Polychrome than dailies, and skipping them is real currency lost.

Zenless Zone Zero Roxy: does the Wind stun slot matter
Zenless Zone Zero what a stun unit is worth this patch
Shiyu Defense and Deadly Assault both rotate three separate buff-and-enemy sets during 3.2, so a stun agent's value depends entirely on whether the current rotation rewards Wind or stun archetypes. Read the current buff tags first, then decide whether to pull, not the other way round.
Zenless Zone Zero how reliable the Roxy info is
Confirmed: Wind element, Stun role, entering the second-half banner on 30 September Not confirmed publicly: skill multipliers, core passive thresholds and team-wide buff values. Until official notes and hands-on testing land, multiplier claims circulating in comment sections are not quotable.
Zenless Zone Zero reruns: is Proxima still worth it
Zenless Zone Zero Proxima's role
Proxima is the core Ice Anomaly damage dealer and performs consistently in Ice Anomaly buff environments. If the back half of 3.2 hands out Ice Anomaly buff tags in Shiyu Defense, the rerun is clearly better value than it would be in a neutral rotation.
Zenless Zone Zero picking between two banners
- Account lacks a main damage dealer: take the new agent, since a carry sets your floor everywhere.
- Two reliable carries already built: fill the system gap, meaning the stun or Anomaly slot.
- Fewer than 90 pulls saved: skip both and keep saving to the pity line.
Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Polychrome ledger
Zenless Zone Zero recurring versus one-off income
| Type | Content | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Recurring | Dailies, weeklies, Inter-Knot level tasks | Accrues with days; missed days are gone |
| One-off | New Broadcast, Surprise Screening, Pinball Hero, virtual-scenery events | Hard deadlines; clear before the switch |
| Structural | Shiyu Defense and Deadly Assault rotations | Pick teams around current buff tags; drop a tier if underbuilt |
Zenless Zone Zero do not carry Polychrome into the next patch
Banner targeting does not carry into the next agent's banner, so holding Polychrome to the last day of 3.2 only forfeits the second-half window. The safer routine is to clear one-off events on switch day, count what you actually have, then commit.

Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 story and new map progress
Zenless Zone Zero chapter unlock requirement
3.2 opens main story season 3 chapter 3 "Their Secret Histories", which requires completing chapter 2 "A Long Farewell" first Players who already used the early-access preview can push straight into the live story.
Zenless Zone Zero the three Verium districts
Three new areas arrive, Verium City Zone, Golden Research Institute and Hidden Reef Transit Station, unlocked as the story advances. Exploration players should note the districts carry weekly commission tasks, so opening the map in the final week of the patch means missing weekly cycles.
Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 mistakes and sourcing notes
Zenless Zone Zero three mistakes before the switch
The most expensive one is skipping the login chain. The 14-day campaign pays out in sequence, and a single missed day removes the later rewards for that segment. Setting a daily reminder for the rest of the patch costs nothing and is worth more than any optimised team.
The second is treating second-half leaks as settled numbers. Roxy's element and role are confirmed by version roundups, but multipliers, passive thresholds and team buff values are not public. Building a resource plan around a leaked multiplier usually means rebuilding it twice.
The third is spending Polychrome on a banner you cannot finish. Pulling without reaching the pity line mostly builds progress for a future banner while leaving you without the agent you wanted. If the count is not there by switch day, waiting for the next banner is the correct answer, not "one more ten-pull".
Zenless Zone Zero where these figures come from
Patch dates, the specialisation name and the two-phase banner split come from 3.2 version roundups published by community trackers and games media between 2 and 9 September 2026, not from an official English-language announcement. The 90-pull pity figure and the 21 October patch end date follow standard in-game conventions and the version timeline respectively.
This distinction matters: the guide states plainly which parts are official and which are third-party, so nothing here should be quoted as an official statement. Check the in-game Signal Search rules screen for banner inheritance details before making a decision, and keep the GameHub guide hub bookmarked for the revision after the second-half banners go live.
Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 FAQ
Q: When does the Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 second half start?
A: 30 September, with the first half ending the same day. The second half runs to 20 October and the patch to 21 October.
Q: Are Roxy's multipliers public?
A: Not fully. Multipliers and thresholds should be taken from official notes and in-game testing; this guide does not speculate.
Q: Is the new-player self-select reward still available?
A: Yes. The 3.2 beginner's guide offers one selectable limited S-rank agent plus a matching S-rank W-Engine, the fastest fix for a new account missing a carry.
Q: Should I pull the second half without reaching pity?
A: No. The pity line sits around 90 pulls; short of that, most pulls only build pity. Clear the one-off events first and re-check.
Q: Does switching banners reset pity progress?
A: Check the in-game Signal Search rules screen. Inheritance rules are documented there; do not act on second-hand claims.
