ZZZ 2.1 banners bring two fresh faces, Yuzuha and Alice, from the brand-new Spook Shack faction
A new faction, the Spook Shack, debuts with ZZZ 2.1’s banners, and one of its members is a support unit for some of the game’s strongest characters. Two of those characters are making their first reruns as well, and HoYoverse is giving out another set of free 10-pulls to help get you going. The ZZZ anniversary might be over, but some of the celebrations carry on nonetheless.
We’ve outlined who’s coming in the ZZZ 2.1 banners below, along with what to expect from the kits of newcomers Yuzuha and Alice.
ZZZ 2.1 banners Phase 1 – Yuzuha and Miyabi
The first part of ZZZ 2.1’s banners kicks off when the version update goes live on July 16, 2025, or late on July 15, depending on your time zone. HoYoverse hasn’t announced any A-rank agents for the banner yet, as usual, but these are the two S-ranks showing up:
Yuzuha’s kit makes her an excellent option for Anomaly or Aftershock teams, the latter of which basically means Soldier 0 Anby teams as of ZZZ 2.1. Yuzuha throws candy bombs that make enemies more susceptible to Anomaly buildup, and her signature ability matches another character’s Anomaly type, so it builds up even more quickly. Damage from this attack also counts as Aftershock, which makes Yuzuha a good fit for Pulchra, Soldier 0 Anby, and Trigger teams.
Miyabi is an Anomaly character who applies two different types of ice Anomaly and turns pretty much any enemy into ribbons. Despite debuting several versions ago, Miyabi is still one of the most powerful characters in ZZZ, and she only needs another Anomaly character to perform exceptionally well.
ZZZ 2.1 banners Phase 2 – Alice and Yanagi
The second phase of ZZZ 2.1 banners takes over three weeks later, on August 6, 2025, and two more Anomaly characters feature in it.
- Alice Thymefield – Physical, Anomaly
- Tsukishiro Yanagai – Electric, Anomaly
The newcomer is Alice Thymefield, a Physical Anomaly agent who amplifies Assault and Disorder damage with her special attacks and Blade Etiquette stacks. Disorder is helpful for any Anomaly team with two different elements, though amplifying Assault is only going to help two other characters in addition to Alice. Yanagi is fantastic at applying Shock, though she takes a little while to get through her combo and works better on a team with off-field supports, such as Vivian.
Also showing up during the 2.1 update is a new S-rank Bangboo, Miss Esme, who restores energy and HP with her ability.
