Zenless Zone Zero has shared official details on the playset of new S-Rank character Astra Yao ahead of its upcoming 1.5 release.

Zenless Zone Zero has officially revealed the signature W-Engine for character Astra Yao in version 1.5 via their official social media accounts. Astra Yao's Signature W-Engine will boast an impressive 713 base ATK when fully leveled at level 60, with its main substat providing 30% ATK. Her W-Engine's unique effect, 'Untold Beauty', gives the device 5 Energy after using Quick Assist, Chain Attack, Defense Assist, or Evasion Assist. If the user consumes 25 or more energy, it also reduces team-wide damage by 10%, stacking up to twice.

  • Basic ATK: 713
  • ATK: 30%
  • W-Engine Effect: Unspeakable beauty: When any party member enters the field with Quick Aid, Chain Attack, Defensive Aid, or Evasive Aid, gear gains 5 Energy. This effect can trigger once every 5s. When a device consumes 25 or more energy, damage taken by all party members is increased by 10%, stacks up to 2 times, and lasts for 20s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. There can only be one instance of this effect in the same group.

Astra Yao's signature Light Cone looks to provide a strong buff for both “quick swap” support characters and those who rely on their ultimate. Characters like Soukaku and Lucy will likely see significant benefits from the W-Engine, with both characters usually not wanting to be out for long. Astra Yao will see a unique benefit from her W-Engine's unique ability where the character stays on the battlefield and provides bonus effects when using assist moves. The Astra Yao and its signature W-Engine will be released with the version 1.5 update, which will launch later this week on January 22nd.

Zenless Zone ZeroThe version 1.5 update seems to offer plenty of options for players looking to spend their hard-earned polychromes. Along with Astra Yao and her W-Engine, Zenless Zone Zero will also introduce Evelyn as a new Fire Attack character during the second half of the update. The update will also feature two new respawn banners for the first time in the history of the urban action RPG, with Ellen and Qingyi returning to the limited banner. Upon release, Astra Yao will aim to provide a powerful new support option between her unique abilities and the W-Engine.
