ZZZ 2.4 Banner Leaks: Banyue & Dialyn Join the Fight!

Hello, Proxies! Version 2.4 of Zenless Zone Zero opens a new chapter filled with fiery battles, elegant enforcers, and deeper insights into the mysterious Krampus Compliance Authority.

This update not only introduces two long-awaited S-rank agents — Banyue and Dialyn — but also expands the lore with the arrival of the Krampus Black Branch and teases future agents like Zhao. Each new addition sharpens the game’s combat diversity, blending unique mechanics, aesthetics, and storytelling into one explosive release. Let’s take a closer look at everything 2.4 brings to New Eridu.

 

ZZZ 2.4 Banner Overview

First Half	Second Half
Banyue	Dialyn
S-rank Fire / Rupture	S-rank Physical / Stun

 

First Half New Character - Banyue

Banyue bursts onto the scene as a striking “machine monk” in Zenless Zone Zero — an S-rank Fire / Rupture Shīfū from the Krampus Compliance Authority whose calm, meditative poise hides precise, fiery strikes.

Visually he blends monklike beads and armored robotics; narratively he reads like an intelligent construct with a composed, philosophical voice — a character built for disciplined timing rather than chaos.

His kit rewards resource management and timing. Banyue’s core passive scales from his max HP (granting extra HP and attack) and passively regenerates Chi, making him stronger the longer he stays alive and the more Chi he manages.

From the info being leaked, we can know his trigger ability restores 60 Chi when an allied or enemy character is hit and — if conditions are met — grants allies +40% Crit Damage for 30 seconds (a powerful party buff reliant on his being in the correct state).

Banyue’s enhanced state consumes Chi to enter cyclical attack modes: each enhanced attack alternates bonus effects (burst fire damage, healing or follow-up effects), so optimal play alternates Chi regeneration and burst windows to maximise both sustained output and spike damage. Community guides list him as a Fire/Rupture S-rank built around that Chi-toggle playstyle.

 

Second Half New Character - Dialyn

Dialyn is an elegant yet intimidating S-rank Physical / Stun agent working under the Krampus Compliance Authority. Behind her polite “customer service” demeanor lies a strict enforcer who ensures that every “complaint” receives a swift and decisive response. Her design contrasts clean monochrome tones with twin braids and a calm smile — a perfect mask for someone who balances charm with latent threat.

In combat, Dialyn excels at stunning and disrupting enemies, using precise strikes to break defenses and control the pace of battle. Her Physical-type attacks quickly build stun gauges, letting allies unleash devastating follow-ups. Early gameplay data and leaks describe her as a tactical controller, ideal for teams that thrive on timing and coordinated bursts.

Lore fragments hint that Dialyn’s courteous tone hides a cold efficiency — she isn’t just a customer-service worker but the “voice of compliance” within Krampus, turning politeness into punishment. Equal parts grace and menace, she embodies the faction’s philosophy: disciplined order delivered

 

NEW Faction: Krampus Black Branch

Krampus isn't a company, its role is to inspect, decide on, and enforce regulations.

Brutal "competition" is an inherent flaw of the market system. For the members at the Round Table, it doesn't matter if the company's executives are tearing each other apart.

「The business game doesn't always let us play by the rules - that's the Roound Table's mercy. But when those rule-breakers go too far, the strict mother reaches out with her black branch.」

Well, Damian’s last name is Blackwood, This means that he is more more possible to be a spy from Krampus to monitor Porcelumek. And in the S2 preview, Damian is along with Zhao.

 

Upcoming NEW Character - Zhao

Zhao is from Krampus Black Branch the of TOPS Alliance. She has come to Weifei Peninsula on behalf of the Black Branch to conduct a thorough investigation into operational irregularities at Porcelumek, as well as the misconduct of Lucro himself.

Element: Ice | Weapon: Stun

The leaker suggests that Zhao would be an Ice Stun character. Actually, it makes sense, the buff of ZZZ 2.3 Shiyu Defense (last for 2.4) is benefit Stun Agent. And the combat style and mechanic have not leaked yet. Bookmark this page for more latest info.

Zhao’s Weapon Speculation

Seeing from the above Render, she wields a Blade, which is different to the axe in the PV. One proxy theory is that Zhao’s arsenal actually cycles through three distinct forms: a standard blade, an axe, and an ice-infused blade. The microwave render already shows both the plain and ice variants, while the Season 2 teaser gave us the axe. How (or when) she switches between them is still under wraps; we’ll have to wait for her in-game animations to find out.

 

Possible Upcoming Character - Azural

According to leifa, we will have a new character having same size as Ju Fufu, there's no further info about his / her specialty and attribute. 

 

New Bangboos in ZZZ 2.4

Two new Bangboos have also popped up in the 2.4 beta, and their effects are still a mystery—stay tuned to LDShop for the latest updates!

 

En-Nah Chess Legend Reruns

Community leaks and roadmap videos indicate Zenless Zone Zero v2.4 may rerun the “En-Nah Chess Legend” bangboo-chess event.

In this event, players use coins each round to recruit Bangboos or level up their board. Bangboos have bonds and types, and deploying units with matching bonds/types activates buff effects.

There are Story Mode (vs NPCs) and Competitive Mode (PvP), where you compete against other players to climb rankings.

 

NEW Enemy

OMG!!Again? Another fan favored character becomes enemy? I hope ZZZ would make Ye Shunyuan into the Banner in the coming future. This new model just looks great!

 

Conclusion

With Banyue’s disciplined flame techniques, Dialyn’s graceful precision, and the shadow of Krampus Black Branch looming ahead, Version 2.4 delivers both style and depth to Zenless Zone Zero. Whether you’re drawn to fiery offense or tactical control, this update offers fresh ways to craft the perfect squad.
