Is Hoshimi Miyabi Missing in Patch 1.4? What Happened to Her Release?

Recommended Posts

Zenless Zone Zero players are starting to worry: it looks like Hoshimi Miyabi might not be coming in Patch 1.4 after all.

Yesterday, the official Zenless Zone Zero Twitter account revealed Asaba Harumasa, one of the new characters expected in the upcoming patch.

Normally, this would be followed by the reveal of the second banner character the next day, but instead, Hoyoverse has only showcased Yanagi's new W-Engine today. This lack of a second character announcement is making fans increasingly concerned that Miyabi will be absent from Patch 1.4.

This is especially surprising considering that Hoyoverse has recently been making visual design changes to Miyabi's in-game model as shown in a recent livestream.

It's common for Hoyoverse games to begin rerunning in their 1.4 patches. Honkai Star Rail introduced its first rerun in Patch 1.4 with Seele, and Genshin Impact featured exclusively rerun banners of popular characters Childe and Venti in its own version 1.4. This trend suggests that Zenless Zone Zero may be taking a similar approach, which could mean that a rerun banner is on the way instead of a second new character.

One popular theory circulating among the community is that Ellen Joe might be making her first return in Patch 1.4. If this is the case, it would fit the pattern of reruns seen in other Hoyoverse games. This also raises interesting possibilities for Patch 1.5—if Miyabi debuts then, players could see two Ice DPS characters releasing back-to-back, which might significantly impact team-building and powercreep.

Another idea spreading is simply that Miyabi will instead be announced at a later date, such as after the weekend or in the patch 1.4 livestream itself. Let us know your thoughts!

I read that apparently they do not announce character's on weekends and that Asaba Harumasa was announce earlier than "usual" due to the way the patch cycle would line up. By following their "usual" announcement pattern (And taking this weekend into account) whoever may be the second character to drop in 1.4 would not be announced until AFTER Burnice's banner ends; which would be a bit too odd, so instead they dropped Asaba earlier than usual and should hopefully reveal the next character on Monday so that people still have 1 work-day left to decide on Burnice with the knowledge of who will drop in 1.4

Personally I'd not mind if they did not drop 2 new characters as I'd not want to see ZZZ end up like Genshin; Having a ton of excess characters that kinda has no real home in teams due to there always being "better options" and some characters not having seen re-runs in like a year and a half.

Personally i'd love a slow down on the S-Rank characters and instead use that time to make more A-Rank's. The game has a real lack of them currently which while great for mindscape collecting does mean theres less variety on banners. 

Going the support route like Soukaku would then be ideal as a DPS A-Rank would be not worth it, but Genshin has done really well recently with 4-Stars with the likes of Kuki, Gaming, Chevreuse, Faruzan which are more dedicated to specific setups where they shine.

      New Zenless Zone Zero 2.1 beta leaks reveal changes made to Yuzuha's kit and some multiplier adjustments. Here is what you need to know!
      The latest Zenless Zone Zero leaks showcase a lot of changes made to Yuzuha's kit and multipliers. Yuzuha is an upcoming Physical Support Agent and should release during 2.1! 
      You can take a look at the original post on Reddit for all the changes:
      Here are the main points you should remember:
      Normal Attack:  The accumulated attribute abnormal accumulation value of the Normal Attack: Colorful Fireworks does not count for abnormal damage calculation. The attribute abnormal accumulation efficiency of Normal Attack Colorful Fireworks attack is increased Special: The Quick Support effect has an invincible effect during the activation of the move The Sweet Fright state lasts for more seconds Additional Ability:  Each point of abnormal control will increase the attribute abnormal accumulation efficiency of all team characters by 0.2%, up to 20%, and it will also increase the attribute abnormal damage and disorder damage of all team characters. Core Skill: maximum points required down from 3000 to 1200 for her Attack buff to all team characters. The multipliers also changed as follows:


      Yuzuha basically boosts ATK and Anomaly Proficiency for the entire team while also dealing damage from off-field. She is most effective alongside Anomaly agents, but she can still work well as a support for other team setups too.
      As always, keep in mind that those are just leaked information, and anything can still change regarding her kit until she releases.

      A new Version 2.1 leak shows Alice's core skill getting a significant overhaul in Zenless Zone Zero. Here's what's changing and how it may affect her gameplay.
      Zenless Zone Zero Version 2.1 leaks continue, and this time, they shed light on major changes coming to Alice, one of the upcoming playable characters.
      According to the latest info (V4), Alice's Core Passive: Sword Heart Double Rainbow is getting a major rework, and the leaked side-by-side comparison highlights just how much is being fine-tuned.

      The image shows the old version in red and the new rework in green, with the following key information you should pay attention to:
      The damage multiplier for enemies affected by Disorder is now increased by up to 180% Sword Instrument System Overhaul: Alice now restores 15 points of Sword Instrument when she applies a Strong Strike The upper limit of Sword Instrument is 300 points, and each 100 points is one grid Starlight Waltz Finish: When Alice finishes her 3-stage Normal Attack, a special Polarity Strong Strike triggers automatically, dealing full damage  More Efficient Accumulation: When Alice uses a Strong Strike, her physical abnormality accumulation efficiency increases by 25% for 30 seconds Alice is now better suited to quickswap-focused playstyles, similar to how some players already use characters like Miyabi. When performing a charged basic attack, you can switch to another agent and continue dealing damage or building energy, instead of passively waiting out the animation.
      With her rework encouraging more frequent use of charged basics, Alice now fits naturally into that rhythm. For example:
      With Miyabi, you can alternate charged basics between the two for constant pressure and efficient buildup. With Yanagi, the focus shifts more toward building up and triggering her EX Special or Ultimate at the right moments. While Alice still works well with Agents like Burnice or Vivian, and the changes do benefit those pairings too, the impact is more obvious with Miyabi and Yanagi, thanks to how their kits synergize with her reworked mechanics.

      Early leaks for ZZZ 2.1 reveal a new beach area and summer skins for upcoming agents Alice and Yuzuha. Here's your first look!
      Leaks from the closed beta for Zenless Zone Zero 2.1 hint that we will soon explore a very sunny beach zone, filling the game with summer vibes and new content! You can take a look at the zone in the first few leaks shared on Reddit:
      On top of that, previously, we expected only our dear Proxies Belle and Wise to get swimsuits this update. But recent leaks now show that the new S-rank agents, Yuzuha and Alice, will also receive beach-themed outfits at launch!
      You can get a first look at the visuals of both characters in their swimsuits:
      Yuzuha looks like she was inspired by Kairi from Kingdom Hearts, with a light pink swimsuit and a little Duck. You can get a full look on this Reddit Post.
      Alice also gets a light pink suit with some very cute accessories. A full look is available on the following Reddit post as well.
      As always, keep in mind that those are only leaks, and the skins can still change upon release. On top of that, while Belle and Wise's skin should be given for free, it is currently unknown if Alice and Yuzuha's skins will be available through an event or only to buy through the in-game shop.
      One thing is sure, Zenless Zone Zero's 2.1 update looks like it will give us a small break for the summer!
