A Mecha Bangboo appears in Zenless Zone Zero! What does it mean, and could it hint at an upcoming unique character? Here's what you need to know!
A recent leak has revealed a video showcasing Mecha Bangboo in Zenless Zone Zero. The footage, shared by Flying Flame, hints at a potential event in the upcoming Version 2.0 update. You can take a look at the original video here:
Notably, the video features a giant Bangboo robot fighting enemies. This is leading to speculation about the introduction of a new character named Seed.
Seed was previously spotted in the Season 2 trailer, where the character's imposing presence caught the attention of many players. If you need a refresher, here is Seed:

The recent leak suggests that the Mecha Bangboo event could serve as a preview to Seed's official start. It would not be the first time that HoYoverse uses an event to test out new mechanics for an upcoming system or character! So this could essentially be a preview of Seed's gameplay!
Players are also debating on whether Seed is a sentient robot or piloted by an individual. Some in-game dialogues and past events have referred to Seed using feminine pronouns, adding to the intrigue surrounding the character's identity. We also know they're part of the Obol Squad.
More information about the Mecha Bangboo event will most likely be revealed on Friday during the Special Program for 2.0.

Latest Beta leaks revealed how to get Miyabi's upcoming skin, as well as a first look into the Proxy customization, 2.0 map, and new puzzles!
With version 2.0 right around the corner, the latest leaks are revealing plenty of exciting new content and features for Zenless Zone Zero! Here's a breakdown of the latest information we've managed to gather for you.
First of all, one of the biggest features everyone is eagerly awaiting for Season 2 is the ability to customize the Proxy's skin. Previous leaks revealed that we'll be able to unlock various accessories and customization options for our Proxy. The latest leaks showcased Belle and Wise's first skins, which feature them without their jackets!
You can take a look at both leaks here:
Belle without Jacket Wise without Jacket Additionally, Miyabi is also set to receive a skin for 2.0! However, unlike the Proxy's skins, which will likely be obtainable through quests or events, Miyabi's skin seems to be tied to a cumulative recharge or consumption activity. This would mean acquiring it through a recharge event or something similar.
You can take a look at the leak here:
But skins aren't the only thing coming with 2.0! There's also a look at an intriguing new puzzle-solving gameplay mechanic here:
And finally, if you're wondering what the new map system will look like, here's a first look at it:

Hugo Vlad joined the Zenless Zone Zero roster, and we updated our Tier List accordingly! Find out if the latest attack agent is as strong as we hoped for or not? 
Hugo Vlad has just been released in Zenless Zone Zero, and he's already making a major impact. We have updated our Tier List to reflect the latest rankings, but where does Hugo land?
His powerful Ice-based abilities and swift scythe combos make him a must-pull for any player looking to dominate the battlefield. If you don't have Miyabi, he's an excellent replacement for an Ice squad with strong Stun capabilities.
Notably, Hugo's arrival has not affected the rankings of other characters, keeping the rest of the roster stable from Phase 1 of Version 1.7. His damage output is equivalent to Miyabi's, which places him right alongside her in the list.
If you want to know more about Hugo's exact rank and the reasons behind it, check out our updated Tier List for Zenless Zone Zero:

Alongside Hugo, you can also check out Lighter's rank if you were planning on pulling him during his current re-run!

Hugo Vlad is now available in Zenless Zone Zero! Learn about his abilities, banner details, and his best builds and team compositions!
Hugo Vlad has officially joined the roster in Zenless Zone Zero as of today, May 14, 2025. This marks the launch of Phase 2 of Version 1.7, featuring Hugo's exclusive banner. The banner went live at 12:00 PM server time! 
Hugo is an S-Rank Ice Attack Agent from the Mockingbird faction. He is known for his swift scythe attacks and powerful Ice-based abilities. He is a powerful Ice DPS with the ability to buff himself depending on the amount of Stun agents in his team. Not only that, but he can also deal a good amount of Daze, despite being an attack agent. His Scythe has a wide range, allowing you to hit enemies that are not directly close to you.
Hugo Vlad is a main DPS, and an insanely strong one on top of it. He functions mainly through stun mechanics and his burst DMG window. When you use 2 Stun Agents in your squad, Hugo's ATK increases massively. When your finishing move of your Ex Special Attack hits an enemy, Hugo enters the Totalize effect, which increases the DMG multiplier of the Finishing Move. On top of that, the Totalize effect further increases the skill's DMG multiplier based on the remaining Stun time you had on the enemy when Totalize was triggered.
Hugo is also rather easy to build: he does not require any brand-new Drive Discs, and if you farmed older ones you may already have a good set for him. 
Regarding his W-Engines, while his signature gives him a massive boost, he has perfectly viable F2P options.
Finally, his best teams consist of 2 Stun agents, if you want to get the most out of his personal buffs.
