The moment the 2.5 Anniversary update for Zenless Zone Zero dropped on August 19, 2026, I knew the Exclusive Rescreening banner would rearrange my pull plans entirely. Instead of the usual single‑rate‑up rerun, this banner hands you a choice between three returning S‑Rank Agents, each one as distinct as a brushstroke in an ink painting. You pick your desired target, and the gacha switches its rules: your first S‑Rank pull is guaranteed to be that Agent, the first 10‑pull comes with a 20% discount, and you can freely change your selection as the banner runs. The same elegant mechanic applies to the accompanying W‑Engine banner, which holds their signature weapons. It feels like being given a master key that opens only the door you point it toward.
Dialyn – the domino queen
Dialyn is a Physical Stun agent who operates like the first tile in a carefully arranged domino cascade. Every strike she lands builds the enemy’s daze gauge while simultaneously charging her Positive Feedback meter. Once that meter overflows, she enters the Get Lost state, and from that point onward, any Chain Attack that follows hers triggers the next ally’s Ultimate without consuming a single Decibel. It is the sort of chain reaction that can collapse a boss’s health bar in seconds. Her personal damage and stagger‑building speed are already top‑tier, but her true genius is letting your carry unload a free Ultimate every rotation – an ability that, for many team compositions, feels as game‑changing as a conductor suddenly handing the soloist a second wind.
Pull rating: 10/10. Dialyn is, without exaggeration, one of the strongest universal stunners in the game. If you skip her, you are effectively silencing half of your team’s burst potential.
Yuzuha – the catalyst spark
Yuzuha is a Physical Support who works like the match that lights a campfire: she is not the bonfire itself, but nothing roars to life without her. Her playstyle is refreshingly direct – take the field, pile on Physical damage to max the enemy’s Attribute Anomaly gauge almost instantly, trigger Assault, then Quick Assist out to a teammate who can detonate a Disorder. Even when she is off‑field, her anomaly buffs continue to pour through the squad like a slow‑drip nutrient feeding every root in the garden. She is a compact, purpose‑built engine for anomaly teams, and her ability to force Quick Assist windows adds a layer of tempo control that few supports can match.
Pull rating: 8/10. For anomaly‑focused accounts, Yuzuha is a plug‑and‑play gem. Her value dips slightly outside those compositions, but within them she is virtually irreplaceable.
Harumasa – the precision arrow
Harumasa is an Electric Attack agent whose damage output feels like firing an arrow through a keyhole: when it lands, the impact is devastating, but the margin for error is paper‑thin. He revolves around Electric Quills that spawn when he uses certain attacks or when enemies are stunned or under an anomaly. Up to six quills hover in the field, and holding his Basic Attack marks a target so Harumasa can dash through them, consuming quills for amplified damage. At full investment and with all Potential unlocked, his single‑target bursts are genuinely impressive, yet the modern Abyss often throws waves of enemies that dilute his focus. The high mechanical ceiling makes every mistake punishing, like a watchmaker’s screwdriver that strips the thread if your hand trembles.
Pull rating: 6/10. Harumasa is a strong, flawed DPS. Unless his playstyle truly sings to you or you collect his character for love, there are more forgiving and broadly effective attackers available.
The signature W‑Engines – turning the key
Each agent’s signature W‑Engine mirrors their role and elevates it. The choice here is just as important as the agent itself.
Dialyn’s engine restores energy while she is off‑field and stacks a team‑wide 30% CRIT DMG buff when she deals Physical EX Special damage. It transforms her from a stunner into a full‑squad buffer, making her rotations even more lethal. 10/10 for Dialyn, a mere stat stick for anyone else.
Yuzuha’s engine raises her Anomaly Mastery after dealing Physical EX Special or Ultimate damage, and her Aftershocks grant the entire team Anomaly Proficiency. It is the liquidity injector for an anomaly squad – selfless, efficient, and perfectly tailored. 10/10 for Yuzuha, very niche for other agents.
Harumasa’s engine grants a base 10% CRIT Rate, another 10% when an ally triggers an anomaly or stun, and a 40% boost to Dash Attack Electric DMG. It smoothes his crit ratios and sharpens his quill bursts, though it does not fully solve his AoE limitations. 10/10 for Harumasa, a decent universal ATK option for other characters thanks to the easy‑to‑trigger CRIT buffs.
Final impressions
This Exclusive Rescreening banner is a rare crossroads where the path you pick genuinely matters. Dialyn stands out as the universal recommendation – her free Ultimate trigger is a mechanic that reshapes entire teams. Yuzuha is a specialist’s delight, and Harumasa, while capable, demands a level of precision that may not suit every Proxy. Whichever door you unlock, the 20% first‑pull discount and the guaranteed first S‑Rank make this anniversary rerun one of the most player‑friendly opportunities we’ve seen in 2026. Just be sure to decide where your account needs to go before the banner fades – because a key like this is not handed out twice a year.
