As a dedicated Proxy navigating the chaotic streets of New Eridu, I'm thrilled to share the exciting details from the recent Zenless Zone Zero Version 2.6 livestream. The update promises a grand celebration, profound story conclusions, and the dazzling debut of new idols. Right from the start, we're greeted with a generous gift: a special redemption code, DREAMINGANGEL, which grants 300 Polychromes, 2 Senior Investigator Logs, 3 W-Engine Energy Modules, and 30,000 Denny. Remember, this code expires on February 1st, 2026, so don't wait to claim your rewards!

This update marks a significant narrative milestone. We'll finally experience the aftermath and epilogue of the intense Waifei Peninsula story arc, bringing closure to the second main story chapter. Simultaneously, the vibrant Carrot Day festival sweeps through New Eridu, offering a lighter, celebratory tale featuring our favorite characters. To accompany these stories, brand new areas and adversaries await, demanding exploration and challenging our combat skills. It's essential to prepare our teams to fully immerse ourselves in this rich narrative patch.

Of course, the heart of any update lies in its new Agents. Version 2.6 introduces two spectacular S-Rank members of the virtual idol group, the Angels of Delusion.

  • Sunna is an S-Rank Physical Support Agent. As an idol whose voice moves hearts, she translates that power into battle by significantly boosting the damage output of her fellow Angels of Delusion and other Physical-element Attack or Rupture Specialty Agents who utilize Ether Veil.

  • Aria is an S-Rank Ether Anomaly Agent with a unique duality. She can seamlessly switch between human and android forms. Her kit focuses on triggering powerful Abloom effects whenever allies inflict Anomaly statuses on enemies, elevating the damage of entire Anomaly-focused teams while dealing substantial damage herself.
