Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Banners: My Pull Plan and Honest Breakdown

I’ve been living in New Eridu long enough to know that banner season always hits like a truck. And let me tell you, Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 is stacked. The first phase kicks off on September 9, 2026, and runs for 21 days. That’s three weeks to decide whether I’m going all-in on a brand-new Armorer or a Stun support who bends Anomaly teams into absolute monsters. As a day-one player who chases meta but still pulls for fun, I’ve been digging through the kits, and here’s my honest breakdown.

Phase 1: Claret and Nangong Yu

Phase 1 gives us two S-Rank Agents: Claret and Nangong Yu. On paper, they couldn’t be more different. Claret is the first S-Rank Electric Armorer, and her whole identity revolves around Sharp Damage, Gash Values, and her Crimson Inscription state. Here’s the kicker: all of her damage scales off Defense instead of Attack. That’s a wild curveball, and I’m here for it.

Claret’s Sharp Damage builds Gash Values on enemies. Once they hit the threshold, they get the Gash status, up to three stacks. Every time Gash lands, Claret gains a stack of Personal Resources that boosts her damage. Her crit hits also work differently: instead of normal crit calculations, they become Laceration DMG, which checks her Critical Rate. The more crit rate she has over 100%, the more likely she is to trigger extra Laceration instances. When she consumes Sharp value on her EX Special Attack hit, she enters Crimson Inscription, which cranks her damage and crit rate and unlocks special moves. It’s a lot of moving parts, but the payoff looks juicy.

My pull rating for Claret is 8/10. She’s an interesting investment, no doubt. But here’s the thing: she’s the first of her class, and there’s no track record of Armorers performing well long-term. She might be a future meta staple, or she might be a puzzle piece that doesn’t quite fit yet. If you’re a theorycrafter who loves building around weird gimmicks, she’s your girl. If you need a plug-and-play DPS right now, I’d pump the brakes. Pull smart, not hard.

Nangong Yu, on the other hand, feels like a no-brainer for Anomaly enjoyers. She’s an S-Rank Ether Stun Agent and the last member of the Angels of Delusion. The twist? She scales off Anomaly Proficiency instead of Impact, which is unusual for a stunner. Her kit is built around Downbeat Points, charged Basic Attacks, and enabling Abloom effects for the team. She can consume Downbeat Points to deal more hits and more Daze, and she gains those points over time or when allies trigger Attribute Anomaly effects.

After stunning enemies, whenever the team triggers Abloom, Attribute Anomaly, or Disorder, Nangong Yu applies a stack of Vibrato. At four stacks, when enemies recover from stagger, they eat a massive burst of Abloom damage. Her Additional Ability also gives the whole team extra Attribute Anomaly buildup when hitting stunned enemies. On top of that, she gains Dance Prowess stacks while enemies are stunned, and she can spend them to trigger Disorder on enemies under both stun and anomaly effects. If Aria is in the team, that effect gets even better. I’m giving her a 9/10. She’s one of the most powerful Anomaly enablers and supports in the game right now, and she’s the kind of unit that makes your whole roster look cracked.

Phase	Agent	Element	Specialty	My Pull Rating
1	Claret	Electric	Armorer	8/10
1	Nangong Yu	Ether	Stun	9/10
2	Roxy Pryce	Wind	Stun	8/10
2	Promeia	Ice	Anomaly	9/10

Phase 2: Roxy Pryce and Promeia

Phase 2 starts right after Phase 1 and runs until the end of the 3.2 Update, lasting another 21 days. First up is Roxy Pryce, an S-Rank Wind Stun Agent who specializes in explosive Wind damage and filling the Daze gauge fast. Her EX Special summons a tornado that she can maintain with energy. It sucks in enemies, deals continuous Wind damage, and builds Daze. The longer it stays, the more damage and energy it consumes. Once she releases it, she spends Wind Energy to fire multiple rounds of Wind explosions, and those explosions spawn small tornados that track enemies. It’s chaotic, flashy, and exactly the kind of AoE stun pressure I like.

Roxy gets an 8/10 from me. She’s a decently powerful Stun Agent with amazing AoE damage, and she’s simple enough for new and old players to use. If you’re tired of chasing every enemy around the arena, her tornado says, ‘sit down and take it.’

Promeia is the returning S-Rank Ice Anomaly Agent, and she’s all about Frostbite stacks and Frost Sentence. She builds Frostbite stacks through her attacks and gains more when she or her allies trigger Attribute Anomaly effects. At 50 stacks, she converts them into a Frost Sentence stack, up to two. When enemies already have another element’s Anomaly effect, she can spend a Frost Sentence to trigger Abloom, deal big damage, and recover Decibels. Her EX follow-ups also let her perform different tricks depending on which ability she chains from. She’s a 9/10 for me: a powerful Anomaly Agent who deals amazing Abloom damage, and she stands out from other Ice DPS options like Miyabi. Her gameplay is easy to understand, and her damage is high, so she’s a great pickup if your meta DPS roster is looking thin.

My Final Pull Plan

So, where does that leave me? I’m prioritizing Nangong Yu first because she future-proofs Anomaly teams and feels like the safest bang for my buck. Promeia is a close second because Abloom damage is clearly here to stay. Claret is my wild card; I might toss a few pulls her way, but I’m not emptying my wallet on day one. Roxy is tempting for AoE stun, but I already have solid stunners, so she’s a luxury pull for me.

My advice? Don’t let FOMO drive the bus. Check your roster, decide which playstyle you actually enjoy, and save for the W-Engines too. I’m already budgeting my Polychromes and keeping an eye on the calendar. September 9, 2026 is going to be a busy day in New Eridu, and I plan to be ready. 😎
