Zenless Zone Zero 2.7 Banners: Nangong Yu, Cissia, and What’s Actually Confirmed

Zenless Zone Zero version 2.7 is scheduled to release on March 24, 2026, bringing two new S‑Rank agents, Nangong Yu and Cissia, to the live servers on PC, mobile, and PlayStation platforms. Both characters are officially revealed through HoYoverse’s 2.7 drip marketing, while rerun banners remain unconfirmed and should be treated as speculation until the 2.7 special program airs.

If you just want the basics: Nangong Yu is an Ether‑attribute Stun agent expected to headline the first phase banner, and Cissia is an Electric Attack agent expected in the second phase. Their signature S‑Rank W‑Engines are already detailed in pre‑release kit breakdowns, but exact values may still change before the patch goes live.​

Quick overview

Confirmed for Zenless Zone Zero 2.7:

• Version 2.7 release date: March 24, 2026 (around 11:00 UTC+8).

• New S‑Rank agent: Nangong Yu (Ether, Stun; Angels of Delusion).

• New S‑Rank agent: Cissia (Electric, Attack; Metropolitan Order Division).

Expected but not officially locked in:

• Nangong Yu featured in phase 1, Cissia in phase 2, based on drip order and banner guides.

• Reruns such as Harumasa or Orphie & Magus are widely rumored but not confirmed by HoYoverse.​

• Signature W‑Engine numbers are from pre‑release kit data and are subject to change.​

When you plan your pulls, it’s safest to treat the new characters as guaranteed and everything else as “wait for livestream confirmation.”

When does Zenless Zone Zero 2.7 release?

Zenless Zone Zero version 2.7 is expected to release on March 24, 2026, following the end of the 2.6 cycle. Community schedules and official duration notices for 2.6 point to a usual six‑week patch length, with maintenance ending around 11:00 UTC+8 and the new version going live shortly afterward.

You’ll get the exact time and pre‑install details from the in‑game “Version Details” notice and the 2.7 special program, which is projected to air a little over a week before release. Until that broadcast, treat the timing as accurate but still technically provisional.

Who are the new 2.7 characters?

Nangong Yu: Ether stun support from Angels of Delusion

Nangong Yu is officially confirmed as an upcoming playable S‑Rank agent debuting in Zenless Zone Zero version 2.7. She is an Ether‑attribute Stun agent and a member of the Angels of Delusion faction, rounding out that group after Sunna and Aria in version 2.6.

From current kit breakdowns, Nangong Yu is built to:

• Specialize in applying Daze and enabling stun windows as a Stun‑type agent.

• Convert high Anomaly Proficiency into strong impact for Polarity Disorder and team burst setups.​

• Support Ether and Angel of Delusion teams by boosting anomaly buildup and team damage during stun or Polarity Disorder.​

If you enjoy stun‑centric lineups with Aria and Sunna, she’s positioned to be a core pick that both controls enemies and amplifies your main DPS.

Cissia: Electric Attack DPS from Metropolitan Order Division

Cissia was revealed in the second part of the 2.7 drip marketing campaign, confirming that she will join the roster in version 2.7 as an Electric‑attribute Attack agent. She is affiliated with the Metropolitan Order Division and expands the pool of Electric main DPS characters available to you.

Current information suggests she is designed to:

• Serve as a frontline Electric Attack agent who focuses on sustained DPS.​

• Synergize with Electric supports and anomaly enablers that increase Shock or Electric‑related effects.

• Use high‑tempo rotations with strong burst windows linked to Energy use and her signature W‑Engine passive.

If you’ve been waiting for another Electric carry to pair with existing supports, she’s the character to watch in the second half of 2.7.

Expected 2.7 banner phases (and what’s still unconfirmed)

Even though HoYoverse hasn’t published the full banner schedule yet, several reliable banner trackers and official‑style guides outline how 2.7 is likely structured.

Likely banner order

• Phase 1 character banner

  • Featured S‑Rank: Nangong Yu (Ether, Stun).

• Phase 2 character banner

  • Featured S‑Rank: Cissia (Electric, Attack).

This follows HoYoverse’s usual drip order logic: the first character teased typically anchors the first phase, and the second tease follows in phase two.

Rerun banners: what players are talking about

Reruns are where things get murky. Community sources frequently mention:

• Harumasa as an older S‑Rank in line for a rerun.

• Orphie & Magus as a candidate returning around the same window.

However, these are still rumors and pattern‑based predictions, not official announcements. Until the 2.7 special program or in‑client banner previews explicitly show these agents, you should treat all rerun talk as subject to change.​

Signature W‑Engines in version 2.7

2.7 will also introduce new S‑Rank W‑Engines themed around Nangong Yu and Cissia, designed to hard‑lock into their playstyles. Current values come from pre‑release kit data and can still be adjusted, but they give you a good idea of what to expect.​

Nangong Yu’s W‑Engine (Stun type)

Nangong Yu’s signature W‑Engine appears in kit guides as a 5‑star Stun‑type weapon with these core traits:​​

• Approximate base Attack: 713 at level 60.​

• Main stat: Anomaly Mastery (around 30–40%).​​

• Passive highlights:

  • +90 Anomaly Proficiency baseline.​

  • When she deals Ether damage with Basic or EX Special Attacks, the whole squad’s damage increases by 15% for 40 seconds, stacking up to 2 times.​

  • At 2 stacks, she gains an additional +60 Anomaly Proficiency, for a total of +150 from the passive.​

Cissia’s W‑Engine (Attack type)

Cissia’s signature W‑Engine is listed as a 5‑star Attack‑type weapon focused on Energy and defense ignore.

• Approximate base Attack: 714 at high level.

• Main stat: roughly 60% Energy Regeneration, enabling frequent bursts.

• Passive highlights:

  • +20% Crit Damage at all times.

  • When she consumes at least 20 Energy in a single instance, she gains a buff that lets her ignore about 40% of the target’s Defense when dealing Electric damage, lasting 3 seconds per 20 Energy used and extendable up to 30 seconds.

  • Entering Assist state grants this defense‑ignore buff for 10 seconds, and the buff timer pauses while she is off‑field.

For Electric teams, that combination of Energy, Crit Damage, and defense ignore is a clear signal that Cissia is meant to be a main DPS that thrives in fast rotations.

Should you pull Nangong Yu or Cissia?

Here’s a quick way to think about your pulls based on what is confirmed so far.

if you already built Aria and Sunna during 2.6 and enjoy stun‑lock setups, pulling Nangong Yu plus her W‑Engine will likely give you the biggest upgrade to your current account. If instead your box leans heavily into Electric units, Cissia and her weapon will feel more immediately impactful.

How to prepare your account for 2.7

While you wait for the official livestream, there are a few low‑risk prep steps you can take that don’t rely on unconfirmed rerun rumors.

1. Save premium currency and tickets for at least one full pity for a limited S‑Rank.

2. Farm Ether and Electric‑friendly disc sets you can hand off to Nangong Yu or Cissia on day one.

3. Clear current 2.6 events and commissions before March 24, 2026, to avoid overlap and lost rewards.​

4. Watch for the 2.7 special program date and note any livestream codes for extra pulls.

5. Hold your final banner decisions until you’ve seen the official rerun lineup and full kit showcases.​
