ZZZ Top Up

Patch 2.7 adds two roster-defining agents to Zenless Zone Zero: **Nangong Yu**, an S-Rank Ether Stun who supercharges Anomaly teams through extended stun windows and Disorder amplification, and **Ye Shunguang**, the Physical burst DPS from 2.5 who still dominates Void Hunter content. The two strongest squads right now are **Aria + Nangong Yu + Sunna** and **Ye Shunguang + Dialyn + Zhao**. Here's how to build both correctly.

Version 2.7 launches March 24, 2026 with two S-Rank debuts: Nangong Yu (Ether Stun, Phase 1) and Cissia (Electric Attack, Phase 2). F2P players can realistically earn 26,000–30,000 Polychrome across the full patch — roughly enough for 1–2 guaranteed pulls. If you only have budget for one: pull Nangong Yu if you're running Angels of Delusion teams with Aria or Sunna; save for Cissia if Electric DPS is your priority. Here's the full math.

Chronicle of Simmering Flavors runs **March 25 – May 5, 2026** in Zenless Zone Zero 2.7. Help Blaze manage the Simmer Hot Pot restaurant in Lumina Square, hit score thresholds through smart ingredient combos, and walk away with **1,100 Polychrome, a free A-Rank Stun W-Engine (The Simmering Pot), and a stack of upgrade materials**. Nothing is missable if you start before mid-April.

The strongest Zenless Zone Zero teams for March 2026 are three squads: **Yixuan + Ju Fufu + Lucia** for Ether Rupture, **Miyabi + Yanagi + Yuzuha** for Frost Disorder, and **Evelyn + Dialyn + Astra** for Physical Chain. All three are clearing Shiyu Defense floors 12–15 in 60–90 seconds at M0. Community testing has confirmed S+ status across the board. If you're building a dual-squad roster right now, start here.

Chronicle of Simmering Flavors runs **March 25 to May 5, 2026** in ZZZ Version 2.7. Complete everything and you're looking at **900 confirmed Polychrome** (community estimates reach 1,100 — more on that gap below), a free **A-Rank Stun W-Engine called The Simmering Pot**, Battle Pass EXP, and a pile of upgrade materials. The first three days have time-gated unlocks. Miss them and you're already behind.

Lucy is worth it if you run Fire or Physical teams and lack a reliable off-field ATK support. Community polling places her Tier 0 (SS) with 352 votes — she delivers a 600 flat ATK buff with minimal field time, and her Guard Boars keep working while your DPS is active. Phase 2 goes live April 2, 2026. The All-New Program login event closes April 22, so that's your real deadline for free tape rewards.
