Silver Soldier Anby: A Stunning Evolution from A-Rank to S-Rank
Silver Soldier Anby is the first advanced character in Zenless Zone Zero, originally an A-Rank member of the starting trio with an Electric Breaker role. In Version 1.6, she will debut as an S-Rank limited character, transitioning from a supportive Breaker role to a powerful Electric DPS, making her a key damage dealer in this update.
From the official artwork and voice lines, Silver Soldier Anby’s outfit returns to her former combat style, evoking memories for Neku, the boss of the Rabbit & Bear shop. Her motivation for fighting is not fame or fortune but to protect the citizens of the city, showcasing her sense of responsibility as a frontline warrior.
According to Seele Leak, her skill effect and overall additional capabilities including basic and special attacks will be significantly enhanced in Version 1.6.1.
Trigger: The Iron Will of a Sniper
Trigger is another S-Rank character set to be released in the second half of Version 1.6. In the storyline, she helps rescue Soldier 11 while discussing psychological reports. This highlights their close working relationship and trust within the team.
As a sniper, she excels in long-range combat and has demonstrated her piercing power by shooting through enemy shields. Similar to Qingyi, Trigger’s role is an Electric Breaker, but his mechanics lean more toward quick-swap burst damage. Besides, her ability of dodg automatically and additional attacks accompanied by teammates give her a wider range of applications in the future. And she is likely paired with agents like Silver Soldier Anby who occupy the output position for a long time.
Trigger’s motto, “Grant peace to the living, speak for the dead,” reflects his unwavering resolve as a soldier. His mysterious past remains largely unknown, even to his teammate No. 11, adding an intriguing layer to his character.
In Version 1.6.1, the name of the dodge and assist will be changed as well as the mechanism, which will be relatively similar to Burnice in terms of the energy system.
Pulchra: A New Member of the Calydon Children
Pulchra is a new A-rank character in Version 1.6, specializing in Physical Breaker abilities. As a Felinid, her appearance is more beast-like than Catnap’s, which might take some players time to get used to. Nevertheless, her addition brings the total number of playable characters in the Calydon Children faction to six, making it the largest group in the game.
Pulchra’s arrival has sparked mixed reactions within the Calydon Children. Caesar, the group’s leader, welcomes her with open arms, while Lucy remains cautious about the new member. These interactions add depth to the faction’s dynamics and story.
As Pulchra is an A-Rank agent, she plays an important role as the substitute for Trigger, and it is relatively easy to hit M6.
Character Design and Story Prospects
The character designs in Version 1.6 continue Zenless Zone Zero’s tradition of high-quality creativity. Silver Soldier Anby’s evolved form, Trigger’s sniper aesthetic, and Pulchra’s beast-like appearance all highlight the development team’s dedication to creating diverse and memorable characters.
From a narrative perspective, the return of Silver Soldier Anby and the introduction of Trigger seem to hint at an impending conflict. Their voice lines and backstories lay the groundwork for future plot developments, leaving players eager for more.
About Next Banners
In Version 1.7, a new organization -- Mockingbird will enter the scene. And without question, its members, Hugo and Vivienne, are the most eagerly awaited playable characters.
Hugo
Hugo is a newcomer with a typical vampire appearance. If you've played Lycaon's Agent Story, you've probably already met him. According to Seele, Hugo will follow Ellen as the second Ice and Attack Agent.
Vivienne
Given her resemblance to Hugo and her Gothic attire, Viviane is most likely a vampire as well. The gorgeous purple umbrella weapon in her hand might be the weapon. And it is supposed that she will be another Ether Anomaly Agent.
