A recent Zenless Zone Zero leak has revealed the two characters expected to make a comeback in the re-run gacha banners for the game’s Version 1.7 update. The urban action RPG from HoYoverse has steadily expanded its roster since its launch in July, introducing a variety of unique and powerful characters with each new update. With Version 1.6 on the horizon, set to introduce Silver Soldier Anby, Trigger, and Pulchra, players are already looking ahead to Version 1.7, which will bring Vivian and Hugo Vlad into the fray. Now, it appears that two fan-favorite characters from past updates are making their highly anticipated return.
Zenless Zone Zero Leak Teases Version 1.7 Re-Runs
Re-run banners were first introduced in Version 1.5, giving players another chance to obtain some of the game’s strongest units. That update saw Version 1.0 S-Rank character Ellen return in the first half, alongside the powerhouse Astra Yao, widely regarded as one of the best DPS units. The second half featured another elite Stun unit, with Qingyi making a comeback alongside Evelyn’s debut. Now, a new leak hints at another exciting round of re-run banners for Version 1.7.
A leak from trusted Zenless Zone Zero source Leifa suggests that Version 1.7 will feature the return of Jane Doe and Lighter, two highly sought-after characters. According to the leak, the first half of the update will introduce new character Vivian, accompanied by the re-run of Jane Doe, a powerful Physical Anomaly character. The second half will bring the highly anticipated debut of Hugo Vlad, alongside the return of Lighter, an elite Fire Stun character.
Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.7 Banner Lineup
First Half
- Vivian – S-Rank Ether Anomaly character
- Jane Doe – S-Rank Physical Anomaly character
Second Half
- Hugo Vlad – S-Rank Ice Attack character
- Lighter – S-Rank Fire Stun character
Why These Re-Runs Matter
The rumored Version 1.7 re-runs will feature two of the game’s most powerful units making their return. Jane Doe has long been considered one of the best Physical DPS characters, excelling in dealing massive Assault Attribute Anomaly damage. Meanwhile, Lighter is a highly versatile pick, capable of fitting into multiple team compositions thanks to his exceptional Daze stacking abilities. His synergy with Vivian, a new Ether Anomaly character, could make him a staple choice for Anomaly-focused teams.
Zenless Zone Zero’s Future Updates Look Promising
The first leaks for Version 1.7 have surfaced as HoYoverse prepares for the launch of another major update. Version 1.6 will introduce a new chapter in the game’s main story, along with a trio of fresh characters. Additionally, two new bosses are set to debut, alongside an expansion of the beloved Hollow Zero game mode. The update will bring new Gear, combat stages, and more, making Version 1.6 a content-rich experience for players.
With Version 1.6 already shaping up to be a game-changer, the excitement surrounding Version 1.7’s character re-runs and debuts is only growing. Players eager to pull for Jane Doe or Lighter should start preparing their Polychrome reserves, as their return may be one of the most anticipated banner re-runs yet.
