Should you pull for Pyrois?
Pyrois is likely a free agent. Technically, you don't have to pull for him, but his kit reveals how much value he can provide.
Role and Core Mechanic
Pyrois is an Ether Attacker DPS agent in Zenless Zone Zero.
Pyrois is an Ether Attacker DPS agent whose kit centers around a unique Core Passive that manages Kinetic Energy, allowing players to cycle through four distinct finishing moves that adapt to different combat states. He excels at high-damage output, particularly against stunned enemies, by consuming energy to execute powerful Enhanced Basic Attacks and Enhanced Special Skills.
Best Teams
Pull value
If the leaks turn out to be true, Pyrois will be given out for free. Hence, players do not necessarily need to decide whether to pull for him. However, if he were a limited character, you would consider Pyrois one of the must-pull agents in Zenless Zone Zero 3.0.
Pyrois has incredible damage multipliers and flexibility in his kit, allowing him to cater to multiple playstyles and team compositions. He also features i-frames and several survivability tools. Overall, Pyrois is an interesting unit for both new and seasoned players.
Still, as a free unit, there is a chance he may struggle to compete with other characters if he has an average build. We will have to wait for the live version to see how he fares against other damage dealers.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Strong Ether Damage | Low power ceiling |
| Unique gameplay due to having 4 ultimates | Difficult to build |
| Comes with a powerful tailor-made W-engine and Drive Disc set | |
| Flexible team composition | |
| Free agent! |
Who should pull for Pyrois?
Pyrois is quite flexible regarding team composition. If you are looking for a reliable DPS to carry you through endgame modes, he is an excellent choice.
This agent is rumored to be free, allowing you to spend your Polychromes elsewhere in version 3.0.

Should you pull for Velina in ZZZ?
Velina is the first Wind character in Zenless Zone Zero, bringing a new gameplay mechanic. When she comes out, she's expected to synergize with some of the best Anomaly agents in the game.
Role and Core Mechanic
Velina is a Wind Anomaly sub-DPS debuffer agent in Zenless Zone Zero.
As the first Wind Agent, she introduces the game’s signature Wind Anomaly status, Windswept, which deals Wind damage and interrupts enemies.
With her Basic Attack, Velina can unleash Eye of the Storm, allowing her to deal continuous damage to enemies using a large tornado. With the Dye effect active, this tornado can convert both its damage type and attribute to match another element. Enemies hit by this tornado suffer from reduced Anomaly Buildup RES, making her a perfect sub-DPS for many Anomaly damage dealers, such as Promeia, Jane, and Miyabi.
Best Teams
Pull Value
First off, Velina is the first-ever Wind-type agent in Zenless Zone Zero, perfect for every player who has been wanting to try out the new element.
Gameplay-wise, Velina is expected to be a good addition to existing top-tier teams and can provide an upgrade for those looking to stay competitive in the meta. She features Anomaly Buildup RES shred. As a sub-DPS, she can also deal respectable personal damage via her Gale Field, Vortex, and Windswept effects!
As one of the newest agents in Season 3, there's a good chance that upcoming DPS units will revolve around Wind, Vortex, and Windswept synergies. This makes Velina a future-proof pick for the entire 3.x cycle.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Being the first and only Wind Agent at launch means she has no direct competition. | Complex Resource Management |
| Universal Anomaly Amplifier | |
| Likely future-proof |
Who should pull for Velina in ZZZ?
Velina is the best unit to spend your hard-earned Polychromes on if you're looking to build new or existing Anomaly agents. She synergizes with nearly any on-field Anomaly DPS, particularly Physical ones due to the Assault multipliers with Wind Anomaly.
However, if you're more into traditional Attacker-based teams, you can instead look for another sub-DPS, or better yet, pull for Norma instead.

Should you pull for Norma in ZZZ?
Norma is the latest Stunner for 3.0, and she is a great choice if her kit aligns with your team's needs.
Role and Core Mechanic
Norma is a Fire Stunner agent in Zenless Zone Zero.
This stunner agent can inflict both damage, and daze while on and off-field, and can boost both based on her crit rate. On top of that, Norma also doubles as a buffer and debuffer as she applies the following:
- Stun Damage multiplier increase
- Stun duration increase
- 40% teamwide damage increase
Norma can also gain Personal Resource while on and off-field, which she can use to trigger quick assist and the chain attack of the other character.
Best Teams
Pull Value
The expectations are high for Norma, and she is looking to compete with some of the best stunners in the game, such as Dialyn.
With impressive personal damage, massive Daze output, and game-changing buffs and debuffs, Norma is set to skyrocket your team’s damage potential. This is especially true for Attacker, and Rupture teams.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| High off-field personal damage and daze output | Doesn't work with most anomaly teams |
| Versatile Support/Debuffer | Relies on crit, which can make her difficult to build |
| Can provide significant buffs/debuffs | Competitive niche |
| Good for agents who rely on chain attack, like Evelyn. |
Who should pull for Norma in ZZZ?
Norma is a must-pull for every player looking for a generalist Stunner for Attacker and Rupture teams. Besides Daze, one of Norma's main selling points is her utility, which allows her to amplify the team's damage output without hogging too much field time.
