Nina Forneloza
Planning to pull Claret in Zenless Zone Zero? This Claret materials guide covers everything you need to prepare, including her promotion materials, Electric Skill Chips, Core Skill materials and signature W-Engine resources.
Claret is an upcoming S-Rank Electric Agent from Roscaelifer, scheduled for release on September 29, 2026. She is also the first playable Agent from the new Armorer specialty. Unlike traditional Defense characters, Zenless Zone Zero's new agent Claret is a DEF-scaling DPS who builds Gash stacks, triggers Maim, and uses multiple self-buffs to increase her damage.
Keep reading to find the complete ZZZ Claret materials list and which resources you can safely pre-farm before her release.

You may not need to max every skill immediately. Claret’s current beta kit places a large amount of her damage and utility in her Core Skill, Special Attack and transformation-based attacks, so these are likely to be the safest early investments. However, her final skill priority should be checked again after the beta ends.

Start with Shock Chips and Dennies, since Claret’s new Armorer materials
and boss drops cannot be obtained until Version 3.2 becomes available.
Which Claret materials can you pre-farm
You can only pre-farm Shock Chips, Dennies, Hamster Cage Pass and W-engine Energy Modules for Claret in ZZZ.
The new Armorer class will debut in Version 3.2, so its specialty materials are not yet available on the current server. Claret’s required boss materials are also currently unavailable, meaning they cannot be pre-farmed until the update launches.
What Claret materials Should You Pre-Farm First?
Start with Shock Chips. Claret needs 25 Basic, 75 Advanced and 250 Specialized Shock Chips to completely max all five of her skills.
After that, prepare at least 3,705,000 Dennies and save five Hamster Cage Passes. Players pulling Crimson Thirst should also collect 200 W-Engine Energy Modules and another 400,000 Dennies.
Avoid converting too many existing Certification Seals or W-Engine Components in advance. Claret uses the new Armorer versions, and their exchange options or crafting ratios may not become available until Version 3.2 launches.
When is Claret’s release date in Zenless Zone Zero?
Claret is currently expected to release during Phase 1 of Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.2 on September 9, 2026. The date and banner placement remain subject to change until the Version 3.2 Special Program confirms them.
Frequently Asked Questions
What materials does ZZZ Claret use?
The new ZZZ agent Claret uses Shock Chips, new Armorer Certification Seals, five Hamster Cage Passes, 60 of a new Higher Dimensional Data material, nine new weekly boss materials and 3,705,000 Dennies.
Can Claret’s boss materials be pre-farmed in Zenless Zone Zero?
No. Her Expert Challenge and weekly boss materials are newly added Version 3.2 items and are not currently obtainable on the live server.
Does Claret need five Hamster Cage Passes?
No. Unless you're willing to max out all of Claret's skills, you will probably only need two to three Hamster Cages.
Can Crimson Thirst materials be pre-farmed?
You can pre-farm the W-Engine Energy Modules and Dennies. The new Armorer W-Engine Components cannot be obtained until the Armorer Modification stage becomes available.
Preparing Claret materials early will help you build her as soon as she arrives in ZZZ Version 3.2. While her Armorer and boss materials cannot be pre-farmed yet, you can still stock up on Dennies, Electric Skill Chips, and other available resources. Check back after the update for the confirmed material names, farming locations, and final totals!
