Leading the charge is Sunna, the genius composer of Angels of Delusion. She is an S-Rank Physical Support agent designed to amplify the potential of Attack and Anomaly teammates.

Her combat style revolves around her companion, Bubblegum, who marks targets with Cat’s Gaze. By detonating these marks, Sunna delivers solid damage while providing substantial Attack buffs to her entire squad.

Her utility peaks during her ultimate, where she wields an oversized hammer for a massive burst of impact, simultaneously triggering a quick assist to pull her allies back into the fray.

Accompanying Sunna is the group’s lead vocalist, Aria, an S-Rank Ether Anomaly agent with a unique dual-presence mechanic.

Aria alternates between a physical construct form and a dazzling idol projection to dominate the arena.

She is built for aggressive, front-facing combat, specializing in dealing high burst damage through charged attacks, especially against enemies already weakened by Attribute Anomalies.

Together, Sunna and Aria form a potent duo that balances heavy-hitting support with specialized elemental pressure.

Zenless Zone Zero 2.6 story

In version 2.6, New Eridu celebrates Gilded Carrot Day, transforming the city with festive lights and holiday anticipation.

Behind the celebratory atmosphere, however, a new threat arises. The Phaethon siblings are tasked with an urgent commission regarding an illegal intelligent entity, a mission that leads them back to Sixth Street to reunite and partner with Jane Doe.

The holiday season also shines a spotlight on the 404 Error music venue, where the rising group Angels of Delusion prepares for their highly anticipated debut performance.

Zenless Zone Zero 2.6 new events

The main event in Version 2.6, A Harmony of Delusions, lets you play as the backstage crew for the Angels of Delusion. Instead of just fighting, you’ll be managing the group’s training schedules and running their social media to help them blow up.

The event mixes things up with rhythm-based mini-games and a fresh Marcel Adventure that adds new maps and mechanics to explore.

Hollow Zero is also getting a major permanent game mode called Operation Matrix. This mode features weekly rotating stages with their own unique mechanics.

You’ll put together a specialized team consisting of three main agents, a Bangboo, and one auxiliary agent. There are new Resonia to collect and agent-specific gears that can totally change how you approach a fight.
