New Agents Coming in Version 2.3

HoYoverse has begun drip-teasing the next wave of characters for Zenless Zone Zero. Two new Spook Shack members are confirmed:

  • Komano Manato → A-Rank Fire Rupture Agent

  • Lucia → S-Rank Ether Support Agent

Both are set to debut in the Version 2.3 update, following September’s Version 2.2 release.

🔥 Komano Manato — The First Fire Rupture Agent

Manato is one of the most recognizable faces in recent story chapters, especially during Version 2.1, where he appeared alongside Ukinami Yuzuha and Alice Thymefield.

  • Rank: A-Rank

  • Faction: Spook Shack

  • Weapon: Greatsword

  • Role: Fire Rupture DPS

While many players hoped he would be an S-Rank Agent, HoYoverse officially placed him at A-Rank. The community reaction has been mixed — with some fans expressing disappointment online.

Despite this, Manato introduces a brand-new element/role combo (Fire + Rupture), making him an important addition to the roster and a solid pick for diverse team comps.

🌙 Lucia — A Witchy New S-Rank Support

Lucia’s reveal was more unexpected. She is described as a mysterious author with ties to the Spook Shack faction.

  • Rank: S-Rank

  • Faction: Spook Shack

  • Role: Ether Support

  • Design: Goat thiren with horns and pointed ears

Her background hints at a tribe living on the edge of the Hollow, far from civilization. She also seems to have a relationship with Yuzuha, who praises her “determined writing style” in Agent Records.

As an Ether Support Agent, Lucia may open new team synergies and provide utility for Hollow encounters and future Abyss modes.

📋 Quick Build Summary (Predicted)

Agent Rank Element Role Weapon Best Team Synergy
Lucia S-Rank Ether Support TBD (Likely Magic/Book style) Ether-based comps, Spook Shack synergy with Yuzuha
Manato A-Rank Fire Rupture DPS Greatsword Fire teams, pairs well with Break/Support agents

Note: Builds are predictions based on drip-tease information and may change upon official release.

Community Reaction

The reception to the drip-teases has been polarized:

  • Excitement for Lucia, who brings fresh lore and stylish design.

  • Frustration over Manato’s rank placement, as many expected him to be an S-Rank banner star.

Some vocal fans have taken to social media to express disappointment, but others are still eager to see how the Fire Rupture role reshapes team meta.

When to Expect Them

  • Version 2.2 launches in September 2025.

  • Lucia and Manato are confirmed for Version 2.3 (date TBA).
