Version 3.1 of Zenless Zone Zero is bringing two entirely new S-Rank agents straight into the fray. Say hello to Remielle, a Lumiflux Anomaly specialist who bends enemy anomaly pools to her will, and Sigrid, an Ice Attack hyper-carry built around Pierce-focused burst windows, Knight Skills, and a three-stage Alt Attack combo. If you’ve been hoarding Polychrome since 3.0, this update is about to test your resolve.
Below, I’m breaking down the full banner schedule with estimated dates, a deep dive into both new characters and their signature W-Engines, and a no-nonsense pull value verdict for each phase. Let’s get into it.
Version 3.1 Banner Schedule Overview
Version 3.0 launched on June 17, 2026. Zenless Zone Zero sticks to a reliable 6-week patch cycle (42 days), so projecting this update’s timeline is straightforward. Here’s the expected schedule for this patch:
| Phase | New 5-Star Character | Attribute & Specialty | Featured S-Rank W-Engine | Estimated Dates |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Remielle | Lumiflux / Anomaly | Poem of the Empty Feather Return | July 29 – Aug 18 |
| Phase 2 | Sigrid | Ice / Attack | Knight’s Extolment | Aug 19 – Sep 8 |
Note: These dates are estimates based on the standard patch cycle and will be confirmed when official announcements drop. Rerun banners running alongside these new characters are currently unknown—4-star rate-ups are also unconfirmed.

Which New Characters Are Debuting in Version 3.1?
Two fresh S-Rank agents join the roster this patch, each with a completely new playstyle. No reruns disguised as headliners here—this update is all about the new blood.
Phase 1: Remielle
She’s a Lumiflux Anomaly agent from the Covenant of Dayat faction, and her kit revolves around a unique mechanic called Mutation. Instead of triggering standard anomaly reactions, this new carry applies Lumen Buildup Points to enemies. When another anomaly state is about to trigger, it gets Mutated—amplifying the total damage that anomaly can deal based on her Mutation Coefficient, which scales directly off her own Anomaly Proficiency.
Her gameplay loop is built around managing Flight Energy. Basic Attacks and her Hold Basic restore this resource, and once it hits 120, switching to her after a Special Attack lets her enter Flight Stance—an autonomous assist mode where she attacks off-field, consuming Flight Energy over time. While in this stance, triggering three Lumen Mutation reactions unlocks her Ultimate: Entrance, a devastating bombardment that can be activated on her next switch-in.
Her Core Passive lets her store up to 3 anomaly pools from recent Mutations as Anomaly Rounds. When she unleashes her big hits—Maximum Firepower, True: Maximum Firepower, or either Ultimate—the Luminize effect triggers, dealing a percentage of all stored anomaly damage at once. At max level, that’s 150% from Ultimate: Finale and 100% from True: Maximum Firepower, further boosted by 0.6% of her Anomaly Proficiency. This snowball potential makes her terrifying in teams that can feed her consistent anomaly triggers.
If you enjoy stacking complex mechanics for massive payoff windows, she’s built for you.
Phase 2: Sigrid
She’s an Ice Attack agent from the Roscaelifer External Strategy Department and a field-hungry hyper-carry built for explosive stun windows. Her fourth Basic Attack hit, Dodge Counter, EX Special Attack, Chain Attack, and Ultimate all count as Knight Skills. Landing one activates Knight’s Focus, grants 1 Alt Attack charge, and increases her CRIT Rate by 50% for 8 seconds. Refreshing the state can extend its remaining duration up to a maximum of 40 seconds.
Her three-stage Alt Attack is the center of the rotation. Holding the attack button during Knight’s Focus spends a charge to deal 644.5% DMG at Stage 1, 1,013.3% at Stage 2, and 1,682.1% at Stage 3. She is invulnerable throughout these attacks, which gives her a safe way to push damage while avoiding enemy counters. Each Knight Skill becomes Inactive after use, so she must rotate through different eligible skills to refresh Knight’s Focus, earn the next charge, and advance the combo.
Her Chain Attack triggers All-Out Assault State the first time it hits a Dazed Elite or Boss, freezing the Knight’s Focus timer and letting her repeatedly cycle Alt Attack Stages 1 through 3 during the stun window. Her focused EX Special Attack costs 50 Energy and deals 1,396.3% DMG, while her Ultimate delivers 5,323.2% Ice DMG with full invulnerability. With her Additional Ability granting 40% increased DMG when paired with a Support or Stun teammate, she works especially well with units such as Norma and Astra Yao.
What New Weapons Are Releasing in Version 3.1?
Both new agents are getting their signature W-Engines. Here’s what we know so far.
Poem of the Empty Feather Return (Remielle’s Signature)
- Base ATK: 743
- Secondary Stat: ATK 36%
- Passive: Anomaly Proficiency increases by 105. When the equipper triggers a Mutation reaction, gain 1 stack of 14% increased Attribute Anomaly DMG, stacking up to 3 times (42% total) for 30 seconds. Repeated triggers refresh the duration.
This W-Engine directly feeds Remielle’s Core Passive scaling—more Anomaly Proficiency means a higher Mutation Coefficient, and the stacking Anomaly DMG buff amplifies every Luminize payoff. It’s a straightforward stat stick with perfect synergy for her kit. If you’re committing to her, this is a high-priority pickup.
Sigrid’s Signature Weapon
- Name: Knight’s Extolment
- Base ATK: 713
- Secondary Stat: CRIT DMG 48%
- Passive – Knight’s Rite: When the equipper’s Basic Attack or EX Special Attack’s heavy attack hits an enemy, gain 1 stack of Battle Edge. Battle Edge stacks up to 2 times, and each skill type can provide up to 1 stack. Each stack increases CRIT DMG by 32% for 25 seconds, with repeated triggers refreshing the duration. At 2 stacks, the equipper gains Bonechill, causing their damage to ignore 20% of the target’s Ice RES.
Knight’s Extolment is designed around Sigrid’s normal rotation. Her Basic Attack and focused EX Special Attack can quickly provide both Battle Edge stacks, giving her up to 64% additional CRIT DMG before Bonechill adds 20% Ice RES ignore. Because her Core Passive already supplies 50% CRIT Rate, the engine’s CRIT DMG-heavy stat line is an excellent fit. It is a powerful vertical upgrade, but A-Rank options such as Cannon Rotor and Marcato Desire still let her perform well at M0.
Which Characters Are Rerunning in Version 3.1?
Rerun banners for this patch are currently unknown. The official 3.1 livestream typically reveals returning characters about a week before launch. Given the pattern of previous patches, we may see one rerun alongside each new character, but nothing is confirmed yet.
Check back here once the announcement drops—I’ll update this section with the full rerun lineup, including 4-star rate-ups that can make or break a banner’s F2P value.
Are the Version 3.1 Characters Worth Pulling?
This is the question that matters. Let’s cut through the hype.
Remielle – Pull (with a plan)
She’s a high-investment, high-reward Anomaly enabler. Her Luminize mechanic has enormous damage potential—storing multiple anomaly pools and detonating them simultaneously can rival top-tier burst carries. However, she demands a team built around feeding her anomaly triggers and managing Flight Energy windows. If you lack other Anomaly agents to pair with her Additional Ability (which requires 1–3 Anomaly teammates for an ATK boost), her floor drops significantly. Pull if you’re ready to build around her. Skip if your roster can’t support her setup.
Her signature Poem of the Empty Feather Return provides excellent stat synergy and is worth considering if you’re all-in, but she can function with alternative Anomaly engines while you save.
Sigrid – Strong Pull
She’s a crit-scaling Ice Attack hyper-carry with one of the strongest built-in offensive buffs in the patch. Knight’s Focus grants 50% CRIT Rate, her invulnerable Alt Attacks climb to a 1,682.1% Stage 3 finisher, and All-Out Assault lets her unload repeated three-stage strings while a boss is Dazed. Her optimal teams do ask for a capable Stun or Support partner, and she can feel fragile when caught outside her invulnerability animations, but the payoff is exceptional. If you need a premier Ice DPS or already own Norma and Astra Yao, she is a high-value pull.
She is fully viable at M0, and M1 is the most attractive stopping point for vertical investment because it improves her rotation and provides a major 40% overall damage increase. Knight’s Extolment is strong but not mandatory: Cannon Rotor helps stabilize CRIT Rate, while Marcato Desire adds accessible ATK buffs through EX Special Attacks and Chain Attacks.
Signature W-Engines – Selective Pulls
- Poem of the Empty Feather Return is a focused investment. Pull it if you’re maining Remielle; skip if you’re just experimenting.
- Knight’s Extolment can provide up to 64% additional CRIT DMG and 20% Ice RES ignore. It is a major luxury upgrade for Sigrid, but her A-Rank alternatives remain competitive.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
When does Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.1 release?
Version 3.0 launched on June 17, 2026. Following the standard 42-day patch cycle, this update is expected to release on July 29, 2026. Phase 1 should run through August 18, with Phase 2 from August 19 to September 8. These dates are estimates—final confirmation comes from the official livestream.
Does pity carry over between Remielle and Sigrid’s banners?
Yes. Pity and guarantee counters are shared across all limited character banners. If you lose the 50/50 on Remielle’s banner, your guarantee carries over to Sigrid’s banner in Phase 2. Plan your pulls accordingly—don’t waste a guarantee on a character you’re unsure about.
Is Remielle or Sigrid better for a new account?
Sigrid is generally the easier immediate carry for a new account. Her free 50% CRIT Rate lowers the pressure on Drive Disc sub-stats, she has strong A-Rank W-Engine options, and her Additional Ability only needs a Support or Stun teammate. She still wants a reliable Daze builder and significant field time, but Remielle requires a deeper Anomaly roster and more reaction management to reach her ceiling. For a newer roster that needs a primary Ice DPS, Sigrid offers faster value.
