What heroes will be released in patch 1.7
The list of playable agents will be expanded with two legendary characters from the new faction "Mockingbirds". Judging by the leaks of ZZZ 1.7, both characters will become universal fighters for certain styles of play.
Vivian
Vivian is a member of the Mockingbirds organization and an accomplice of Hugo Vlad, assisting him on missions. Thanks to her special talent for invention, the girl is engaged in technical equipment of phantom thieves, creating various mechanisms to facilitate thefts and escapes. In her free time, the girl devotes herself to searching for information about Phaeton, her favorite proxy in all of New Eris.
Hugo Vlad
Hugo Vlad is one of the founders of the Mockingbirds and a former friend Tyrene Lycaon. Despite his noble origins, Hugo spent his childhood in poverty: the future phantom thief was raised in an orphanage, which he was able to leave only after the death of his mentor. Having harbored a grudge against his parents, the young man created a group whose goal was to steal valuables and art objects from the rich.
Gameplay of new characters
With the launch of the beta testing version, recordings have become available showing the animations and abilities of agents in combat.
Vivian (Anomaly, Ether) Focuses on providing fire to allies while off the battlefield. The girl is capable of delivering powerful blows as allies accumulate anomalies of any attribute, as well as hovering over opponents, remaining invulnerable for some time.
Hugo Vlad (Assault, Ice) is a versatile damage dealer who can perform attacks both as an active agent and while in the "pocket". The basis of the young man's gameplay is interaction with stun: Hugo can perform additional attacks when an ally strikes stunned targets, and also significantly increase the damage of his ability depending on the remaining time of the enemy's stun.
Two amplifiers
In parallel with the banners of new agents, there will be events of "Signal Search" of their signature S-rank amplifiers:
- Flight among the stars — 5⭐ Vivian Amplifier, Anomaly. Increases the efficiency of the agent's anomaly accumulation, and also increases the knowledge of the anomaly if the carrier deals etheric damage.
- A Thousand Eclipses — 5⭐ Hugo's Amplifier, Attack. Increases the agent's attack power. If the wearer's super ability, chain attack, or special attack deals ice damage, the critical damage of that attack is increased. If the listed attacks are made on a stunned enemy, the critical damage of the attack is additionally increased.
New additions to the ranks of the Banbu
The emergence of a new game faction will allow you to get not only its unique agents, but also a faction S-rank Banbu. Robin has already appeared in the story Events "Star Hour" as Hugo Vlad's personal Banbu. In battle, the robotic hare uses cards and mechanisms created by Vivian to quickly move around the arena and deal physical damage to opponents.
The unique A-rank Banbu Pererabu will be the main gift for completing the main event of the version. The details of its skill set are not yet known, however, the gameplay recordings show that the creature is capable of inflicting explosive physical damage to groups of enemies.
Adding locations
According to an insider donut, the update should feature several new locations related to Mockingbirds. But due to the absence of beta testing, they may turn out to be only closed "dungeons" on the territory of which the events of the storyline will unfold.
New tasks
Update 1.7 will open up a number of new missions that will reveal more details about the Victims case, who found the proxy in the previous story chapter, and the stories of individual agents.
Main Line Orders
The main line order "The Past and Tears Will Return to Dust 2" will be a direct continuation of the events of the first part of the season epilogue. Hugo's disappearance without a trace and the exposure of the Ravenlocks prompted both Vivian and Lycaon to continue the task of the mayor of New Eridu. Together with Proxy, the heroes will go to enemy territory to find leads, and also meet several key characters.
As for additional stories in the format of Agent Stories and TV schedule, there will not be any in this version.
Permanent and temporary events
Along with story orders, players will be able to participate in many other game activities.
events
According to the already established tradition, the first phase of the patch will launch a event, which will allow you to take 10 banbuletami.
About the secret in the language of flowers
The main event of the patch will be dedicated to working in the Orchid Flower Shop in Lumina Square. The event is made in the already familiar style of a business simulator and will allow the proxy to try themselves as a florist in order to pick up a free unique A-rank Banbu Pererabu.
Bam-boom-bangboo
The update will feature a reboot of the co-op portion Events "Star Hour", which was already held in patch 1.5. The event will be lighter compared to the original and will focus mainly on multiplayer map completion. As an innovation, a system of ranks and ranked matches for elimination will be introduced.

We hope this article helped you learn more about the 1.7 update in Zenles Zone Ziro. Share your impressions and expectations about the innovations in comments.
They did a great job of shoving the vampire in along with the lighter. Now think about whether to take duplicates for the vampire or finish off the lighter.
is there any info on Vivian's synergy?
Holy shit, I hate coop
Waiting for 1.7 for Robin.
Thanks to ZZZ for half a year of gem farming and pretty generous bonuses, but, closing the last story update, I realized that I was exhausted and everything that was happening in the storyline didn’t interest me much.
Well, this is a brilliant Chinese invention, to spread the main plot for years ahead (like in Genshin), by teaspoon, filling the void with water. Characters are introduced to a very strong "taste and color" and those who are not into it have to be content with collecting coins. For some reason, TVs were completely removed from new events and extras, although they were a feature of the game.
Sorry
Vladik's player looks tempting. I wish it was on a fox, eh. I think Evelyn would do too.
Just not a minute of glory, even if it is "improved". In every questionnaire I wrote only one thing "everything is perfect, just not a minute of glory", and here not even half a year has ed since this nightmare
Is that all Vlad has? Or does he not care about the fall, only an aspen stake will help? 😀
The game has a walking mode, and characters can also be found on the street. Chronologically, this content is in the present tense, not the past, so characters cannot die.
Well, it's clear that he won't disappear from the . And in reputation, etc. in XSR we were chasing after the dead Tin Yun. The question is whether he died "plot-wise" or not
Hoyo selling a plot-dead S-character? I will never believe it. Dead Tingyun was 4*, and besides her there is now a non-existent Gallagher and a disappeared Misha, who are also 4*. This obviously won't happen with the legos, you don't even have to worry.
Why don't I receive notifications? Do I need to manually press the bell every time, or set something else up?
Restart of that nightmare event like Fall Guys!? Can we not? I have wild Vietnam from such thoughts...
and if the hands are not claws
