Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Latest News: Claret and Roxy's Debut Signals and Banner Preview

As of August 19, 2026, *Zenless Zone Zero* Version 3.2 has not yet received a full preview special program or official update announcement, but the information is already clearer than it was in early August. The most important change is that official Agent Records for Claret Flint and Roxy Ifrita Pryce were released on August 7. In Chinese communities, Claret Flint is commonly written as Claret Flint. This at least confirms that both characters have entered the official promotional cycle, rather than remaining only names from community lists.

However, character attributes, specialties, skill multipliers, banner order, signature W-Engine effects, and rerun lineups have not yet been fully announced. This article separates the information into two categories: officially confirmed and community leaks/speculation. If you are saving Polychromes for Version 3.2, the priority is not to immediately bet on a specific banner, but to understand the version rhythm and the risks first.

Currently Confirmed Information

Official channels have confirmed the character records for Claret Flint and Roxy. On the English official site, Claret's name is Claret Flint; on the Chinese official site, Roxy's full name is Roxy Ifrita Pryce. The official character page has also placed Roxy and Claret in the browsable character list, indicating that the two are important members of the Season 3 Roscaelifer character line.

The information that can be written with relatively high confidence is as follows:

In other words, it is already fairly certain that Claret and Roxy will continue to appear in official promotion, but whether they will definitely debut as new S-Rank Agents in the first and second halves of Version 3.2 still needs to be finalized by the special program or in-game announcements.

Expected Version 3.2 Release Time: September 9 Is the Key Date

The official Version 3.1 update notice for "The Long Goodbye" states that Version 3.1 maintenance began at 06:00 (UTC+8) on July 29, 2026, that the version lasts 42 days, and that it ends at 06:00 (UTC+8) on September 9, 2026. Based on the usual six-week update rhythm of *Zenless Zone Zero*, Version 3.2 will most likely open after maintenance on September 9.

This is not the official announced date for Version 3.2, but it is currently the most useful time anchor for planning pull resources.

If you do not have many Polychromes on hand, the three weeks from August 19 to September 9 are crucial: the second half of Version 3.1 still has events and login rewards to claim, while the Version 3.2 preview may reveal final banner information. Emptying your resources now would be a high-risk move while information is still incomplete.

Claret: Officially Revealed, Leaks Point to Electric Armorer

Claret's clearest official labels at the moment are her connection to Flint, Flint porcelain, the workshop, and the Roscaelifer technology line. The tone of her official record also presents her as a character with a strong "workshop leader" temperament: sharp-tongued, guarded, and highly sensitive about matters related to Flint porcelain.

Community leaks further describe her as an S-Rank Electric Armorer, with mechanics revolving around DEF-to-damage conversion, Sharp DMG, Gash, Maim, Sharpness, and an enhanced state. Recent mechanic summaries claim that Claret may convert skill damage into DEF-based Sharp DMG, meaning her core output may not rely entirely on traditional ATK, but instead on DEF, CRIT Rate, and her own exclusive rotation.

If these leaks end up close to the official version, Claret's meaning will not simply be "another Electric main DPS." She may be the switch that opens up a new Version 3.2 system. Her potential highlights include:

· DEF may become an offensive stat rather than only a survival stat.

· Armorer may introduce a new specialty category and W-Engine category.

· Mechanics such as Gash and Maim may make her more dependent on stun windows and teammate coordination.

· M0 completeness and the experience with non-signature W-Engines will directly affect her value for low-spending players.

The risks are also obvious: none of this is official skill text yet. Multipliers, rotation feel, and teammate dependency in particular will only become meaningful after the preview, character mechanic introduction, and official trial.

Roxy: Record Released, Leaks Shift from "Summon Support" to Wind Stun

Roxy's official record gives her full Chinese name as Roxy Ifrita Pryce. Judging from the tone of the record, her character carries clear elements of a butler, a coffin, planning, and dark humor, forming a strong partner dynamic with Claret.

Early community discussion once guessed that Roxy might be a summon-type support, possibly providing off-field value through mechanical constructs or Wind-related contamination. More recent summaries, however, lean in another direction: S-Rank Wind Stun Agent. Recent mechanic leaks claim that Roxy may be built around Daze, Wind Energy, Wind Eyes, Cyclone Hammer, and team buffs, and may increase enemies' stun vulnerability or extend stun windows.

If her final mechanics follow this direction, Roxy's pull value will lean more toward account utility than sub-DPS value. She may not be the loudest damage dealer, but if she can reliably provide Stun, extend windows, and grant CRIT Rate or team buffs to Armorer characters, she will become an important puzzle piece for Claret's system.

In simple terms:

Rerun Banners: Do Not Bet Too Hard Yet

There is currently no reliable conclusion on the Version 3.2 rerun lineup. Different community articles have mentioned guesses such as Nangong Yu, Ban Yue, Yidhari, Vivian, Hoshimi Miyabi, Trigger, and Yanagi, but these claims are not consistent with one another. The more cautious conclusion is: Version 3.2 rerun characters still need to wait for official preview confirmation.

This matters a lot for players. Version 3.1 is an anniversary patch, and already includes Remielle, Sigrid, anniversary selectors, rerun selectors, and a large amount of rewards, so many accounts have already had their Polychrome budgets split into many directions. If Version 3.2 also contains highly attractive reruns, resource pressure will become very obvious.

Therefore, it is not recommended to make a final budget now for "a certain rerun that will definitely come." A steadier approach is to reserve resources for Version 3.2 as a "Claret/Roxy new-system version," then decide whether to adjust the pull plan after the rerun lineup is announced.

Pull Advice: Should You Save Now or Keep Pulling in Version 3.1?

Looking only at the calendar, today is already August 19, 2026, meaning Version 3.1 has officially entered its second-half focus period. Sigrid, second-half login events, and some limited-time events will all affect how many resources you can still obtain. Considering that Version 3.2 is expected to follow on September 9, players do not have much time left to rebuild their Polychrome stash.

My advice is:

If you can only guarantee one S-Rank, prioritize the character body. It is not recommended to plan signature W-Engines before the Version 3.2 preview. The leaked Claret W-Engine Crimson Thirst looks very compatible with DEF and Sharp DMG mechanics, and Roxy's signature is also described as strong, but W-Engine effects are among the easiest things to adjust between testing and release. When your budget is limited, the character priority is still higher than the weapon banner.

Three Things Most Worth Waiting for Official Confirmation in Version 3.2

First is banner order. If Claret first half and Roxy second half is correct, low-budget players will need to judge whether they can pull Claret first and then wait for Roxy testing; if the order is reversed, the planning changes completely.

Second is whether the two characters are strongly bound together. If Claret can run a complete rotation without Roxy, Claret's M0 value will be high; if Roxy provides key stun windows, CRIT Rate, or Gash/Maim synergy, the cost of playing the full system will rise.

Third is whether Armorer is truly a new specialty/new W-Engine line. If it is a long-term system, Claret may have higher future value; if it is only a single-character special mechanic, then her replacement space within existing teams needs to be evaluated more cautiously.

Summary: Version 3.2 Has a Shape, but It Is Not Final Yet

The most stable information about Version 3.2 right now is that Claret Flint and Roxy Ifrita Pryce have entered official promotional visibility and are very likely to become the two most watched characters around Version 3.2. The official end time of Version 3.1 points to 06:00 (UTC+8) on September 9, 2026, so Version 3.2 will most likely revolve around that date.

But the factors that truly affect pulls, such as specialty, attribute, multipliers, reruns, W-Engines, and team binding, still need the Version 3.2 preview special program. The safest strategy now is not to make a final decision immediately, but to claim all Version 3.1 second-half rewards, keep your Polychromes, and wait for the preview to confirm Claret and Roxy's official roles.

The conservative conclusion can be compressed into one sentence: if you like Claret or Roxy, starting to save resources today is reasonable; if you only chase strength, it is not time to place the bet yet.
