Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Preview: Claret Flint, Roxy, and Flint Workshop Banner Leak Roundup

As of August 10, 2026, HoYoverse has not yet fully revealed the Version 3.2 content for *Zenless Zone Zero*. Therefore, this article is not an official update notice, but a Version 3.2 preview roundup based on the official 3.1 timeline, recent community leaks, and cross-checks from several overseas guide blogs. Details involving character roles, skill mechanics, W-Engine effects, and rerun banners may still change during the official livestream or final update announcement.

The most consistent current claim is that Version 3.2 is expected to launch around September 9, 2026, featuring two new S-Rank Agents from Flint Workshop / CampFlintworks: Claret Flint and Roxy. If this schedule holds, 3.2 will follow directly after the 3.1 anniversary version and become another important roster-expansion patch in Season 3.

Version 3.2 Timeline: Expected to Open on September 9

The official Version 3.1 update, "The Long Goodbye," launched on July 29, 2026. Its patch cycle lasts 42 days, and the official Korean update notice also lists the 3.1 end time as September 9, 2026 at 07:00 (KST), which usually corresponds to around September 9, 2026 at 06:00 (UTC+8) for China server time. Based on the usual six-week update cadence of *Zenless Zone Zero*, Version 3.2 is very likely to open after maintenance on that day.

This schedule is highly useful as a planning reference, but it is still not an officially announced date. Banner order, rerun characters, and event arrangements in particular should be finalized only after the Version 3.2 preview livestream.

Version 3.2 Core Highlights at a Glance

Several blogs currently focus the key words for Version 3.2 on the Flint Workshop duo and a new combat system. Newer leaks further describe Claret Flint as an Electric Armorer, while Roxy is described as a Wind Stun Agent. Earlier leaks, however, still described them with less certain terms such as "unknown role," "summoning," or "ranged guard." In other words, the direction is becoming clearer, but values and final mechanics still need official confirmation.

Claret Flint: Possibly the First Core of the Armorer System

Claret Flint is currently the most watched character in the first half of Version 3.2. Newer roundups from GamsGo and BuffHub both mention that she may belong to the new Armorer specialty and revolve around DEF-to-damage conversion. BuffHub further notes that she may be an Electric character and may use mechanics such as Sharp DMG, Gash, Maim, personal resources, and an enhanced state.

From a teambuilding perspective, if these settings are ultimately kept, Claret may not be a traditional main DPS that simply stacks ATK and CRIT stats. She may instead be closer to a new-system character built around DEF, CRIT Rate, exclusive mechanics, and burst windows. Her value would not lie only in damage, but also in whether she can open up the direction of Armorer teams after Version 3.2.

For now, Claret can be understood this way:

If she truly becomes the system-starting character of Version 3.2, then whether her M0 kit is complete, how much her signature W-Engine improves her, and whether A-Rank substitute W-Engines are usable will become the key factors in determining her pull cost. For most players, the priority should still be: character first, signature W-Engine later.

Roxy: Wind Stun, Possibly Claret's Key Partner

In early leaks, Roxy's role was once described as "summon-type support" or "mechanical summon gameplay," but more specific recent claims lean toward her being a Wind Stun Agent. If the new leaks are accurate, her core value may lie in quickly building Daze, extending enemy stun windows, and strengthening team damage through Wind-related effects or specialty buffs.

This makes Roxy's pull value quite subtle: she may not be the flashiest main damage dealer, but she may be the key puzzle piece that makes the new Version 3.2 system truly function. For players already planning to pull Claret, Roxy deserves special attention; for accounts lacking a strong Stun unit, she may also be more practical than simply chasing a second main DPS.

It should be noted that the value of Stun characters often depends on the environment. If Shiyu Defense, Deadly Assault, or new events in Version 3.2 are clearly designed around Wind, stun windows, and DEF-related benefits, Roxy's experience will be further amplified. On the other hand, if your account already has mature Stun options, her priority should be compared together with rerun characters.

New Specialty Armorer: The System Change Most Worth Watching in 3.2

If Claret is confirmed as the first Armorer, then Version 3.2 will not simply be about "two new characters." It may mean that *Zenless Zone Zero* is adding a new character category and a new gearing logic.

GamsGo's roundup mentions that Armorer may be related to DEF stats, responses to specific boss mechanics, exclusive ascension materials, and a new W-Engine category. BuffHub's updated content goes further by tying Claret's damage mechanics to DEF, CRIT Rate, Electric damage, and Sharp DMG. If this information ultimately lands in the official release, players will need to re-evaluate the value of DEF main stats, Drive Disc sets, and older characters' potential awakenings.

For regular players, there is no need to rush into farming a large amount of unconfirmed materials right now. A steadier preparation method is:

· Keep part of your Battery Charge resources and farm intensively only after official materials are confirmed.

· Do not dismantle potentially valuable DEF, CRIT Rate, or Energy Regen Drive Discs in advance.

· Watch whether older characters such as Koleda and Rina can really interact with Armorer teams through potential awakenings.

· Wait until the 3.2 livestream before deciding whether to pre-farm exclusive materials.

Rerun Characters: It Is Still Too Early to Decide

There is currently no reliable conclusion on the Version 3.2 rerun banners. GamsGo mentions names such as Nangong Yu, Ban Yue, Yidhari Murphy, and Vivian Banshee only as community guesses; BuffHub's update also clearly marks rerun information as unknown.

Therefore, what is truly worth planning ahead for Version 3.2 is "whether to pull the new characters," not "betting that a certain rerun will definitely arrive." If you have already spent a large amount of Polychrome during the 3.1 anniversary version, it is better to treat 3.2 as a new-system version first, then decide whether to change plans after reruns are confirmed in the preview livestream.

Version 3.2 Pull Advice: Claret or Roxy?

If you can only afford to pull one character, you can divide the decision by account needs:

If the two characters ultimately have a strong binding relationship, the most frustrating situation would be "pulling Claret, only to discover that Roxy is the key that lets her fully take off." Therefore, low-budget players should not rush to empty their resources on the first day of the 3.2 first half. A steadier rhythm is: watch the livestream first, then wait for test-server or first-week official-server feedback, and confirm Claret's M0 completeness and Roxy's necessity.

The same applies to signature W-Engines. Claret's Crimson Thirst and Roxy's signature W-Engine both look mechanically fitting, but before the final effects are confirmed, the character body should still be the first priority. Unless you already have enough resources to guarantee the character, do not sacrifice another key Agent for a W-Engine.

Summary: Version 3.2 May Be a System Turning Point for Season 3

*Zenless Zone Zero* Version 3.2 is still not a version that can be completely finalized, but it already shows a very clear direction: the Flint Workshop duo, the new Armorer specialty, DEF-to-damage conversion, Wind Stun, and new team synergy. If these leaks ultimately land, Version 3.2 may influence players' resource planning as noticeably as the anniversary rewards did in Version 3.1.

The conservative conclusion is simple:

· Claret Flint looks more like the protagonist of a new system and suits players who want new damage output and new gameplay.

· Roxy looks more like a team engine and suits players who lack a Stun unit or are preparing to build around Claret.

· Rerun banners are not confirmed, so do not finalize a budget for a specific rerun character too early.

· Do not empty your Polychromes before the 3.2 preview livestream, especially if you already pulled Remielle or Sigrid in Version 3.1.

After the official Version 3.2 special program is announced, the three things that need to be confirmed first are not "who looks better," but banner order, whether the characters are mutually dependent, and how complete they are at M0 with non-signature W-Engines. Once these three points are confirmed, it will be much safer to decide whether to pull Claret, Roxy, or continue waiting for later Season 3 characters.
