As the game transitions into the second half of this update, substantial new features are on the horizon.
As HoYoverse prepares to share the latter segment of the Version 1.6 update, players are learning about the imminent introduction of Trigger, alongside a rerun of Zhu Yuan.

- Base ATK: 713
- Crit Rate: 24%
- W-Engine Effect: Wind Seeker: When the equipper hits an enemy with Aftershock, resulting in Electric Damage, the target’s Defense is reduced by 25% for 5 seconds. This passive effect does not stack with others of the same name. If the equipper is not active when applying the DEF reduction, they receive 1 stack of Spirit Lock, accumulating up to 3 stacks. This effect can activate once per skill use, with each stack increasing Impact by 4%, lasting for 12 seconds, calculated independently. Achieving full Spirit Lock stacks provides an additional 8% Impact enhancement.
Trigger’s distinctive W-Engine is expected to optimize her synergy with Soldier 0 Anby, reinforcing her potential as a Stun unit while providing effective Daze application. With Anby predominantly functioning as an on-screen DPS character, this new enhancement to Aftershock will be particularly advantageous, amplifying Anby’s abilities. The introduction of Trigger and her specialized W-Engine is set for April 2, aligning with the second half of Version 1.6.
The unveiling of Trigger’s W-Engine occurs alongside HoYoverse’s ongoing promotions for Zenless Zone Zero’s next update. As anticipation for Version 1.6 builds, fans are already buzzing about the subsequent Version 1.7, which will feature new characters Hugo and Vivian on its gacha banners. Previously, Hugo and Vivian were introduced in the Version 1.5 event “The Day of Brilliant Wishes,”and Hugo also made an appearance in Lycaon’s Agent Story. As Zenless Zone Zero continues to evolve, players can expect exciting content in future patches.
