As more information aboutZenless Zone Zero’s 1.4 update leaks out, it is looking more likely that a powerful new agent will be given away for free. HoYoverse’s newest gacha game got off to a rough start but has rebounded nicely since a lackluster 1.1 update. This is largely due to the amazingly creative characters and fun combat, but also a resurgence in storytelling.Zenlessmay not be as widely known as the studio’s other games, but it is no less successful.
Zenlesshas already had plenty of leaks about this highly anticipated update. The other noteworthy bit is the expected release of Section 6’s fearless leader, Miyabi. Miyabi, andher first dual element inZZZ, are set up to be game-changing if accurate. She also opens the door for future characters to introduce new mechanics like this and raise the bar for what the game can create.
Zenless Zone Zero’s Harumasa Will Likely Be Free To Claim
A Generous Reward
Based on more leaks by credible leakerFlying Flame(via Reddit),it looks like Harumasa will be a free agent for all players. Initial rumors about the chance of this happening were floated early on when 1.4 leaks first started, but now they seem all but confirmed by HoYo itself. The latest evidence comes in the form of an in-game asset found inZenless’s files. The likely reason for this isZenless Zone Zero’s nomination, and possible win, at the Game Awards for Best Mobile Game and Player’s Voice.
Though this would be a huge surprise for the game, it is not something entirely new to HoYoverse. The studio did something similar forHonkai: Star Rail’s Dr. Ratiothe previous year when the game won an award. However,this character still received an in-game banner, so players could try for duplicates. This trend is likely for Harumasa, who was potentially chosen over Miyabi to be free due to the immense hype, and profit, surrounding her.
Everything To Know About Harumasa
A Lighting Fast Quick Swapper
Harumasa is an Electric Attack agent, which works to his disadvantage right now.This is because Anomaly units have taken over as the premier source of damage, whereas Attack units, while still dealing viable damage, have fallen behind. While much of his kit is still unconfirmed, he seems to be a fast attacking unit that switches between mid-range combat with his bow to melee with his sword.
Along with this, based on leaks aboutZenless Zone Zero’s 1.4 Drive Discs, Harumasa will be an agent that relies on quick swaps.This is because the new Drive Disc set that seems designed for him, Astral Voice, gives damage buffs based on a stacking source called Melody. These Melody stacks are acquired by teammates entering combat through Quick Assists. This set will likely be given to the support unit of Harumasa’s team, giving him access to other options.
Overall, even if it is the less anticipated unit of the two, a free limited character in a gacha game is never bad. For free-to-play users, it provides a strong character they otherwise wouldn’t have easy access to. Meanwhile, players with more flexibility to spend money can enjoy a nice reprieve. Regardless of playstyle, Harumasa being a free agent forZenless Zone Zero’s1.4 update is a win for everyone.
