Zenless Zone Zero is in full flow when it comes to character releases. HoYoverse has been regularly releasing new units since launch and leakers have a lot of information to hunt for.

As it happens, one of the recent leaks has revealed a playable unit called Lighter. Players have met them once already in the game as an NPC, but until now it wasn’t clear whether he would be playable or not. He is part of the Sons of Calydon faction, similar to Caesar King and Burnice White.

If you’re interested in learning about Lighter, we have all the necessary information for you. It’s also important to mention that even though the leakers have a good track record, fans should take this information with a grain of salt and wait for official confirmation from the developers.
