Zenless Zone Zero banners enable players to unlock new characters and add them to their rosters. So, here are all the current and future banners in the gacha game.

HoYoverse’s Zenless Zone Zero includes a banner system similar to Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail. You can pull on banners to get new fighters and experiment with team comps.

There’s a variety of banners including a standard, limited, and W-Engine, and if you want to know exactly what’s included in them now and what’s coming up next, we’ve got you covered right here.

Updated September 24, 2024, to add upcoming 1.2 banner details.

What is the current banner?

The current Zenless Zone Zero banner is ‘Ember-Crowned Overlord’. This banner focuses on the powerful S-Rank character, Caesar King.

Caesar King is the featured S-rank in Zenless Zone Zero 1.2 phase 1.

Players can also obtain the following A-rank units from it:

  • Piper (Anomaly, Physical)
  • Anton (Attack, Electric)

The limited-character banner has a 50% chance of dropping an S-rank in the first 90 pulls, so it’s worth it to keep trying if you’re particularly keen to add Caesar King to your team.

When does the current banner end?

The current Zenless Zone Zero banner will run from September 25, 2024, and end on October 16, 2024.

Phase 2 of version 1.2 will begin on October 17, 2024, and a new set of banners will be available.
