The developers of Zenless Zone Zero have introduced an exciting new narrative twist, offering players a deeper look into the past of the beloved character, Astra Yao. Known for her captivating performances as a singer and her role as an on-air support, Astra Yao takes center stage in a newly released animated short that explores her background. This short features Astra Yao participating in a benefit concert, commemorating a tragic cavernous disaster. The storyline shifts dramatically after a tense exchange with a journalist, delving into the past events that shaped her.
Astra Yao is prominently featured in the first character banner of Zenless Zone Zero's 1.5 update, while players can also try their luck with Evelyn Chevalier in the second banner. The 1.5 update, now available, brings significant enhancements to the game, and as is customary, miHoYo (HoYoverse) is generously distributing Polychromes. Players can claim 300 Polychromes for bug fixes and another 300 for the technical work involved in the ZZZ 1.5 update, all delivered through in-game mail.
Astra Yao, classified as an S-rank agent with the Air attribute, excels as a support character. Beyond her enchanting singing, she plays a crucial role in combat by restoring her allies' HP and providing substantial damage boosts. When utilized effectively, her abilities enable squad members to initiate attack chains and quick assists more frequently, significantly increasing the damage dealt to enemies.
