Next Zenless Zone Zero Ether Character Is Vivian

Vivian ended up being teased as a new supporting cast member in Zenless Zone Zero, and HoYoVerse just confirmed she’ll become a playable Ether character in 1.7. It took to social media and YouTube to share teasers for the new unit. Given the nature of these reveals, it is very likely she’ll be an S-rank character.

Vivian will appear alongside an entirely new faction in the game. She’s a part of Mockingbird, a group of thieves who gets involved in more clandestine activities. She is going to be an Anomaly kind of character who deals Ether damage. However, we don’t know what sort of role she’ll fill on a team yet. The initial infographic images also tease her ties to additional newcomers like Hugo and Sjal. Her official art and descriptions also reference her parasol, suggesting it could be a part of her moveset.

Here are the initial images for Vivian:

There’s also a YouTube Short that introduces Vivian ahead of her debut as a playable character in Zenless Zone Zero 1.7. Here’s how her character model looks and a teaser for her English voice actress:

Meanwhile, there are three playable characters joining Zenless Zone Zero on March 12, 2025. That’s when the S-rank Agents Silver Soldier 0 Anby and Trigger appear alongside the A-rank one Pulchra. As usual, Anby and Trigger are limited units who only appear on their focus banners. However, Pulchra will be added to the general character pool after her launch.

Ether characters in Zenless Zone Zero are somewhat rare. In addition to Vivian, we only can get Astra, Nicole, and Zhu Yuan.

Zenless Zone Zero is available for the PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and the 1.6 update arrives on March 12, 2025.
