Zenless Zone Zero Anby Trailer Highlights Her Past and Power

HoYoVerse offered a better idea of exactly how different the S-rank Agent version of Anby will be compared to the A-rank one with a new trailer and social media post highlighting her new attacks. The video also offers a bit of a hint about her background and lore ahead of the 1.6 update. 

In the case of the Zenless Zone Zero trailer, it highlights the fact that Anby is the head of Silver Squad and a potential experimental test subject. The video begins with an announcer noting that individuals known as No. 5 and 7 weren’t considered strong enough and “failed.” There’s also a mention of “replica recovery.” Anby is heading down in an elevator when this happens and seems both upset and mad about the announcement.  

Once Anby gets to the floor, we see her pass researchers dismissing some replicas’ performance as not being good enough. They mention they only need “one.” Anby then heads into the test to fight and refers to herself as No. 0. She handily beats all of the opponents, and the researchers seem pleased. They suggest disposing of everyone except her. Anby then makes the decision to go a bit rogue and be reckless. She purposely goes into the most dangerous ethereal zone. The researchers dismiss her as “too reckless.” They then decide to treat the other replicas and keep the Silver Squad Anby leads. She then says she accomplished her mission.

As for the updated details about her moveset, it went over perks from teams and her attacks. She has the Voltage Surge ability that means her critical rate goes up if you include a Support Agent or one designed to Stun with her. She also increases Aftershock critical damage for the whole party if they hit foes she targeted with a Silver Star mark. That mark shows up when she hits someone with an attack. Silver Star enemies also gain up to three White Thunder stacks per attack that then eventually  builds up to Anby performing Azure Flash on them. If White Thunder is used three times in a row, she will do the AOE Thunder Smite attack. Her Voidstrike Ultimate is also an AOE attack. 

While this new version of Anby, Trigger, and Pulchra are next, we also know what’s coming in 1.7. Vivian will be one of the folks debuting in that patch. She’s also going to be another Ether-element unit who is part of the Anomaly type. 

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