ZZZ 3.2 brings Armorer specialty, Maim, and agents Claret and Roxy

Version 3.2 of Zenless Zone Zero, titled Their Secret Histories, lands on September 9th with the new Armorer specialty. This system focuses on offensive-defensive balance, integrating the Maim and multi-CRIT mechanics to diversify combat. The update introduces the S-Rank agents Claret and Roxy, whose abilities scale with DEF and tornado control, respectively, opening new build paths for veteran players.

Technical analysis: DEF scaling and the Maim mechanic in the meta ⚔️

Claret's design breaks convention by converting survivability into raw damage, rewarding investment in DEF over ATK. Meanwhile, Roxy introduces tornado-based crowd control that synchronizes with the new Maim state, which reduces enemy resistance and amplifies damage taken from multi-CRIT hits. This hybrid approach forces a recalibration of stat priorities on discs, creating a meta where positioning and timing matter more than simple DPS.

Free events and cosmetics: the carrot for the player's wallet 🥕

While meta theorists break calculators with DEF scaling, miHoYo dangles the perfect carrot: free events with cosmetics from the Angels of Delusion faction. Because, let's be honest, mechanical depth is all well and good, but nothing motivates farming more than a shiny outfit for your favorite agent. Sure, Roxy's tornado will still sweep up enemies, but it will also sweep away your urge to spend polychromes on the banner. Retention is guaranteed, even if your wallet breathes a sigh of relief.
