Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.0 Phase II: A Sleepwalker’s Confession Guide
Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.0 Phase II adds two S-Rank Agents and two signature W-Engines.
Norma and Sunna headline the second half of A Sleepwalker’s Confession.
Norma is a Fire-based Stun Agent, while Sunna provides Physical Support.
Their signature W-Engines are Chief Sidekick and Thoughtbop.
Phase II also brings two limited-time events with useful rewards.
These include the “En-Nah” Into Your Lap check-in event and Art Is Bangboo!
Version 3.0 originally launched on June 17, 2026.
The update was scheduled to run until July 29, 2026, at 06:00 UTC+8.
What Is New in Version 3.0 Phase II?
Version 3.0 Phase II focuses on new Agents, W-Engines, and limited-time activities.
The biggest additions are Norma, Sunna, Chief Sidekick, and Thoughtbop.
Both Agents appear through limited-time Signal Searches.
Their signature W-Engines also have dedicated limited-time channels.
This gives players several new options for building their teams.
| Content | Type | Attribute | Specialty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Norma | S-Rank Agent | Fire | Stun |
| Sunna | S-Rank Agent | Physical | Support |
| Chief Sidekick | S-Rank W-Engine | Stun | Norma's signature |
| Thoughtbop | S-Rank W-Engine | Support | Sunna's signature |
The Phase II content also includes two events.
Both events offer different rewards and participation requirements.
Norma and Sunna Join the Limited-Time Channels
Norma and Sunna are the main playable additions in Phase II.
Norma works as a Fire Stun Agent for teams that need greater enemy control.
Sunna takes a Support role and uses the Physical attribute.
Their different specialties make them useful for different team setups.
Norma: Fire Stun Agent
Norma is an S-Rank Agent with the Fire attribute and Stun specialty.
She arrives through the “Outlier of Prodigies” Signal Search.
Her role focuses on applying Stun pressure during combat.
Players looking for another Stun-focused Agent can therefore consider Norma.
Her addition also gives Fire-focused teams another high-rarity option.
Norma also receives new Trust and Quality Time content in Version 3.0.
These activities become available after obtaining the required Agent.
Sunna: Physical Support Agent
Sunna returns as an S-Rank Physical Support Agent.
Her role differs sharply from Norma’s Stun-focused gameplay.
Sunna is designed around supporting the rest of the team.
This makes her more relevant for players building teams around sustained team utility.
The Phase II lineup therefore covers two distinct combat roles.
One Agent focuses on Stun, while the other provides Support.
Chief Sidekick and Thoughtbop W-Engines
The two new S-Rank W-Engines match the Phase II Agents.
Chief Sidekick is the Stun W-Engine associated with Norma.
Thoughtbop is the Support W-Engine associated with Sunna.
Both appear through limited-time W-Engine channels.
Players who obtain the corresponding Agent can therefore consider their signature equipment.
| W-Engine | Rank | Specialty | Associated Agent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chief Sidekick | S-Rank | Stun | Norma |
| Thoughtbop | S-Rank | Support | — |
The W-Engine banners are separate from the standard Stable Channel.
This matters because limited-time signature equipment follows its own availability rules.
Players should check the active Signal Search before spending resources.
“En-Nah” Into Your Lap Offers 10 Boopons
The “En-Nah” Into Your Lap event rewards players for checking in across seven days.
The event ran from July 8, 2026, at 10:00 server time.
It ended on July 28, 2026, at 03:59 server time.
Players needed to reach Inter-Knot Level 5 to participate.
They also needed to complete the Prologue, “The Hare and the Proxy.”
The main reward was Boopon ×10 after seven total check-ins.
This event was particularly useful for players interested in Bangboo Signal Searches.
The seven-day requirement also made the reward relatively straightforward to collect.
Event Details at a Glance
| Content | Type | Attribute | Specialty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Norma | S-Rank Agent | Fire | Stun |
| Sunna | S-Rank Agent | Physical | Support |
| Chief Sidekick | S-Rank W-Engine | Stun | Norma's signature |
| Thoughtbop | S-Rank W-Engine | Support | Sunna's signature |
The event dates and requirements were announced through official Zenless Zone Zero channels.
Art Is Bangboo! Brings 14 Types of Bangboo Merchandise
Art Is Bangboo! gives players a collection-focused event built around Bangboo merchandise.
The event ran from July 8, 2026, at 10:00 server time.
It ended on July 27, 2026, at 03:59 server time.
Players needed Inter-Knot Level 20 to participate.
They also needed to complete Main Story Chapter 1 - Intermission.
The event featured a Bangboo merchandise stall near Amber Hall.
Players could redeem from a total of 14 different Bangboo merchandise types.
One merchandise type could be claimed free each day.
Players could also earn a Golden Soda Bottle Cap after spending Battery for the first time each day.
Spending one Golden Soda Bottle Cap allowed another merchandise type to be claimed.
Each merchandise item also connected to a corresponding Merch Gift.
These gifts provided rewards such as Polychromes, Boopons, and upgrade materials.
Why Art Is Bangboo! Stands Out
The event combines daily participation with collectible rewards.
That structure gives players a reason to return throughout the event.
It also adds a lighter activity alongside Version 3.0’s larger story content.
Bangboo merchandise is especially relevant because Bangboo remains a major part of Zenless Zone Zero’s identity.
At Animon Life, we typically see strong interest in official merchandise tied to popular game characters.
This type of event also shows how Zenless Zone Zero extends its world beyond combat.
Other Version 3.0 Content Worth Knowing
Phase II is only one part of the larger Version 3.0 update.
A Sleepwalker’s Confession also introduced major story and gameplay content.
The update added the Season 3 Chapter 1 main story.
It also introduced new areas, Agents, W-Engines, Bangboo, and outfits.
The new area includes Roscaelifer-Booastrum.
Players unlock this area through the Season 3 Chapter 1 story.
Version 3.0 also introduced S-Rank Agent Velina and Phaethon Agent Pyrois.
It added the S-Rank Bangboo Ultra Jake as another new companion.
The update also included several other limited-time activities.
These included Assemble! Mock Exam Comeback Plan and Tales of the Hobbling Crow.
Version 3.0 Compensation and Update Dates
Version 3.0 launched on June 17, 2026, at 06:00 UTC+8.
The scheduled maintenance period was approximately five hours.
Eligible players received Polychrome ×300 as compensation for the server update.
A separate issue-fix compensation provided another Polychrome ×300.
Players needed to reach Inter-Knot Level 4 before the update to qualify.
The issue-fix compensation had a separate claim deadline.
This means eligible players could receive 600 Polychromes from the two compensation packages.
Version 3.0 was planned to run for 42 days.
The update period ended on July 29, 2026, at 06:00 UTC+8.
What Should Players Prioritize?
Players should prioritize limited-time rewards before the Version 3.0 deadline.
The “En-Nah” Into Your Lap event required seven total check-ins.
Players interested in Bangboo rewards should also complete Art Is Bangboo!
Those events had fixed end dates and could not be completed after their deadlines.
Players considering Norma or Sunna should also review their existing teams.
Norma suits players seeking an alternative to Fire Stun.
Sunna is more relevant for players who need Physical Support.
Their signature W-Engines can then be considered based on each Agent’s role.
For North American fans, official merchandise tied to events like Art Is Bangboo! may also appear through licensed retailers such as Animon Life.
Availability can vary by product, region, and release schedule.
