Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.2 Phase 1 Banners: Claret, Nangong Yu, W-Engines, and Event Details
Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.2 Phase 1 features two limited S-Rank Agents, two limited S-Rank W-Engines, and a character trial event. The official announcement introduces Claret’s Bloodmoon Rising Exclusive Channel and her signature W-Engine’s Crimson Thirst channel. Players can also access Nangong Yu’s Axiom of Captivation Exclusive Channel and the Neon Fantasies W-Engine channel.
All four Signal Search channels run from the Version 3.2 update until September 30, 2026, at 11:59 AM server time. The accompanying The Final Callback - Audition Stage event lets eligible Proxies test Claret and Nangong Yu and claim rewards after clearing each audition stage for the first time.
The announcement is available on the official Zenless Zone Zero website. It also explains customized S-Rank selections, A-Rank rate-up options, and how guaranteed Signal Search counts work across different channel types.
Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.2 Phase 1 Banner Schedule
Version 3.2 Phase 1 includes four limited-time Signal Search channels, split between Agent banners and W-Engine banners. The channels share the same announced end time, but their featured S-Rank rewards and A-Rank options differ.
All Phase 1 Signal Search Channels
| Signal Search Channel | Featured Limited S-Rank | Default A-Rank Rate-Ups | Channel Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bloodmoon Rising | Claret, Electric - Armorer | Anton, Electric - Attack; Nicole, Ether - Support | Exclusive Channel |
| Crimson Thirst | Crimson Thirst, Armorer | Drill Rig - Red Axis, Attack; The Vault, Support | W-Engine Channel |
| Axiom of Captivation | Nangong Yu, Ether - Stun | Anton, Electric - Attack; Nicole, Ether - Support | Exclusive Channel |
| Neon Fantasies | Neon Fantasies, Stun | Drill Rig - Red Axis, Attack; The Vault, Support | W-Engine Channel |
Event period: After the Version 3.2 update through September 30, 2026, at 11:59 AM server time.
The official notice doesn't list a separate start time for each channel. Their opening is tied to the Version 3.2 update, so the actual start depends on when maintenance finishes and the update becomes available.
Claret Banner: Bloodmoon Rising
Bloodmoon Rising is the limited Exclusive Channel featuring Claret, an Electric-type S-Rank Agent with the Armorer specialty. Anton and Nicole are the default boosted A-Rank Agents during this banner.
Claret is the featured character for players planning to expand their roster with the newly highlighted S-Rank Agent. The announcement confirms her attributes and specialty but doesn't provide a full skill breakdown, damage analysis, or team-building guide.
Bloodmoon Rising Banner Details
The announcement states that Claret will not be added to the permanent Star-Studded Cast Stable Channel. Players should therefore treat Bloodmoon Rising as a limited availability opportunity rather than assume she will enter the standard Agent pool after the banner ends.
Nangong Yu Banner: Axiom of Captivation
Axiom of Captivation features Nangong Yu as a limited S-Rank Ether Agent with the Stun specialty. The banner shares the same default A-Rank rate-up Agents as Claret’s Exclusive Channel: Anton and Nicole.
Players interested in Nangong Yu can use this channel during Version 3.2 Phase 1. The announcement confirms her rarity, attribute, and specialty, but it does not detail her full combat kit or explain her performance in specific team compositions.
Axiom of Captivation Banner Details
| Event Detail | Official Information |
|---|---|
| Event name | The Final Callback - Audition Stage |
| Featured trial Agents | Claret and Nangong Yu |
| Start time | After the Version 3.2 update |
| End time | September 30, 2026, at 11:59 AM server time |
| Inter-Knot requirement | Level 8 |
| Story requirement | Unlock the Event feature in Main Story Prologue - Intermission |
| Reward condition | Clear an audition stage for the first time |
| Reward collection | Claim rewards from the results screen |
The audition stages let players try both featured Agents in dedicated challenges. Rewards become claimable after players first successfully clear the corresponding stage.
The notice does not list the exact reward quantities or item names. Players should check the in-game event page and results screen for the specific rewards available.
What Players Should Know Before the Phase 1 Channels End
Players should make their Signal Search plans before September 30, 2026, at 11:59 AM server time, because the announcement gives that deadline for all four channels and the audition event. The notice does not confirm that these limited Agents or W-Engines will return on a specific future date.
At Animon Life, separating official banner details from unconfirmed rerun expectations helps players decide without relying on speculation. For the most accurate drop rate, customization, and eligibility rules, the in-game Details panel remains the key reference.
Players who want to try Claret or Nangong Yu should also complete the audition stages before the event closes. To access the event, players must meet the Inter-Knot Level 8 and story progression requirements.
Final Takeaway
Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.2 Phase 1 features Claret and Nangong Yu as limited S-Rank Agents, alongside the Crimson Thirst and Neon Fantasies W-Engines. All four Signal Search channels run until September 30, 2026, at 11:59 AM server time.
Players can also test both Agents through The Final Callback - Audition Stage event. Before committing Signal Searches, review the in-game Details panel for drop-rate rules, customization options, and current guaranteed-signal progress.
