Zenless Zone Zero unveils a new focus on Astra Yao, delving into her backstory. MiHoYo (HoYoverse) continues to expand the game's roster, this time spotlighting Astra Yao, the singer and part-time broadcast personality.
A new animated short offers a glimpse into Astra Yao's past, featuring her participation in a benefit concert following a devastating cavern collapse. The story then shifts to reveal impactful events from her history, following a tense exchange with a reporter.
Astra Yao is featured in the first character banner of Zenless Zone Zero 1.5, with Evelyn Chevalier appearing in the second.
The 1.5 update also includes the customary miHoYo (HoYoverse) Polychrome compensation. Players receive 300 Polychromes for bug fixes and another 300 for technical improvements related to the update. These are distributed via in-game mail.
Agent Astra Yao (Air, Support), a new S-rank agent, joins the fray. Beyond her singing career, Astra Yao is a formidable support agent, providing substantial HP restoration and significant damage boosts to allies. Her skills facilitate more frequent attack chains and quick assists, significantly increasing the squad's damage output.
