A new leak shared to prominent Zenless Zone Zero database Hakushin shows the leveling materials players will need for Astra Yao and Evelyn. Both characters feature typical standards for most other characters in their Attribute, with Astra Yao requiring Ether Chips while Evelyn will use Fire Chips to level her skills. The post also reveals both characters' boss materials, with Astra Yao using the "Finale Dance Shoes" and "Thunderous Dragon" materials while Evelyn uses a new boss material and "Steel Malice."

The release of Astra Yao and Evelyn to Zenless Zone Zero will likely be joined by the next expansion of the game's main story. Version 1.4 served as the conclusion of the first major arc of the game's story, bringing the saga surrounding the game's Vision Corporation to a close. The new story may also include more rumored factions said to be coming to Zenless Zone Zero, potentially featuring the leaked "virtual idol" faction's introduction. Zenless Zone Zero's Version 1.5 will release on January 22.

Zenless Zone Zero's new characters will have a high bar to live up to following in the footsteps of Version 1.4's monumental launches. Hoshimi Miyabi has quickly taken over the game as one of its most powerful DPS characters, able to pump out absurd damage totals when fully built. Fans were also treated to a free S-Rank unit during Version 1.4, with HoYoverse giving fans a free copy of new S-Rank character Asaba Harumasa. Zenless Zone Zero fans should have plenty to look forward to as HoYoverse moves into the next arc of the game's story.

Don't go into the Hollows.
I know, I know, there's Ether in the Hollows, bizarre creations, even heritage of the old civilization, all precious treasures. But don't forget, there's also spatial disorder, monsters and mutants running rampant, and ultimately, a disaster that could swallow the world. They are not a place where ordinary people should go.
So don't go into Hollows.
Or at least, don't go in alone.
If you insist on getting into danger, go to New Eridu first.
This city where the good and the bad mix has many people who need the Hollows: Powerful wealthy tycoons, gangs that stalk the streets, conspiracy nuts, and ruthless officials.
Make your preparations there, find strong allies, and most importantly—
Find a "Proxy".
Only they can guide people out of the maze-like Hollows.
Good luck!
