Master Dialyn’s banner timing, team synergies, and resource optimization strategies for Zenless Zone Zero’s 2.4 update
Introduction: Meet Dialyn, the Stun-Specialist Sub-DPS
The highly anticipated Zenless Zone Zero Version 2.4 update is almost here, headlined by the debut of Dialyn in its first phase. Hailing from the Krampus Compliance Authority, this S-Rank agent wields the Physical attribute and masters the Stun fighting style, specializing in controlling the battlefield. Her banner, along with a selection of powerful allies and weapons, becomes available for a limited time starting November 26, 2025.
Dialyn is strategically designed as a sub-DPS unit whose primary value lies in her ability to stagger opponents and amplify her team’s damage output. Her kit makes her particularly effective when paired with agents who specialize in the Rupture status effect, as she can enhance their damage potential. Players can add her to their roster when the update goes live on November 26, 2025, at 11:00 AM (UTC+8).

Phase 1 Banner Analysis: Agents & Rates
Dialyn will not be alone in the Phase 1 banner. She shares the spotlight with Hugo, an S-Rank Ice attribute character specializing in the Attack fighting style, who is receiving a rerun. This dual-S-Rank structure offers a valuable opportunity for players seeking either a new Stun specialist or a powerful Ice attacker.
The full roster of agents featured on this limited-time banner includes:
- Dialyn (S-Rank): Physical Attribute, Stun Fighting Style. Primary role: Sub-DPS/Stun Enabler.
- Hugo (S-Rank): Ice Attribute, Attack Fighting Style. Primary role: Main DPS.
- Corin (A-Rank): Physical Attribute, Attack Fighting Style.
- Billie (A-Rank): Physical Attribute, Attack Fighting Style.
Summoning Strategy: The ‘pity’ system carries over between banners of the same type. If you are close to a guaranteed 50/50 or a hard pity, plan your Polychrome expenditure accordingly. A common mistake is splitting resources between the Agent banner and the W-Engine banner, often leaving players without a signature weapon for their new S-Rank. Decide your primary target (Dialyn, Hugo, or a weapon) before pulling.
Concurrent W-Engine Banner: Signature Weapons
Running alongside the Agent banner is the dedicated W-Engine banner, featuring signature weapons tailored for the featured characters. These weapons significantly boost a character’s performance and are often worth considering for dedicated mains.
The featured W-Engines for Phase 1 are:
- Yesterday Calls (S-Rank, Stun): Dialyn’s signature weapon. It greatly enhances her Stun application and personal damage.
- Myriad Eclipse (S-Rank, Attack): Hugo’s signature weapon, optimizing his Ice-based Attack DPS potential.
- Starlight Engine Replica (A-Rank, Attack): A strong generalist option for Attack-style characters.
- Housekeeper W-Engine (A-Rank, Attack): Another reliable A-Rank weapon for Attack-focused builds.
Pull Priority Guide: For free-to-play or low-spending players, the general rule is Characters > Weapons. A new S-Rank agent typically provides more team flexibility and value than their signature weapon. Only consider pulling on the W-Engine banner if you already have both Dialyn and Hugo, or if you are a dedicated main seeking maximum performance.
Advanced Tactics: Team Building & Resource Optimization
To maximize your investment in Dialyn, understanding her ideal team compositions is key. She shines in teams that leverage Stun and Rupture.
Best Team Comps for Dialyn:
• Rupture Core: Pair Dialyn with a main DPS who inflicts Rupture (like certain Ether characters). Her buffs will dramatically increase the Rupture damage ticks.
• Stun-Lock Team: Combine her with another Stun applicator to keep dangerous enemies perpetually staggered, enabling safe damage windows for your team.
• Physical Resonance: Teaming her with other Physical agents like Corin or Billie can activate powerful Attribute Resonance effects for increased damage.
Common Mistakes to Avoid:
1. Ignoring Energy Regeneration: Dialyn’s utility often relies on her EX Special Attack. Building some Energy Regen stats ensures she can use it frequently.
2. Wrong Disc Drives: Equipping her with generic Attack% drives instead of ones that boost Stun Efficacy or Physical Damage is a suboptimal build trap.
3. Poor Rotation: Using her buff ability before your main DPS has applied their damage-dealing status (like Rupture) wastes the damage window.
Optimization for Advanced Players: For those aiming to clear the hardest Hollow content, consider saving your ‘Master Tapes’ (the equivalent of Intertwined Fates) for this banner if you lack a top-tier Stun unit. Dialyn’s ability to interrupt boss mechanics can be more valuable than raw damage in endgame scenarios. Pre-farm the ‘Physical Pinball’ and ‘Stun’ skill upgrade materials from the current version to level her immediately upon acquisition.
