Zenless Zone Zero’s Yanagi is a badass agent and the Deputy Chief of Hollow Special Operations Section 6. She’s cooler than you, she’s cooler than us, we’ve already learned to accept it. She might look cute, with her bubblegum pink hair and wire-framed glasses, but we’re almost positive that she’s going to pack quite a punch when she appears as a playable character. Let’s take a look at what we know.
While you’re reading up on Yanagi, make sure to grab the new Zenless Zone Zero codes so you can bag yourself a playable character from the latest Zenless Zone Zero banner. Or, if you’re thrifty, you can save up for the next Zenless Zone Zero update by taking part in all the current Zenless Zone Zero events.
Here’s everything we know about Zenless Zone Zero Yanagi:
Zenless Zone Zero Yanagi release date speculation
ZZZ Yanagi will release in version 1.3, in the first half. You can get her and her signature W-engine, Timeweaver, on the exclusive and W-engine banner channels.
Prior to her drip marketing, Hoyoverse initially teased Yanagi in the pre-release livestream. She also makes her first appearance in-game through the Hollow Zero gameplay mode, where we meet her and her fellow Section 6 members, Zenless Zone Zero’s Miyabi, Zenless Zone Zero’s Harumasa, and Zenless Zone Zero’s Soukaku.
What are Yanagi’s skills?
Yanagi is an S-rank electric anomaly agent. We’ve seen that anomaly agents work very well together with ZZZ’s Jane and ZZZ’s Burnice, so it’s likely that Yanagi will work wonders with them too. In fact, in the stream above, we see her paired with Burnice and ZZZ’s Lucy for an extra damage boost.
She uses her naginata during her basic attack to slice at targets, dealing electric damage. Her special attack changes her stance and changes her available moves depending. This also gives her certain buffs which last for a certain amount of time. Using her EX special attack sees her enter the Shinrabanshou state, switching her stance again, and gives her a charged attack which deals heavier damage.
If Yanagi hits an enemy that is currently under an anomaly – for instance, assault or burn – she triggers Disorder on top of that without removing the previous anomaly. This also grants her a buff.
Also, Yanagi’s additional ability triggers when there’s at least one other anomaly or electric character in the team.
What do we know about Yanagi’s build?
Yanagi has her own signature S-rank W-engine, the Timeweaver. This will fit her kit and boost her personal damage, though using other anomaly-aligned W-engines such as Grace’s signature Fusion Compiler will likely do a good job. Electro-Lip Gloss and Weeping Gemini W-engines have the potential to be solid A-rank options for her, though we’ll have to wait until we learn more about her skills before we can say for sure.
Yanagi may work well with Zenless Zone Zero’s Seth to help boost damage for a DPS alongside him. He offers a flat 20% anomaly res shred to enemies, amplifying all anomaly build-up against them. On top of that, he can also grant the next squad member in his team up to 100 anomaly proficiency – and, of course, he’s a fellow electric agent, meaning he can help build up electric anomaly faster.
There’s a set of drive discs that seems right up Yanagi’s alley – a four-piece set of Chaos Jazz adds to her anomaly proficiency and her electric damage, even when she’s off-field. Other than that, a set of Thunder Metal, Freedom Blues, or Woodpecker Electro can add significantly to her stats and elemental damage.
Who is Yanagi?
Tsukishiro Yanagi is the Deputy Chief of Hollow Special Operations Section 6. While we don’t know much about her yet, the quotes on her Agent Record imply that she’s a stickler for rules, and always sets out to get the job done properly, with Harumasa suggesting that she “does not have the phrase ‘turn a blind eye’ in her dictionary.” Despite this, it seems like she’s still willing to joke around sometimes, as shown in her reveal tweet – though whether these “jokes” are actually funny is another story.
Yanagi also seems to take on quite a motherly role when it comes to the other members of Section 6, with a new Hollow Special Operations employee even noting that her desk was filled with flowers on Mother’s Day.
Beyond that, Yanagi appears to have a certain passion for red bean buns, causing Soukaku to question whether they’re “really that tasty” after Yanagi gave Soukaku the rest of her lunch box in favor of going off to buy more of those delicious buns.
That’s all we’ve got on ZZZ Yanagi at the moment. In the meantime, be sure to check out our Zenless Zone Zero tier list to see how the current Zenless Zone Zero characters rank.
