Zenless Zone Zero is about to get its second new element in a row, and based on early beta data, the character behind it is Remielle Dan.

Pre-beta leaks surfacing ahead of ZZZ 3.1 point to a brand new attribute called Lumen, which appears to be tied exclusively to Remielle Dan, the mysterious Void Hunter agent who has appeared throughout ZZZ’s main story. If these leaks hold up, she will launch as the flagship S-rank banner for the ZZZ second anniversary update, expected around July 4, 2026.

Leaked Mechanics & ParametersMobile Setup & Team ImpactAnniversary Sandbox Verdict

The New Element

(Lumen)

• Verified as a fully standalone seventh element, sitting alongside Wind and Ether.

• Game files reveal a fresh Lumen Chip talent level-up material.

Neutral Matchups: Early theorycrafting suggests Lumen may act as a universally neutral element, completely bypassing boss weaknesses and resistances. Prevents endgame meta stagnation. Releasing back-to-back elements forces players to build distinct rosters instead of relying on heavily invested legacy teams.

Unique Loop

(Resource Engine)

• Bypasses traditional anomaly build-up charts.

• Features a stacking Amplification Multiplier (up to 4x).

• Utilizes a stored Bullet Count mechanic (up to 3 bullets).

Skip Disorder Calculations: Because Lumen doesn’t attach an anomaly aura, it does not interact with Disorder or Vortex reactions. Focus on raw resource spend loops. Operates purely as a manual gauge management system rather than a standard passive build-and-pop anomaly status loop.

Flagship Agent

(Remielle Dan)

• Rank: S-Rank Limited Limited Agent

• Role: Hybrid Anomaly Support / Sub-DPS

• Faction: First-Generation Void Hunter

• VA: Onishi Saori

The Base ATK Hook: Her unique additional ability scales team damage directly off her own base ATK stat line. Prioritize ATK over elemental padding. Stepping away from the purely aggressive DPS design of other Void Hunters (Miyabi, Yixuan) to act as the faction’s premier utility anchor.

Additional Ability

(Scaling Tiers)

Triggers with an Anomaly or same-faction ally:

• 1 Anomaly Ally: +300 Team ATK

• 2 Anomaly Allies: +600 Team ATK

• 3 Anomaly Allies:+1,500 Team ATK (40% of her ATK)

Force Triple Anomaly: Stacking a full three-Anomaly roster unlocks a massive 1,500 flat ATK buff. Standard support units leave nearly 900 ATK on the table. Intentionally built to validate an entirely new team archetype. Pairs optimally with high-profile synergy units like Velina, Aria, and Vivian.

Version 3.1

Banner Roadmap

• Phase 1: Remielle Dan (Lumen Support)

• Phase 2: Sigrid (S-Rank Ice Attack DPS / ID: 1591)

• Phase 1 & 2 rerun agents remain TBD.

Save your Polychromes through Version 3.0. Remielle’s banner serves as the centerpiece of the high-value anniversary update window. Phase 2 balances the scales by delivering a traditional hyper-carry option via Sigrid, keeping the ice roster highly competitive.

2nd Anniversary

(July 4, 2026)

• Expected Rewards: Free S-Rank Selector, Free S-Rank W-Engine, Encrypted Master Tapes, and a baseline 1,600 Polychromes drop. Log in continuously on June 17 and July 4 to secure the guaranteed 1,600 Polychromes distribution to fund your upcoming pulls. A massive player-forward milestone celebration that minimizes the spending friction of chasing a brand-new element on day one.

This is not a minor addition. ZZZ only just introduced Wind as a new element in version 3.0 with Velina. Getting a second new element back to back, one that appears to function completely differently from everything already in the game, is the kind of thing that reshapes how teams are built for patches to come.

Lumen Is a Completely New Element, Not a Variant

The first thing worth getting straight: Lumen is not a variant system like Miyabi’s Frost (which is built on Ice) or Auric Ink (which runs off Ether). According to leaker Mero Mero, who is among the more reliable ZZZ pre-beta sources, Lumen is described as a fully independent attribute, placing it alongside Physical, Fire, Ice, Electric, Ether, and Wind as a seventh element.

The strongest piece of supporting evidence is in the game data itself. A new chip upgrade material category has appeared in the files alongside the existing Burn Chips, Freeze Chips, Ether Chips, Shock Chips, and Wind Chips. Since attribute chips are directly tied to how character talents level up, a new chip type is a strong sign that Lumen has its own full progression system, not borrowed from an existing element.

What Lumen Actually Does (Based on Early Data)

This is where things get more unusual. Lumen does not appear to have a traditional anomaly build-up curve the way existing elements do. Instead of generating anomaly buildup that triggers a status effect after a threshold, Lumen seems to generate a separate unique meter that works on its own logic.

Two specific mechanics have been spotted in the data:

  • An amplification multiplier that stacks up to four times

  • A bullet count system that stores up to three bullets

How these two systems interact is not yet known. But their existence suggests Lumen may work more like a resource management mechanic than a standard anomaly attribute. You build something up, spend it, and presumably get a payoff that is different from a standard Disorder reaction.

Remielle’s Additional Ability Is the Most Revealing Leak

Setting Lumen aside, the most concrete leaked detail about Remielle’s kit is her additional ability, and it says a lot about what kind of team she wants.

The ability activates when another squad member is an Anomaly character or shares her faction. From there, it scales based on how many Anomaly characters are on the team:

Anomaly Characters on Team Team-Wide ATK Buff Cap 1 Anomaly character 300 ATK 2 Anomaly characters 600 ATK 3 Anomaly characters 1,500 ATK

The buff is calculated at 40% of Remielle’s own base ATK, applied to all squad members. The cap jumps dramatically when you reach three Anomaly characters. Going from 600 to 1,500 ATK by adding one more Anomaly unit is not a small difference. That kind of scaling is clearly designed to push players toward something the game has not fully supported before: full triple Anomaly compositions.

Three things follow directly from this:

  1. Remielle almost certainly counts as an Anomaly character herself.

  2. Her intended team archetype is triple Anomaly. The current standard for Anomaly teams is two Anomaly units plus a support. Remielle’s kit actively punishes that setup by leaving almost 900 ATK of buff value on the table.

  3. Stacking ATK on Remielle directly boosts the team-wide buff. She is an Anomaly character whose personal stat investment pays off for the entire squad.

Confirmed synergy partners based on current leaks are Valena, Aria, and Vivian. Remielle reportedly does not pair well with Miyabi.

Who Is Remielle Dan?

Remielle Dan has appeared in ZZZ story content under the alias Lieutenant Colonel Dan. She is a Void Hunter, an elite in-lore faction that already includes playable units Miyabi, Yixuan, and Ye Shunguang. Her official voice actress has been confirmed by HoYoverse as Onishi Saori, named during the Season 3 Character Reveal livestream.

Every previous Void Hunter has been a damage dealer. If Remielle launches as a Support or Support-oriented Sub-DPS as current leaks suggest, she would be the first Void Hunter support character in the game. That alone is a notable shift for the faction, and for players who have been building Void Hunter-synergy teams.

Her lore ties to Ether suppression and interference with Ethereal activity may also explain why Lumen, a light-based attribute, is mechanically distinct from the existing Ether element rather than a variant of it.

What the 3.1 Banner Setup Looks Like

Leaker Full Stop Chan has named Remielle Dan and Sigrid as the two new S-rank agents coming in ZZZ 3.1. A second leaker, Seele Leaks, has shared character IDs placing Remielle at 1581 and Sigrid at 1591, adding more weight to that claim.

Expected banner order based on current leaks:

  • Phase 1: Remielle Dan (Lumen Support), plus a rerun TBD

  • Phase 2: Sigrid (Ice Attack DPS), plus a rerun TBD

ZZZ 3.1 is targeting a launch around July 4, 2026, timed to the game’s second anniversary. Based on the version 2.0 anniversary precedent, players can expect a free S-rank agent selector, free S-rank W-Engine, encrypted Master Tapes, and Polychrome as anniversary rewards.

ZZZ 3.0 launches on June 17, 2026, so players have roughly two to three weeks to complete 3.0 content before the 3.1 beta cycle begins in earnest.
