HoYoverse’s urban action RPG Zenless Zone Zero just kicked off Version 1.5: Astra-nomical Moment. The new banners featuring the debut of Astra Yao (S-rank Ether Support) and rerun of Ellen Joe (S-rank Ice Attack) are available now. In addition to her wholesome demo and cute animated short, Proxies can also enjoy the brand-new Astra Yao teaser “This Starlit Night” that you can find above, marking the return of Depression Zone Zero.
The video shows some of the events that Astra lived through as a child, impacting her career as a singer and superstar.
When it comes to battle, Astra Yao changes everything by enabling a quick swap gameplay for her teams. She can enter Idyllic Cadenza state, providing a damage bonus to the entire squad. Even when switching Agents, she remains on the battlefield to continue buffing her teammates. Serving as the first healing character in the game, her Ultimate not only damages enemies but also restores HP to the entire squad.
Naturally, she will also work with her own faction, the Stars of Lyra. At the moment, it is represented by herself and Evelyn Chevalier, arriving in V1.5 Phase II.
