Hey everyone, it's your fellow Proxy here, fresh off the latest Ridu Renovation dev talk! The devs just dropped all the deets for Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.4, and let me tell you, it's packed. We're talking a brand-new core gameplay mode, a free S-rank agent (yes, FREE!), and some major shifts to the endgame challenge cycle. If you thought New Eridu couldn't get more chaotic and awesome, think again. Logging in during V1.4 is an absolute must—not just for the goodies, but to dive headfirst into the new content. Let's break down everything coming our way!

🆓 The Ultimate Login Bonus: Claim Asaba Harumasa!

First things first, mark your calendars! Simply logging in during the V1.4 update period nets you some insane freebies. We're not talking small potatoes here. The headline act is the S-rank agent, Asaba Harumasa, handed to you on a silver platter. No gacha stress, no saving Polychromes for months—just log in and he's yours. On top of that, you'll get a handy agent level-up bundle to power him up fast, plus an exclusive namecard to flex your early adopter status. This is one of the most generous login rewards we've seen, so don't sleep on it!

🌌 Dive Into the Unknown: The All-New Lost Void Mode

This is the big one, folks. Version 1.4 introduces a massive new permanent gameplay mode called Lost Void. Imagine an unwelcoming, mysterious area where you send your Agents to explore, scavenge, and survive. The coolest part? If your favorite characters aren't fully built yet, you can use the Power Adaptation function. This genius system temporarily boosts your Agents' stats to match the challenge level, so you can experiment with new team comps without the grind barrier. It's all about strategy and discovery!

Inside the Lost Void, exploration is key. As you navigate its hazards, you'll find Gear for your Agents. This isn't just any gear—it can grant powerful new skills and bonus effects, fundamentally changing how an Agent plays. Initially, this Potential Catalyst system will be available for four fan-favorite Agents:

• Hoshimi Miyabi

• Tsukishiro Yanagi

• Ellen Joe

• Billy Kid

The devs have confirmed that more Agents will unlock their own Potential Catalysts in future versions, so this system is here to stay and expand!

⚔️ Sharpen Your Blades: Revamped Endgame Challenges

For all you combat enthusiasts and reward hunters, the endgame scene is getting a major overhaul with two key modes.

Deadly Assault: The Ultimate Team Test

Deadly Assault is back and more strategic than ever. You'll face off against up to three supremely dangerous bosses each season. Each enemy has:

• Unique mechanics you'll need to learn and counter.

• Multiple stacks of HP for longer, more epic battles.

• A ramping difficulty curve—as their HP drops, their power increases!

The biggest twist? Agent and Bangboo restrictions. Once you use a character or Bangboo against one boss, they're locked out for the others in that challenge cycle. This forces you to think deeply about your roster and plan your attacks wisely based on each enemy's traits. It's no longer just about your one maxed-out team; it's about your entire roster's strength.

Rewards for conquering these foes are top-tier, including Polychromes, Investigation Merits, and Dennies.

Shiyu Defense: Smoother Progression & A New Schedule

The Shiyu Defense: Critical Node mission is getting a quality-of-life upgrade. Based on your highest Frontier S-rank clearance from the previous cycle, you can now quick-clear certain stages. Ideally, top Proxies will be able to jump straight into the challenge from the Fourth Frontier, saving tons of time on lower-difficulty floors.

Furthermore, the entire update schedule is changing. Moving forward, Shiyu Defense: Critical Node and Deadly Assault will alternate every two weeks on Fridays. This means a fresh, rotating endgame challenge is always on the horizon, keeping the gameplay loop exciting and predictable.

Mode	Schedule Change	Key New Feature
Deadly Assault	Alternates bi-weekly with Shiyu Defense	Agent/Bangboo lockout per boss
Shiyu Defense	Alternates bi-weekly with Deadly Assault	Quick-clear based on prior rank

💎 Final Tips & Tricks

Before I let you go, a quick reminder: always check for the latest promocode! A few extra Polychromes can be the difference between a multi-pull and securing that new Agent or W-Engine you've been eyeing. The community usually shares them fast, so keep an eye out.

To sum up, Version 1.4 is looking like a content powerhouse:

1. Free S-Rank Agent (Asaba Harumasa) – Log in and claim!

2. New Lost Void Mode with Power Adaptation and Potential Catalysts.

3. Strategic Deadly Assault with roster-depth challenges.

4. Streamlined Shiyu Defense with quick-clear and a new bi-weekly schedule.

The focus is clearly on giving us more ways to play, more reasons to build our entire roster, and more strategic depth. What are you most excited about? The free agent, the new mode, or the harder challenges? Let me know in the comments, and I'll see you all in the Lost Void! 🚀
