The developers of Zenless Zone Zero have introduced an exciting new twist, offering players a deeper look into the past of the beloved character, Astra Yao. As a singer and part-time on-air support, Astra Yao has captured the hearts of the community, and now, miHoYo (HoYoverse) is enriching her backstory with a new animated short.

This animated short delves into Astra Yao's history, showcasing her participation in a benefit concert aimed at commemorating a cavernous disaster. The narrative begins with a brief, yet evidently uncomfortable, exchange with a journalist before transitioning to the dramatic events of her past. This addition not only enhances the character's depth but also provides fans with a more immersive experience.

Astra Yao takes the spotlight in the first character banner of Zenless Zone Zero's 1.5 update, while Evelyn Chevalier graces the second banner. The 1.5 update, now available, brings with it the customary distribution of Polychromes by miHoYo (HoYoverse). Players can expect to receive 300 Polychromes for bug fixes and an additional 300 for the technical work related to the ZZZ 1.5 update, all delivered directly to their in-game mail.

Astra Yao, classified as an S-rank agent, excels as a powerful support character. Beyond her singing talents, she plays a crucial role in restoring allies' HP and providing them with significant damage boosts. When her abilities are utilized effectively, squad members can initiate attack chains and quick assists more frequently, dealing substantial damage to enemies. This makes Astra Yao an invaluable addition to any team looking to enhance their combat strategy.
