Dual-Form Agents in Zenless Zone Zero: Why Ye Shunguang Is the Ultimate Game-Changer

HoYoverse closed out The Game Awards 2025 with a flashy Zenless Zone Zero tease, and the headline is simple: meet Ye Shunguang, a Void Hunter from Yunkui Summit and the game’s first dual-form Agent. It is a very slick reveal, and it quietly hints at where ZZZ’s combat design is headed next.

So, who is Ye Shunguang?

Story-wise, she slots right into the current ZZZ arc as a Void Hunter tied to Yunkui Summit. Gameplay-wise, she is a front-and-center damage dealer in the Miyabi/Yi Xuan lane: the main DPS you build your team around. And timing-wise, expect her to arrive as the marquee pull for Version 2.5, which is lined up for the very end of December 2025. If you are saving currency, that’s your window.

What dual-form actually means (and what it doesn’t)

Dual-form in ZZZ does not mean two elements or attributes. It is about two combat states you can swap between, changing your tempo and toolkit on the fly.

Her base state is quick, grounded sword work that builds resources. Once you meet the trigger condition, she flips into an empowered state that pushes her into a more aggressive, air-focused style. In that second mode, her damage type shifts to Honed Edge, her move list gets larger, and she unlocks big finisher options. The idea is less about looping one rotation forever and more about choosing when to stay grounded versus when to cash out and soar.

The team-play wrinkle

This is where the design gets a little nerdy in a good way. Her kit is built to play nicely with assists, defensive swaps, and Ether Veil effects that allies can trigger. She looks more involved than most current Agents, which is probably the point: if she lands, expect more characters built around mode-switching and deeper team timing.

The Game Awards trailer, and a 2026 tease

The reveal trailer shows Ye carving up the screen with rapid sword bursts, which explains why the official channels were hyping her so hard. Alongside her, the show also teased Angels of Delusion, a dreamy idol group set to perform inside ZZZ’s world. That is not just a random flavor drop; it is a breadcrumb for what’s next.

"More post-apocalyptic urban adventure coming in 2026."

Community channels followed up with extra clips from the new trailer as well, so you will be seeing a lot of airborne slashes in your feed this week.

What to expect next

• Release window: Version 2.5, targeting the very end of December 2025.
• Role: Main DPS, comparable lane to Miyabi and Yi Xuan.
• Mechanics: Two forms — grounded resource builder into an aerial, Honed Edge-heavy payoff mode with expanded skills and finishers.
• Team fit: Designed around assists, defensive swaps, and ally-triggered Ether Veil effects.
• Story tie-in: Void Hunter from Yunkui Summit, aligned with the ongoing narrative.
• Beyond 2.5: Angels of Delusion teased for a later 2026 window, as ZZZ leans into its post-apocalyptic city pop vibe.
• Big picture: First dual-form Agent is almost certainly a trial balloon for more complex character designs. If Ye hits, expect more like her.

Bottom line: Ye Shunguang looks like HoYoverse giving ZZZ’s combat a shot of espresso. If you enjoy characters that reward timing and switching, this is your banner. If you prefer set-it-and-forget-it rotations, she might be a learning curve — but a fun one.
