Banyue combat and other animations in Zenless Zone Zero, according to leaks

As specified, Banyue was officially revealed on October 12, 2025, via the Zenless Zone Zero 2.4 drip marketing. As such, he is confirmed to debut in the upcoming update. Considered as Shifu by people in the Waifei Peninsula, Banyue uses his Rupture fighting style to fend off foes and inflict Fire damage on targets.

While HoYoverse has yet to disclose the agent's official kit, players can see his capabilities in the preview shared by Dimbreath. Banyue likes to close in on targets, as he relies on his bare fist instead of a weapon to deal damage. He launches a series of jabs before finishing the basic combo with a mountain punch and a spinning kick.

Special stance

Ad

Banyue is designed as a martial artist who can also manifest multiple arms upon entering an enraged mode. He then ruthlessly jabs the ground near the opponent, dealing massive Fire damage. While in the special stance, he can further summon rocks and unleash a ranged attack. His iconic move is the one where he spawns two giant pillars to crash the enemy.

Ultimate animation

Banyue’s ultimate animation is fascinating, like his other movesets. Upon activating the ability, he floats in the air and rains down multiple rock orbs around the opponent. The target in the area of effect will receive Fire damage.

Krampus Compliance Authority's Banyu is expected to debut in update 2.4 of ZZZ. His banner will likely arrive in the second phase of the patch given the drip marketing order. The update is expected to launch around November 26, 2025, with the conclusion of Yidhari's banner from version 2.3.
