HoYoverse announced during the Ver.3.2 preview program on August 28 that the action RPG Zenless Zone Zero will receive its Ver.3.2 update, titled "Secrets, the Past, and Them," on September 9. The update introduces the new Sharp Guard attribute, debuting with S-Rank Agent Claratta, an Electric character voiced by Kana Ueda. Claratta appears in the first half of the version's exclusive channel, while the second S-Rank Agent, Roxy, a Wind Stun character voiced by Chinatsu Akasaki, appears in the second half. The main story moves to Hydshore, where the Proxy investigates the disappearance of alloys from the Frings Workshop, leading to a secret research facility connected to the Helios Institute. The Sharp Guard attribute balances offense and defense, featuring a Severe Wound system and a multi-crit mechanic. Players can earn Delusion Angel faction costumes for free through events in Ver.3.2 and Ver.3.3, including the 14-day login event "Surprise Screening Project" and the limited-time "Pop! Pinball Night!" event. Login rewards include Encrypted Master Tape x10 and Bangboo Ticket x10. The update also strengthens Agent Kreta and improves Extreme Support judgment.
- Claratta is the first Sharp Guard Agent, and her skill damage scales off DEF. When crit rate passes 100%, the excess triggers extra crits, with damage calculated using Fierce Strike Damage instead of crit damage.
- A portion of Claratta's starting crit damage converts into starting crit rate, making DEF, crit rate, and crit damage the key stats for building her.
- The Sharp Guard attribute can trigger Counter Support, which pushes back and nullifies certain enemies' Suppression Skills.
- Roxy is a Wind Stun Agent who fights using the Eye of the Storm. Holding the enhanced special skill creates a tornado that summons the Eye of the Storm, and gathering them forms a massive vortex. Her Ultimate generates multiple tornadoes for a wide-area hit.
- The main story follows Claratta and Roxy investigating missing alloys from the Frings Workshop, with the Proxy getting caught up in it. The trail leads to a secret research facility tied to the Helios Institute, where a mysterious former classmate, an old friend, and the past Sunbringer kept hidden are revealed.
- Nan Gong Yu and Promeya get reruns in Ver.3.2 alongside the new Agents.
- The permanent content Mystery of the Lost Path: Bagel Plan gets a season update. Ver.3.2 is a Normal Season, adding Z-rank valuables, Agent weapons, all-server rankings, and a new Messenger Beacon item that calls a Bangboo to bring back supplies. A larger Theme Season with new maps and systems is in development.
- The VR Training Room gains a dedicated Sharp Guard stage, and the Fund Gift adds the Blood Box W-Engine, exchangeable for Proof of the Great Builder in future versions.
