Every banner in ZZZ 1.2

The banners of this phase will focus on Burnice White and her signature V-Engine, Flamemaker Shaker, with her character banner including Lucy and Nicole as the course-up A-Rank agents, while each of their signature A-Rank V-Engines, Kaboom the Cannon and the Vault, respectively, will Feature like rate-ups on your W-Engine banner.

She’s a versatile addition to almost any team, but her banner A-ranks, Anton and Piper, are somewhat less valuable. Burnise, on the other hand, isn’t quite as unique (although she is still the first Fire Anomaly agent), but her banner features Lucy and Nicole, two of the best A-rank supports in the game.
After a relatively small update in 1.1, Zenless Zone Zero 1.2 is looking to be a major step-up, with the game’s first main story continuity and an entirely new area to explore.
