OMG, the Zenless Zone Zero leaks for Version 1.7 just dropped, and I'm literally vibrating with excitement! 🤯 Remember when we fought those Corrupted Bandits? Well, hold onto your Bangboos because they're evolving into a terrifying new Ruthless Fiend variant! Check out this beastly model leak – those spiked claws and hulking frame give me chills. Is this HoYoverse's way of testing how fast our hearts can race? zzz-version-1-7-leaks-new-ruthless-fiend-boss-playable-hugo-vivian-hype-image-0

Seriously, who else screamed when they saw Hugo and Vivian becoming playable? 🙋‍♀️ I mean, we met them during the Grand Marcel Adventure event in 1.5, and Hugo even popped up in Lycaon's story! Now we get to unleash their skills ourselves – talk about NPC glow-ups. But wait, what if this new Ruthless Fiend boss ties into their backstories? The leak didn't confirm if it's for Expert Challenge or Notorious Hunt, but imagine facing this monstrosity with Hugo's tanky moves!

HoYoverse isn't stopping there though. Version 1.7 (dropping April 23!) is packing:

  • 🔥 Grand Marcel Adventure event rerun (yesss, more Marcel chaos!)

  • 🐾 Two new Bangboos (always need more cute companions)

  • 💫 Jane Doe & Lighter reruns (perfect for newer proxies)

Looking back, ZZZ's boss roster has been fire lately:

Update Boss Type Enemy Purpose
1.6 Expert Challenge Lumberjack mecha Anby/Trigger materials
1.4 Notorious Hunt Sacrifice-Bringer Story climax
1.7 (leaked) ??? Ruthless Fiend variant TBD

Honestly, why does every update feel like Christmas? 🎁 From the Lumberjack mecha farming to Sacrifice-Bringer's epic debut, HoYoverse keeps feeding us. But let's be real – the Ruthless Fiend's design has me nervous. Those claws could shred through defenses like paper! Will Vivian's agility save us, or will Hugo need to shield-spam?

Beyond the hype, I've got a personal wish: deeper Hollow lore reveals through these bosses. Corrupted enemies always hint at Eridu's mysteries, right? Maybe Version 1.7 will finally explain why these Bandits keep mutating. Fingers crossed for more environmental storytelling during the Grand Marcel rerun too!

So... who else is counting days until April 23? 🙋‍♂️ This update's mix of nostalgia (event rerun), strategy (new boss), and fresh units (Hugo/Vivian) might just be ZZZ's best yet. Though low-key worried my Bangboo army will judge me when I inevitably die to those spiked claws. 😅
