Astra Yao is one of the two upcoming S-Rank Agents in Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5. From the leaks, we have learned that she will be an S-Rank Support from the Ether element. In addition, Astra Yao will be a support unit that can both buff and HEAL. That’s right, heal your allies. Learn more about her skills below.
Astra Yao Skills
Astra Yao is a support Agent able to heal your whole team while also providing powerful DMG% and flat ATK buffs. She is a unique character, unlike anything we’ve seen in the game. She is also the first character who will be able to heal. Up until now, players have been required to either dodge or use Caesar’s shield to block incoming attacks and preserve health. However, with the introduction of Astra Yao, that all may change. Below you can see rough translations of her leaked kit. Note that the information below is subject to change before official release, so do not take it at face value.
