Alright Proxies, gather around! Remember when Zenless Zone Zero first launched back in July 2024? Everyone was obsessed with big, flashy Attack and Crit numbers from the likes of Ellen and Zhu Yuan. It was all about the immediate dopamine hit. Meanwhile, characters who specialized in the Anomaly mechanic, like Grace and Piper, kinda got left in the dust. People just slept on that whole playstyle, thinking it was too slow or complicated. Oh, how times have changed! Fast forward a bit, and the community started really crunching the numbers. We realized that Anomaly damage isn't just a side gig—it’s a powerhouse waiting to be unleashed. The potential for massive, scaling damage and triggering those satisfying Disorders was insane. And it seems like HoYoverse was listening, because they decided to drop the ultimate game-changer: the first-ever limited 5-star Anomaly Agent, Jane Doe. Let me tell you, she did not come to play.

So, mark your calendars (well, look back at them now in 2025)! Jane Doe made her grand entrance into New Eridu on September 4, 2024. Her banner, "Phantom of the Roll," ran for the standard three weeks, wrapping up on September 25, 2024. A quick heads-up for those planning future pulls: as the second banner of Version 1.1, she didn't go live right at the daily reset. We all had to wait patiently until 12:00 PM server time for her Signal Search to activate. The anticipation was real!

Who is this mysterious rollerblading queen? Early teasers painted her as a figure from an unknown faction, shrouded in secrecy. But once you dove into her story quest, the truth was revealed: Jane Doe is a key member of Public Security. More specifically, she serves as a Criminal Behavior Specialist for Zhu Yuan's own unit, the Criminal Investigation Special Response Team (CISRT). This connection isn't just lore fluff—it translates directly into killer team synergy.

Her banner was stacked for a reason. HoYoverse wasn't just giving us a strong unit; they were giving us a ready-made team core.

• Featured S-Rank Agent: Jane Doe (Physical, Anomaly)

• Featured A-Rank Agents: Seth (Electric, Support) & Anby (Electric, Stun)

The synergy here is chef's kiss 👌. Seth is practically Jane's personal cheerleader. His kit is designed to buff Anomaly Proficiency and speed up Anomaly Buildup, making Jane's damage ramp up faster and hit harder. Anby, as an Electric-Stun specialist, provides excellent crowd control, grouping enemies up so Jane can shred them all at once. It was a banner that screamed "meta shift."

Speaking of Jane's kit, let's break down why she's so special. While her banner mates are Electric, Jane Doe is a Physical-Anomaly unit. Her DPS doesn't come from one big bonk; it's a relentless onslaught. She zips around on her rollerblades, delivering a rapid flurry of hits and spins to build up her Assault state and stack those Anomaly debuffs on enemies. It's a fluid, aggressive playstyle that feels amazing to master.

But here's the real kicker: her team flexibility. While Seth is her perfect partner, Jane's potential goes far beyond one team.

Dream Team Comps for Jane Doe:

Core Duo	Third Slot (Flex)	Playstyle & Synergy
Jane Doe + Seth	Anby (Control) / Soldier 11 (DPS)	The Premium Core. Seth turbocharges Jane's anomaly dmg. Flex slot for more control or extra damage.
Jane Doe + Grace	Piper (Support) / Rina (Defense)	The Ultimate Anomaly Overload. Mix Physical & Electric anomalies for constant Disorder triggers and non-stop damage.
Jane Doe + Lycaon	Koleda (Stun)	Freeze & Shatter combo. Lycaon applies freeze, Jane shatters with physical anomaly. Great for survivability.

That second comp is particularly nasty. Pairing Jane with Grace creates an anomaly powerhouse. You have two different elements (Physical and Electric) constantly applying their respective debuffs, leading to frequent and powerful Disorder reactions. The damage over time becomes absolutely oppressive. It proved that building teams around multiple anomaly applicators could be more effective than the old "one main DPS + two supports" formula.

Looking back from 2025, Jane Doe's release was a pivotal moment for ZZZ. She didn't just add a new character; she validated an entire combat archetype. She showed us that patience and strategy with anomaly builds could outpace and out-damage the traditional crit-focused play. If you built her, you know the feeling of watching an enemy's health bar melt under a dozen different debuffs. It's a thing of beauty.

So, for any Proxies who might have missed her banner the first time around... let's just say you should be very excited whenever her re-run is announced. She's not just a unit; she's a lesson in how to play Zenless Zone Zero at its most creative and powerful. The era of the Anomaly Agent is here, and Jane Doe is its reigning champion. 🏆
