Lighter is officially coming to Zenless Zone Zero. Here’s everything we know about the fist fighter.
MiHoYo has officially introduced Lighter in Zenless Zone Zero, the third character in line for release. Lighter possesses the Fire Attribute and a specialization in Stun, hailing from the Sons of Calydon faction. Lighter's arrival in ZZZ will likely mark a significant moment in ZZZ's roster, as Lighter might be the first limited male character with an S-Rank rarity.

Agent Rank Attribute Specialty Faction |      | Lighter S-Rank (?) Fire Stun Sons of Calydon |
As the fifth member of the Sons of Calydon faction, Lighter rides alongside his motorbike gang, which comprises notable characters like Piper Wheel, Lucy, and Caesar King, with the upcoming Burnice White joining the ranks soon.
According to the recently revealed Agent Records, Lighter exuded a magnetic confidence and referred to himself as the "undefeated champion." This is likely tied to his prowess in the high-octane Outer Ring racing competition known as Tour de Inferno - which is also the name of the next chapter in ZZZ's main story.
One of Lighter's standout features is his distinctive fist-fighting style—he relies solely on his physical abilities rather than traditional weapons. This approach sets him apart from many other characters in Zenless Zone Zero, and players are even more excited to pull the charming biker.

This shift may reflect the growing demand for male characters in gacha games. By introducing Lighter as an S-Rank, miHoYo is likely responding to feedback from the community.
When is Lighter coming out in Zenless Zone Zero?
Players are eagerly anticipating Lighter's arrival in ZZZ, which is expected in the upcoming version 1.3 update of Zenless Zone Zero.
