You can begin pre-farming for Lighter in ZZZ now!

Lighter is coming soon as a playable character in Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ) version 1.3! If you’re interested in farming for him, here are all of the materials that Lighter needs in ZZZ.

Lighter is an S-rank Fire Stun unit. He is a member of the Sons of Calydon alongside Caesar, Burnice, Piper, and Lucy. While he isn't the first S-rank Fire Stun unit (hello, Koleda!), Lighter is the first male limited character in ZZZ.

Lighter’s kit revolves around strong Fire attacks that can easily build up Daze and Stun enemies.
