Zenless Zone Zero Unveils Hugo’s Signature W-Engine “Myriad Eclipse” Ahead of Release
Zenless Zone Zero continues to build momentum as Version 1.7 heads into its second half, and HoYoverse just revealed a major piece of the puzzle: Hugo Vlad’s signature W-Engine, officially titled Myriad Eclipse. Designed for high-damage Ice characters, this Attack-oriented weapon packs massive Crit stat boosts and a powerful DEF-shredding effect, making it a must-have for Hugo—and potentially other Ice-focused units.
🧊 Hugo Arrives in Version 1.7’s Second Half
The second half of Version 1.7, launching May 14, will finally bring S-Rank Ice Attack character Hugo Vlad into the fold. After his recurring appearances in the game’s main storyline, fans have been eagerly awaiting his debut as a playable unit. Alongside Hugo, players can also look forward to a slate of events, including:
- “Springtime Snapshots”
- “A Tale Through the Looking Glass”
- And more seasonal and story-driven content
But the real headline for DPS-focused players is Hugo’s W-Engine, which is shaping up to be one of the strongest in the game so far.
⚙️ Myriad Eclipse – Hugo’s Signature W-Engine
Base ATK: 713 (at Level 60)
Sub-Stat: +24% Crit Rate
W-Engine Effect – “False Personas”:
- Increases Crit DMG by 45%
- When the user deals Ice DMG using an EX Special Attack, Chain Attack, or Ultimate, they gain the Absolute Zero Death Sentence effect for 3 seconds.
- While active, this effect causes the user to ignore 25% of the enemy’s DEF.
This combination of high Crit Rate, huge Crit DMG, and DEF penetration makes Myriad Eclipse a perfect fit for burst-focused Ice characters, especially those who rely heavily on combos and special attacks.

While Hugo is the main showcase for Myriad Eclipse, he’s not the only one who can put it to good use. Ellen, a launch-day S-Rank Ice Attack unit, could benefit massively from this W-Engine as well. Known for her rapid Ice DMG output and high mobility, Ellen thrives on Crit-based builds—making this new W-Engine a potentially game-changing upgrade for her kit.
