🌴 New Regions: Welcome to Sailume Bay and Fantasy Resort
Two stunning new locations debut in Version 2.1:

🔥 Meet the New Agents: Yuzuha and Alice Join the Roster
Two powerful S-Rank agents join the ever-growing Zenless roster:

Plus, Miss Esme, a graceful S-Rank Bangboo, joins the support ranks, enhancing team energy and HP recovery. Returning favorites Miyabi (Frost Anomaly) and Yanagi (Electric Anomaly) will also feature in Version 2.1 banners.
