The Basketball Zero update just dropped a major content expansion, featuring two brand-new play styles — FETCH and QUICK — along with a surprise Ace rework, a new Chemical Reaction mechanic for Sniper, and a bunch of fixes and quality-of-life improvements. This patch not only redefines how players approach movement and reaction on the court, but also introduces exciting awakened abilities and reactive cosmetics.
Whether you’re into fast-paced defense, clutch passes, or looking to master new meta-changing mechanics, here’s everything you need to know about the latest update.
FETCH Style – Dive, Float, and Catch
The FETCH Style (Epic rarity) is designed for players who thrive on aggressive plays and fast reactions to loose balls. This style rewards positioning, hustle, and defensive timing.
Regular Abilities:
Dive – Allows you to dive after a missed shot or block to catch the loose ball. You land on your feet so you can instantly dribble afterward.
Floater – A classic layup move, but from farther away than usual. Simple and clean, perfect for breaking through pressure.
Awakened Abilities:
Catch. – This ability lets you intercept a shot or pass if an enemy is close. It’s a powerful defensive tool that can flip possession in critical moments.
FETCH style fits players who want to play both ends of the court, turning defense into fast-paced offense.
QUICK Style – Speed and Simplicity
The QUICK Style (Rare rarity) is all about speed and responsiveness. With basic yet effective tools, it supports players who need to cover ground quickly and maintain tempo.
Regular Abilities:
Dash – A fast, simple movement burst to reposition.
Boost – Temporarily increases your running speed. Great for fast breaks or escaping defenders.
Awakened Abilities:
SPEED. – Grants a massive speed boost and automatically dribbles to prevent ball steals. Ideal for sprinting down the court under pressure.
QUICK is perfect for players who want consistent movement support, making them a constant presence across the floor.
Ace Rework – More Versatile Than Ever
Ace has received a full rework in this patch, giving the style new depth and dynamic mechanics:
Updated Abilities:
Athletic Drive – Now an unpredictable dribble move, making it harder to read or block.
Instinct Dash (off-the-ball) – Triggers when you don’t have the ball, sending you dashing toward the ball automatically — perfect for closing gaps.
Awakened Abilities:
100% Drive – Propels you across the court at high speed. If you make it to the dunk zone, it sets you up for a clean slam.
Missile – A diagonal dash that picks up a loose ball and instantly hurls it into the hoop with incredible speed.
Ace now rewards awareness and timing, making it one of the most dynamic styles post-rework.
Sniper x Chemical Reaction – New Synergy Mechanic
A brand-new mechanic called Chemical Reaction has been added for Sniper users.
Trigger Conditions:
Pass to a Sniper using their awakened state
Must be standing on or beyond the three-point line
Must pass while they jump
When executed correctly, this creates a super fast 3-point shot, boosting Sniper’s offensive threat in coordinated plays.
This opens up new team synergy potential for clutch perimeter plays and gives Sniper a more active role in duo and ranked matches.
