Zenless Zone Zero 2nd Anniversary Celebration

10 min read

Zenless Zone Zero has just turned 2 years old and HoYoverse is pulling out all the stops. Version 3.1 "The Long Goodbye" officially launches July 29, 2026, bringing the biggest anniversary package in the game's history: a free limited S-Rank Agent selector, a free W-Engine, 1,600 Polychrome, 20 free pulls, a brand new permanent game mode, and the single most important topup event of the year the Monochrome Market first purchase bonus is getting a full reset.

Whether you're a veteran proxy or someone who just downloaded the game, this guide covers everything every free reward, both new agents, build guides, tier list, banner strategy, and how to get the most value out of your topup before this window closes.

What Is Version 3.1 and Why Is It the Biggest Update Yet?

Version 3.1, titled "The Long Goodbye," lands on July 29, 2026 coinciding precisely with ZZZ's second anniversary. The update introduces two brand new S-Rank Agents, the game's first ever Lumiflux attribute character, a new permanent game mode, major system improvements, and the largest reward drop in the game's two year history.

Version 3.1 continues the Roscaelifer arc that opened in 3.0. Both Remielle Dan and Sigrid are directly tied to the storyline surrounding the floating sky city and its mysterious history. In other words, this isn't just a reward event it's a story milestone.

Version 3.1 also marks the launch of the Zenless Zone Zero Xbox PC version, expanding the game's cross-platform availability.

Every Free Reward You Can Claim in Version 3.1

  • Free Limited S-Rank Agent Selector You Pick the One You Want

Log in during the event to receive a limited S-Rank Agent of your choice along with the corresponding exclusive W-Engine, plus Polychrome ×1,600, and an exclusive anniversary avatar and title.

Your five choices:

  • Jane Doe - Anomaly / Physical

  • Soldier 0: Anby - Assault / Electric

  • Trigger -Intimidation / Electric

  • Lucia - Support / Ether

  • Hugo - Assault / Ice

Who should you pick? If you don't have a solid support yet, Lucia is the safest long term value pick. Jane Doe remains one of the strongest damage dealers in the game. Trigger excels in stun-focused teams. Pick based on which role your current roster is missing most.

  • 20 Encrypted Master Tapes + 10 Boopons

Participate in the check-in event to claim Encrypted Master Tape ×20 and Boopon ×10. That's roughly 30 free pulls enough to push meaningfully toward pity on whichever banner you're targeting.

  • 1,600 Polychrome + 600 Extra Polychrome

HoYoverse distributed 1,000 Polychrome as a login reward ahead of Version 3.1. Players who haven't claimed all available rewards can also collect an additional 600 Polychrome alongside bonus resources including Ether Batteries and Dennies.

Combined with the Master Tapes, that's the equivalent of well over 30 pulls just from free rewards alone.

  • Free Lucy Outfit "Princess on Holiday"

Participate in the "Summer Waves Roll In" event to claim Lucy's swimsuit outfit "Princess on Holiday" for free. One of the cleanest free cosmetics the game has given out.

  • New Permanent Mode Enigma of the Labyrinth: Operation Bagel

Version 3.1 adds a new permanent game mode called "Enigma of the Labyrinth: Operation Bagel." Players explore stages to gather supplies and valuable loot, improve their strength, safely evacuate before the time limit expires, and invest collected supplies into research station infrastructure. The mode follows a seasonal update cycle and shares weekly progress with Hollow Zero. Each season brings exclusive rewards so getting in early matters.

Monochrome Market Reset The Real Reason to Top Up Right Now

The first purchase double bonus in the Monochrome Market will be fully reset when Version 3.1 launches.

Here's exactly what that means: the Monochrome Market gives every player a 2x bonus on their first purchase at each tier. Once you've claimed it, it's gone until now. With Version 3.1, every tier resets back to "first purchase" status regardless of whether you've topped up before.

If you have already used the topup bonus before, it becomes available again, giving you another round of bonus Monochromes.

This happens once a year at most. Spending the same amount you normally would during a regular topup delivers double the Monochromes. Combined with the free pulls and anniversary rewards already in your account, this is the highest-value top-up window ZZZ has ever offered.

New Agent Guide Remielle Dan (Phase 1)

Remielle Dan is a sub-DPS Anomaly agent with a completely new attribute type, Lumiflux, making her the first of her kind in Zenless Zone Zero. Her playstyle is mobile and aggressive: zip in, tag enemies to build Anomaly energy, then detonate with a massive blast. She injects a 30% flat team damage bonus that makes her one of the strongest supports in triple Anomaly team compositions.

  • Best Build for Remielle

Best W-Engine: Poem of the Empty Feather Return (signature). F2P alternatives: Fusion Compiler, Weeping Gemini.

Drive Discs: Four-piece Feathered Fate. Prioritize Anomaly Proficiency as the primary stat target her Mutation triggers scale directly off Proficiency.

Slot 6 stat: Energy Regen is strongly recommended over ATK%. Her value comes partly from how often she can cycle back in to reapply buffs and apply Mutation stacks faster energy means more rotations per fight.

  • Best Team Comps for Remielle

She performs best in triple Anomaly teams alongside Velina and a dedicated Anomaly carry. She is designed for Ether Anomaly teams built around Velina, Aria, and Vivian.

TeamRoleRemielle + Velina + VivianBest Ether Anomaly teamRemielle + Miyabi + VelinaStrong Ice Anomaly use Remielle in second teamRemielle + Piper + SupportF2P friendly option Is she worth pulling? Remielle is the kind of character that's a win if you pull her, a win if you build her, and an even bigger win if you slot her into your team. C0 is completely fine her core kit is already complete and she fits into triple Anomaly teams without any issues.

New Agent Guide Sigrid de L'Azur (Phase 2)

Sigrid de L'Azur is an S-Rank Ice Attack main DPS arriving in Version 3.1 Phase 2. She is a burst-window carry whose kit revolves around a special Knight's Focus state that unlocks escalating Alt Attacks across three stages her damage comes from compressing her full sequence into a stun window.

  • Best Build for Sigrid

Best W-Engine: Her signature W-Engine that stacks CRIT DMG. Drive Discs: Woodpecker Electro. Stat priority: CRIT DMG as the main stat her Core Passive already grants a large chunk of CRIT Rate built in, so CRIT DMG is where you stack.

  • Best Team Comps for Sigrid

Sigrid is expected to be easier to build a team around than Remielle because her main job is simply to stay on the field and deal damage. Newer players may find her more immediately useful.

Astra Yao provides top-tier support for Sigrid her Idyllic Cadenza state gives all squad members a 20% DMG increase and a 25% CRIT DMG boost.

Is she worth pulling? Sigrid is an exceptional addition to any roster. Her main strengths include a massive easy to trigger 50% CRIT Rate buff built right into her passive kit, alongside incredible invulnerability windows during her heavy-hitting Alt Attacks. M1 is the best bang for your buck if you want to invest vertically delivering a massive 40% damage increase.

Pull advice: If you run Anomaly teams heavily, Remielle is the priority. If you're a newer player or want a more straightforward main DPS, Sigrid is the safer long term investment. The free S-Rank selector covers whoever you miss.

ZZZ Agent Tier List Version 3.1 Meta

Based on Shiyu Defense performance, team synergy, and endgame viability at M0:

Tier Agents Remielle, Miyabi, Velina, Astra Yao, Trigger, Jane Doe Sigrid, Lucia, Caesar, Yanagi, Zhu Yuan, Soldier 0: Anby Hugo, Lighter, Qingyi, Nicole, Soukaku Koleda, Corin, Anton, Billy

💡 Support characters like Astra Yao and Lucia rank high because they enable multiple top-tier teams not just one comp. Always prioritize supports you're missing before pulling another DPS.

FAQ

Q: Is the Monochrome Reset only for new players?
A: No - it resets for everyone. Even if you've topped up multiple times before, all tiers return to first purchase status when Version 3.1 launches.

Q: Can I get both Remielle and Sigrid?
A: Possible with enough Polychrome. With 30 free pulls from check in, 1,600 Polychrome from login, and a top-up, you can realistically target one and get close on the other.

Q: Is the free S-Rank selector permanent or time-limited?
A: It's a limited-time login reward during the anniversary event period. Log in as early as possible after July 29 to claim it.

Q: Do I need Remielle's signature W-Engine?
A: C0 is completely fine her core kit is already complete. The signature W-Engine improves her output but is not required for her to function well in triple Anomaly teams.

Q: Which phase should I pull in if I can only do one?
A: Pull Remielle in Phase 1 if you have an established Anomaly team. Pull Sigrid in Phase 2 if you need a reliable main DPS that's easier to build around. When in doubt, wait for Phase 2 rerun choices and use the free selector for Phase 1.
