All ZZZ Currencies Explained
Zenless Zone Zero has the same type of currencies as most other gacha games, just with fancy names. There’s a premium currency that can be exchanged for pulls, character upgrade materials, and more. Here’s a table explaining most of the ZZZ currencies in Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail terms.
Zenless Zone Zero Gacha Rates
Since Zenless Zone Zero is a Hoyoverse game, its gacha rates are basically the same as Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail.
There are multiplebanners(Signal Searches) available in Zenless Zone Zero as well. Limited characters are available on theExclusive Channel, and this is where the new and exciting characters will be. TheStable Channelis the standard banner containing the base set of S-Rank and A-Rank characters. If you need weapons, then theW-Engine Channelis for you. The same goes for theBangboo Channel, which is the main source of Bangboos.
Zenless Zone Zero Pity System Explained
Zenless Zone Zero does have apity system, so you’ll eventually get the character you want if you throw enough cash and resources at the game. ZZZ has bothhard and soft pitylike other Hoyoverse games, so you can plan around the pity system to maximize your chances of getting a featured banner character.
Hard Pity in ZZZ
Hard pity is 90 pulls, so you’re guaranteed to get an S-Rank item from a banner at 90 pulls no matter what. Pity does not transfer between banner types, but it does remain as new banners come and go. That means the pity you build on the limited banner won’t apply to the standard banner, but the limited bannerpity will not resetwhenever a new character is released.
Soft Pity in ZZZ
Soft pity begins at 75 pulls. This will gradually increase your chances of pulling an S-Rank character, W-Engine, or Bangboo as you approach the hard pity limit. Most of the time, you’ll pull an S-Rank during the soft pity phase, but there are times when you’ll get unlucky and have to do a full 90 pulls to get the character you want.
Zenless Zone Zero 50/50 Explained
While you’re guaranteed to get an S-Rank character eventually, that doesn’t mean it’ll be the one you want. That’s where the50/50 systemcomes into play. When you pull your first S-Rank on a banner, it has a50% chanceof being the featured character or item. For example, if you get an S-Rank when trying to pull forEllen Joe, you’re able to either get her or someone else from the standard banner pool. If you lose the 50/50 and end up with someone else, however, the second S-Rank you pull from a banner is guaranteed to be the featured unit.
How to Build Pity in Zenless Zone Zero
Some players like tobuild pityin gacha games, and you’re able to do this fairly easily in Zenless Zone Zero. If a character is coming up and they’re on your wishlist, you can start pulling on existing banners before they arrive in order to get closer to the soft and hard pity caps. This will make it easier to obtain an S-Rank on an upcoming banner when it arrives.
Should You Build Pity in ZZZ?
However,we strongly advise against building pity.There’s always a chance that you’ll end up pulling an S-Rank character while trying to build pity, which will reset your pity count and render the entire process a failure. It’s better to just save your Master Tapes and pull on the banner that you actually want. Just save up enoughPolychrome and Master Tapesfor 90 pulls if you want to guarantee pity for an upcoming character.
Should You Reroll in Zenless Zone Zero?
If you’ve played gacha games before, then you’re probably already familiar with thererollingprocess. If you’re new to the scene, however, then rerolling is the process of creating new accounts to take advantage of free beginner bonuses and currencies until you get the S-Rank characters that you want.
New accounts are showered with free stuffin Zenless Zone Zero, and you’re guaranteed to get an S-Rank within the first 50 pulls on the standard banner as well. Plus, the first 50 pulls are discounted. you may also use the free Polychrome on a fresh account to test your luck and pull for limited S-Rank characters, too. If you have the patience, you can end up with a very valuable account by going through the rerolling process.
Rererolling takes quite some time in Zenless Zone Zero, however, and you’ll have to sit through a fewunskippable cutscenes and long tutorialsbefore you unlock the gacha system. You’ll also need to put in the time to actually obtain the free currencies and rewards for beginners as well, so it’s a pretty big time sink.We don’t recommend doing itunless you really, really want a certain character.
How to Reroll in Zenless Zone Zero
If you do decide to reroll in Zenless Zone Zero, all you need to do iscreate a fresh Hoyoverse account. Then, just play through the opening stages of the game until you unlock theSignal Searchsystem. At that point, it’s time to gamble. You can keep playing on that account to earn more currency and try your luck on more banners, but most people tend to abandon accounts after the first few pulls if they don’t turn out perfectly.
Remember that Hoyoverse accounts are notoriously hard to link and unlink to other platforms, so rerolling could mess up yourcross-platform savesif you want to play Zenless Zone Zero on other devices. If you’re starting fresh, ensure that your rerolled account is perfect before you link it to social media platforms or PlayStation Network.
