Phase 1 Event Overview
Version 2.6 Phase 1 runs February 6-March 4, 2026 (some sources say February 27—likely regional differences). Sunna debuts as S-Rank Physical Support from Angels of Delusion faction.
Gilded Surprise: Wonderful Boo-ns (February 14-23) delivers 25 total draws via daily logins plus special Bangboo Badge period. Combined with Shiyu Defense and Hollow Zero Operation Matrix, Phase 1 offers one of the most generous reward pools yet.
For players planning pulls, understanding ZZZ W-Engine banner mechanics helps determine if Sunna's signature Cloudcleave Radiance is worth pursuing. BitTopup offers secure Polychrome top-ups with competitive pricing for limited banners.

Event Rewards & Shop Priorities
Master Tape Sources
16 Encrypted Master Tapes from:
- Event milestones (Angels of Delusion, A Harmony of Delusions)
- Monthly login
- Shiyu Defense floors
- Hollow Zero first clears
Master Tapes = 1:1 pull value. Prioritize over materials in shops.
Shop Priority Order
- Encrypted Master Tapes (direct pull value)
- Limited cosmetics (never return)
- W-Engine Energy Modules (progression bottleneck)
- Senior Investigator Logs (versatile)
- Drive Disc materials (optimization)
- Dennies (farmable—worst shop value)
Pan Yinhu Culinary Jewel Outfit: Exclusive to A Harmony of Delusions. Never returns—highest priority for collectors.
Biggest Fan S-Rank Bangboo: If available via event, prioritize over farmable materials.
Team Compositions
F2P Teams
Physical Core:
- Main DPS: Physical dealer
- Support: Defensive buffer
- Utility: Crowd control
- Bangboo: Biggest Fan (50% CRIT Rate, 100% CRIT DMG, 110 Anomaly Mastery)
Elemental Flex:
- Main DPS: Highest-invested Agent
- Sub-DPS: Anomaly specialist
- Support: Healer/shielder
- Bangboo: Faction-matching
Week 1's 5,000 score is achievable with starter teams.
Premium Options
Sunna Physical Team:
- Main DPS: Physical dealer
- Support: Sunna (S-Rank Physical Support)
- Sub-DPS: Anomaly applicator
- Bangboo: Biggest Fan
Sunna's signature Cloudcleave Radiance (713 base ATK, 60% Energy Regen) accelerates ultimate cycling.
Element Synergies
- Physical Vulnerability: Angels of Delusion enemies take increased Physical damage
- Anomaly Susceptibility: Reduced Anomaly resistance—Biggest Fan's 110 Anomaly Mastery excels
- Energy Regen: Cloudcleave's 60% enables frequent ultimates
Agent Substitutions
- Missing Physical DPS: Use highest-invested Agent regardless of element
- Missing Sunna: Any ATK buffer/healer maintains functionality
- Missing S-Rank Bangboo: A-Rank Bangboos at 70-80% effectiveness
- Missing Signature W-Engines: Standard W-Engines at higher refinement often outperform base signatures
Investment depth > roster breadth. Fully-built A-Ranks clear content better than poorly-built S-Ranks.
Common Mistakes
Missing Time-Limited Windows
- DREAMINGANGEL: Expires Feb 2—just 4 days after distribution
- Bangboo Badge: Feb 17-21 gives 4 daily draws vs 1—missing this loses 20 draws (2,000 Polychrome value)
- Angels of Delusion: Ends Feb 9—don't delay
Solution: Set calendar reminders for event start/end dates.
Shop Errors
- Buying Dennies First: Worst conversion rate—always buy limited items + Master Tapes first
- Ignoring Cosmetics: Pan Yinhu outfit never returns
- Buying Unneeded Materials: Prioritize immediate use over stockpiling
- Forgetting Claims: Some shops require manual claiming—do it before expiration
Overlooked Objectives
- Little Golden Carp: Check all five thresholds (100/400/600/800/1,200)
- Shiyu Partial Rewards: Each floor gives Polychromes—don't abandon after Floor 1
- Hollow Zero First Clears: Substantial bonuses beyond weekly 4,640
- Event Dialogue: Some rewards lock behind specific choices
Team Building Errors
- Ignoring Elements: Physical emphasis for Angels of Delusion
- No Survivability: Include one support/healer
- Bangboo Neglect: 10-15% of team damage
- Under-Leveled Agents: Hollow Zero needs level 40+
Stamina Waste
- Exceeding 240 Cap: Regen stops at cap—log in twice daily
- Forgetting Coff Coffee: 60 daily = 420/week
- Inefficient Farming: Prioritize time-limited over permanent content
- Not Using Sweeps: Deep Cleaning Service Card saves 10-15 min/session
Phase 1 vs Phase 2
Reward Comparison
Version 2.6 Phase 1: 26,390 Polychromes + 16 Tapes (181 pulls)—15-20% increase over typical phases. Wonderful Boo-ns' 25 free draws = unprecedented generosity.
Phase 2 Preparation
Phase 2 launches late February/early March:
- New S-Rank Agent (contrasting element/role to Sunna)
- Some events extend (Inter-Knot Membership until March 23)
- New combat challenges
- Shiyu Defense rotation
Resource Allocation
- Polychrome Saving: If Phase 2's Agent appeals more, accumulate Phase 1 earnings without pulling
- Material Stockpiling: If pulling Sunna, invest Phase 2 resources into building her
- Battery Planning: Use transition dead periods for farming
Banner Timing
Sunna runs Feb 6 to March 4 (or Feb 27), overlapping Phase 2 start:
- Early Pulling: Use Sunna in Phase 1 events immediately but commits Polychromes before seeing Phase 2
- Late Pulling: Evaluate Phase 2 first but risks missing Sunna
- Pity: Standard pity carries between banners—calculate if you'll reach 90 before expiration
Don't pull Day 1 unless certain. Waiting 1-2 weeks for feedback costs nothing.
F2P Strategy
Essential vs Optional
Mandatory Daily (15 min):
- Daily Errands (60)
- Inter-Knot claim (90)
- Coff Coffee (60 Battery)
- Wonderful Boo-ns (Feb 14-23)
Weekly High-Value (30-45 min):
- Hollow Zero (4,640)
- Shiyu Defense (800 bi-weekly)
One-Time (1-2 hrs total):
- DREAMINGANGEL (300)
- A Harmony of Delusions (1,200 + cosmetic)
- Angels of Delusion (600-800)
This delivers 90%+ of Polychromes with 60-90 min weekly investment.
Polychrome Saving
- Calculate Pity: 90 pulls guarantees S-Rank. 181 pulls = two S-Ranks at 0 pity
- Evaluate Value: Sunna = Physical Support—useful only if you have Physical DPS
- Avoid Weapon Banners: F2P should skip unless surplus after securing Agents
- Account for Phase 2: Combined phases = 45,000-50,000 Polychromes
- Resist FOMO: Agents rerun, Polychromes don't
Efficiency Analysis
Polychrome-per-Minute:
- Code redemption: 600/min
- Login claims: 360/min
- Wonderful Boo-ns: 125/min
- Hollow Zero: 103/min
- Daily Errands: 6/min
One-time claims vastly outperform combat content. Prioritize quick claims over extended sessions.
Roster Building
- Main DPS: 60-70% of resources
- One Support: 20-30% (healer/shielder/buffer)
- Others: Minimal (level 40, basic gear)
- Avoid Spreading: Concentrate for maximum impact
- Save for Future: Stockpile if current banners don't excite
