Soft tip: if you still need Polychrome for Remielle or a Mindscape push after claiming the gift, ZZZ top up on BitTopup only needs your UID and server.
ZZZ 3.1 Free Agent Selector Quick Pick Table
Updated on 2026-08-05: Version 3.1 Marcel Anniversary Gift picks aligned with current Rupture / Anomaly roles.
Your situation | Pick Agent | Pick W-Engine | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
You run Rupture (Yixuan, Banyue, related DPS) and lack Lucia | Lucia | Lucia’s signature | Largest score gap on Rupture floors; no real substitute yet |
You pull Remielle / run Velina Anomaly and lack Jane | Jane Doe | Sharpened Stinger | Strong Anomaly DPS; Remielle synergy; M2 is a real spike |
You already own Lucia M0+ and also own Jane | Jane Mindscape (M2 first) or keep saving the gift | Match the Agent you invest | Jane’s early Mindscapes beat most other duplicates |
You own Jane; you do not play Rupture | Hold Lucia only if you plan Rupture later | Prefer Jane’s engine if you main her | Shop / other routes exist for Jane |
No Seed / no Sicia, empty Electric Attack slot, you own Orphie + Trigger or Dialyn | Soldier 0 Anby | Her signature only if you commit to her | Viable Electric carry; loses to newer Electrics if you skip her teammates |
You main Ellen and lack Heartstring Nocturne | Skip Hugo as Agent | Myriad Eclipse (Hugo’s signature) | Near-Heartstring crit stick; Ellen can use it |
You love Hugo or already sit at Hugo M1 | Hugo (for M2) | Myriad Eclipse | M2 is huge; base Hugo needs heavy Stun investment |
You lack a premium Stun and refuse other options | Trigger (last resort) | Trigger’s signature | Half her kit lives on the engine; often outclassed |
Selector priority (most players)
Lucia + her W-Engine if you touch Rupture at all and do not own her.
Jane + Sharpened Stinger if Anomaly / Remielle is your path, or you want her M2.
Soldier 0 Anby only with Orphie and a fitting Stun (Trigger or Dialyn).
Hugo / Trigger as heart picks or signature-only cases; skip for best-value accounts.
What’s in the Marcel Anniversary Gift
Version 3.1 lets you claim:
One limited S-Rank Agent from: Lucia, Jane Doe, Soldier 0 Anby, Trigger, Hugo
One limited S-Rank W-Engine from the matching selector pool (you can split Agent and engine)
Extra anniversary mail (Polychromes, title, avatar, and related login rewards)
You choose both. No 50/50. Claim after you audit your roster; the gift does not expire the second you log in.
Spending-track Filmgoer Thank You (separate from Marcel) can open another limited pick among Astra / Vivian / Seed. For most wallets, Astra still wins as the flexible support; Vivian fits Abloom / Anomaly; Seed needs a dedicated plan.
Agent Breakdown: Who Solves What
Lucia: default for Rupture accounts
Lucia fills the Rupture support seat. Without her, Rupture clears drop by roughly 10k to 15k points on tight floors. The team has talked about future alternatives, but none replace her today. Panda substitutes do not close that gap.
Pick Lucia if:
You own or plan Yixuan / Banyue / other Rupture DPS
You want long shelf life from a support instead of another Attack Agent
You still need her signature for build comfort and team damage
Skip Lucia if you refuse Rupture forever and already locked into Anomaly or Electric hypercarry.
Jane Doe: Anomaly winner in 3.1
Jane keeps winning. Version 3.1 buffs and Remielle’s debut push Physical Anomaly teams. Her best seat sits next to Velina, then Remielle when you pull her. Early Mindscapes rank among the strongest in the game. M2 feeds Velina and mono-Physical lines with Alice or similar partners.
Pick Jane if:
You build Anomaly and already have Velina, Nangong Yu, Yuzuha, or Remielle plans
You own Jane at M0 / M1 and want the M2 spike
You want a DPS the free gift can finish without waiting for a rerun
Hold Jane’s selector copy if you can buy her (or her engine) through the shop path later and your account still lacks Lucia for Rupture. Sharpened Stinger also works on Alice and Piper when you lack Practiced Perfection.
Soldier 0 Anby: Electric only with the right bench
Soldier 0 Anby clears as an Electric Attack Agent after her potential unlock, but she leans on Orphie plus Dialyn or Trigger. Seed and Sicia outpace her on many accounts. Her signature is a crit-damage stick many Agents can borrow. Heartstring Nocturne and Myriad Eclipse win when crit rate is hard to stack.
Pick her if you have zero Electric Attack options and you already built Orphie with Trigger or Dialyn. Otherwise leave her.
Trigger: signature tax
Trigger generates Daze off-field, but much of her value sits behind her signature. She helps Soldier 0 Anby and some Electric lines, then loses seats to Nicole, Sona, Dialyn, or Nangong Yu depending on the boss. M1 is fine. The Agent plus engine package loses to Lucia or Jane for a once-a-year gift.
Take Trigger’s engine only if you already main her and play without the signature. Skip the Agent for meta value.
Hugo: heart pick or M2 project
Hugo’s Totalize Ice burst needs Stun partners (Lycaon, Lighter, Trigger, and similar). He falls behind newer Attack Agents unless you invest hard. His M2 ranks among the strongest Mindscape 2 upgrades in the game. Myriad Eclipse plays like a slightly weaker Heartstring Nocturne and covers Ellen when you lack her signature.
Pick Hugo if you already love the team, sit at M1, or only want Myriad Eclipse for Ellen. Skip him as a “safe” free S-Rank.

FAQ
Who should I pick from the ZZZ 3.1 free agent selector?
Pick Lucia if you play Rupture and lack her. Pick Jane if you play Anomaly or chase Remielle. Most other accounts land on those two. Soldier 0 Anby, Trigger, and Hugo need specific benches or preference.
Should I pick the Agent or the W-Engine first?
Pick the Agent that unlocks a team. Then match their signature unless Ellen needs Myriad Eclipse more than your new Agent needs theirs. Splitting is allowed; mismatched engines waste less than a wrong Agent.
Is Jane better than Lucia in Version 3.1?
Jane wins for Anomaly and Remielle plans. Lucia wins for Rupture longevity. Jane also appears in shop routes, so Rupture mains often take Lucia from the gift and chase Jane later.
Can I use the selector for Mindscapes?
Yes. Jane M2 and Lucia M1 / M2 are strong. Prefer a missing Agent over a duplicate unless that Mindscape finishes a team you already play daily.
Is Trigger still worth the anniversary selector?
For most rosters, no. She needs her signature, and newer Stun / support options steal her seats. Take her only if you main her kit and still lack the engine.
Conclusion
Map your roles before you claim. Lucia locks Rupture. Jane locks Anomaly. Soldier 0 Anby, Trigger, and Hugo only pay off with the right bench or preference. Claim after you map Remielle plans and your Stun seats, then spend Polychrome on the banner that completes that team. Keep this page for event updates, and use BitTopup ZZZ top-up when you need Monochrome without sharing your password.
