Just finished Sword Trials event. I don't think it was as good as dedicated Miyabi event, too much words for something they can explain / tell in just a few phrases + the part at the end with the last fight was... uh, I just felt nothing tbh, like, completely nothing and it's not cuz of the characters, more so cuz of writing and how badly they done the whole thing starting from 2.4 (I'm yet to even start 2.5, but I'm not holding my breath). Uh, but at least they gave us an option to use our own characters and a node to Highlander was nice, even if they have their own spin on it. Overall, not bad event, but writing is not great and the whole area you need to explore looked like complete colorless shit so there's absolutely nothing memorable about it.

On a side note, I've more than enough pulls for SAnby's sig now but...

Thick Thighs Save Lives I think I'll wait for you first just to see how much pulls it'll take for you to get it cuz... I have a very bad feeling about these rerun banners

Hmm… I've got 100 pulls saved up so far, plus some monochrome I really don't want to touch unless I have to. I'd like to go for Sanby's M1 first, and depending on how the luck goes, I'll roll for her sig as well. Since this rerun banner has a discount on the first 10 pull. On average it should take around 65 pulls to get her w‑engine, I think.

Tbh, after seeing the idol leaks and how they perform in various team comps in DA, I kinda want to wait for the livestream to check the 2.6 banners and their order, since I want to pull for Chinatsu (Sunna) for Xiao Guang (YSG). There are also rumors they'll rerun Yixuan in 2.6... Idk, I'm kinda torn at the moment.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Man, I wish Hoyo would've livestreamed the ZZZ concert they held in Shanghai yesterday so the EN audience could enjoy it too, especially since they've done it before with HSR and Genshin… The overall production and the live performances looked great from the bits I've seen online.



Edit: Speaking of music, I really dig the BGM they're using in Endless Tower from the Season 2 OST, but the problem is you can't find an official version on YT Music or Spotify since they haven't released the OST outside of China… As someone who listens to game OSTs a lot, it's pretty disappointing. That said, there are at least channels like this one that upload all the music they add every version, although the quality isn't always the best, and unfortunately more than half the tracks in the playlist can't even be played through the YT Music app.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

yeah the song is pretty hype, the whole thing (SUPERNOVA) is lifted pretty much straight from DMC5; been waiting for it to drop on apple music, will probably be fairly soon with the new hyper commission mix.

 

[Spyxos]

Redid the Da fights with a slight score increase.

 

[Cao Cao]

My god half the thread is DA sharing results, what's going on there.
I have not logged in for two weeks now, 2.x became so piss boring.
There is so much unused potential for this game what a shame.

Now you're exaggerating a little. Da/Shiyu is every two weeks; that's just part of the endgame. And not much new has happened in the game since the big update.

We're now complaining about on‑topic discussion like end‑game, which has always been part of the conversation here in the OT? That said, the DA refresh happened on Friday so ofc there will be posts about it.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

There's not much else to talk about when the main content can be done in a few hours and most people in here have noped out of endgame modes.

 

[Icymanipulator]

There's just not a lot to say about the game atm.

I am personally in casual mode for this game now , and I don't plan to pull for any of the young girls so there's very little to be hyped about for the next few months.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

I could barely recognize Yuzuha with this Halloween mod, lol.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

The special rerun banners are up. I like that they actually show whether you've triggered the first guarantee or not. I've also made up my mind and I won't be rolling on these banners. I'll pull for Chinatsu in ver 2.6 and then go from there. Maybe I'll try to grab Aria too, we'll see.

 

[SawBlade]

Just learn of this thread. and that i can just buy the lycaon weapon lol so many wasted pulls and grinding. oh well. My partner grinds it a lot harder than me but it my favorite gotcha to play.

Duuuuuuuuude! Just got SAnby's sig in first 8 (with 20% discount) pulls I thrown at it!

Man! She's better than ever now - gave her ATK Disc for 5th slot so that Seed could buff herself way more, I'll get a hefty Electric DMG bonus from SAnby's sig anyway, so I'm good with that

Thrown another 8 to see if I can get her M2 just as easy but of course I didn't so I stopped there. Dropped the rest of the pulls (with a bunch of refunds) to try and get YSG's M1 early, but at 22 pulls left before 90 hard pity I dediced to stop for now - two weeks left, plenty of time to decide what to do next, along with getting more pulls while 2.5 is still live.

 

[Dice]

Not a bad start for Sanby. Kinda snubbed me on crit rate but it went off on atk% to kinda make up for it. Playing with Seed &Trigger things kinda die too fast lol. Pumped up her new buff as much as I could since it is teamwide.

After i saw this post i did 10 pulls as well.

Didnt go as planned.

 

[Spyxos]

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Well...

She's M1, which means chances of me winning 2 50/50s in ZZZ are below 0, I'm not getting Aria or any of the idols for that matter. Will be saving pulls until 3.0 probably.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Did a very quick run on the new SD (one try per encounter since I'm on my lunch break), and it went pretty well, though I think I missed like 3 ults on that Jane doppelganger... I don't think I'll bother pushing for higher scores right now since I want to play Endfield as it just launched yesteday.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Well...

Hot damn, ma dudes, don't try this at home...

Got SAnby's M2 after throwing another 15 pulls (26 in total) and can trade a bit of CRate to get more CDMG. Ah, now I definitely won't pulling anyone in 2.6 unless I get lucky and get Aria (might as well build some pity).

I sure hope that I haven't spent all my luck on ZZZ cuz I'm yet to play Arknights and get some chars there too.

Damn, bro! Congrats! That's probably the luckiest run you've had in ZZZ in such a short time frame, right?

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Yeah, it's the luckiest run I had since 1.4 and getting Miyabi to M3.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Yeah, it's the luckiest run I had since 1.4 and getting Miyabi to M3.

Heh, there's definitely more to come for sure! Speaking of which, I had some insane luck myself, but in Endfield. This was basically me after pulling both Yvonne and then Laevatain almost back‑to‑back:

 

[Dice]

Just got Shunguang M1 at 3 PITY LET'S GOOOOOOO

I guess the next two weeks of poly will go at a chance for Zhao's wengine. Could be nice to lift the baseline team potential with her.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Also, damn, unexpected phonk when they showed this Dialyn section during the livestream, lol. Really digging the beats!

Hmm, not sure how I missed this tnbee mix of the phonk track hoyo used for the Dialyn short and then for the YSG short too, but I'm glad I stumbled across it. Gotta add it to my ZZZ playlist.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

...

Lycaon is M6 in just 5 pulls after M1 YSG, right on time for his unlocked potential soon in 2.6. There's no way this is a lucky coincidence

Well then, at least I've 100% now for whoever is coming after Idols and in 3.0 - maybe for Asura's rerun if it'll happen before 3.0.

 

[Spyxos]

Miyabi died. Still got the points.

 

[Eirulan]

Hi - it's been a long time since I last posted on this forum (and sorry for the bad english - german native speaker).
New player here -I only started playing ZZZ at the beginning of December (my first gacha game ever), and I liked it right away.

I especially like the cool retro-futuristic aesthetic, the character designs (I also like anime/manga outside of the genre), the character progression, and, surprisingly, the story
To be honest, I wasn't originally interested in the story, but the more I played, the more interesting I found it. And the cutscenes are top-notch in terms of style and aesthetics, animation, and choreography. I'm not actually the biggest fan of this Chinese style of anime, because although objectively everything always looks pretty flawless, I somehow always feel like it's missing that final spark – I discussed this with a friend a few months ago and we both came to the conclusion that it often lacks the "esprit" that the Japanese bring to it – but this looks pretty good for my taste. It has this interesting mix of cyberpunk-like set pieces and a retro-futuristic vibe.

So I've invested a relatively large amount of time in the game in a relatively short period (just over 300 hours) – I find it a bit of a shame that I've now reached a point where I've pretty much "played through" the game and there's not really much left to do in the game apart from the daily battery consumption and the weekly/biweekly resets between patches. In my opinion, "Withering Garden" in particular should have more levels; 90 is clearly not enough. In general, I would like to see more TV World stuff, as I really liked things like Arpeggio, but that will probably remain wishful thinking.

At the moment, I'm not really able to master Shiyu Defense (I can get to level 5, but I don't have three teams for the last stage yet) or Deadly Assault (I can already get 4 stars).
In December, I got Dialyn, then YSG including the engine with the new patch, and a few days ago Astra, Alice, Jane, and their respective engines. Since I'm currently in dire need of a supporter, Astra was a given for me, and since I probably won't be going for the upcoming Angels (because I don't really like their overall design), Alice seemed like a good choice, especially since I've always enjoyed playing her as a trial character.
Unsurprisingly, I ran out of resources relatively quickly, so now I'll need a while to build the characters
So far, I've leveled up most of my characters according to the Pareto principle, meaning they're about 80% "finished," i.e., core skills E, other skills mostly between 8-10 (both with exceptions on the high side), I usually have one or two good discs per character, and the rest have the main stat (I've had rather bad luck with the dice when it comes to discs so far).
And so now I'm gradually upgrading one character after another in terms of skills (one at a time) before I plunge into the disc lottery.

I may be posting here more often in the coming days -I occasionally have specific questions where I could really use some advice from the "old hands." Hope that's okay.
I won't be able to match your scores anytime soon

Welcome back. Unfortunately, that's the problem with gatchas. You get a major content update every six weeks, and until then you have the events and the endgame. Shiyu and Da, it'll take a while for you to get through that. In the meantime, you have to be relatively well invested there. This retro future style also drew me to the game. Unfortunately, it has been declining lately a lot.

Viel Spaß noch mit dem Spiel.

 

[Eirulan]

Unfortunately, it has been declining lately a lot.

Yes, that's my impression too. Overall, I liked Season 1 better than Season 2, with a few exceptions (both Trigger's and Seed's agent stories were fantastic, as was the story arc around Magus and Isolde). I also liked the small mini open-world Hollows in Season 2, although I would have liked there to be more to do in them, or at least the option to grind a little there every day, at least to a limited extent.
And so you wonder a little why you build up all these great characters in the first place if there is so little (meaningful) to play with them afterwards.
I still have about 120 levels left in Lost Void, which I also like with its roguelike-light formula and the Resonia cards, so there's still a little bit to do

Viel Spaß noch mit dem Spiel.

Danke, dir auch

These AoD arts ZZZ shared of the three idols reminds me of Mika Pikazo's style. Not sure if she's the one who illustrated them, though.

I also did a very quick run in the new DA since it refreshed today. Happy to see the good old UCC punching bag making a comeback. I might actually do a few more runs this weekend since I like all the bosses in this rotation.

I think I actually found where you can pre‑order, but it's the Hoyo official merch store in CN, and it only ships within China (screenshot below). Pre‑orders with a deposit go up on Feb 5.

There's already a ton of interest in this figure, so I'm sure they'll make it available for pre‑order outside of China as well.

So I decided to pull for both Sanby's w‑engine and her M1, and I actually got them both. Her engine showed up in 40 pulls, and her M1 dropped in the first 10 pull (video below)I thought my luck was already spent last weekend in Endfield when I pulled two limited units in 30 pulls, but I guess not, lol.

I also finished the top‑up event since I was missing around 2.5k points, and I grabbed the cosmetics locked behind the highest tier, including this menu decor, lol.

Thanks bro! Aside from the weapon banner, which is still haunting me after losing two 75/25s in a row at high pity, I've actually been having quite a lucky run on character banners across both ZZZ and Endfield, so I'm definitely not complaining, haha.

That said, yeah, I'm going for Chinatsu (Sunna) since I want her for my YSG team. I've got about 90 pulls saved if I count the residue signal (I'm not touching any of the monochrome), and now that we know we're getting a ton of pulls in ver. 2.6, I can secure her even if I lose the 50/50.

After that, I'm going into saving mode and waiting for the new characters and/or an Orphie rerun, since I probably won't pull for any of the other angels.

I dont even know what winning an 75/25 looks like in this game. Must be rigged. Surprisingly, I didn't hate the Angels. Yes, I'll definitely get Sunna too. Will see about the rest.

Yeah man, I hear you… I've been having a lot of issues pulling weapons across all the hoyo gachas and I can relate a lot, lol. It is what it is, and it's kinda not worth it unless you're going for a Void Hunter weapon that's actually a must. And yeah, Sunna is a good agent IMO. She's very versatile and works well with both YSG (plus other attack agents) and anomaly teams. Good luck to both of us since her banner drops next week!

Also, I uploaded my pulls, and it looks like I actually got Sanby's M1 on the 2nd roll of that 10 pull, lol.

I also did another pass through the current DA. I improved my score a fair bit, so Imma take it easy until next week when I'll be pulling for Sunna.

 

[Icymanipulator]

I got YSGs engine today.

With that I'm done with engines until the next super meta carry.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Wtf!? 181 limited pulls for F2P and 217 for Sub + BP owners in ver. 2.6!? I mean, I knew we were getting a lot of pulls based on the livestream info, but this is pretty insane. Too bad Yixuan is in the first phase with Chinatsu, otherwise I would've tried to grab a copy.
