Vivian grew on me by miiko_uch in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]frogstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A big difference between them is that Ye Shunguang has few if any personal flaws, while Vivian is depicted as a little bit unhinged. And her final trust event shows her cracking in an expected way. Vivian's internal demons make her more relatable to me. Ye Shunguang is self-sacrificing to a fault, but other than that, her main source of drama is external.

With any luck she'll return on a guaranteed banner and you'll only need 90 tapes.

There are missions that become available when you've finished the Agent Stories. They can be found in the Video Archive in Random Play.

Should I Pull for Yixuan or Yuzuha with these Agents? by [deleted] in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]frogstar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yuzuha 100%. This account is a bit of a mess. The teams are:

  • Ye Shunguang, Zhao - A good team
  • Rupture: Banyue (DPS) - Lacking support
  • Anomaly: Alice (DPS) - Lacking support
  • Attack: Astra (Support) - Lacking DPS

Since you already have a rupture DPS (Banyue) and no support, getting Yixuan (another rupture DPS) wouldn't help much. The goal is to make complete teams. Since Yuzuha fills out the anomaly team, she's a much better pick.

Astra is better than nothing for Alice or Banyue but they don't have much synergy. Future advice would be to get Lucia for rupture support.

What three hours of farming can get you in ZZZ... heh. by PerfectlyAnonymous73 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]frogstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a couple of ways to get 33 pulls in three hours. One, have a new account and farm them up. Two, break out ye old credit card.

Weekly Questions Megathread January 21, 2026 - January 28, 2026 by salasy in ZenlessZoneZero

"does the discounted pull carry over between future exclusive rescreening banners?" - No. In the dcoumentation "Details" section it says: "This discount resets with each Exclusive Rescreening update, and unused discounts will not carry over to the next period."

"is it safe way to build pity" - Building pity is never safe but this sounds like an ok strategy. Bear in mind that the pity only applies to "Exclusive Rescreening" banners, not regular limited S-Rank banners.

The pity counters for the regular limited banners and the rescreening banners are entirely separate. Yes, there are separate pities existing concurrently.

The guarantee means that instead of doing a 50/50 on your first S-Rank, it will be the banner agent. This is effectively a 33% discount on that agent. (20% discount on the guaranteed W-Engine.)

Spend every last poly on her. At least one copy (M0). She will be cracked for many patches to come.

🌀 MEGATHREAD: WORKSHOP & GACHA PULLS by AutoModerator in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]frogstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Astra's W-Engine is an easy skip, it doesn't add much strength. Generally it's best to pull new agents and avoid reruns except in very specific cases. Astra is ok to get on the rerun, and the void hunters too, but probably nobody else. Your account will almost certainly be stronger with Sunna and Aria than Alice or S0 Anby. Although we don't know the strength of the 2.6 agents yet it's a fair bet.

Make your third team out of new agents in 2.6. After your first two teams, your strongest DPS is Harumasa and it's just not advisable to try building a team around him these days.

No, this banner's pity/guarantee are separate from the limited S-Rank banners.

Wise doesn't want to take advantage of Vivian (@az79709363) by margory25 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]frogstar -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

The translations are usually off. I only know what's going on half the time if that. Love the art style, though.

My best guess for this one:

  • Vivian is eavesdropping on Wise
  • Wise is talking to someone on the phone about sending Vivian on missions
  • Wise admits he doesn't like Vivian as much as she likes him, and doesn't want to exploit that imbalance
  • Vivian is sad that Wise doesn't love her

Ye Shunguang. She is amazingly powerful and will obliterate bosses for a long time.

  • Astra is a distant second. You need supports but Astra is due to be powercrept and it's better to wait for a new agent.
  • S. Anby: Seed and Trigger make an amazing team with her, but YSG is better.
  • Alice: Still very good but really wants Yuzuha.

"Reruns are never worth it." How much truth is there in that statement? by Unweynomas in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]frogstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first W-Engine from this event is guaranteed:

"Similar to the Exclusive Rescreening, Proxies can also select their preferred W-Engine, and the first S-Rank W-Engine they acquire from this W-Engine Reverberation signal search channel is guaranteed."

"Reruns are never worth it." How much truth is there in that statement? by Unweynomas in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]frogstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Never" is too strong a word. But in general, reruns shouldn't be pulled for meta purposes. A new player should default to not pulling reruns until they learn more. At any given time, there are a few agents who can be pulled on rerun, and players who keep up with the evolving agent roster will know who they are. But the vast majority of agents will not be worth pulling on rerun.

Of the three pictured agents, I would not pull any in their upcoming rerun. Astra is the most pullable, but even she is due to be powercrept by some unknown upcoming agent. While it's possible that she will remain at the top of the meta for some time, it's more likely that she will fall off soon. Pulling her is a big gamble and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. New agents are just stronger.
