Zenless Zone Zero 3.1 Anniversary Rewards and Events: What to Claim First

Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.1, The Long Goodbye, launches on July 29, 2026, and it is one of the most important resource patches of the year. The update brings Remielle Dan, Sigrid de L'Azur, a free limited S-Rank Agent choice, a free limited S-Rank W-Engine choice, anniversary login rewards, new outfits for Remielle, Sigrid, and Lucy, multiple event reward tracks, custom search additions, and a Monochrome Market first-purchase double bonus reset.

The best plan is not to pull first and read later. Claim the time-limited rewards, decide which free S-Rank fills an account gap, compare Remielle and Sigrid before spending premium pulls, and avoid building a budget around expired livestream codes or saved package images. Version 3.1 gives a lot, but it also creates more tempting places to spend.

Quick Answer
ZZZ 3.1 starts on July 29, 2026. Prioritize login and anniversary rewards first, then the free limited S-Rank Agent and W-Engine choice, then event rewards such as Lucy's Princess on Holiday outfit, Pyrois Mindscapes, and overclock materials. Remielle Dan runs from the update through September 8, while Sigrid runs from August 19 to September 8. Remielle and Sigrid also have outfit-store cosmetics in the patch, but banner pulls should still come before cosmetic spending.

ZZZ 3.1 Key Dates

The first thing to manage is timing. Version 3.1 rewards are spread across launch, web events, check-ins, banners, and later event phases.

Date or period	What happens	What to do
July 17 to September 9, 2026 05:59 UTC+8	First-Generation Void Hunter Returns web/return event period	Join early, invite eligible friends only if the return/register conditions fit
July 29, 2026 05:59 UTC+8	Web pre-registration and original works collection close	Finish web preregistration before the update window
July 29, 2026	Version 3.1 launches	Claim launch rewards, check event menu, test Remielle
After July 29 update to September 8, 2026 14:59 server time	Remielle Dan first-half banner window	Pull only after comparing her role with your account needs
August 19, 2026 12:00 to September 8, 2026 14:59 server time	Sigrid second-half banner window	Reserve pulls if Ice Attack DPS is your priority
Version 3.1 launch	Monochrome Market first-purchase double bonus resets	Check current package details before any top-up

The livestream redemption code should be treated as expired by now. The Version 3.1 code window ended on July 19, 2026 at 23:59 UTC+8, so players planning after July 20 should not count that code in their pull math. If a website still lists the code as active, use the in-game redemption page as the final check and expect failure if the deadline has passed.

Reward Count: What Is Safe to Expect?

Different sites may describe Version 3.1 with different headline numbers because they combine rewards in different ways. Some count only login pulls. Some include Boopon. Some include event rewards, selectors, web-event Polychrome, and anniversary mail. For planning, separate the categories instead of treating one headline number as guaranteed pulls.

Reward claim type	How to read it	Safer planning rule
Encrypted Master Tape count	Limited-banner pulls only	Count confirmed check-in and mail tapes first
Polychrome count	Flexible currency	Include only rewards with confirmed claim routes and dates
Boopon count	Bangboo channel value	Do not convert it into limited-Agent pulls
Free S-Rank Agent	Selector value, not pull currency	Choose by roster gap, not by theoretical pull conversion
Free W-Engine	Account upgrade value	Pair it with an Agent you actually use
"Up to" total rewards	Often includes events, Boopon, and time-gated content	Treat as maximum claim path, not day-one currency

This distinction matters for Remielle and Sigrid planning. A player may see a large total reward number and assume both new Agents are easy to secure. In practice, limited-banner pulls, selector value, Boopon, and material rewards solve different problems. Spend decisions should be based on the limited-banner currency you can actually use before September 8.

What Rewards Are Available in Version 3.1?

Version 3.1 has several reward buckets. They should not be mentally combined into one vague "anniversary gift" because each bucket has a different claim route and risk.

Reward bucket	Main rewards	Priority
Anniversary login and mail rewards	Polychrome, Encrypted Master Tape, Boopon, avatar/title items	Claim immediately and check expiry
Free limited S-Rank choice	Jane, Soldier 0 - Anby, Trigger, Lucia, or Hugo	Decide after checking account role gaps
Free limited S-Rank W-Engine choice	Matching limited W-Engine choice tied to the selector pool	Choose after locking the Agent plan
Summer Waves Roll In	Lucy outfit Princess on Holiday	Claim during the event window if you care about cosmetics
Gameplay event rewards	Pyrois Mindscapes x2, W-Engine overclock material x1, Polychrome, materials	Prioritize permanent account value
First-Generation Void Hunter Returns	Polychrome from web preregistration, friend return/register tasks, and in-game check-in	Complete before dated windows close
Custom Search additions	Tsukishiro Yanagi, Caesar, Zhu Yuan and exclusive W-Engines	Useful for long-term targeting, not a day-one impulse

The headline resource numbers are generous: Version 3.1 includes Polychrome x1600, Encrypted Master Tape x20, check-in rewards, Boopon x10, and additional event currency or material rewards. The First-Generation Void Hunter Returns event adds web preregistration Polychrome, invite rewards, and an in-game seven-day check-in reward track. The exact in-game menu should be checked after launch because some rewards arrive through mail, some through event pages, and some through daily login panels.

Claim Order: What to Do First

Players who log in after Version 3.1 should follow a simple claim route:

Open mail and claim launch/anniversary gifts with expiry timers.
Open the event menu and start any seven-day check-in panels.
Confirm the free limited S-Rank Agent selector pool before choosing.
Confirm the free W-Engine selector after deciding the Agent choice.
Clear time-limited event tasks before spending stamina on routine farming.
Test Remielle's trial before pulling on her banner.
Reserve resources for Sigrid if Ice Attack DPS is a possible account need.

The order matters because some mistakes cannot be easily reversed. A selector choice can reshape the account more than a few extra pulls. A W-Engine choice can lose value if it does not match the Agent you actually use. A top-up bonus reset can be useful, but it should support a pull plan rather than create one.

Free S-Rank Agent Selector: How to Choose

The limited S-Rank Agent selector in Version 3.1 includes Jane, Soldier 0 - Anby, Trigger, Lucia, and Hugo. The best choice is the one that fixes a role gap, not necessarily the one with the loudest hype.

Account need	Selector logic
Missing a main damage core	Choose the Agent who immediately completes a playable team
Missing a support/enabler role	Prioritize the Agent who improves multiple teams rather than one narrow lineup
Already has strong DPS coverage	Look for long-term utility, team flexibility, or favorite character value
Planning to pull Remielle	Avoid duplicating the same damage role unless the team needs both
Planning to pull Sigrid	Choose a selector Agent that supports a second team or fills non-Ice coverage
New account	Prefer the easiest Agent to build into a complete team with current resources

Do not pick the W-Engine first. The Agent determines whether the W-Engine has a home. A matching W-Engine can be valuable, but a powerful weapon sitting on the wrong account is less useful than a character who completes a functional team.

Players should also check the Custom Search additions before choosing. Tsukishiro Yanagi, Caesar, Zhu Yuan, and their exclusive W-Engines are being added to Custom Search in Version 3.1. That does not mean every player should immediately target them, but it changes long-term planning. If one of those Agents is already on your account plan, the free selector should cover a different problem.

Free S-Rank Decision Tree

The selector is the easiest place to lose value because every option feels rare. Use a decision tree instead of choosing from memory.

Step	Question	If yes	If no
1	Do you already have two complete teams for Shiyu Defense or Deadly Assault?	Choose long-term utility, favorite value, or a missing niche	Choose the Agent who completes Team 1 or Team 2 fastest
2	Are you pulling Remielle?	Avoid picking a selector Agent that duplicates her exact job unless it creates a tested Anomaly shell	Keep the selector open for DPS or support coverage
3	Are you saving for Sigrid?	Choose a selector Agent that helps your other team or supports account balance	Choose the strongest immediate role fix
4	Do you own the selected Agent's best partners?	The pick gains value immediately	Consider a more self-contained option
5	Do you have the matching W-Engine or selector weapon path?	The pick becomes easier to finish	Do not let the weapon force a bad Agent choice

Newer players should usually favor a complete, playable team over a niche upgrade. Veteran players can be more selective because a single support, W-Engine, or role patch may unlock more value than another carry. Favorite picks are valid too, but make the choice intentionally: if the Agent will sit unused, the selector is not helping the account.

Start with the Remielle Dan guide if your main question is whether Lumiflux Anomaly is worth building around. Remielle's value comes from Refringe, Luminize, Attribute Flux, and team Anomaly damage timing. She is strongest on accounts that want a future-facing Anomaly core or need a new attribute route.

Use the Sigrid guide if your main question is whether your account needs an Ice Attack carry. Sigrid's value comes from Converging Spear, Unbridled Spear, and burst damage against Stunned enemies. She is strongest on accounts that already have reliable Stun setup or need direct Ice DPS coverage.

Version 3.1 introduces two very different new S-Rank Agents. Remielle Dan is a Lumiflux Anomaly DPS, while Sigrid de L'Azur is an Ice Attack DPS. Players who can only afford one should not treat them as interchangeable.

Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.1 Remielle and Sigrid new Agent and W-Engine archive cards

Decision point	Remielle Dan	Sigrid de L'Azur
Attribute	Lumiflux	Ice
Specialty	Anomaly	Attack
Best account fit	Anomaly teams, new attribute planning, flexible damage routes	Ice DPS gap, Stun-window teams, direct burst gameplay
Main risk	Final Anomaly loop and team dependency need testing	Needs reliable Stun/support shell to reach ceiling
Banner timing	Available from launch through September 8	August 19 to September 8
Pull advice	Test early, but do not rush W-Engine	Reserve resources if Ice DPS is a real gap

The overlap creates a helpful safety net. Remielle starts first and remains available after Sigrid begins. A cautious player can test Remielle, wait for early performance results, and still decide whether Sigrid is the better fit before the version ends.

Version 3.1 is generous, but different players need different spending routes. Use the one that matches your risk tolerance.

Budget route	Best for	Pull behavior
Conservative route	F2P players, low pity, no guarantee	Claim rewards, test Remielle, wait for Sigrid trial, pull only the Agent that solves the biggest gap
Remielle-first route	Anomaly accounts, Lumiflux planners	Pull Remielle early, skip her W-Engine until final testing, keep enough for Sigrid if Ice coverage is weak
Sigrid-reserve route	Players missing Ice Attack DPS	Skip early impulse pulls, use Remielle trial for comparison, hold a pity plan for August 19
Selector-stabilized route	Newer accounts	Pick free S-Rank first, build a stable team, then pull only if Remielle or Sigrid completes the second team
Collector route	Players targeting both new Agents	Pull Agents before weapons or Mindscapes, then decide whether either signature is worth the extra cost

The strongest general rule is Agent first, weapon second, duplicates last. Version 3.1 has too many account-changing options to spend early on small damage upgrades before the roster plan is finished.

Version 3.1 Event Board

The Long Goodbye is more than a banner patch. The event board includes story, combat, casual, collection, and collaboration content.

Event or feature	Type	Why it matters
The Long Goodbye	Main Story	Core Version 3.1 chapter and setting for the update
Enigma of the Labyrinth: Operation Bagel	Gameplay event	Likely priority for Polychrome and event currency
Deadly Assault: Adversity Mode	Combat challenge	Endgame-style value for built teams and account testing
Summer Waves Roll In	Summer event	Free Lucy outfit Princess on Holiday and event rewards
Snap! Focus Showdown!	Event mode	Clear for limited rewards and completion progress
Crispy Meal Deployment Plan	Event task track	Complete staged tasks before the window closes
Dangerous Fugitive's Leisurely Vacation	Event mode	Check for limited reward shop or time-gated tasks
Ding-Dong! Delivery Training in Progress	Event mode	Likely daily or staged completion route
Phaethon's Grand Reveal of the Year	Anniversary feature	Watch for account-wide anniversary reward claims
Extensive Patrol: Triple Bounty	Material bonus	Spend attempts on the materials you actually need
Combat Training: Triple Bounty	Material bonus	Use for build catch-up before new teams are finalized
Operation Yum 2026	Global food collaboration	Regional/offline participation, not required for core game rewards
ZZZ-themed aesthetics exhibition	Offline/event feature	Good for fans, not a pull-resource priority
Gamescom 2026 booth	Offline showcase	Runs August 26-30 in Cologne
ZZZ x Honkai: Star Rail crossover	Future event	Planned for winter 2026, not part of the 3.1 pull budget yet

For reward efficiency, clear limited Polychrome events first, then free outfit and unique account rewards, then material bonus events. Cosmetic and offline collaboration content can be exciting, but it should not distract from claim windows that directly affect pulls or progression.

Version 3.1 Outfits and Skin Rewards

Version 3.1 has two kinds of cosmetic planning: free event cosmetics and Outfit Store cosmetics. Keep those separate. Lucy's Princess on Holiday is tied to the Summer Waves Roll In event reward route, while Remielle and Sigrid outfits should be checked in the live Outfit Store after the patch launches.

Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.1 new outfit lineup for Remielle Sigrid and Lucy

Character	Outfit or skin	Route	Planning advice
Remielle	Seashade Pas Seul	Outfit Store / 3.1 outfit lineup	Buy only after deciding Remielle is a long-term roster target
Remielle	Moonlight Whispers	Outfit Store / 3.1 outfit lineup	Check final store label and promotion timing in game
Sigrid	Majestic Wavechaser	Outfit Store / 3.1 outfit lineup	Secure Sigrid first; do not spend outfit budget before the Agent plan
Lucy	Princess on Holiday	Summer Waves Roll In event reward	Prioritize the event route because it is a unique free cosmetic reward

Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.1 Lucy Princess on Holiday outfit reward preview

For most players, Lucy's outfit should be the first cosmetic target because it is connected to event participation rather than a banner pull decision. Remielle and Sigrid outfits are different: they are best treated as optional extras after the roster plan is settled. Do not budget from old promotion images or reposted price screenshots. Open the live Outfit Store after Version 3.1 launches and confirm the current availability period before buying.

Event Priority by Time Budget

Not every player has time to clear the whole event board in one sitting. Version 3.1 should be approached by priority: first secure limited currency, then unique rewards, then materials, then optional celebration content.

Available time	Best route	What to skip until later
10 minutes	Mail, check-in panel, web-event claim, selector confirmation	Long combat stages, story catch-up, optional collaboration browsing
30 minutes	Daily check-ins, event tasks with Polychrome, trial stages, Triple Bounty plan	Cosmetic browsing and non-expiring farming
1 hour	Main limited event progress, Lucy outfit route, combat challenge attempts	Perfect-score retries unless rewards require them
Weekend session	Story chapter, event shops, Deadly Assault practice, team testing	Repeated low-value farming after key rewards are cleared

Players returning after a break should start with the event menu rather than the banner screen. It is more important to activate time-gated claim tracks than to pull immediately. If an event has daily unlocks, missing the first few days can matter more than delaying a banner decision by an hour.

Daily and Weekly Checklist

Follow this route during the first two weeks of Version 3.1:

Claim mail and login rewards before opening banners.
Check whether the First-Generation Void Hunter Returns tasks are still available for your account.
Start seven-day check-in rewards and confirm the reset time.
Clear limited Polychrome event tasks before routine stamina spending.
Use Triple Bounty attempts on materials for the team you actually plan to build.
Run Remielle's trial and save notes on comfort, team needs, and whether the rotation feels natural.
Before August 19, compare your Remielle notes with Sigrid's preview/trial needs.
Recheck selector and W-Engine choice only after deciding which banner Agent, if any, is your main target.

This checklist is deliberately boring. Anniversary patches create a lot of noise, and boring routines protect resources better than hype-driven clicking.

Anniversary Resource Plan

Players should divide Version 3.1 resources into four buckets:

Bucket	Use it for	Rule
Guaranteed rewards	Login, mail, check-ins, free selector, free W-Engine	Claim before deciding how to spend
Pull currency	Remielle, Sigrid, reruns, W-Engines	Spend after trials and account-gap check
Build resources	Pyrois Mindscapes, overclock material, event mats, Triple Bounty	Use after choosing which teams to build
Paid top-up budget	Monochrome or Inter-Knot Membership planning	Check current product page and UID/server before purchase

The biggest trap is spending resources in the wrong order. Pulls feel urgent because banners are visible, but the selector may solve a team problem first. Build materials feel safe, but they can be wasted if spent before choosing between Remielle, Sigrid, and a selector Agent. Top-ups can help, but a first-purchase bonus reset should be used with a plan, not treated as a reason to buy immediately.

If you use ManaBuy for Zenless Zone Zero top-up, go through the current Zenless Zone Zero product page and confirm your UID and server before payment. Do not rely on a saved price, discount, or package image when deciding how much to spend. Package availability and promotional terms can change around a major version update, especially when a first-purchase double bonus reset is happening in game.

Common Mistakes in Version 3.1

The first mistake is claiming only the obvious mail rewards and missing event-panel rewards. Anniversary patches often split rewards across multiple menus. Check mail, event tabs, login panels, web events, and the in-game notices after launch.

The second mistake is picking the free S-Rank before deciding your banner plan. If you are pulling Remielle, choose a selector Agent that complements that plan. If you are saving for Sigrid, do not pick a selector option that leaves your second team unfinished.

The third mistake is using an expired code in pull calculations. The Version 3.1 livestream code expired on July 19, 2026. Treat any later redemption success as unexpected, not guaranteed.

The fourth mistake is ignoring the W-Engine selector until after choosing randomly. A free W-Engine should support an Agent you actually plan to build. It should not be chosen as a collectible unless your account is already comfortable.

The fifth mistake is burning all stamina before checking Triple Bounty targets. If the bonus event is active, use it on materials that support your chosen team plan.

The sixth mistake is treating offline collaborations as required reward content. Food collaborations, exhibitions, and Gamescom appearances are part of the anniversary celebration, but the main account value is in the in-game event board, login rewards, selectors, and banner decisions.

Top-Up Bonus Reset and Spending Safety

Version 3.1 resets the first-purchase double bonus in the Monochrome Market. That can matter for players who plan to spend on Remielle, Sigrid, reruns, or future patches, but it should be handled carefully.

Use three checks before buying:

Confirm the in-game reset is live on your account after Version 3.1 launches.
Confirm the current product, package, UID, and server before payment.
Decide whether the purchase supports a specific target, such as Remielle, Sigrid, a rerun, or future savings.

Do not treat saved package images as current proof. If a price matters, check the current checkout state directly. When sharing payment or account screenshots with support, hide UID, server, order, payment, and contact details that are not needed for the case.

What to Recheck After 3.1 Goes Live

Several details should be confirmed in the live client before final publish or before making irreversible choices.

Item	Why it needs a live check	Safe action
Reward mail expiry	Mail gifts can expire or use regional timing	Claim first and record expiry before planning
Selector labels	Names, W-Engine pairing, and limits must match the live menu	Choose only after reading the selector screen
Event shop rewards	Some material quantities may be staged or capped	Prioritize unique and limited rewards
Remielle trial	Final loop may differ from pre-release expectations	Test before pulling weapon or Mindscapes
Sigrid trial	Stun-window comfort determines real value	Keep pulls reserved until her trial is available
Monochrome reset	Reset display can vary by account purchase history	Confirm in game before spending
Product-page packages	Package labels and promotions can change	Use current page details only

This is especially important for the anniversary article because players will use it as a planning hub. A hub that tells players what to verify is more useful than a shallow list that simply repeats reward names.

Final Checklist

Before spending pulls in ZZZ 3.1, claim every limited reward, finish the seven-day check-ins, choose the free S-Rank based on account gaps, and compare Remielle with Sigrid using real team needs. Version 3.1 is generous, but the best value comes from sequencing: claim first, test banners second, choose selectors third, then top up only if the current product details and your pull target both make sense.
