Zenless Zone Zero 3.1 Phase II Guide: Sigrid, Rescreening, and Pull Priority

Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.1 Phase II is a pull-planning patch, not just another banner swap. HoYoverse has scheduled the Phase II Signal Searches for 2026/08/19 12:00 to 2026/09/08 14:59 server time, with Sigrid debuting as a limited Ice - Attack S-Rank Agent and Knight's Extolment arriving as her limited Attack W-Engine.

The deeper question is not "who is on the banner?" It is whether your account should chase Sigrid, take the discounted selectable rerun, save for a future patch, or spend Monochrome only after the live Signal Search page confirms your target. This guide separates the confirmed Phase II rules from practical pull advice so you can plan before the banner opens.

ZZZ 3.1 Phase II Schedule and Banner Lineup

HoYoverse's Phase II limited-time channel notice lists the Agent and W-Engine Signal Search period as 2026/08/19 12:00 to 2026/09/08 14:59 server time. The wording matters: use the in-game Signal Search timer on your own server as the final clock before spending pulls.

How the Exclusive Rescreening Guarantee Changes the Decision

The Phase II notice gives Rescreening its own logic. During the current Exclusive Rescreening period, the first S-Rank Signal you obtain from that channel is guaranteed to be your selected limited S-Rank Agent. The selectable Agents are Dialyn, Ukinami Yuzuha, and Asaba Harumasa.

HoYoverse's Exclusive Rescreening artwork highlights Dialyn, Yuzuha, and Harumasa as the selectable rerun targets for this Phase II period.

The first 10-Signal Search in the current Rescreening period is also discounted to Encrypted Master Tape x8. Changing the selected tab does not reset that discount, and it does not reset the Special Guarantee. That means you should choose the target before pulling, not tap around casually after committing resources.

Sigrid Pull Priority: Who Should Go for the New Ice Attack Agent?

Sigrid is officially listed as an Ice - Attack S-Rank Agent. That alone tells us her account role: she is not a utility pick you slot anywhere just for buffs. She is a damage target, and she makes the most sense when you can give her field time, supports, and enough build resources to justify a limited S-Rank pull.

Her Sigrid mechanics intro emphasizes an enhanced spear rhythm: enter her combat state, trigger or refresh enhanced Basic Attack windows, and spend those windows on Converging Spear hits. In practical terms, that means she rewards players who like a direct on-field carry loop rather than a swap-heavy support role.

HoYoverse's Sigrid channel artwork presents her as the new S-Rank Ice Attack target; the in-game audition stage is still the final gameplay check before pulling.

Sigrid Team Logic: Read Her as a Carry, Not a Collection Trophy

The mistake with a new Attack Agent is pulling because the character is new, then realizing the account cannot support another carry. Sigrid should be judged by what she gives your roster. If your main teams already cover Ice damage and boss DPS comfortably, her value becomes more about preference and vertical investment. If Ice is your weak side, she can solve a real coverage problem.

Soukaku and Lucy being the default A-Rank rate-ups also gives the banner a useful support angle. Soukaku naturally lines up with Ice support needs, while Lucy is a flexible support option for players who still need low-rarity team pieces. Even if you are not chasing multiple S-Ranks, the A-Rank pool can matter for newer accounts that still need functional supports.

Dialyn, Yuzuha, or Harumasa: How to Pick the Rescreening Target

Exclusive Rescreening is powerful because it is targeted. It is also easy to misuse because all three S-Ranks appeal to different account problems. The right choice is the one that fixes the role you actually lack, not the one that looks best beside Sigrid on a banner graphic.

For most accounts, the best order is simple: decide whether you need Sigrid's new Ice carry role or a guaranteed selected rerun. Do not split pulls across both tracks unless you have enough saved to tolerate a bad run. Split commitment is where Phase II becomes expensive.

Knight's Extolment and W-Engine Reverberation Priority

HoYoverse's Knight's Extolment channel artwork ties the W-Engine decision to Sigrid's Attack role.

Knight's Extolment is the new limited S-Rank Attack W-Engine tied to Phase II. Because W-Engine pity is separate from Agent pity, it should usually come after the Agent decision. A signature W-Engine can raise a character's ceiling, but an unclaimed Agent changes an account more than a weapon you cannot fully use.

W-Engine Reverberation has a similar Special Guarantee structure for its first S-Rank in the current period, with Yesterday Calls, Metanukimorphosis, and Zanshin Herb Case available for selection. It also has the first 10-Signal Search discount at Encrypted Master Tape x8, once per current period.

HoYoverse's W-Engine Reverberation artwork groups the selectable S-Rank W-Engines and the first-10 discount message.

Monochrome Planning: Pulls, Outfit, and Budget Boundaries

Phase II also overlaps with a paid outfit decision. HoYoverse's Version 3.1 store notice lists Sigrid's Majestic Wavechaser outfit as a permanent store item, with a discount period from 2026/08/19 12:00 server time to 2026/09/09 05:59 UTC+8. The notice lists the discount price as Monochrome x1,350, then Monochrome x1,680 after the discount.

This creates a real budget split. Pulls use Master Tapes and Polychrome planning; the outfit uses Monochrome directly. If you want both Sigrid and the outfit, do not treat the outfit price as part of your pull pity. Keep the budgets separate so you do not accidentally spend your pull reserve on cosmetics.

Check ZZZ Monochrome after choosing your Phase II target

Confirm your selected Agent, W-Engine, and outfit plan in-game first. Then use the current product page if you need to compare Monochrome options.

Best Pull Paths for Different Players

There is no universal best Phase II path because the banner is split across four different decisions. Use the path that matches your account problem.

Launch-Day Checklist Before You Pull

On August 19, do not pull from memory. Open the game and verify the live details. This is especially important because server time, banner tabs, and guarantee counters are player-facing systems that should be checked on the exact account you are spending from.

Bottom Line

ZZZ 3.1 Phase II is strongest when you make one clear decision. Pull Sigrid if your account wants an Ice Attack carry and you enjoy her trial loop. Choose Dialyn, Yuzuha, or Harumasa on Exclusive Rescreening if a guaranteed selected rerun fixes a bigger roster gap. Treat W-Engines and the Majestic Wavechaser outfit as follow-up spending, not the first decision.

Before the banner opens, your best preparation is simple: count your saved pulls, pick your first target, and decide whether your account needs a new carry, a Stun, a Support, or a specific element more. That one choice will do more for your Phase II budget than chasing every shiny tab at once.
