Zenless Zone Zero Gacha System Explained: Pull Rates, Probability, and Banner Strategies
Zenless Zone Zero’s gacha system is central to unlocking top-tier agents, unique W-Engines, and Bangboo companions. Understanding pull rates, probabilities, and banner strategies will help you optimize your resources and build stronger teams for every game mode.
How the Gacha System Works in Zenless Zone Zero
The ZZZ gacha system uses “Signal Searches,” divided into different “Channels”:
- Agent banners: Standard and limited-time for characters (GosuGamers)
- W-Engine banners: For weapons
- Bangboo banners: For companion units
Currency types include Polychrome (premium), Master Tapes (pull tickets), and Boopons (Bangboo pulls). Each currency is restricted to specific banner types (TheGamer).
Pull Rates & Pity System
Here are the official drop rates for Zenless Zone Zero banners (Zenless.gg, Game Rant):
| Rarity | Standard/Limited Banner Rate |
|---|---|
| S-Rank Agent | 0.6% |
| A-Rank Agent/W-E | 9.4% (4.7% each) |
| B-Rank W-Engine | 94.3% |
Pity System:
- S-Rank (5-Star): Guaranteed after 90 pulls (hard pity); “soft pity” increases odds after 75.
- A-Rank (4-Star): Guaranteed every 10 pulls.
- Limited Banner: First S-rank (5-star) has a 50% chance to be the featured character; next S-rank is guaranteed featured.
- Bangboo Banner: Uses Boopons; similar pity, but players can choose specific Bangboo (Game Rant).
Banner Types & Strategies
| Banner | Currency | Key Features | Strategy Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exclusive (Event) | Polychrome | Rate-up on new S-rank agent, limited | Save for meta characters |
| Stable (Standard) | Master Tapes | All non-limited agents/W-Engines | Use initial discounts |
| W-Engine Banner | Polychrome | Limited weapons, strong synergies | Pair with agents |
| Bangboo Banner | Boopons | F2P specific companions, selectable | Focus on needed roles |
Banner strategies: Track your pulls to avoid wasting Polychrome; save for limited-time, meta-defining agents or W-Engines. Maximize free pulls and take advantage of event discounts (FinalBoss, Theria Games).
