Grand Total for Version 2.6<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAdd everything together, and you\u2019re looking at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2192 26,000+ Polychromes + Encrypted Master Tapes<\/strong>\u2248 180+ total pulls (F2P)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWhich means, you can realistically hit hard pity once this patch without spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Smart Pull Tips & Strategy for ZZZ Version 2.6<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nNow for the part that actually saves you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Treat 180 Pulls as Your Safety Line<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you want a featured agent with zero stress, always plan around 180 pulls<\/strong>. Anything below that means you\u2019re betting on luck. Meanwhile, anything at or above that \u2192 guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSoft pity usually hits around 75\u201385 pulls<\/strong>, but don\u2019t rely on \u201cusually.\u201d Always assume the worst case first.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you hit early? Nice bonus. If not, you\u2019re still safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Always Check Your Current Pity First<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nBefore pulling, open Signal Search history. Ask yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nHow many pulls since last S-Rank?<\/li>\n\n\n\n Am I on 50\/50 or a guarantee?<\/li>\n\n\n\n How many more pulls to 90?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nExample:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n45 pity \u2192 you only need 135 max<\/li>\n\n\n\n Guaranteed \u2192 only 90 needed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nThat difference alone can save 14,000+ Polychromes<\/strong>, which is basically another character.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNever pull blindly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Don\u2019t Split Between Multiple Banners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTrying to chase Sunna, Aria, and Nangong Yu in one patch? That\u2019s how you end up with none.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Worst-case math:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n1 unit = 180 pulls<\/li>\n\n\n\n 2 units = 360 pulls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nF2P income per version doesn\u2019t even reach that. Pick one main target. Commit. Done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Agents First, W-Engines Later<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nCharacters give you 90% of the power. Weapons are luxury upgrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re F2P or a light spender:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nSecure the Agent first.<\/li>\n\n\n\n Only think about W-Engines if you win early.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nOtherwise, you risk walking away empty-handed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Farm Smarter, Not Harder<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nMost Polychromes actually come from a consistent routine, not grinding 6 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High-value stuff first:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nDaily Activity (60\/day)<\/li>\n\n\n\n Shiyu Defense resets<\/li>\n\n\n\n Hollow Zero weekly<\/li>\n\n\n\n Limited-time events<\/li>\n\n\n\n Event shops (always buy Polychromes\/Master Tapes first)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nMissing just 3 days of dailies equal with losing a full pull<\/strong>. Small leaks add up fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\nConsistency > marathon sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
