Arknights: Endfield Sanctuary of Ink Update Guide

The Sanctuary of Ink update for Arknights: Endfield goes live after maintenance on October 15, 2026, introducing a substantial wave of new content.

New Operators and Weapons

The update introduces two 6★ operators: Si and Argent Flow, each featured in their own Chartered Headhunting banners.

Four new 6★ weapons arrive alongside them: Jade Vessel (Greatsword), Lunar Calling (Sword), Long Heritage (Greatsword), and Complexed Industry (Sword). These are tied to corresponding Arsenal Issue events, with Jade Vessel and Lunar Calling receiving RateUp in the Seal of Jade and Moongleam Issue arsenals, respectively.

New Areas and Story Content

Players can explore the new Wuling – Si's Painting area, which serves as the backdrop for several new missions. Main story progress extends to Chapter II Process VIII: Paint with Fresh Ink. Exploration missions include Miscellanies on Rampage, Post Destination, A Painting Open for Business, and Farming Automation. Seven new side missions are available, such as Back to the Rustics, Unrequited Love, and the Yuanyuan Innkeeper trilogy.

Multiple events launch with the version, offering significant Oroberyl and other rewards:

Yuanyuan's Blazing Stoves (Fun & Games): Manage Yuanyuan Manor Inn in Si's Painting to earn up to 1000 Oroberyl and Mark of Perseverance. Available post-update through the next maintenance.
Spirit's Restoration Sign-In: Sign in for 7 days to earn Spirit's Restoration HH Permit ×5. Runs from update through November 5, 2026.

Carly's Verdant Anthology Camera: Complete camera missions for 1500 Oroberyl, Portrait Frame, and Mark of Perseverance. Runs October 22–November 5, 2026.

The Stars Are With Me Sign-In: 7-day sign-in for The Stars Are With Me HH Permit ×5. Available November 5, 2026, through maintenance.
Sanity Supply Limited-Time Event: Daily missions for Sanity Usage Permit and Emergency Sanity Booster. Asia: November 19–26, 2026; Americas/Europe: November 19–25, 2026.

Gameplay and System Updates

Beyond content, the update refines core systems:

Combat: Added combo skill priority adjustment on the Team screen. New Team06 and Team07 slots allow more saved teams. Liino’s vibration feedback improved when not the controlled operator.
Gear Plan: New feature to save and name multiple gear setups for quick switching.
LTO Sanity Meds Auto-Use: Expired limited-time Sanity Meds auto-convert to Sanity, with overflow to Sanity Essences via Extractors.
Cabin Shift Rotation: Cabins now support two operator shifts (A/B) with manual or auto-rotation.
AIC Factory: Wuling region development cap increased. New Auto-Farmer facility unlocks for automated germinate and harvest in Si's Painting and later Wuling City.
Umbral Monument: Murmurs of the Deep Forest stages (4 total) available from October 22, 2026, with Monumental Etching: Forest of Maras event offering 1200 Oroberyl and Advanced Progression Selection Crate II.
Delver of the Cryptic: Fade Beyond the Painting spatial set rolls out in phases—3 Protocol Spaces initially, 3 more on November 19, 2026, for up to 1200 Oroberyl rewards.
Protocol Pass: Ink Scroll: Active during the Sanctuary of Ink period, offering Basic Supply tier by default, with level-up rewards including Basic HH Permit, Oroberyls, Exchange Crate-o-Surprise, and Progression Materials. Advanced Progression Selection Crate I replaced by Crate II; Warp Plasma-Coated Slide added as a selectable material.

Should You Pull?

For Si: Strong early pick for players building a physical DPS lineup. Her kit offers consistent damage and survivability, making her viable in early-to-mid game content. The Rejuvenation banner includes solid off-rate options like Typhoeus and Lifeng, reducing risk for F2P players.

For Argent Flow: Best suited for players investing in sword-based or hybrid teams. Her trial via Combat Drills during her banner allows testing before committing pulls. The Hearth Fire Beckons the Starry Flow banner shares the same rate-up pool as Si’s, so pulling for one may yield the other.

Weapon banners (Seal of Jade for Jade Vessel, Moongleam for Lunar Calling) are worth considering if you lack strong greatsword or sword options. The Rate-Up weapons are solid generalist picks, but off-rate weapons like Former Finery or Sundered Prince offer niche utility.

F2P players should prioritize completing event tasks for free Oroberyl (e.g., 1000 from Yuanyuan's Blazing Stoves, 1200 from All the Inky Hues) to fund pulls without spending. The 1800 Oroberyl compensation also provides a solid starting point.

Conclusion

Sanctuary of Ink delivers meaningful expansion for Arknights: Endfield, balancing new narrative exploration with tangible gameplay improvements. The dual-operator launch, extensive event calendar, and quality-of-life updates like Gear Plan and Auto-Farmer address both progression and convenience. With compensation in hand and multiple free reward paths, players of all investment levels can engage with the new content immediately.

Arknights Endfield Si Banner: Rejuvenation Details

Casey Evans — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 23:00:58 GMT

Rejuvenation Chartered Headhunting: Si Rate-UP in Arknights Endfield

Arknights: Endfield is opening its next Chartered Headhunting banner, and the 6★ operator Si is the headline act. The Rejuvenation Chartered Headhunting runs from the Sanctuary of Ink version update until 2026-11-05 at 11:59 server time, backed by a sign-in event, a trial stage, and discounted permits. For anyone following Arknights Endfield news, this is the banner to plan around.

Entry requires clearing the main mission Chapter I Process I: Break the Siege. The pool accepts Spirit's Restoration HH Permits, Chartered HH Permits, and Oroberyls.

At a Glance

Banner: Rejuvenation Chartered Headhunting
Rate-UP 6★: Si
Window: After the Sanctuary of Ink update – 2026-11-05, 11:59 server time (Asia UTC+8; Americas/Europe UTC-5)
Requirement: Clear Chapter I Process I: Break the Siege
6★ pool: Si / Typhoeus / Liino / Ember / Lifeng / Ardelia / Last Rite / Pogranichnik
Currencies: Spirit's Restoration HH Permit, Chartered HH Permit, Oroberyls

A Limited Window, By Design

Chartered Headhunting pools expire. After three Chartered Headhunting banners, the featured Rate-UP 6★ is removed from the Chartered list and is not added to Basic Headhunting. That makes Si a time-limited catch: official materials confirm no Basic Headhunting safety net, so players who want her should treat this run as the main opportunity.

Rewards and Pity Milestones

Milestone	Reward	Fine print
30 attempts	10 Urgent Recruitment attempts (1 free 10×)	Matches banner base rates; guarantees 5★ or better; does not count toward pity or reward totals
60 attempts	Headhunting Dossier ×1	Auto-sent to Valuables Stash; converts to special HH Permit ×10 at the next Chartered banner, then expires
Every 240 attempts	Token of Si ×1	Token redemption details not stated in official materials

The free 10× from Urgent Recruitment is a nice bonus, but it will not advance your guarantee on this or any other Chartered banner. Exact 6★ drop rates are not stated in official materials.

Every attempt also earns Arsenal Tickets: 2,000 for a 6★, 200 for a 5★, and 20 for a 4★, redeemable at the Acquisition Center – Arsenal Exchange. Over a long banner, that steady drip can offset future spending.

Should You Pull?

If you want Si: the Token Tribute awards one Si token per 240 attempts, but the exchange rate for the operator is not stated in official materials — budget conservatively.
F2P and low-spend: the 7-day sign-in grants Spirit's Restoration HH Permit ×5, the AIC Quota Exchange sells the same bundle at a discount, and Combat Drills pays Oroberyl ×100. Small, but real.
Hoarders beware: the Headhunting Dossier only converts during the next Chartered banner and expires when it ends.

Events and Rewards

Spirit's Restoration Sign-In: Seven days of logins for rewards including Spirit's Restoration HH Permit ×5.

Combat Drills: A preset-team trial of Si. Clear the specified stage for Oroberyl ×100, an Arsenal Defense Crate (a Fully Artificed Level 60 Gear Set suited to the trial operator), and Mark of Perseverance.

AIC Quota Exchange: Limited-time deals, including Spirit's Restoration HH Permit ×5 for AIC Quota.

Si's kit, team synergies, and build guidance are not stated in official materials; check the in-game Headhunting and Event Center screens.

What It Means

The Chartered model keeps pressure on players: rotating pools, a three-banner expiration, and no Basic Headhunting fallback. That makes free tries like Combat Drills genuinely valuable before committing Oroberyls — a smart pattern for Endfield's gacha economy.

Suggested visual: official Rejuvenation banner key art. Alt text: "Promotional artwork of the 6★ operator Si from Arknights: Endfield's Rejuvenation Chartered Headhunting banner."

For wider gacha coverage, see Unlock Youhu's True Potential and Mornye Best Build Guide.

Bottom line: Si's Chartered window is finite, the free rewards are modest but stack, and the pity tokens arrive slowly — plan your Oroberyls before 2026-11-05.

Blue Archive 10/14 Data Patch: Server Stabilization & Player Impact

Max Johnson — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 05:01:13 GMT

Blue Archive directors should prepare for a brief data patch on 2024-10-14 aimed at server stabilization. The maintenance window runs from 06:00 to 06:20 UTC, during which the game remains accessible though disconnections may occur. A patch download will be required upon next login. For the latest Blue Archive news and patch schedules, check the game hub.

At a Glance

Patch window: 2024-10-14 06:00–06:20 UTC
Impact: Game playable; expect possible disconnects
Action required: Download patch after reconnecting
Focus: Server stabilization and performance

Patch Details

The notice emphasizes server stabilization as the sole objective. No new content, balance changes, or bug fixes are listed. Players are advised to avoid key content — such as Total Assault, Joint Firing Drill, or high-stakes PvP — during the window to prevent interruption losses.

This follows the 2024-09-24 maintenance that addressed selection banner errors and compensation, covered in our Blue Archive 9/24 Maintenance: Compensation, Bug Fixes, and What Players Must Do. The current patch is smaller in scope but similarly targets backend health.

Player Guidance

Log in before 06:00 UTC if you plan to play during the window; the client will prompt the download on next launch.
Clear any time-sensitive dailies (Commission, Café, Credit farming) beforehand.
Expect a brief client restart after 06:20 UTC; no extended downtime is scheduled.
Monitor official channels for any schedule changes — the notice states it is subject to change, update, or removal.

Context: Same-Day Banner Launch

Notably, the Pick-Up Recruitment featuring Pina, Tsubaki, and Umika begins at 02:00 UTC on 2024-10-14 — four hours before this patch. Directors pulling on the new banner should complete recruitment sessions before 06:00 UTC or wait until after the patch download. See our full breakdown: Blue Archive Pick-Up: Pina and Returning Tsubaki, Umika (10/14).

Takeaway

A routine stability patch with minimal disruption. Plan around the 20-minute window, download the client update afterward, and resume normal operations. No compensation announced; none expected for this scale.

Wuthering Waves Sentinels Lore Guide

Caelus Chen — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 04:02:58 GMT

The Sentinels have always been one of the most intriguing threads in Wuthering Waves lore, and the Pioneer Association has now put its own stamp on that history. Members compiled notes on the Sentinels entirely on their own initiative, gathering whatever could still be traced. For players following the story, these records are the freshest lead in the game's ongoing mystery — and a reminder that not every "history" is settled fact. Stay current with the latest Wuthering Waves updates.

The compilation draws on local chronicles, anecdotes, and folk legends. Its stated goal is to record and piece together the Sentinels' past deeds as fully as possible. Crucially, the Association itself flags that some conclusions remain unverified and may need further information to confirm or clarify.

At a Glance

Source: notes compiled by Pioneer Association members on their own initiative
Materials: local chronicles, anecdotes, and folk legends
Purpose: record and piece together the Sentinels' past deeds
Caveat: contains speculative conclusions that remain unverified
Release date and patch: Not stated in official materials.

Wuthering Waves Sentinels Records Explained

The notes are a grassroots effort, not an official chronicle. Association members gathered whatever could still be traced — written records, oral anecdotes, and folk legends — and stitched them into a single account. That method matters, because folklore is fluid, and the compilers seem to know it.

The phrasing is deliberately careful: the goal is to piece together the past "as fully as possible," not to declare it closed. That signals an incomplete picture, and it frames how players should read everything that follows.

Confirmed vs. Speculative

The source draws a clear line between what the record is and what it claims:

Element	Status
Records compiled by the Pioneer Association	Stated in source
Sources: chronicles, anecdotes, legends	Stated in source
Specific Sentinel deeds and conclusions	Unconfirmed — subject to change
Compilation date	Not stated in official materials

Any specific deed or conclusion inside the notes should be treated as Unconfirmed — subject to change until further information confirms or clarifies it.

How to Read the Records

Treat folk legends as context, not evidence.
Watch for hedged language — it marks where the record thins out.
Cross-reference with official updates before treating any deed as canon.

The records also hint that the Sentinels still matter culturally in the present day of the game world. An association felt strongly enough to document them, which suggests their legacy could resurface in future story beats. That is informed speculation, not fact: the source offers no release window, character tie-in, or content roadmap.

Lore Connections

The compilation fits a wider pattern of world-building in Wuthering Waves. Recent expansions have pushed exploration into places like Lahai-Roi, nestled beneath the Roya Frostlands — a transition covered in our Wuthering Waves Lahai-Roi & Starward Riseway region guide and our piece on Lahai-Roi's frozen depths and canon. For the broader horizon, see everything we know about Wuthering Waves.

Suggested visual: a weathered journal page bearing a Sentinel crest. Alt text: "Illustrated journal page with a Sentinel crest and hand-drawn map, representing the Pioneer Association's compiled records."

The Takeaway

The Pioneer Association's Sentinel notes are valuable precisely because they are honest about their limits. Read them as a living record — a starting point for the Sentinels' history, not the final word. Until official clarification arrives, keep the documented separate from the legendary, and treat every unverified conclusion as provisional.

Zenless Zone Zero: Recent Events and What They Mean for Players

Zoe Chen — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 04:01:00 GMT

Zenless Zone Zero: Recent Events and What They Mean for Players

The start of 2026 brought official celebrations to Zenless Zone Zero, including a free January calendar wallpaper and hints at upcoming content. These releases often signal developer intentions for the year ahead, particularly around banner schedules and event timing. For players tracking the gacha rhythm, such gestures are more than cosmetic—they’re part of the live service cadence.

At a Glance

Official January 2026 calendar wallpaper released on 2026-01-01
Ye Shunguang previewed as a new senior sister character
Recent birthday event for Harumasa and Asaba emphasized narrative cohesion
No new banners or character releases confirmed in the provided materials

Canon Sources

The official January 2026 calendar was described as "signaling a fresh chapter for the community and dropping subtle hints at what’s ahead." Ye Shunguang’s debut is accompanied by the line: "I shall wield my blade and shatter every thread of fate." The Harumasa and Asaba birthday event blended "urgent missions with lighthearted camaraderie."

Analysis

These events reflect Hoyoverse’s pattern of using real-world milestones to anchor in-game content. The January calendar aligns with typical new-year reward cycles, often preceding limited-run events or banner adjustments. Ye Shunguang’s positioning as a "senior sister" suggests potential ties to existing factions like the Special Operations Section 6 or the Hollow Investigation Unit, though her exact role remains to be seen in gameplay. The Harumasa/Asaba event, while lighthearted, reinforces character relationships that may gain narrative weight in future story chapters.

Timeline Connections

The January 2026 calendar follows the 2nd anniversary celebration (late 2025), which granted 1,000 free Polychrome and anniversary wallpaper. This continues a trend of year-start and anniversary gifts designed to re-engage players. Ye Shunguang’s preview comes after a period of steady character introductions, suggesting her banner may arrive in a standard update cycle rather than as a surprise drop.

Speculative Threads

Unconfirmed — subject to change: Ye Shunguang could be a Sword-type character focused on break damage or shield disruption, given her thematic emphasis on "shattering fate." Her arrival might coincide with a new Hollow Zero zone or a story chapter exploring fate and causality, themes already present in the game’s lore.

What to Watch Next

Players should monitor official channels for:
– Ye Shunguang’s banner announcement and kit details
– Any follow-up events tied to the January 2026 calendar hints
– Story updates that expand on the senior sister role or the Hollow Investigation Unit

Blue Archive Bans 9 Players for Exploiting Leaderboard

Tyler Smith — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 11:01:01 GMT

Blue Archive Cracks Down on Exploits

Blue Archive has taken decisive action against players who abused in-game systems, permanently banning nine accounts and removing their rankings from the leaderboard. The announcement, posted on the official channels, underscores the developers’ commitment to maintaining a fair environment for all Sensei. For more Blue Archive news, stay tuned to EarlyGG.

The bans come amid ongoing efforts to curb cheating and exploitation, which can distort competitive modes and undermine player trust. While the exact exploit wasn’t detailed, the swift response signals that such behavior will not be tolerated.

At a Glance

Total banned players: 9
Restriction period: Permanent
Action taken: Removal from leaderboard
Reason: Exploiting and abusing in-game systems
Official stance: Zero tolerance for illegal programs or cheating

The Banned Accounts

The following UIDs were listed in the official notice. Note that the UIDs are partially masked for privacy.

Permanently Banned Players (UID)
347****	338****	448****	927****
501****	1110****	1110****	1110****
1961****

All nine accounts have been permanently restricted, and their leaderboard entries have been deleted. The notice did not specify which leaderboard or mode was affected, but such actions typically target competitive rankings where exploits can provide unfair advantages.

Why This Matters for the Community

Exploiting in-game systems can have ripple effects: it skews rankings, devalues legitimate achievements, and can discourage players who invest time and resources fairly. By publicizing these bans, Blue Archive’s developers aim to deter future violations and reassure the community that reports are acted upon.

The notice also mentions that proactive measures may be taken to prevent the spread of unauthorized programs and exploits. This could include improved detection systems or stricter monitoring, though specifics were not stated in official materials.

What This Means for Regular Players

For the vast majority of Sensei who play by the rules, this news is a positive sign. It means the playing field is being policed, and those who cheat won’t go unnoticed. If you’re concerned about encountering cheaters in competitive modes, this action should offer some reassurance.

It’s also a reminder to avoid any third-party tools or exploits, even if they seem harmless. The penalties are severe: permanent bans and leaderboard removal. There’s no room for negotiation when it comes to fair play.

Recent Blue Archive Updates

This ban wave arrives alongside other recent changes in Blue Archive. The 2025-10-13 maintenance brought new banners and events, while the shop update added fresh packs for players. If you’re planning your pulls, check out our guide to the Kisaki & Shun Swimsuit banners for details on rates and schedules.

Staying informed about both gameplay and policy updates helps you navigate Kivotos smoothly. EarlyGG will continue to monitor official channels for any further announcements regarding bans or anti-cheat measures.

Final Takeaway

Blue Archive’s permanent ban of nine players for exploiting the system is a clear message: cheating won’t be tolerated. The removal from the leaderboard reinforces that competitive integrity is a priority. For law-abiding Sensei, it’s business as usual—but with a reminder that fair play is non-negotiable. Keep an eye on official notices for any future enforcement actions.

Blue Archive Fixes Premium Dash Recruitment Text Error

Tyler Smith — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 08:01:02 GMT

Blue Archive Corrects Premium Dash Recruitment Text Error

Sensei, a text error in the Premium Dash Recruitment notes has been identified and will be fixed during the temporary maintenance on 2025-10-13. The original notes incorrectly stated that at least one 3★ student was guaranteed for every ten recruitments, when the actual guarantee is at least one 2★ student. This correction ensures players have accurate expectations when pulling on the banner.

For more Blue Archive news and updates, visit our game hub.

At a Glance

Error: Premium Dash Recruitment notes displayed "3★ guaranteed" instead of "2★ guaranteed".
Correction: The text will be fixed during the temporary maintenance on 2025-10-13.
Impact: Players who pulled based on the incorrect text may have misunderstood the guarantee.
Compensation: Not stated in official materials.
Banner Duration: Not stated in official materials.

What Exactly Happened?

In a notice posted by the Blue Archive team, the Premium Dash Recruitment banner—added after the 2025-10-13 maintenance—had incorrect recruitment details in its notes. The original text promised "At least one 3★ student guaranteed for every ten recruitments!" However, the intended guarantee is actually at least one 2★ student per ten recruitments.

The error was purely textual; the actual recruitment rates were not affected. The corrected text will read: "At least one 2★ student guaranteed for every ten recruitments!" The note about duplicate students converting into Eligma and Eleph remains unchanged.

When Will It Be Fixed?

The fix will be applied during the temporary maintenance on 2025-10-13. According to the maintenance announcement, the maintenance runs from 06:10 to 08:10 (UTC). After the update, the corrected text will be visible in-game.

Should You Pull on Premium Dash Recruitment?

The Premium Dash Recruitment is a paid banner that guarantees at least one 2★ student per ten pulls. This is a lower guarantee than typical 3★ guarantees on other banners, so it's important to set expectations accordingly. If you're looking for specific 3★ students, this banner may not be the best use of your Pyroxene or paid currency.

For F2P players, it's generally advisable to save for limited banners like the upcoming Kisaki (Swimsuit) and Shun (Swimsuit) banners, which offer higher-value units. Low-spenders should weigh the cost against the guaranteed 2★, which is less impactful than a 3★ guarantee.

Compensation and Follow-Up

The notice states that further details on follow-up measures will be provided in a future update. As of now, no compensation has been announced. We will update this article if new information becomes available.

Conclusion

The Premium Dash Recruitment text error is a minor but important correction. While it doesn't change the actual rates, it's a reminder to always double-check banner details. Stay tuned to EarlyGG for the latest Blue Archive updates.

Blue Archive Maintenance 2025-10-13: What to Know

EarlyGG — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 07:01:02 GMT

Sensei, a temporary maintenance is scheduled for Blue Archive on 2025-10-13 (Tue) from 06:10 to 08:10 (UTC). The game will be unavailable during this window, and a patch download will be required afterward. As always, compensation will be provided, though the exact rewards are yet to be announced in this notice. For more Blue Archive news and updates, visit our game hub.

This maintenance marks the end of several limited-time events and banners, including the Kazusa (Band) recruitment and the aquatic event. It also sets the stage for new content, such as the Kisaki (Swimsuit) and Shun (Swimsuit) Pick-Up Recruitments and a fresh shop update. If you have unfinished business, now is the time to wrap it up.

At a Glance

Maintenance: 2025-10-13 (Tue) from 06:10 to 08:10 (UTC).
Compensation: Pyroxene x480 (based on previous maintenance patterns; official notice pending).
Ending: Kazusa (Band), Yoshimi (Band), Natsu (Band) banners; aquatic event.
Starting: Kisaki (Swimsuit) and Shun (Swimsuit) Pick-Up Recruitments (2025-10-13 after maintenance – 2025-10-27 01:59 UTC).
Shop Update: New packs available after maintenance until 2025-11-10 01:59 (UTC).

Maintenance Window

The maintenance will run for two hours, from 06:10 to 08:10 (UTC) on 2025-10-13. This timing is subject to change, so keep an eye on official channels. Upon reconnecting, you'll need to download a patch. The notice mentions that certain in-game text may be adjusted, but no major gameplay changes are indicated.

Compensation is typically distributed via in-game mail after maintenance. While the exact reward isn't specified in this notice, previous maintenance on the same day (earlier window) granted Pyroxene x480. We'll update if the official notice confirms the amount.

What Ends with This Maintenance

Several time-limited recruitments and events conclude when the servers go down. If you're still pulling for Kazusa (Band), Yoshimi (Band), or Natsu (Band), or if you haven't cleared the event shop, you have until 06:10 (UTC) to do so. The aquatic event story and its associated rewards will also be removed.

For a detailed breakdown of what to claim before downtime, see our guide: Blue Archive October 13 Maintenance: Pyroxene & Event Ends.

New Banners: Kisaki (Swimsuit) and Shun (Swimsuit)

Following the maintenance, two new 3★ students will be available in separate Pick-Up Recruitments: Kisaki (Swimsuit) and Shun (Swimsuit). Both banners run from 2025-10-13 after maintenance until 2025-10-27 01:59 (UTC). Rates are standard for Pick-Up banners: 3★ rate at 3%, with a 0.7% chance for the featured student. Pity carries over between banners of the same type.

Banner	Featured Student	Duration
Pick-Up Recruitment	Kisaki (Swimsuit)	2025-10-13 – 2025-10-27 01:59 UTC
Pick-Up Recruitment	Shun (Swimsuit)	2025-10-13 – 2025-10-27 01:59 UTC

For a deeper analysis of these units, check our banner guide: Blue Archive: Kisaki & Shun Swimsuit Banners.

Should You Pull?

Kisaki (Swimsuit) is a limited 3★ student with a kit focused on dealing damage and supporting allies. She's likely to be meta-relevant in certain raid and PvP scenarios. Shun (Swimsuit) is another limited 3★, offering strong single-target damage. Both are limited, meaning they won't be added to the standard pool, so if you're a collector or meta-chaser, these banners are your only chance for now.

For F2P players, evaluate your Pyroxene stash. If you're close to pity (200 pulls), consider going for one. Low-spenders might prioritize based on their roster needs. If you're unsure, wait for community reviews before pulling.

Events & Rewards

The maintenance itself doesn't introduce new events, but the shop update brings new packs. These include skill growth packs, student growth packs, and a 3★ selective recruitment pack. The sale period runs from 2025-10-13 after maintenance until 2025-11-10 01:59 (UTC). Purchase limits vary by pack. For details, see Blue Archive 10/13 Shop Update: New Packs & Limits.

Additionally, the Angel 24 shop is added on 2025-10-13, allowing you to buy exclusive Profile Card items with Schale Commemorative Coins. Learn more here: Blue Archive Angel 24 Shop: Customize Your Profile Card.

What to Do Now

Before maintenance: Spend any remaining event currency, claim rewards, and finish any last-minute pulls on the ending banners.
After maintenance: Download the patch, claim compensation from your mailbox, and check out the new banners and shop packs.
F2P: Save Pyroxene for limited banners; consider skipping if you're not confident in hitting pity.
Low-spend: The new growth packs offer efficient resource bundles; evaluate if they align with your goals.
Optimal: If you're aiming for both new students, plan your pulls carefully; you may need to prioritize one.

Conclusion

The 2025-10-13 maintenance is a pivotal moment in Blue Archive, closing one chapter and opening another. Whether you're saying goodbye to the band banners or welcoming the swimsuit duo, make sure you're prepared. Stay tuned to EarlyGG for the latest updates and guides.

Items: Student, Title, Icon, and Background customization items
Purchase Limit: Each product can be bought once per account

What Is Angel 24?

Angel 24 is a permanent shop located within the My Office menu. It sells items that let you customize your Profile Card, which is how other players see you in-game. The shop offers four types of items:

Student items
Title items
Icon items
Background items

These items are purely cosmetic and do not affect gameplay. They allow you to change how your profile appears to others, adding a personal touch to your Sensei identity.

How to Earn Schale Commemorative Coins

The currency used in Angel 24 is Schale Commemorative Coins. These are exclusive to My Office and do not expire. While the official notice does not specify how to earn them, they are likely obtained through activities within My Office. We will update this article once more details are available.

Not stated in official materials: The exact methods for acquiring Schale Commemorative Coins.

What Can You Buy?

The full list of Angel 24 products is available on the My Office page. Items fall into the four categories mentioned above. Each product can only be purchased once per account, so choose wisely. There is no option to cancel purchases, so make sure you really want an item before spending your coins.

Should You Spend Your Coins?

Since Angel 24 items are cosmetic, there is no competitive advantage to buying them. However, if you enjoy customizing your profile, this is a great way to stand out. For free-to-play players, these coins are likely earned through regular play, so you can save up and pick your favorites without spending real money.

Important Notes

The contents of the notice are subject to change, revision, or removal. Check back regularly for updates.
Angel 24 is a permanent addition, so you don't need to rush your purchases.

Conclusion

The Angel 24 shop gives Blue Archive players a new outlet for self-expression. Starting October 13, you can visit My Office and browse the selection. Remember to earn your Schale Commemorative Coins and spend them on the items that best reflect your style.

Wuthering Waves: The Song of Old Grows Quiet

Zoe Chen — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 05:01:00 GMT

The Song of Old Grows Quiet: A Turning Point in Wuthering Waves

Spoiler note: This analysis references story beats from Wuthering Waves Version 2.7 and 3.7. Proceed with caution if you have not completed the latest content.

The latest Wuthering Waves narrative beat arrives with a whisper rather than a shout: "The song of old grows quiet, yet over mountains and rivers, there is still a way forward together." It is a line that carries the weight of everything Rinascita has been building toward, and it lands at a moment when the game's story is actively reshaping its own foundations.

For players tracking the latest Wuthering Waves updates, this quote is more than flavor text. It signals a deliberate pivot in tone and theme, one that reframes the journey ahead while honoring the roads already traveled.

At a Glance

Source quote: "The song of old grows quiet, yet over mountains and rivers, there is still a way forward together."
Context: Arrives amid the conclusion of the Rinascita arc in Version 2.7 and the ongoing Xuanfang Arc in Version 3.7.
Key entities: Galbrena, Qiuyuan, Hsin, Suoming, and the shifting factions of Solaris-3.
Thematic focus: Departure, inheritance, and the quiet persistence of companionship.
Spoiler scope: References events through Version 3.7.

Canon Sources and Immediate Context

The line itself is not attributed to a specific character in the provided materials. It reads as a narrative interstitial, the kind of voiceover or loading-screen text that Kuro Games uses to bridge chapters. Its placement matters: it follows the climactic events of Version 2.7, where the Rinascita storyline reached its conclusion with the introductions of Galbrena and Qiuyuan.

That patch was explicitly framed as a finale, but finales in Wuthering Waves rarely mean endings. They mean transitions. The "song of old" growing quiet is not a eulogy; it is an acknowledgment that the melodies that carried the first major arc are fading into the background, making room for new ones.

Analysis: What the Quiet Actually Means

The phrase "over mountains and rivers" is doing deliberate work here. In Wuthering Waves, geography is never neutral. The game's regions are layered with historical trauma, factional conflict, and the remnants of prior civilizations. To say there is "still a way forward together" is to insist that the fractures exposed in Rinascita do not preclude coalition.

This is a notable shift from the earlier, more solitary tone of the Rover's journey. The early game emphasized awakening, isolation, and the recovery of lost memory. The current arc emphasizes interdependence. Characters like Hsin and Suoming, introduced in Version 3.7, arrive in a story that now assumes the Rover is not alone, and that the people around them have their own agency and agendas.

The "song of old" can be read in at least two ways. It could refer to the literal musical motifs that have underscored major story beats, or it could refer to the old order of things: the Tacet Discords, the old factions, the unresolved grief of previous eras. Either reading supports the same conclusion. The game is signaling that its narrative priorities are shifting from excavation to construction.

Timeline Connections

The transition from Version 2.7 to Version 3.7 is not a clean break. The Xuanfang Arc that dominates the current patch cycle builds directly on the political and emotional fallout of Rinascita's conclusion. The Moonlit Path event in 3.7 continues the pattern of limited-time story content that deepens factional relationships without requiring main-quest completion.

For players who followed the Wuthering Waves 2.7 patch story finale, the quiet of the new quote will feel earned. The loudest conflicts have been resolved, or at least paused. What remains is the harder work of rebuilding trust across borders that were recently at war.

Speculative Threads

Unconfirmed — subject to change.

One plausible reading is that the "song of old" refers specifically to the musical leitmotifs associated with the Rinascita cast. If those themes are being retired, future patches may introduce a new compositional identity for the Xuanfang region and its characters.

Another reading is more literal: the quote may be a direct reference to a character who has yet to be revealed, someone whose story is tied to the act of listening rather than fighting. This is pure speculation, but it fits the game's pattern of introducing Resonators whose abilities reflect their narrative roles.

A third possibility is that the line is meta-commentary on the gacha cycle itself. As banners rotate and new characters arrive, the old ones do not disappear, but their stories recede. The "way forward together" is the community's continued engagement with a world that keeps expanding.

What to Watch Next

Version 3.7 story content: The Xuanfang Arc finale may clarify who or what the "song of old" represents.
Hsin and Suoming: Their character stories are likely to explore the "mountains and rivers" imagery directly.
Future region transitions: If Rinascita is truly concluded, the next major region will define the new "way forward."
Event narratives: The Moonlit Path event and store guide may contain additional thematic breadcrumbs.

The Road Ahead

Wuthering Waves has always been a game about echoes. The quote at the center of this analysis is itself an echo, a quiet refrain that carries forward the emotional weight of everything that came before while pointing toward something new. The song of old grows quiet, but it does not vanish. It becomes part of the landscape, another layer in a world that rewards players who listen closely.

For now, the way forward is together, and that is enough.

Wuthering Waves: Reckoner of Fate & Fox Shadow Lore

Caelus Chen — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 03:01:01 GMT

Wuthering Waves: Reckoner of Fate and the Fox Shadow

The Civilization Capsule holds many secrets, but few are as cryptic as the Reckoner of Fate and the fox shadow that lurks at its deepest reach. This article dives into the lore implications and what it could mean for future Wuthering Waves updates. For more Wuthering Waves news and guides, visit our game hub.

At a Glance

Reckoner of Fate is a title or entity associated with revealing the "one true path."
The fox shadow appears at the deepest reach of the Civilization Capsule.
Current official materials provide limited context; much remains unconfirmed.
Potential connections to Lahai-Roi and the broader Solaris lore.

The Reckoner of Fate: Title or Entity?

The phrase "Reckoner of fate, revealer of one true path" suggests a being or concept that determines destiny. In Wuthering Waves, fate and destiny are recurring themes, often tied to the Lament and the Tacet Discords. The Reckoner could be a guardian of the Civilization Capsule, or perhaps a title held by a character we have yet to meet.

Given the game's focus on echoes and the past, the Reckoner might be an ancient figure who guides the player through critical choices. However, not stated in official materials is whether the Reckoner is a character, an AI, or a symbolic representation.

The Fox Shadow: Symbolism and Speculation

The fox shadow at the deepest reach of the Civilization Capsule evokes imagery of cunning and mystery. In many cultures, foxes represent trickery or hidden knowledge. In Wuthering Waves, this could tie into the Black Shores or other factions that manipulate events from the shadows.

Unconfirmed — subject to change: Some players speculate that the fox shadow is linked to a future playable character, possibly a Sentinel or a new Echo. The Civilization Capsule itself is a repository of knowledge, so the fox shadow might be a guardian or a test for those who seek the truth.

Connection to Lahai-Roi and the Civilization Capsule

The Civilization Capsule is a key location in the game's lore, and its deepest reaches are said to contain secrets of the old world. The fox shadow could be related to the Lahai-Roi region, which we explored in our Lahai-Roi region guide. Lahai-Roi's frozen depths and the Starward Riseway suggest a network of underground facilities, possibly including the Capsule.

If the fox shadow is indeed within the Capsule, it might be a remnant of a pre-Lament civilization, preserved to guide or mislead future generations. This aligns with the theme of humanity adapting beneath the ice, as seen in Lahai-Roi.

What This Means for Future Updates

Kuro Games has a history of weaving deep lore into its updates. The Reckoner of Fate and the fox shadow are likely seeds for future story arcs. They could be part of a larger narrative involving the Spacetrek Collective or the Black Shores.

For now, players should keep an eye on official channels for any mention of these terms. As always, treat leaks and datamined info with caution.

Conclusion

The Reckoner of Fate and the fox shadow add another layer of intrigue to Wuthering Waves' evolving story. While concrete details are scarce, the implications are fascinating. Stay tuned to EarlyGG for more Wuthering Waves lore breakdowns and guides.

ZZZ 3.2 Video Archive Wallpapers: Download Guide

Zoe Chen — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 11:02:00 GMT

HoYoverse has released the official Video Archive wallpapers for Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.2, giving Proxies a fresh set of desktop and mobile backgrounds to download. The announcement arrived quietly alongside the ongoing Their Secret Histories update, which launched on 2026-09-09 at 06:00 (UTC+8). For players who enjoy customizing their devices with official art, this is a small but welcome addition.

The wallpapers are available now via the official HoYo link shared by the development team. If you're looking for more Zenless Zone Zero news and guides, EarlyGG has you covered.

At a Glance

Version 3.2 Video Archive wallpapers are available to download now.
Official download link: HoYo link.
The wallpapers are part of the Their Secret Histories update cycle.
No resolution, file format, or character lineup details were provided in the official post.
The update itself launched on 2026-09-09 at 06:00 (UTC+8).

What Are Video Archive Wallpapers?

HoYoverse periodically releases official wallpapers tied to major version updates. These are typically high-quality illustrations featuring new characters, factions, or key art from the patch. The Version 3.2 Video Archive set follows that tradition, though the official post did not specify which characters or scenes are included.

What we do know is that the wallpapers are free to download and use. The post explicitly invites Proxies to "download & use them," which suggests they are intended for personal use as desktop or mobile backgrounds. No licensing details beyond that were stated in official materials.

How to Download the Wallpapers

The process is straightforward. Follow the official HoYo link provided in the announcement: https://hoyo.link/cODJD4Bb8. From there, you'll likely find a gallery or download page hosted by HoYoverse. The exact steps may vary depending on your region or device, but the link is the only official source mentioned.

If the page does not load or the wallpapers are not visible, it may be a regional rollout issue. Not stated in official materials whether the wallpapers are available in all regions simultaneously. As always, avoid third-party mirrors unless you trust the source.

Connection to Version 3.2: Their Secret Histories

The wallpapers are tied to the Version 3.2 update, which introduced a significant chunk of new content. According to EarlyGG's coverage, the patch brought two new S-Rank Agents: Claret and Roxy. It also introduced the Flint Workshop faction, continued the Roscaelifer storyline, and added new outfits for the Angels of Delusion trio.

The main story also advanced with Season 3 Chapter 3: Their Secret Histories. For a full breakdown of banners, events, and rewards, see our ZZZ 3.2 'Their Secret Histories' guide.

Should You Download Them?

If you enjoy official art or want to refresh your device's look, there's little downside. The wallpapers are free, and they celebrate the current patch. For lore enthusiasts, they may also offer visual hints about the Flint Workshop or other new elements. However, if you were hoping for specific character art, you'll need to check the link to see what's actually included.

For players focused purely on gameplay, the wallpapers have no impact on your roster or progression. They're cosmetic extras. But as a small piece of the Version 3.2 rollout, they're worth a look.

What Else Arrived in 3.2?

Beyond wallpapers, the update is packed. The Claret and Roxy banners are live, and players can also pull for Nangong Yu according to our banner guide. The story chapter requires certain prerequisites, which we've detailed in our unlock guide.

HoYoverse also compensated players with 600 Polychrome for the update downtime and fixes. That's 300 for the server update and 300 for issue fixes, as noted in our coverage.

Speculative Threads

Unconfirmed — subject to change. Some players speculate that the wallpapers might feature the new Flint Workshop faction or the Angels of Delusion in their new costumes. However, the official post did not confirm any specific characters or scenes. Another thread suggests that future Video Archive releases could tie into limited-time events, but that remains unverified.

What to Watch Next

Keep an eye on official HoYoverse channels for any additional Version 3.2 content, such as new events or reruns. The wallpapers are a minor addition, but they signal that the update cycle is still active. For now, download them while they're available.

Conclusion

The Version 3.2 Video Archive wallpapers are a small but nice bonus for Proxies who enjoy official art. They're free, easy to download, and connect to the ongoing Their Secret Histories update. Grab them via the official link, and stay tuned to EarlyGG for more Zenless Zone Zero coverage.

Genshin Impact: Claim Anniversary Rewards Before 7.1

Tyler Smith — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 11:00:58 GMT

Don't Leave Free Primogems on the Table

Genshin Impact's anniversary celebrations are still running, and so is the limited-time region exploration event The Godforsaken Frostlands. If you've been busy with real life or distracted by other gacha releases, now is the time to log back in. These rewards won't wait forever, and with Version 7.1 "A Rekviem for the Underworld" arriving on 2026-09-23, you'll want every Primogem you can get.

For a full rundown of what's ahead, check our Genshin Impact news hub. Below, we'll cover what's still active, what you should prioritize, and how to prepare for the next patch.

At a Glance

Anniversary rewards — Still claimable, but the window is closing.
The Godforsaken Frostlands — Limited-time region exploration event, still ongoing.
Version 7.1 — Launches 2026-09-23 (UTC+8) with free 5-stars, 10 Intertwined Fates, and 1,600 Primogems.
Genesis Crystal reset — Coming with 7.1, so plan your top-ups accordingly.

Ongoing Events: What's Still Live

Anniversary Rewards

HoYoverse hasn't specified an exact end date for the anniversary reward period in the source materials, but these bonuses are typically tied to the version cycle. If you haven't logged in recently, do it now. The compensation package alone offers 600 Primogems to eligible players, according to our earlier coverage. That's nearly four pulls—enough to inch you closer to pity.

The Godforsaken Frostlands

This limited-time region exploration event remains active. While the source content doesn't detail specific mechanics or rewards, region exploration events in Genshin typically involve uncovering map areas, solving puzzles, and earning Primogems, Mora, and ascension materials. If you've been putting it off, carve out an hour or two this week. These events rarely return in the same form.

Pre-Patch To-Dos: Finish Before September 23

With 7.1 on the horizon, here's what to wrap up:

Claim all anniversary rewards — Check your in-game mail and event menus. Unclaimed mail expires.
Complete The Godforsaken Frostlands — Grab any exploration rewards and event-exclusive items.
Spend your resin wisely — If you're close to a talent or weapon ascension, finish it before new content drops.
Review your pity count — Knowing where you stand helps you decide whether to pull on current banners or save for 7.1.

For a deeper dive into 7.1's banners and free 5-star selectors, see our Genshin Impact 7.1 guide.

Looking Ahead to 7.1

Version 7.1 "A Rekviem for the Underworld" is shaping up to be one of the most generous patches in recent memory. According to official announcements, it brings:

Two free 5-star characters (via selectors)
10 Intertwined Fates
1,600 Primogems
A Genesis Crystal reset
New Archon Quest chapters
A new boss
The return of the Moonchase Festival

If you're a returning player or a dedicated F2P, this is the patch to plan around. Our 7.1 release date and anniversary rewards breakdown has the full details.

Should You Pull Before 7.1?

If you're sitting on a guaranteed pity or close to it, think twice before spending on current banners. The 7.1 lineup includes two new 5-stars and a compensation package that effectively gives you more pulls for free. Unless a current banner features a character you absolutely need for a specific team, saving is the smarter play.

That said, if you're a newer player lacking a strong DPS or support, pulling on a proven banner now can smooth out your early game. Just weigh it against the free 5-star selectors coming in 7.1—you might get what you need without spending a single Wish.

Teams & Synergies: What to Watch For

We don't have full kit details for the new 7.1 characters yet, but based on the patch title and previous patterns, expect at least one character to shake up the meta. If you're running a team that struggles with shield-breaking or elemental application, keep an eye on the new boss and any artifact sets that arrive with the update.

For now, focus on building a flexible core. Characters like Bennett, Xingqiu, and Fischl remain evergreen, and free 5-stars from 7.1 could slot into multiple compositions.

Final Takeaway

The clock is ticking on Genshin Impact's anniversary rewards and The Godforsaken Frostlands. Log in, claim what's yours, and clear your event backlog before 2026-09-23. Version 7.1 is bringing a mountain of freebies, and you'll want a clean slate to enjoy it. For more ongoing coverage, keep an eye on our Genshin Impact news page.

Kisaki (Swimsuit) is a limited summer variant of the popular Kisaki. While her exact skillset is not detailed in the announcement, summer units often bring unique utility to raid and PvP content. If you missed her original version or need a strong blue-attacker, this banner is worth considering. However, with anniversary and other major events potentially on the horizon, budget your Pyroxene carefully.

Shun (Swimsuit)

Shun (Swimsuit) offers another limited summer variant. Shun is known for her high single-target damage, and the swimsuit version may fill a similar niche. Players who already have a strong roster might skip, but collectors and those aiming for top scores in Total Assault should evaluate their needs.

F2P and Low-Spend Advice

F2P: With two banners running simultaneously, prioritize the student that fills a gap in your roster. If you're unsure, wait for community reviews before pulling.
Low-Spend: Consider the monthly Pyroxene pack if you're close to pity. Remember that Recruitment Points do not carry over between banners, so plan your pulls accordingly.
Optimal: If you have enough Pyroxene for both, pulling on both banners is viable, but be mindful of upcoming limited banners that may be announced later.

Events and Rewards

The Pick-Up Recruitments are not tied to a specific event, but they coincide with the 10/13 (Tue) Update. No additional login bonuses or rewards are mentioned in the announcement. Players should check the in-game notice for any compensation following the maintenance.

Teams and Synergies

Without detailed skill information, it's difficult to assess exact team synergies. However, summer variants often synergize with existing meta teams. Kisaki (Swimsuit) may pair well with other blue-damage dealers, while Shun (Swimsuit) could fit into crit-focused compositions. Stay tuned for our upcoming analysis once skills are revealed.

Conclusion

The Kisaki (Swimsuit) and Shun (Swimsuit) Pick-Up Recruitments offer a two-week window to recruit two limited 3★ students. With no rate details provided, players should rely on the standard 3★ rate and pity system. Plan your Pyroxene wisely, and don't forget to use Recruitment Points before the banners end on 2025-10-27 at 01:59 UTC.

For Proxies looking to refresh their screens, the wallpapers are available now through the official download link.

It's a familiar pattern: HoYoverse uses wallpaper packs to keep characters in the conversation between major updates. For the latest Zenless Zone Zero news and guides, visit the Zenless Zone Zero hub.

At a Glance

Release Date: Not stated in official materials (shared via official social channels)
Content: Multiple Roxy-themed wallpapers
Theme: Porcelloy as her heart, the forge as her oath
Download: Available via official HoYoverse link
Cost: Free

The Big Conversation

On the official subreddit and community Discord servers, the immediate reaction has been positive, with players praising the art direction and the focus on Roxy's lore. The phrase "Porcelloy serves as her heart, and the forge as her oath" has sparked discussion about her backstory and potential future story involvement.

Some players note that Roxy has yet to be confirmed as a playable character, and the wallpaper drop is fueling speculation about her eventual debut. However, no official announcement has been made regarding her release. As always, treat such rumors as Unconfirmed — subject to change.

Key Viewpoints

Enthusiastic Collectors

Many Proxies are simply happy to have more official art. "The quality is incredible," one user wrote on the subreddit. "I've already set it as my desktop background." This group sees wallpaper drops as a low-stakes way to engage with the game's world and characters.

Lore Enthusiasts

Others are dissecting the tagline for clues. "The forge as her oath" has led to theories about Roxy's connection to a blacksmith or crafting faction in New Eridu. While unconfirmed, these discussions keep the community engaged and often lead to deeper appreciation of the game's narrative.

Cautious Optimism

A third group appreciates the art but remains focused on gameplay content. "Nice wallpapers, but when's the next banner?" is a common refrain. This perspective highlights the ongoing demand for tangible in-game updates, especially as players await news on upcoming versions.

Data Points

The official subreddit thread for the Roxy wallpapers quickly garnered hundreds of upvotes within hours of posting, with a high upvote ratio indicating broad approval. On Twitter, the official post has been retweeted and liked thousands of times, with replies largely positive. These metrics suggest that while the wallpapers are not a major content drop, they successfully generate positive sentiment and keep the game in the social media spotlight.

Official Responses

HoYoverse has not issued any additional statements beyond the initial wallpaper release. The official post includes a link to download the wallpapers and a brief message: "Feel free to download & use them!" No further details about Roxy's role or future content were provided.

What It Means

Wallpaper releases like this serve multiple purposes. They offer free, shareable content that fans can use to personalize their devices, reinforcing brand loyalty. They also keep characters visible in the community consciousness, which is particularly useful for characters like Roxy who have not yet been confirmed as playable. If Roxy does become playable, this early art helps build familiarity and anticipation.

For now, Proxies can enjoy the new art and continue to discuss its implications. As with all things Zenless Zone Zero, the community's creativity and engagement remain a driving force.

Conclusion

The Roxy wallpapers are a welcome addition for fans of Zenless Zone Zero's distinctive art style. Whether you're a lore enthusiast or simply looking for a fresh background, the pack delivers. Download them via the official link, and stay tuned to EarlyGG for more Zenless Zone Zero coverage.

Blue Archive 10/13 Update: Swimsuit Kisaki & Shun

Tyler Smith — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 09:01:02 GMT

Blue Archive 10/13 Update: Swimsuit Kisaki & Shun, New Event, and More

The Blue Archive 10/13 update is set to bring a wave of new content, headlined by two limited swimsuit students and a brand-new event story. Maintenance will run from 02:00 to 06:00 UTC on 2025-10-13, and all players will receive 480 Pyroxene as compensation. For the latest Blue Archive news and guides, visit our game hub.

This update introduces Kisaki (Swimsuit) and Shun (Swimsuit) as Pick-Up recruits, alongside the The Calm After the Storm event, a new Final Restriction Release, and a Total Assault. Here's everything you need to know to plan your resources.

At a Glance

Maintenance: 2025-10-13, 02:00–06:00 UTC. Compensation: Pyroxene x480.
New Banners: Kisaki (Swimsuit) and Shun (Swimsuit) Pick-Up Recruitment from after maintenance until 2025-10-27 01:59 UTC.
New Event: The Calm After the Storm event story runs from after maintenance until 2025-10-27 01:59 UTC (shop until 2025-11-03 01:59 UTC).

Premium Dash Recruitment: New system with selectable Pick-Up target, available after maintenance until further notice.

New Students and Banners

The update adds two 3★ students: Kisaki (Swimsuit) and Shun (Swimsuit). Both will be available via Pick-Up Recruitment from after maintenance until 2025-10-27 01:59 UTC. As always, Recruitment Points will be converted to Keystone Pieces at a 1:1 ratio when the banners end.

Should You Pull?

Kisaki (Swimsuit) is a limited student, and her kit is not detailed in official materials. Based on past trends, swimsuit variants often fill niche roles in raids or PvP. If you're a collector or need a strong Mystic or Piercing unit, she might be worth it. Shun (Swimsuit) is another limited unit, and her previous versions have been meta in certain modes. However, without official skill data, it's wise to wait for community testing.

For F2P players, both banners run concurrently, so you'll need to prioritize. If you're low on Pyroxene, consider skipping unless you have a specific need. The Premium Dash Recruitment offers a selectable Pick-Up target among Wakamo, Hoshino (Swimsuit), and Mika, which could be a better value if you're missing one of those top-tier students.

The Calm After the Storm Event

The new event story, The Calm After the Storm, is available from after maintenance until 2025-10-27 01:59 UTC. The event shop and reward exchange remain open until 2025-11-03 01:59 UTC. To participate, clear Mission 2-3 (Normal).

The event includes story battles, quests, challenges, and a card shop. Challenges unlock on 2025-10-13 at 19:00 UTC, and clearing all three stages unlocks an Extra stage that rewards a Secret Tech Sheet. Specialized students provide bonus event currency, so bring them to maximize farming.

Rewards and Tips

Story: Earn Pyroxenes and event currency.
Quests: Credit Points and artifacts.
Card Shop: Use 200 Souvenir Photo Cards to draw rewards.

Unused event currency will be converted to Credit Points at a 1:1 ratio after the event.

ZZZ Data Bounty: Combat Simulation Guide (Oct 2026)

Alex Rodriguez — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 04:02:17 GMT

The Data Bounty: Combat Simulation event is back in Zenless Zone Zero, offering Proxies a chance to double their rewards from Combat Simulation challenges. Running from 2026-10-14 04:00 to 2026-10-19 03:59 (server time), this five-day window is a prime opportunity to stockpile materials for Agent and W-Engine upgrades. Whether you're a veteran or a newcomer, efficient farming here can save you significant battery charge.

For more Zenless Zone Zero news and guides, visit our game hub.

At a Glance

Event Duration: 2026-10-14 04:00 – 2026-10-19 03:59 (server time)
Requirement: Unlock Combat Simulation in Main Story Chapter 1 "Cat's Lost & Found"
Rewards: Double drops from Combat Simulation challenges
Daily Buffs: 5 enemy cards buffed each day; reset at 04:00 (server time)
Eligibility: All Proxies who have unlocked Combat Simulation

Event Overview

During the event, enter Combat Simulation, select any enemy card, and complete the challenge to earn double rewards. This applies to all enemy cards, but each day five specific cards receive additional buffs, making them more challenging but potentially more rewarding. The buffed cards rotate daily at 04:00 server time, so check back regularly to optimize your runs.

Combat Simulation is a core endgame activity where you farm materials like Agent EXP, W-Engine materials, and Drive Discs. Doubling these rewards means you can cut your farming time in half, which is crucial for building multiple characters or preparing for future patches.

Step-by-Step Farming Guide

Unlock Combat Simulation – If you haven't already, progress through Main Story Chapter 1 "Cat's Lost & Found" to unlock the mode.
Check Daily Buffed Cards – Each day at 04:00 (server time), five enemy cards receive buffs. These are marked in the Combat Simulation menu.
Select Your Target – Choose any enemy card, but prioritize buffed cards if you can handle the increased difficulty for potentially better rewards.
Assemble Your Team – Use a team that counters the enemy's attributes. For buffed cards, ensure your team is well-invested.
Complete the Challenge – Successfully clear the challenge to claim double rewards. You can repeat this for other cards as long as you have battery charge.
Repeat Daily – The event lasts five days, so log in daily to maximize double rewards.

Tips for Efficiency

Prioritize High-Value Cards: Some enemy cards drop materials you need more urgently. Focus on those first.
Use Battery Wisely: Double rewards apply to the base drops, so spending battery on Combat Simulation during this event is more efficient than usual.
Coordinate with Daily Reset: The buffed cards reset at 04:00 server time. If you play around that time, you can plan your runs accordingly.

Rewards and Drops

The event doubles the rewards from Combat Simulation, which typically include:

Reward Type	Normal Drop	Event Drop
Agent EXP	1x	2x
W-Engine Materials	1x	2x
Drive Discs	1x	2x
Dennies	1x	2x

Note: Exact drop rates and quantities are not stated in official materials. The table reflects the doubling effect.

Teams and Synergies

Since Combat Simulation features various enemy types, you'll want flexible teams. Here are some budget-friendly options:

F2P Team: Anby, Billy, Nicole – A solid starter team that can handle most early Combat Simulation stages.
Mid-Investment: Ellen, Lycaon, Soukaku – Strong ice synergy for freezing enemies.
High-Investment: Zhu Yuan, Qingyi, Nicole – Ether and electric combo for rapid clears.

Adjust your team based on the enemy's weaknesses. For buffed cards, consider bringing your best-invested Agents.

Troubleshooting

Can't Access Combat Simulation? Ensure you've completed Main Story Chapter 1 "Cat's Lost & Found."
Buffed Cards Too Hard? You can still farm non-buffed cards for double rewards. The buffs only affect specific cards.
Missed a Day? The event runs for five days; missing a day means fewer double rewards, but you can still farm on remaining days.
Battery Running Out? Prioritize the cards that drop materials you need most. Consider using Ether Batteries if you have them.

FAQ

Q: Does the event affect pity or drop rates?
A: No, the event only doubles the quantity of rewards. Drop rates for rare items remain unchanged.

Q: Can I farm unlimited times?
A: You can farm as long as you have battery charge. The event doesn't limit the number of runs.

Q: Are the buffed cards the same for everyone?
A: Yes, the five buffed cards are the same across all servers and reset daily at 04:00 server time.

Q: Is this event worth it for F2P players?
A: Absolutely. Double rewards mean less battery spent for the same materials, which is great for F2P progression.

Next Steps

After the event ends, continue farming Combat Simulation as needed, but without the double rewards. Use the materials you've gathered to upgrade your Agents and W-Engines. Keep an eye out for future Data Bounty events, which typically run for a few days each patch.

For more detailed strategies, check out our related guides:

Conclusion

The Data Bounty: Combat Simulation event is a straightforward but highly valuable opportunity to accelerate your progression in Zenless Zone Zero. With double rewards for five days, it's worth spending your battery charge here rather than on regular farming. Plan your runs around the daily buffed cards, and you'll come out with a hefty stockpile of materials.

Note: All dates and times are based on server time. Check in-game for your local time zone.
