Why This Event Matters Now
For gacha players, even seemingly minor community events can be the difference between a ten-pull and a skip. Polychromes are a universal currency for wishing in Zenless Zone Zero, and the additional perks—ranging from Discord Nitro Basic to collectible acrylic stands—add incentive far beyond the base game. Crucially, this event also gives early access to participation-only Discord community channels, foreshadowing a trend of ongoing, micro-engagement events tied to account linkage.
