Angels of Delusion Event: Long-Term Incentives & Meta Implications in Zenless Zone Zero

With the debut of the Angels of Delusion squad in Zenless Zone Zero Version 2.6, HoYoverse has unveiled a permanent rewards campaign, incentivizing players to expand their roster with this idol-themed faction. For completionists and meta-chasers alike, understanding the structure and rewards of this event is crucial—not just for cosmetics, but for long-term account power and competitive flexibility.

At a Glance: Angels of Delusion Event Quick Facts

• Event Duration: From the Version 2.6 update through 2026-04-15 11:59 (server time) — but rewards remain permanently claimable if requirements are met.
• Rewards:
  • "Sweet Daydream" Pendant: Recruit any 1 Angels of Delusion member.
  • "Sweet Daydream" Theme: Recruit any 2 members.
  • "Delusions in Progress" Dynamic Wallpaper: Recruit all 3 members.
• Eligible Characters: Sunna, Aria, Nangong Yu (Angels of Delusion faction).
• Reward Claiming: Permanent. Rewards can still be claimed even if you meet the conditions after the event page closes.
• Mindscapes: Only base character acquisition counts—acquiring a character’s Mindscape (dupes) does not advance progress.

Should You Pull? F2P and Low-Spend Considerations

The meta value of the Angels of Delusion units depends heavily on their kit synergy and endgame scaling, as well as your current roster gaps.

• F2P/Low-Spend Optimal: Prioritize if lacking in their niche roles—these characters may fill vital team gaps for future Memory content. Permanent rewards are fully accessible even if recruitment happens later, so there’s no rush if resources are tight.
• Dolphin/Spender Incentives: If aiming for aesthetic completion or maximizing account flexibility, securing all three ensures you’ll instantly unlock every event reward.
• Competing Interests: Consider upcoming banner cycles and limited currency. If you haven’t yet secured S-tier meta staples, weigh your immediate need for these new units against reruns or other anticipated releases.

Teams & Synergies: Setting the Idol Stage

Sunna, Aria, and Nangong Yu—while sharing a faction—are likely to specialize in distinct combat roles. Early kit previews (subject to change) suggest at least one DPS and support archetype among them:

• Full Trio Core (All Three Units):
  • Highly synergistic for content that benefits from cohesive team passives or idol-themed event buffs.
• Duo/Partial Comps:
  • One or two members can slot into meta teams, especially if their faction grants unique synergy bonuses.
• Example Optimized Team:
  • Not stated in official materials. Maintain a flexible core and consider holding off on investments until full kit details and testing emerge.

Events & Rewards: Details and Eligibility

Claiming rewards hinges on one simple requirement: recruiting Angels of Delusion base characters to your squad. Here’s how the milestone-based reward structure breaks down:

• One Member:
  • "Sweet Daydream" Pendant — A unique cosmetic for collectors and character loyalists.
• Two Members:
  • "Sweet Daydream" Music Theme — Freshens up your user interface aesthetics.
• All Three Members:
  • "Delusions in Progress" Dynamic Wallpaper for your in-game home screen—an exclusive flex for completionists.

Preparation Checklist: Maximizing Long-Term Value

• Pre-Farming: Stock up on general ascension and talent/training materials—faction-specific needs will become clearer as kits are finalized.
• Currency Planning: Stagger pulls for maximum pity value during overlapping banners; there’s no punishing timer, so play the long game.
• Resource Management: Don’t over-commit to duplicates (Mindscapes) unless aiming for power spikes—rewards require base unit only.

Endgame Readout: Impact on Competitive Lineups

Given the trend of evolving event rewards and increased endgame complexity, the permanent, cumulative nature of this campaign is a clear play towards sustained engagement. Factions that receive multi-character incentives often form the backbone of future content events or pseudo-competitive challenges (e.g., Memory resets, time-limited team trials). The "no expiration" clause is a welcome relief for F2P players planning around limited banners or currency droughts, minimizing regret over "missing out."

Key Takeaways & Looking Forward

The Angels of Delusion event sets a new precedent in Zenless Zone Zero—prioritizing long-tail incentives and sidestepping the FOMO-driven design typical in gacha event structures. While these rewards are primarily cosmetic, the roster depth they encourage may prove vital for future meta shakeups.
