Should You Pull? Meta and F2P Considerations
Both exclusive agent banners offer newly released S-Rank attackers: Cissia (Electric – Attack) and Seed (Electric – Attack). The return of Pulchra (Stun) and Ben (Defense), now accessible at boosted A-Rank rates, offers efficient pickups for players needing support roles optimized for physical or fire teams.
From a meta perspective, electric attackers are historically critical for breaking certain high-threat boss shields in simulated endgame content. Cissia is positioned as a premier single-target Electric carry, likely to rival or outpace previous generation SSRs in action value manipulation and reliable Weakness Break output. Seed may introduce new electric-based team archetypes, though full kit details are unconfirmed—hold on pulls if undecided.
The W-Engine banners prioritize offensive supports: Serpentine Seeker and Cordis Germina. If you rely on electric or physical DPS, consider targeting the relevant W-Engine for maximum synergy (see below). F2P and low-spenders are advised to prioritize characters over weapons unless you are at risk of capping out on effective progression due to lacking 5★ gear.
Events & Free Trials: Try Before You Pull
"The Final Callback – Audition Stage" provides a risk-free opportunity to test all featured agents. This is a significant quality-of-life improvement, letting Proxies directly feel kit pacing, gauge attack behaviors, and evaluate synergy with their current teams—vital before committing premium currency. Completing each trial for the first time grants additional rewards, helping boost account resource efficiency. If you already finished a previous exercise with Pulchra or Ben, you can auto-claim those rewards for this event.
Proxies must reach Inter-Knot Lv. 8 and unlock the event menu via the Main Story Prologue—Intermission to participate.
Teams & W-Engine Synergies
Cissia and Seed both thrive with support agents who bolster Electric damage, action speed, or Toughness break stats. Efficient team cores may include:
- Cissia + Pulchra + Ben: Electric main DPS supported by defensive fire shielding and physical stun rotation—optimal for content with mixed elemental breaks.
- Seed + Pulchra + Electric support: Maximizes exploitation of single-weakness Electric bosses.
The Serpentine Seeker and Cordis Germina W-Engines both offer high-attack stat lines tailored for their signature agents. Unless chasing niche break-point thresholds, agents rarely benefit enough from off-focus W-Engines to justify diversion from main banners.
Endgame Readout: Lasting Impact on Memory of Chaos
With top-performing Electric attackers like Cissia entering the fray, expect a sharp increase in clear rates for Memory of Chaos floors weak to Electric. The ability to stagger bosses quickly, paired with the introduction of S-Rank signature W-Engines, directly raises time efficiency and survivability for F2P and whale accounts alike. Existing teams using physical stun units will also benefit from the chance to pull dupes for Pulchra.
For ongoing and future patch cycles, this banner structure favors flexible account growth—bank currency now if already well-covered for Electric, but act if your account lacks a premier Electric DPS.
Conclusion: April 2026 Banners Offer Power—But Spend Wisely
April’s Signal Search cycle in Zenless Zone Zero offers a crucial window for upgrading Electric and Physical team options with powerful S-Rank units and tailored W-Engines. Proxies should test new units via free trials and prioritize pulls based on true account needs—not just recency.
