Events & Rewards: What You’ll Earn (And What You’ll Miss If Late)

• Story and Daily Event Modes: Progression here unlocks Star Points, the backbone for receiving milestone rewards through the event.
• Grand Marcel Adventure:
  • Earn Marcel Coating Vouchers for Eous outfits.
  • Popularity Carrots are limited per phase; participation each day yields extra.
  • Warning: Once the end date passes, access closes completely; unclaimed rewards are lost.
• Limited-Time Missions:
  • Unlocks include the Pan Yinhu: Culinary Jewel outfit (cosmetic advantage), exclusive Proxy accessories "Wise: Happy Neigh Year" & "Belle: Neigh Year, Neigh Me" (conditional on prior unlocks), and foundational progression items.
  • Polychromes remain pivotal for future banners—don’t pass up easy sources.

Best practice: Always complete daily Grand Marcel Adventure tasks first in your routine to maximize Popularity Carrots before their cap increases. Missing days directly reduces your total available rewards.

Theorycrafting Corner: F2P & Endgame Impact

While Angels of Delusion is mostly narrative and cosmetic-driven, the high yield of Polychrome and potentially valuable upgrade materials bolsters any serious player’s growth curve. For those prepping for the next limited character or meta shake-up, maximizing these free resources reduces stash pressure and “pity anxiety” before the next high-leverage banner.

For players optimizing for endgame content:
– Outfits are optional for DPS, but morale and team synergy can benefit from chosen cosmetics in extended modes.
– Star Points can be put towards efficient upgrade paths for your main carries or to widen your roster flexibility, essential for Memory of Chaos/SU clears.

Preparation Checklist: Don't Get Locked Out

• Story: Complete Main Story Season 2 Interlude "Encore for an Old Dream" (recommended for full narrative context).
• Level Gate: Confirm Inter-Knot Lv. 20+.
• Daily Routine: Prioritize Grand Marcel Adventure; track Star Points.
• Prize Claim: Exchange all Marcel Coating Vouchers and Popularity Carrots before 2026-03-23 03:59 (server time).

Ridu Chronicles: Permanent Content, Not Permanent Rewards

After the event ends, Ridu Chronicles unlocks replay access to the Angels of Delusion story and game modes. However, be clear: event-limited rewards and Grand Marcel Adventure access do not return. Strictly time-gated; act accordingly.

Conclusion: Don’t Miss Out—Plan for Endgame Efficiency

Zenless Zone Zero’s Angels of Delusion event is a rare convergence of narrative, limited mechanics, and free Polychrome. F2P and competitive players alike can’t afford to let the tight schedule or phase-limited rewards pass by. For those eyeing the next major patch or powerful meta character, this is the moment to stockpile, not skip.

As the schedule concludes, keep watch for announcements on Version 2.7 and upcoming banners—use those hard-earned Polychromes for the cycles that matter most. For ongoing guides and optimal upgrade paths, EarlyGG's Zenless Zone Zero section offers up-to-date planning tips.
