Zenless Zone Zero 3.1 Banner Guide: Remielle, Sigrid, Anniversary Rewards and Pull Advice

As of August 13, 2026, the international server of "Zero" is still in the 3.1 version The Long Goodbye / The Long Goodbye cycle. This version will start on July 29, 2026. The official update announcement indicates that the version cycle is 42 days and is expected to end at 06:00 on September 9, 2026 (UTC+8).

For players who want to draw cards, the most important question now is not "are there many rewards in 3.1", but: Should we continue to draw Remielle at the current stage, or should we leave the film until after August 19 to wait for Sigrid and the re-released channel of choice?

Let’s put the simple conclusion first:

· Like Remielle Dan, or lack the Lumiflux abnormal core, you can keep pumping.

· If you lack ice attribute master C, or want to see the complete card pool in the second half of 3.1, it is recommended to wait until August 19, 2026.

· Anniversary self-selected S-level agents and corresponding audio engines must be claimed first, and then decide whether to invest in additional card pools.

· For players with limited resources, 3.1 is more suitable for "locking in a limited character". It is not recommended to pursue two new S and exclusive audio engines at the same time.

This article will sort out some of the most common questions from players in the international server: who is in the pool now, what will be exchanged on August 19, how the anniversary rewards will affect the card drawing budget, what accounts are suitable for Remielle and Sigrid, and how zero-Krypton/micro-Krypton players can avoid losing the anniversary benefits.

A quick overview of the current card pool

The core new character in version 3.1 is Remielle Dan. She is an S-class Lumiflux Attribute/Anomalous Characteristic agent, and a featured character in the 3.1 Mainline and Anniversary Editions. Remielle's limited channel Paradise Regained will last throughout patch 3.1, so she's not just in the first half.

There is also an S-class replica character Aria at the current stage. If you open the international server card pool on August 13, the focus you will see is basically the group Remielle + Aria. According to the stage arrangement of 3.1, Aria is a re-release of the first half; the second half will be switched to a new card pool combination on August 19th. Please refer to the in-game channel page for the specific countdown to the end.

Current focus	content
Version	3.1 The Long Goodbye
current time point	August 13, 2026
New limited to S class	Remielle Dan
Current replica S-Class	Aria
Remielle Positioning	Lumiflux/Anomaly
End of version	September 9, 2026 06:00 (UTC+8, official update announcement time)

Remielle's value lies mainly in the fact that she started the Lumiflux system. According to the official 3.1 preview and version report, she can accumulate resources to enter a special state, which revolves around abnormal accumulation, team buffs and high explosive reactions. If you already have a mature abnormal team in your account, or are ready to continue investing in new attributes, Remielle is the character that deserves the most priority research in 3.1.

What should we pay attention to at this stage?

With less than a week left until the second half of the card pool, players drawing Remielle would be wise to ask themselves three questions:

1. Do you really like Remielle and are willing to invest resources in her development?

2. Does your account already have teammates who can support the abnormal team or the new attribute system?

3. If the strength or feel suits you better after the Sigrid trial on August 19th, will you still regret draining the resources now?

If you hesitate to answer two of the three questions, it is not recommended to continue taking the test before August 19. The advantage of 3.1 is that Remielle will not leave the version pool immediately. You can wait until the second half of the information is more complete before making a decision.

Second half of the card pool on August 19th: Sigrid appears

The protagonist of the second half of 3.1 is Sigrid. She is an S-level ice attribute/powerful attack agent, positioned closer to a direct output character. For accounts lacking the main C of the ice attribute, Sigrid's appeal will be more immediate than Remielle's.

A special reproduction channel of your choice will also be opened in the second half. According to version reports and official previews, players can choose targets among three S-class agents: Dialyn, Ukinami Yuzuha, and Asaba Harumasa; the corresponding Audio Engine channel will also provide similar self-selected reproduction logic. For international server players, the key point of this mechanism is: The replica channel does not only give you a fixed character, but allows you to choose a target based on your account needs.

3.1 The second half of the point	content
start time	Around August 19, 2026, the specific time is based on the in-game server time
New limited to S class	Sigrid
Sigrid positioning	Ice/Attack
Reproduction of your choice	Dialyn, Ukinami Yuzuha, Asaba Harumasa
Audio Engine Channel	You can choose to target the corresponding copy of the audio engine

If you don’t particularly want Remielle right now, it’s recommended to wait until at least August 19 before making a decision. By then, the Sigrid trial, second half event rewards, and re-engraved self-selected channels will be clearer, and the selection of card draws will not be so blind.

The second half has a great impact on card drawing planning, because it is not simply "change to a new character". Sigrid, re-engraved self-selected channels, second-stage login rewards and some limited-time activities will appear together, and players’ actual resources and goal priorities will be clearer. Especially for self-selected channels, if one of the old characters can just complement your mature team, then its account value may be higher than chasing a brand new system.

3.1 Key timeline

3.1 The core nodes of the international server can be remembered according to the following line:

date	node	The meaning of drawing cards
July 29, 2026	Version 3.1 is online	Remielle, anniversary benefits, main line and first batch of activities start
August 5, 2026	Enigma of the Labyrinth opens	New permanent gameplay brings long-term rewards and development resources
August 13, 2026	Current sorting time point	The first half is still in progress, which is suitable for taking stock of resources and guaranteeing the bottom line.
August 19, 2026	The second half of the phase starts	Sigrid and reproducing customized channels become the main choice
September 9, 2026 06:00 (UTC+8)	Version 3.1 is expected to end	The limited-time version rewards and card pool are coming to an end

This timeline is especially important for returning players. Don’t just look at the card pool end time, but also look at the activity reward collection period. Some activities give out films, encrypted master tapes, or bond coupons, while others give out clothing, development materials, and long-term gameplay resources. If you miss the limited-time rewards, your card drawing budget will be less than the guide estimate.

Anniversary benefits: claim them first, then draw cards

3.1 is the second anniversary version of "Zero Zero", so the intensity of benefits is significantly higher than the ordinary version. The official 3.1 Intel Report states that if you log in during the version period, you can receive limited S-level agent selection, corresponding limited S-level audio engine, film x1,600, encrypted master tape x20, as well as anniversary avatars, titles and other rewards.

The scope of anniversary self-selected agents includes:

Choose your own character	Brief review
Jane	Suitable for players who want to supplement abnormal output or like the rhythm of melee combat
Soldier 0 - Anby	The output direction of the biased electric attribute is suitable for supplementing the core of the second team.
Trigger	It has high general-purpose break/auxiliary value and can be used by many accounts.
Lucia	More focused on long-term functionality and team caps, it is suitable for players who value intensity planning.
Hugo	Suitable for players who like characters or need corresponding output positions

The most common mistake here is to drain the film before receiving the anniversary option. The correct order should be:

4. Log in first to receive anniversary rewards.

5. Let’s see which team position the self-selected S level can fill.

6. Confirm who among Remielle, Sigrid, and self-selected replicas has the best account.

7. Finally, consider whether to use a dedicated audio engine.

If you are a new or returning player, the impact of Anniversary Selection will be even greater. It can directly supplement the core of a team, so that you don't have to forcefully draw the current card pool for "missing characters".

How does the anniversary selection fit in with the current card pool?

Anniversary self-selection is not as simple as "picking the strongest character at random". Because it will affect your judgment on Remielle, Sigrid, and the replica channel of choice.

your situation	Self-selected ideas	Ideas for subsequent card drawing
The new character pool is very shallow	Prioritize core characters who can form a team immediately	3.1 The card pool only chases one favorite new character
Already have main C, but lack of attack/auxiliary	Complement function bits first	Avoid repeatedly pumping the same positioning output
The anomaly system is relatively complete	Consider supplementing abnormally related characters or key teammates	Remielle priority increased
The ice team is short of a leader C	Fill other positions first if you choose	Focus on Sigrid on August 19th
Veteran players only lack a few characters	Fill holes according to existing team	Increased value of reprinted channels of your choice

It is recommended that before choosing the Anniversary S-level, you first open the character list and write down the two teams that you can stably play in. If two clear teams cannot be written, the anniversary selection should give priority to filling the positions that "can establish a team", rather than just looking at character popularity or single target output.

Anniversary audio engine optional, don’t rush to use it

The optional S-class audio engine corresponding to the limited edition is also very rare. Many players will choose to exclusive the character immediately after getting it, but a more stable approach is to first confirm whether the character will really enter your long-term lineup. Especially for returning players, there may already be alternative audio engines available in the warehouse. If you immediately choose an exclusive that will not be used in the short term, it will be a waste of a reinforcement opportunity.

A safer order is: first determine the anniversary self-selected character, and then see whether the character requires a dedicated audio engine to play; if there is no clear answer yet, keep the right of choice first, and wait until you complete the second half of 3.1 to draw cards.

3.1 How much more can I get?

A total draw of 3.1 is impressive. Based on the estimation of all version activities, daily, weekly, version rewards and annual login rewards, free players with perfect attendance can get about 160 or more resources equivalent to the limited pool; if monthly cards and big monthly cards are added, the amount will be even higher.

However, August 13 is no longer the first day of the version. When recalculating now, you have to deduct the portion you have missed or already received. The ones most worthy of priority confirmation are:

Reward source	Current recommendations
Anniversary Film and Login Rewards	First confirm whether you have received them all
Gift From the Clouds	The first half of 10 encrypted master tapes, don’t miss them
The Great En-Nah Giveaway	Opening on August 19th, including encrypted master tapes and Bangbu coupons
Summer Waves Roll In	Edition flagship event, including free Lucy clothing and rewards
Snap! Focus Showdown!	Please clear it before August 24th
Shiyu Defense/Dangerous Attack	Get as much as you can earn, don’t estimate your actual income based on full stars
Exchange store monthly refresh	There is also room for resource planning around September

For players with a limited budget, the benefits of 3.1 are enough to support you to seriously pursue a key character, but it does not mean that you can finish Remielle, Sigrid, replica characters and multiple audio engines without pressure. The worst case scenario for a limited character guarantee is close to 180 draws, so be sure to check your own small guarantee status before investing a large sum of money.

Card Draw Guarantee and Budget: Calculate the Worst Scenario First

The limited agent channel of "Zero Zero" adopts the common S-level guarantee and 50/50 mechanism. To put it simply, if you do not get the current UP when you get S level in the limited channel, your target character will be guaranteed to be S level next time in the limited channel. For card drawing planning, what really matters is not "how much you draw on average", but whether you can withstand the worst-case scenario.

Current status	risk judgment	suggestion
The next gold is a big guarantee, and it has more than 70 draws	lower risk	Can directly lock on a target
The next gold is not a big guarantee, but there are already more than 100 resources.	medium risk	You can charge one character, but don’t touch Audio Engine at the same time.
The resources are less than 70, and it is not a big guarantee	higher risk	Wait until the second half of the pool opens before deciding.
Want Remielle + Sigrid	Budget pressure is great	Be prepared to lose at least 50/50.
Want a character + exclusive sound engine	Requires additional budget	Character first, sound engine later

If you are a zero krypton or small monthly card player, it is recommended to write your goals very specific: for example, "only draw Remielle to 0 shadows", "just wait for Sigrid, do not touch the re-engraving", "only draw Dialyn for the re-engraving of your choice, and stop if it is crooked." The more ambiguous the goal, the easier it is for resources to be dispersed among multiple pools in the anniversary version.

When should you stop?

Stopping rules are more important than card drawing suggestions. You can refer to the following items:

· Already got the target character, and far away from the next S-level guarantee: stop.

· The target character is not meant to be, but just "looks good": wait for the second half.

· If you haven’t collected the anniversary rewards and event rewards yet: claim them first, then draw them.

· Audio Engine Pool will affect your character drawing in the next version: don’t touch it.

· After continuous investment, the mentality starts to get better: close the card pool and do activities first.

3.1 There are many rewards, but the more rewards there are, the more boundaries must be guarded. For most accounts, a stable and usable new character is more valuable than two half-developed characters with inconsistent teammates.

How to choose between Remielle, Sigrid and self-selected replicas?

If you only look at the card drawing priority, you can judge it based on account requirements.

Account status	It is more recommended to pay attention to
Lack of abnormal core, want to play new attributes	Remielle
Already have an abnormal team and want to strengthen the Lumiflux system	Remielle
Lack of ice attribute master C	Sigrid
I like direct output and station rhythm.	Sigrid
Want to fill in an old role or already have a corresponding team?	Reproduced channels of your choice after August 19
Film is nervous, there is no guarantee yet	Wait for the second half first, don’t rush to smoke
Already guaranteed and only want to draw one	Choose the character you like the most or who best complements your team

Remielle's advantage lies in version status and system freshness. As a core character in the 3.1 main line and one of the first key characters in the Lumiflux system, her long-term attention will not be low. The disadvantage is that if your account does not have teammates configured around abnormalities, attribute reactions, or new systems for the time being, the short-term experience may require more development investment.

Sigrid's advantages are more intuitive: strong attack with ice attribute and clear target. Players who lack ice C can just wait for her; but if your account already has a powerful ice team, Sigrid will have to be compared with the re-selected and future 3.2 new characters.

The value of replicating the channel of your choice lies in "filling the holes". If someone from Dialyn, Ukinami Yuzuha, or Asaba Harumasa happens to round out your team, it might be more practical than chasing new characters. Especially for veteran players, in many cases they are not missing a more eye-catching new C, but they are missing a key puzzle piece that allows the second team to take shape stably.

Recommended routes for different players

New players: Priority is given to ensure that a complete team can be formed. In the anniversary selection, you can fill in core roles or key functional positions first, and for the 3.1 limited pool, try to only choose one favorite target. The new account seems to have a lot of resources, but the development materials, driving disks and team training will limit the character's performance. It is not recommended to draw too many directions at once.

Returning players: First check whether the main force you had before quitting can still play the current content. If the old team can still be used, 3.1 can give priority to new characters you like; if the old team lacks key puzzles, the anniversary self-selection and re-release self-selection channels may be more practical than chasing new characters.

Old players: Focus on the team limit and environment coverage. Remielle provides a new system, Sigrid supplements the ice attribute output, and the re-engraved version can make up for the shortcomings of the old system. The most common pitfall for veteran players is "every character can be used, so everyone wants to play it." However, there are still only a few teams that have been playing for a long time.

Intensity Party: Wait until August 19th before making a final judgment. The second half of the trial, the first day of actual testing, the abyss/crisis environment and community team formation will all be clearer. Players who prioritize strength are not suitable for early stud when the information is incomplete.

XP Party: Shoot whoever you like, but it is also recommended to check your own guarantee first. If the character is the real one, the exclusive audio engine and movie can be added slowly after subsequent re-releases; the primary goal is not to miss out on the 0 shadow of the character due to temporary inconveniences.

Recommended card drawing decision table

The following table can be directly used as a card drawing checklist before the second half of 3.1:

your current thoughts	More stable handling
“Remielle likes it so much, I want to smoke it now”	You can smoke, but first confirm whether you want to leave Sigrid's resources
“I still don’t understand whether Remielle is strong or not.”	Wait until August 19th for the review and the second half of the pool
“Sigrid is my destiny”	Stop now and save until the second half
“There is someone in the replica who happens to be a replacement for the team.”	Please wait until the re-creation channel of your choice is opened before deciding.
"There are so many anniversary benefits, I should be able to get them all."	First press 180 to calculate the worst case scenario
“I was just a little short of withdrawing the money.”	If it is not a big guarantee, it may still go wrong.
"I want to smoke my own audio engine"	Get the character first, then look at the remaining resources

Do you want to smoke Audio Engine?

The priority of ordinary players is still: role is greater than exclusive audio engine.

3.1 has anniversary audio engine optional, which will significantly reduce the pressure on the weapon pool. Unless you have already obtained the target character, have enough guaranteed margin, and confirmed that the exclusive sound engine will greatly improve the character, it is not recommended to draw the sound engine before the character is determined.

A more stable approach is:

· Remielle or Sigrid draws 0 shadow first.

· Trial play and walkthrough confirm team rotation.

· See if a Class A or resident audio engine replacement is sufficient.

· Finally, decide whether to pursue exclusives.

If you are a low-income or zero-interest player, the most rational strategy in 3.1 is usually "one character + save resources" rather than "want all the characters, audio engines, and replicas".

If you already have a target character, but are not sure whether the audio engine is worth drawing, you can first observe three points: whether the exclusive audio engine changes the cycle, whether the abnormality/imbalance/output efficiency is significantly improved, and whether there is an easily available A-level replacement. If the exclusive is just numerically higher, rather than making the character's gameplay complete, it's usually lower priority than a new character.

Common misunderstandings

Misunderstanding 1: The anniversary version has many rewards, so you can draw it casually.

More rewards only mean more planning space, but it does not mean a reduction in guaranteed costs. Limited roles are still expensive at worst.

Myth 2: New characters must be worth more than remakes.

New characters have a sense of freshness, but if the remade characters just complete the team, the actual improvement may be more stable.

Myth 3: You can’t play the Audio Engine without pumping it.

In most cases, the character itself is the core of the experience. The exclusive audio engine is more like a cap enhancement, rather than a ticket that every account must chase.

Myth 4: Just look at other people’s card drawing routes and you can copy them.

Card drawing recommendations are highly dependent on the account’s existing characters, guaranteed status, number of resources, and personal preferences. If others are short of ice C, you don’t necessarily need it; if others want to supplement the abnormal team, you don’t necessarily need it.

Misunderstanding 5: The second half has not started yet, so a decision must be made now.

In fact, waiting a few days is often more stable. Remielle continues in the 3.1 full version. After August 19th, you can compare Remielle, Sigrid and replica channels at the same time.

Suggested card drawing routes after August 13

If you just returned to the pit today, it is recommended to follow this route:

8. Log in to receive maintenance compensation, anniversary rewards, optional S-level and audio engine.

9. Clear out unfinished login rewards and limited-time activities.

10. Check how many draws are in the current limited pool and whether the next gold is guaranteed.

11. If Remielle is your life or just fills in, keep drawing.

12. If it is not your destiny, wait until Sigrid and the re-engraved self-selected pool are opened on August 19 before deciding.

13. After the second half opens, give priority to receiving The Great En-Nah Giveaway, and then see if the actual resources are enough to reach the goal.

The most stable mentality is: 3.1 There are many benefits, but precisely because of the many benefits, the temptation of the card pool will be amplified. Don't let "getting a lot of draws for free" turn into "drawing an extra pool that was not planned".

FAQ: Several questions most frequently asked by international server players

Will Remielle drop on August 19th?

Won't. According to the 3.1 card pool arrangement, Remielle’s limited channel will last throughout the 3.1 version. On August 19, mainly the second half of the characters and the reproduction channel will be switched. Remielle can still continue to draw, and the final decision will be based on the in-game channel countdown.

Is Sigrid worth the wait?

If you lack an ice-type attack character, or prefer a direct damage-dealing character, Sigrid is worth waiting until the second half of the trial before making a judgment. Even if you decide not to smoke Sigrid in the end, waiting until after August 19 to smoke Remielle will save you the risk of insufficient information.

Who should you choose first for your anniversary?

There are no absolute answers. New players give priority to filling in the core or functional positions that can form a team immediately; old players give priority to filling in the shortcomings of the existing lineup. Don't just look at the strength list of a single character, look at whether this character can be included in your actual team.

3.1 Can Zero Krypton be limited to two players?

If you already have a high draw, a big guarantee, or are lucky, you may have a chance; but based on a conservative budget, it is not recommended to treat both limits as stable targets. Zero krypton players are more suitable to clearly lock in a character and leave the remaining resources for the next version.

Who is suitable for reproducing the channel of your choice?

Suitable for players who already know what they are missing. If what you are missing is a key puzzle piece for a mature team, recreating the channel of your choice is very valuable; if you don’t know what you want to fill in yet, it is recommended to wait until the strategy and trial content are complete before making a decision.

Summarize

As of August 13, 2026, "Zero" international server 3.1 is still a version that is very suitable for returning and strengthening accounts. Remielle represents the new attribute and abnormal system, Sigrid will provide ice attribute power attack options in the second half, and the anniversary selection allows players to purchase a limited S-level character and corresponding audio engine without spending any film.

If you are already sure you like Remielle, you can draw it; if you are still hesitating, it is recommended to wait until the second half of the card pool opens on August 19, 2026 before making a final decision. For most players, receiving rewards first, then checking the team, and finally drawing cards is the most comfortable rhythm in the 3.1 international server.
