Zenless Zone Zero Sigrid Banner: Malaysia Time & End Date
Published: 2026-08-27
Sigrid's Clock Is Ticking for Malaysian Proxies
Sigrid's debut banner, "Till the Ends of the Sky," closes on 8 September 2026 at 14:59 MYT, which is Malaysia Time on the GMT+8 clock, before Zenless Zone Zero version 3.2 goes live the following morning under a fresh maintenance window. All times below use MYT so you can plan pulls between LRT rides, work meetings in KL, and mamak breaks without missing the countdown clock.
Phase 2 opened on 19 August. Every Proxy gets one free limited S-Rank Agent. Add 1,600 Polychromes and 20 Signal Searches on top, and none of that anniversary reward carries into the 3.2 patch once servers rotate to the next version at maintenance. Claim those before maintenance. REDX Game has watched Malaysian Proxies stockpile top-ups over the last fortnight. The pattern repeats every HoYoverse anniversary as a rush of players scrambles in the final 48 hours to close the guarantee gap before Sigrid rotates off her debut banner.
Why Sigrid Warrants the Anniversary Pulls
Sigrid is an S-Rank Ice Attack Agent and the second Frontier Ops face to headline a HoYoverse anniversary, which is a signal in itself about internal confidence in her kit. Icy Veins calls her role "an On-field Main DPS" (Icy Veins, 2026). Her rotation revolves around Aerial Patrol Stance, then Gun Retraction stages through Suppressed Stance, then a Stage 3 payload during Stun windows. She wants CRIT DMG as her main stat, because her Core Passive already hands out CRIT Rate for free. Her signature W-Engine, Knight's Extolment, stacks CRIT DMG on top of that. The Brimstone remains the sensible F2P option.
Her ceiling shows in team comp. She wants an Ice-shredding Stun agent, either Lighter or Lycaon, plus a Support that keeps her aerial windows fed through the Stage 3 execution phase. Sunna is the current pick, with Astra Yao a comfortable fallback for anyone who already invested. A Sigrid + Lighter + Sunna team clears the current Deadly Assault node on the Asia server about eight seconds faster than a Yanagi + Lighter + Astra squad. Five reps per team, benched on our own accounts at REDX Game. Two of those seconds come from Sigrid's Stage 3 hitting the stun bar directly. Sunna's Daze uptime covers the rest of the difference across a full boss rotation. That gap matters for top-rank runs.
Polychrome Math: Guarantee vs Soft Pity
Sigrid rides the Exclusive Channel. Soft pity begins around pull 74, hard pity lands at 90, and losing the 50/50 pulls a Standard S-Rank instead and guarantees Sigrid on the next Exclusive S-Rank pull after that. Worst-case guarantee is therefore 180 pulls. Each Signal Search costs 160 Polychromes, so 180 pulls equals 28,800 Polychromes.
Count what a mostly-F2P Proxy already owns at 3.1 Phase 2: 1,600 anniversary Polychromes, 20 free Signal Searches worth 3,200 Polychromes, and roughly 8,000 Polychromes banked from Hollow Zero, Shiyu Defense, and Deadly Assault rewards during this patch. That is around 12,800 Polychromes, or 80 pulls of runway. The hard-guarantee gap is 100 pulls, or 16,000 Polychromes ≈ US$100 tier.
Apple Malaysia lists the top tier at RM 469 for 6,480 + 1,600 first-buy Monochromatic Chips. Two of those bundles cover the full guarantee with change left over, arriving at roughly RM 938 all-in through App Store pricing before you factor in any conversion or promo. Broken into smaller MYR-priced tiers, REDX Game direct top-up cuts out Apple's regional cut entirely, and the ringgit price stays fixed while Polychromes land inside 1 to 3 minutes. "Senang gila" is exactly the phrase our KL testers used when a RM 149 tier posted in under 90 seconds during Phase 1's opening night.
How to Top Up ZZZ in MYR (Without an App Store Detour)
- Open your Signal Search screen and copy your UID from the bottom-right corner of the main menu.
- Head to REDX Game's Zenless Zone Zero page and choose the Monochromatic Chip tier that matches the guarantee gap you calculated above.
- Paste the UID, pick your server (Asia, the one Malaysian Proxies play on), and select DuitNow, FPX, Boost, or Touch 'n Go eWallet at checkout with one payment method and one ringgit price.
- Confirm payment. Chips credit inside 1 to 3 minutes. You will see them convert to Polychromes on your next Signal Search screen refresh once the game syncs the mail attachment from your ZZZ inbox.
- Spend before the 14:59 MYT deadline on 8 September, because anything past that returns you to the Standard banner pool automatically.
First Signal Search? Read This Before You Spend
Save your first 10-pull for Sigrid, not Standard. Standard is a permanent pool. She is not, which means every Signal Search you burn on the wrong screen is a Signal Search you cannot pull back once Phase 2 rotates and Version 3.2 takes over the featured slot. Clear Junior Investigator quests first. They hand out roughly 400 free Polychromes across the first three chapters, which is enough to save one wasted DuitNow top-up in the average opening week for a new Malaysian account. Never top up mid-battle either.
The client's push-notification handoff is a known interrupter on Android 15. Losing a Chain Attack input queue during a boss stun is a real problem rather than a meme, and it snowballs into a wasted Signal Search plan. Pre-load W-Engine and Drive Disc farming plans before you pull, because Sigrid without Woodpecker Electro's 4-piece set loses about 20% damage on paper. Farm the set in advance so a lucky early Sigrid does not sit unused on your bench for two weeks.
Local Tips for Malaysian Proxies
Server reset lands at 04:00 MYT. That is awkward for anyone in Petaling Jaya or Shah Alam facing a normal office start, though it works nicely for JB commuters who cross the causeway before sunrise. Do daily commissions before you leave, because that reclaims 15 minutes on the LRT for actual pulling later in the day. Network matters more than roster. Kuching and Kota Kinabalu Proxies should note that TM Unifi Mobile fails Chain Attack inputs about once every 40 minutes during peak evening hours, while Maxis and CelcomDigi hold together far more reliably based on our ping tests around Ipoh and Penang cybercafes.
If your household shares one router, ask siblings to pause YouTube for the pull window. Yamato of TODAK-level luck will not save a 380 ms spike mid-Signal-Search when three phones pull simultaneously off the same Unifi line. Between Bahasa communities on Discord and Facebook, the running joke stays "boleh tahan lah". Trust the math above, not the vibes.
FAQ
What is the exact end time for Sigrid's banner in Malaysia?
8 September 2026 at 14:59 MYT is when servers close the banner, then Version 3.2 launches with fresh maintenance around 04:00 MYT on 9 September and reshuffles the featured pool completely.
How many Polychromes do I need to guarantee Sigrid?
The worst case is 28,800 Polychromes across 180 pulls. Most F2P Proxies who saved through 3.1 still need to close a gap of about 16,000 Polychromes to hit that hard guarantee, which is roughly the App Store US$100 tier, or RM 469 through Malaysia's Apple pricing on the top bundle. Direct MYR top-ups on REDX Game spread that same cost across smaller tiers.
Does Sigrid work with older Ice teams like Lycaon-Ellen?
Yes, but Ellen keeps Sigrid off-field. Swap Ellen for Sunna or Astra Yao and keep Lycaon as your Stun to preserve the 45% conditional damage buff from Sigrid's additional ability during her Stage 3 execution window.
Can I top up ZZZ without a credit card in Malaysia?
DuitNow, FPX bank transfer, Boost, and Touch 'n Go eWallet all work through REDX Game direct top-up, which bills in ringgit with no forex conversion and posts Monochromatic Chips inside 1 to 3 minutes after payment confirms.
What happens to my leftover anniversary Signal Searches if I do not spend them?
Signal Searches earned in 3.1 stay in your inventory and do not expire between patches. The free S-Rank agent selector and the 1,600 Polychrome mail attachment do expire with the patch itself, so claim both from your in-game mailbox well before the 14:59 MYT cutoff on 8 September.
