5 Zenless Zone Zero Monochrome Packs Ranked by Value: Malaysia 2026
Published: 2026-09-24
Fastest verdict: the 6,480 Monochrome pack at REDX Game costs RM 429 and works out to 5.31 sen per Monochrome, which is 16.5% cheaper per unit than the RM 21 starter tier and the outright best value on the ZZZ ladder for Malaysia in September 2026. First-time buyers pull that number down to 2.95 sen per Monochrome on the same tier, thanks to HoYoverse's double-Monochrome bonus that applies once per denomination. Head to the REDX Game Zenless Zone Zero top-up page if the number alone is enough.
This ranking runs through all five Monochrome tiers stocked for Malaysia, priced against App Store Malaysia and pegged to Claret's Bloodmoon Rising banner, which HoYoverse's official Version 3.2 announcement confirms stays live until 30 September 2026 before Roxy's Cindernight Respite takes over on the same day. Pull budgets sit inside the analysis, not next to it.
Every ZZZ tier and its App Store gap
The Malaysian ladder covers the same five denominations HoYoverse's own top-up center serves, minus the tiny 60-Monochrome sample. Bonuses shown are the standard repeat-purchase amounts; the first-time double is layered on top. Ringgit figures come from REDX Game's live catalogue for the Zenless Zone Zero direct top-up service, and the App Store column is quoted against Apple's Malaysia store price sheet.
Pack (repeat)REDX Game (MYR)App Store MY (MYR)You save
300 + 30 bonusRM 21.00RM 24.90RM 3.90
980 + 110 bonusRM 69.00RM 82.90RM 13.90
1,980 + 260 bonusRM 138.00RM 165.90RM 27.90
3,280 + 600 bonusRM 218.00RM 265.90RM 47.90
6,480 + 1,600 bonusRM 429.00RM 519.90RM 90.90
The App Store gap grows almost linearly with the tier size: 18.6% at RM 21 and 21.2% at RM 429. Anyone told the App Store is fine for a "small" top-up is losing roughly one-fifth of every ringgit to Apple's regional take, whichever tier they pick.
Sen per Monochrome — where the actual math lands
Divide the ringgit price by the total Monochrome each pack delivers, standard bonus included, and the ladder ranks itself:
- 6,480 + 1,600 → RM 429 → 5.31 sen per Monochrome. Best value on the ladder by a clear margin. First-time buyers land at 2.95 sen per Monochrome on this tier.
- 3,280 + 600 → RM 218 → 5.62 sen per Monochrome. 5.8% more expensive per unit than the 6,480. Sensible middle ground if RM 429 is too much for one order.
- 1,980 + 260 → RM 138 → 6.16 sen per Monochrome. Reasonable if you know exactly how many pulls you need and do not want to overshoot.
- 980 + 110 → RM 69 → 6.33 sen per Monochrome. Basically the same per-unit cost as the RM 21 tier. There is no reward for stepping up unless you plan to keep going.
- 300 + 30 → RM 21 → 6.36 sen per Monochrome. The worst per-unit value on the ladder, but the safest single test purchase for a new account. Also the only tier where the first-time double bonus finishes at a modest outlay.
Two units of the 3,280 pack land 7,760 Monochrome for RM 436, while a single 6,480 pack delivers 8,080 Monochrome for RM 429. The bigger box wins on both count and cash, which is unusual on gacha ladders that normally flatten out at the top.
Best tier for a Claret pity, in plain numbers
Claret's Bloodmoon Rising Signal Search follows the standard S-Rank soft pity around pull 74 and a hard pity at 90. A player with an empty pity counter needs, worst case, 90 Signal Searches, or 14,400 Polychrome, to guarantee Claret. One tier down, a 50-pull soft-pity budget covers 8,000 Polychrome.
REDX Game's 6,480 pack lands 8,080 Monochrome, which converts one-to-one into Polychrome and just clears that 50-pull budget. Two 6,480 packs land 16,160 Monochrome for RM 858, comfortably above the 90-pull ceiling with roughly 1,760 Polychrome of headroom for W-Engine banner cleanup. A first-time double on the same 6,480 tier lands 14,560 Monochrome on a single order and drags the effective cost per Polychrome down to about 2.95 sen. That is the single most efficient move on the ladder if you have never bought this tier before.
Common ZZZ Monochrome questions from Malaysian players
Which Monochrome pack is the outright best value?
The 6,480 + 1,600 tier at RM 429. It works out to 5.31 sen per Monochrome on a repeat purchase and 2.95 sen on your first-ever buy of that tier. No other pack beats it, and the second-place 3,280 tier is 5.8% more expensive per unit.
Does the first-time double bonus stack with direct-UID top-ups?
Yes. The first-time double is applied by HoYoverse against your ZZZ account, not by the retailer, so any legitimate UID top-up route triggers it once per denomination. Order the 6,480 pack from a Malaysian ringgit-native retailer and the same 6,480 bonus Monochrome lands in your account as it would on the App Store, minus the roughly RM 90.90 markup.
Is REDX Game safe for HoYoverse UID top-ups?
REDX Game is a Malaysian retailer that settles in ringgit through local rails such as DuitNow QR, FPX, TNG eWallet and Boost, and delivers direct to your ZZZ UID in an advertised 1–3 minutes. Direct-UID means no gift-card codes to enter and no chance of a wrongly-regioned voucher, which is a common pain point when buying through overseas marketplaces.
Can I switch to the 3,280 pack if I only need one Claret copy?
Sensible move. A single 3,280 + 600 tier delivers 3,880 Monochrome for RM 218 and covers roughly 24 Signal Searches, more than enough for a bit of Standard banner rotation while you save Polychrome for the 50-pull run. Stack it with even a small in-game Polychrome buffer and you avoid the RM 429 outlay entirely.
When does Roxy's banner start and does it change the math?
Roxy's Cindernight Respite Phase 2 opens on 30 September 2026 and runs alongside Promeia's rerun, Cold Rain Wanes in the Night, until 20 October 2026. The Monochrome ladder itself does not change between phases, so a top-up planned for Claret carries over cleanly for Roxy if the first pull runs short.
Where the sen quietly leaks
Three habits eat into the ranked value above, and Malaysian players trip over all of them.
- Buying the 300 pack five times instead of one 1,980. Five 300 + 30 tiers land 1,650 Monochrome for RM 105. A single 1,980 + 260 pack lands 2,240 Monochrome for RM 138. That is 590 more Monochrome for a RM 33 lift — the RM 21 tier is a trap when repeated.
- Missing the first-time double. A repeat 6,480 purchase costs 5.31 sen per Monochrome; the first-time double lands the same tier at 2.95 sen per Monochrome. Skip it and you effectively hand HoYoverse an 80% overpayment for the exact same tier.
- Paying the App Store's regional markup on a "small" pack. Even the RM 21 tier hides an RM 3.90 loss on Apple's Malaysia store. Multiplied across a full pity chase, the leak crosses RM 90 quickly.
None of this is exotic advice. It is just ringgit-per-Monochrome math applied to a ladder most players top up on autopilot.
Playing Claret from KL, PJ and Johor Bahru — a local-first playbook
Malaysian ZZZ players cluster in KL, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, Penang and Johor Bahru, and the pull rush around a new S-Rank release lines up with MPL match nights on the same weekends. Between Selangor Red Giants matches on Astro eGG, the KL grind for Claret's Armorer builds is real — memang best when the Bloodmoon Rising banner lands on a Friday drop.
DuitNow QR through the Maybank2u or Touch 'n Go eWallet apps is the fastest MYR route for a REDX Game order: scan, confirm, and the Monochrome usually lands in the ZZZ mailbox before you have finished the coffee at Starbucks Mid Valley. Boost users get the same 1–3 minute delivery via FPX. Senang gila if you are already logged in.
HoYoverse itself frames the patch as a story beat: "Version 3.2 'Their Secret Histories' Is Now Live!" reads the official ZZZ homepage banner as of 24 September 2026. For a Malaysian pull budget, that turns the ranking above into a real deadline: the Bloodmoon Rising Signal Search closes at server reset on 30 September, roughly a week from today. Boleh tahan.
The full Zenless Zone Zero top-up ladder stays in ringgit from the first tier to the 6,480 pack, and the ranking above stays valid until HoYoverse next changes the base Monochrome allocation. See you in New Eridu.
