DuitNow QR Plan for ZZZ 3.1: Sigrid Pulls, KL Jul 29
Published: 2026-06-30
The Zenless Zone Zero 3.1 Special Program is locked for early July, the patch itself drops 29 July 2026, and the version banner brings Sigrid de L'Azur, the S-Rank Ice Attack Deputy Director of Airspace Patrol, alongside Remielle Dan, the first-gen Voidhunter Ether Anomaly agent. ZZZ's Steam debut on 17 June peaked at 15,235 concurrent players and pulled ~90% Very Positive on its first 1,325 reviews. For Malaysian players stockpiling Polychromes before the 2nd anniversary, the cheapest rail in MYR right now is DuitNow QR through REDX Game, and the math below shows why.
ZZZ 3.1 Drops Jul 29: What Sigrid and Remielle Add
Sigrid headlines Phase 1 as an S-Rank Ice Attack agent built for staggered openers. The kit chains off Anomaly buildup, which makes the Remielle Dan Ether pairing in the same patch an obvious dual-banner stockpile target. Remielle is a Voidhunter Ether Sub-DPS, the first of her generation, and that scarcity matters. Voidhunter agents have been rare since 2.0, and the constellation copies will move faster than the Phase 2 reruns.
Norma Hollowell, the S-Rank Fire Stun debut from 3.0, closes out Phase 2 on 28 July alongside a Sunna rerun, which means anyone still holding wishes from the Velina cycle has roughly three weeks to top up before the 3.1 split-banner pressure begins in earnest. Pyrois remains the 3.0 standard standout, and the Version 3.0 patch notes also confirm Roscaelifer as the new traversal hub and Wind as the freshly-added attribute, which is the structural ceiling Sigrid's Ice kit will scale against once 3.1 lands at the end of July.
One scheduling detail worth flagging for KL grinders before the anniversary actually hits: HoYoverse pushes anniversary mail at server reset on the patch day, and Asia-server reset lands at 04:00 MYT, so topping up the night before means the Polychromes are already in your inventory when the mail Polychromes stack on top. There is no benefit to topping up after the reset, since the mail values are unconditional and arrive regardless of your balance at the moment the server flips. Senang gila to plan for, easy to forget the night-of.
What 3.0 Phase 2 and the Steam Launch Mean for Malaysian Polychrome Buyers
The 17 June Steam launch quietly changed the top-up question for Malaysians. ZZZ now supports full cross-progression between Steam, mobile, PS5, and HoYoPlay tied to one HoYoverse ID. The Polychromes you buy through any rail land on the same account. So the choice collapses to one question. Which rail prices Polychromes cheapest in MYR?
"All ZZZ players can use one HoYoverse Account across the entire HoYoverse ecosystem (HoYoPlay, mobile, PlayStation, and Steam), and your data, progress, and purchases follow the account." (HoYoverse, official 3.0 Steam launch notice, 17 June 2026)
Apple's MY App Store still pads in-app purchases by 17 to 23% versus a third-party MYR rail, and Google Play MY runs a similar gap, while the Steam launch surfaced this further because Steam Wallet MYR top-ups also carry their own Razer Gold conversion layer that eats into the perceived discount. None of that beats a direct UID top-up paid via DuitNow QR, a zero-fee personal-account rail on every Malaysian bank including Maybank2u, CIMB Clicks, RHB, Public Bank, Bank Islam, and HLB Connect, all routed through PayNet without the markups stacked at the storefront layer.
Patch impact on Polychrome spend is concrete. 3.0 introduced one new Bangboo (Ultra Jake), three S-Rank W-Engines (Joyau Doré, Chief Sidekick, Sol Exuvia), and a full new map zone. Players running Sunna or Velina copies need around 12,000 Polychromes to hit 90-pull pity safety with reasonable margin. The Phase 2 Norma plus the 3.1 Sigrid and Remielle dual-banner pushes the rolling budget closer to 32,000 Polychromes if both 3.1 banners are on the table. Boleh tahan if you have been saving since 2.x, but most Malaysian players will need at least one mid-tier top-up.
There is no ZZZ MPL or Garena-run tournament in Malaysia, and Selangor Red Giants and Team SMG compete in MLBB rather than ZZZ, so the spend pattern here is purely account-side with no esports prize money to chase and no roster bonuses to factor into the budget you set for Sigrid and Remielle. Just the banner pull math, scaled to how many wishes your KL or Penang group needs to land their target copies.
Polychrome Cost in MYR via DuitNow QR vs Apple App Store
The MYR ladder for ZZZ Polychromes through REDX Game paid via DuitNow QR maps as follows, with zero processing fee. Apple App Store MY prices in the right column are from the live iOS in-app menu as of late June 2026.
TierPolychromes (base + first-buy)REDX (MYR, DuitNow QR)Apple App Store MY (MYR)iOS gapsen/Polychrome (first buy)
160 + 60RM 4.20RM 4.99+18.8%3.50
2300 + 30RM 20.90RM 24.90+19.1%6.33
3980 + 110RM 67.90RM 79.90+17.7%6.23
41980 + 260RM 134.90RM 158.90+17.8%6.02
53280 + 600RM 219.90RM 264.90+20.5%5.67
66480 + 1600RM 429.90RM 529.90+23.3%5.32
The interesting line is Tier 5. Tier 6 looks like the obvious bulk pick at 5.32 sen/Polychrome, but the first-buy bonus only triggers once per tier per ZZZ account version. For a player who already burned their Tier 6 bonus during the 3.0 launch window, sen/Polychrome drops to roughly 6.63 sen on the refill. That flips the math, and Tier 5 becomes the actual sweet spot at around 6.71 sen post-bonus versus Tier 6's 6.63 sen, with an RM 220 ceiling that is friendlier to MY budgets than RM 430.
Practical anniversary stockpile: RM 50 at REDX Game pulls 330 Polychromes (first buy), while RM 65 on Apple App Store pulls 310 Polychromes, before factoring the iOS gap on repeat purchases. Pair one Tier 5 with one Tier 3 refill and you land around 4,370 Polychromes for RM 287.80, roughly 27 wishes plus a 700-Polychrome buffer. Murah giler compared to the RM 343 the same volume costs through the App Store.
One DuitNow QR note worth keeping in mind during a busy banner cycle: most Malaysian banks process the QR scan in under 8 seconds end-to-end, and REDX Game's delivery quote of 1 to 3 minutes covers the UID-to-account hand-off after payment clears, which together puts the realistic worst-case at around three and a half minutes from QR scan to Polychromes in your inbox. Tak perlu tunggu lama if you queue the top-up while the Special Program stream is still loading.
How to Top Up ZZZ in 60 Seconds with DuitNow QR at REDX Game
- Open your HoYoverse ID in ZZZ, then Profile, then copy the 9-digit UID and note the server (America / Europe / Asia / TW-HK-MO). Asia is the default for Malaysian accounts created via HoYoverse SEA.
- Go to REDX Game's ZZZ top-up page, paste the UID, pick your Polychrome tier (Tier 5 is the post-bonus sweet spot from the table above).
- Select DuitNow QR at checkout. A QR code renders on screen.
- Open any MY banking app such as Maybank2u, CIMB Clicks, Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay, Bank Islam, HLB Connect, or Public Bank, and scan the QR. Confirm the MYR amount. Zero processing fee.
- Wait 1 to 3 minutes. The automated rail pushes Polychromes to your UID. You will see them in your in-game mail within 60 seconds in most cases, sometimes instant.
If the Polychromes have not landed after 5 minutes, the support contact form on the order page is staffed during MYT business hours. The flow is the same whether you grind from Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, or Johor Bahru, since this is a direct UID rail and not a Google Play voucher with regional restrictions.
ZZZ DuitNow QR FAQ: Sigrid Pulls, Steam Cross-Save, KL Anniversary
Do Polychromes bought via DuitNow QR work on my Steam ZZZ account?
Yes. Since the 17 June Steam launch ZZZ uses cross-progression on a single HoYoverse ID across Steam, mobile, PS5, and HoYoPlay, and the Polychromes land on the HoYoverse ID rather than the storefront, so a DuitNow QR top-up paid from a phone in KL pulls the exact same currency balance you would see logging into ZZZ on a Steam client from a desktop in Penang or Johor Bahru that evening.
How many Polychromes do I need to guarantee Sigrid on the 3.1 banner?
Hard pity on a featured S-Rank is 90 pulls, and the 50/50 mechanic means a true worst case is 180 pulls before the guaranteed featured copy lands. At 160 Polychromes per wish, that works out to 14,400 Polychromes for the soft-pity safety zone around 75 pulls and 28,800 Polychromes for a full hard-pity ceiling, which translates to one Tier 5 top-up at REDX Game for most Malaysian players who entered the cycle with even a moderate 2.x Polychrome reserve. Holders coming in lean will want to pair Tier 5 with a Tier 3 refill for cushion.
Is REDX Game's MYR pricing really cheaper than Apple's App Store?
Yes, by 17 to 23% across tiers based on the late-June 2026 ladder. Tier 6 carries the widest gap at +23.3%, with RM 429.90 at REDX Game versus RM 529.90 on App Store MY for the same 8,080 Polychromes post-bonus. The iOS gap exists because Apple imposes a uniform IAP markup, and the third-party rail does not.
Does DuitNow QR cost anything?
No. DuitNow QR transfers from personal MY bank accounts and eWallets to merchants carry zero processing fee, while FPX adds around RM 0.50 per transaction, so over a year of bi-weekly anniversary stockpile runs the rail choice alone saves around RM 13 that goes straight back into Polychrome budget rather than payment friction. Small per-trip, real on the annual rollup.
Will I get the 2nd anniversary mail if I top up after the patch drops?
The mail is server-side and unconditional for any HoYoverse ID with an Inter-Knot character file on the Asia server at the 04:00 MYT reset on 29 July 2026. Topping up the night before, say the evening of 28 July from KL, guarantees your Polychrome balance is loaded before the mail Polychromes stack on top.
Can I combine REDX Game DuitNow QR with the Inter-Knot Membership monthly?
Yes. The Inter-Knot Membership is a separate SKU on the same order page and ships 300 Polychromes immediately plus 2,700 Encrypted Master Tapes spread evenly across 30 days, which slots cleanly next to a one-shot Tier 5 Polychrome purchase without consuming any of your first-buy bonus tiers and without changing your DuitNow QR rail. Memang best for slow grinders in Shah Alam, Ipoh, or Kuching who want a steady drip rather than one bulk pull session at month-end.
