ZZZ 3.2 Malaysia Time: Claret & Roxy Banner Dates
Published: 2026-09-11
Wednesday 9 September 2026, 06:00 MYT. HoYoverse rolled out Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.2 "Their Secret Histories" maintenance on the dot, and by 11:00 MYT Malaysian Proxies were back in New Eridu with 300 free Polychromes waiting in the mail. Every HoYoverse title runs on China server time (UTC+8). That clock is exactly Malaysia Time. So every banner date below reads the same on a KL clock as it does inside the game. Phase 1 with Claret closes 30 September MYT. Then Roxy takes over until roughly 20 October MYT. Here is the calendar, the pull math, and the Malaysian ringgit numbers on the Polychrome ladder, priced against the App Store using REDX Game direct top-up.
Full banner calendar in MYT, nothing to convert
Phase 1 opened at 11:00 MYT on 9 September. It stays live until 30 September, 15:59 MYT, when a shorter maintenance rolls Phase 2. Two Exclusive Channels run in parallel each phase. A Malaysian player who banked crystals across 3.1 can double-dip on a Flint Workshop debut or on a rerun.
- Phase 1 (9 Sept 11:00 MYT to 30 Sept 15:59 MYT): Claret "Bloodmoon Rising," the new S-Rank Electric Armorer, plus a Nangong Yu rerun.
- Second half (30 Sept ~19:00 MYT to 20 Oct 03:59 MYT): Roxy "Cindernight Respite," the new S-Rank Wind Stun, plus a Promeia rerun.
- W-Engine channels: mirror each Agent phase and share the same soft-pity pool as their limited runs, so no wasted pulls.
Save the 30 September changeover. Phase 2 maintenance runs about four hours. A KLCC lunch-break pull is safer after 19:00 MYT than before 15:00 MYT.
Armorer specialty, and why Claret changes the meta
Claret debuts a brand-new Agent Specialty called Armorer. On GosuGamers' 3.2 deep-dive, the mechanic is described as building "'Gash' stacks (max 3)" that convert to Maim, so multi-critical hits keep landing even after CRIT Rate crosses 100%. Two consequences fall out for teambuilding. Claret scales off DEF instead of ATK, so Iron discs and DEF% substats jump in value. Once she caps her Maim window, extra CRIT Rate keeps compounding. No existing ZZZ Agent offers that curve.
Roxy is the more conventional pick. She is a Wind Stun Agent whose EX Special "creates a mobile tornado that can be moved around the battlefield while gathering enemies," building Wind Energy for follow-ups. For a Malaysian Proxy still learning off-field DPS rotations, Roxy is the safer half of the Flint Workshop pair. Kit and role are legible from the first fight.
Which Flint Workshop half to grab first, honest read
Push players deserve Claret in Phase 1. If your endgame is Hollow Zero leaderboards or Endless Tower speedruns, the Armorer specialty rewards DEF stacking and multi-critical past 100 percent. A hard-cap crit disc set she runs solo can scale beyond the Nangong Yu Anomaly comp that carried 3.0 and 3.1. Pull her while your 3.1 soft pity still counts. The Malaysian community leaderboards on Endless Tower have leaned on Nangong Yu Anomaly comps since 3.0, and the honest question worth asking this cycle is whether Claret's Armorer specialty can push past that ceiling in mono-team runs where DEF scaling and the multi-critical window overlap on longer boss rotations.
Casual Proxies should wait. If your endgame is Deadly Assault and the Withering Garden weekly, Roxy plus Promeia in Phase 2 is a cleaner off-field-plus-Anomaly duo without the Armorer learning curve. Nangong Yu already banked value at her launch, so a rerun without a signature W-Engine is a lower priority. Boleh tahan either way. The six-week span means one soft-guarantee run is realistic for a disciplined free-to-play grinder across the full 3.2 cycle.
Polychrome ringgit math, REDX Game vs the App Store
Malaysian Proxies pay in MYR on the Apple App Store. The standard HoYoverse 300+30 Monochrome pack sits at RM 24.99 there. REDX Game runs that same tier for RM 19.00 flat, a RM 5.99 gap per refill with credit landing in the account inside 1 to 3 minutes. The bigger 1980+260 tier scales that gap further. Apple's App Store lists it at RM 149.99, and REDX Game's ZZZ direct top-up route lands the same pack at RM 119.00, a RM 30.99 delta per big refill. Five stacked 1980 packs across the two 3.2 phases save close to RM 155. That is one Grab Food weekly budget in Shah Alam, or a full Yut Kee kaya toast round for four at the KL branch.
"Version 3.2 comes with a compensation of a minimum of 300 polychrome for the maintenance downtime (if level 4+)."
That line, pulled from Pocket Tactics' 3.2 recap, matters because 300 free Polychromes is nearly two free pulls before you touch any refill. Stack it on top of the five patch events (Clink, Clank, Pinball Knight; Diary of an Orbie Parent; Chronicles of the Hobbling Crow; the HIA virtual combat trial; the 14-day login mail). A disciplined Malaysian F2P can grind around 60 pulls across the two phases without opening the shop. Memang best for a launch patch.
FAQ, banner questions Malaysian Proxies keep asking
What time does ZZZ 3.2 go live in Malaysia?
Maintenance began at 06:00 MYT on 9 September 2026. Servers returned around 11:00 MYT the same day. HoYoverse uses China server time (UTC+8), identical to Malaysia Time, so official countdowns already read as your local clock.
When does Claret's Bloodmoon Rising banner end for Malaysian players?
30 September 2026, 15:59 MYT. Phase 2 opens the same evening after a short maintenance, usually around 19:00 MYT.
Is Claret worth pulling before Roxy?
For Hollow Zero and Endless Tower push players, yes. Armorer's multi-critical past 100 percent and DEF scaling reset team-comp math. For casual Malaysian Proxies leaning on Assault & Retire, Roxy plus Promeia in Phase 2 is the cleaner value package.
How much cheaper is topping up ZZZ through REDX Game vs the App Store?
Around RM 5.99 on the 300+30 Polychrome pack, and about RM 31 on the 1980+260 pack. Five stacked 1980 refills across the 3.2 cycle come out roughly RM 155 lighter than Apple pricing, with delivery in 1 to 3 minutes.
Do the 300 free Polychromes reach every Malaysian Proxy?
No. Only Proxies who reached Inter-Knot Level 4 before maintenance on 8 September received the 300-Polychrome mail. Everyone else picks up the standard rewards from the 14-day login and the patch events.
Local tips for Malaysian Proxies
Klang Valley home fibre handles the 6 to 8 GB 3.2 patch download in about 20 minutes on TM Unifi 500 Mbps. On a slower Streamyx 30 Mbps line in Ipoh or Kuching, cache the download overnight before the 9 September window rather than fighting maintenance-day congestion. Petaling Jaya and Shah Alam Proxies pulling on the sly at Bangsar mamak sessions should note that the 30 September Phase 2 changeover falls on a Wednesday. Plan the Claret last-call pulls before your MRT ride home from KLCC. Senang gila, and the RM 31 ringgit gap on a single 1980 pack routed through REDX Game pays for a Yut Kee kaya toast set in KL. Twice, with kopi. Across the six weeks of the 3.2 cycle, a Malaysian Proxy who commits to Claret in Phase 1 and Roxy in Phase 2 will roll through roughly ten to twelve tier-up refills, and those ringgit gaps compound into real teh-tarik money at any Cheras mamak that keeps its lights on past the last MRT run from Kajang.
