ZZZ City Fund 2026: Growth lawan Premium di Malaysia — Nilai Terbaik
Published: 2026-10-02
Verdict: Growth Plan Wins on Ringgit, Premium Only If You Finish the Pass
For most Malaysian Proxies pulling once a patch and clearing their weeklies on autopilot, the Growth Plan at around RM 46 is the smarter buy by a clear margin. The Premium step-up costs roughly RM 48 more and hands you only 208 extra Polychrome plus a Resonating Core, a W-Engine Microcontroller, and two cosmetic sets you may never equip. If you miss five weekly resets a season — easy during Raya week or finals — you leave half of that value on the table. Buy the Growth Plan at REDX Game and skip Apple's foreign-exchange tax while you decide.
The current City Fund runs through 19 October 2026 under Version 3.2 "Their Secret Histories", HoYoverse's own patch announcement states. That window matters because the pass resets with every version, so a dithering upgrade becomes a wasted upgrade.
Cost Math: Where Your Ringgit Actually Lands
The Growth Plan is listed at USD 9.99 and the Premium Plan at USD 19.99 for first-time buyers (renewals bump Premium to USD 21.99). Convert through the Malaysian App Store and you pay roughly RM 46 and RM 94 respectively, before Apple's cut. Top up through REDX Game in ringgit and you dodge both the FX markup and the Apple tier bump.
Here is what matters per Polychrome:
- Growth Plan, RM 46 → 680 Polychrome upfront plus a season-long premium reward track. That is RM 0.068 per Polychrome before you count any track rewards.
- Premium Plan, RM 94 → 888 Polychrome upfront plus 10 City Fund levels, a Resonating Core, a W-Engine Microcontroller Unit, Ether Batteries, menu theme, pendant, avatar, namecard.
- The upgrade delta: RM 48 for 208 extra Polychrome works out to RM 0.231 per Polychrome.
That delta is three times the Growth Plan's rate. Read that again. The ten pre-skipped levels, the W-Engine Microcontroller, and the Resonating Core carry the rest of the value. If you were going to grind the pass out anyway, those ten levels save around two weeks of weekly challenges. Skip the upgrade when you are not, because the Premium Plan is a cosmetics pack with a Polychrome garnish.
A quick benchmark against the direct Monochrome tiers you already see in-game: the 980 Monochrome bundle lists at about RM 61 in Malaysia, so RM 0.062 per Polychrome. Growth Plan sits in the same ringgit neighbourhood as that 980 bundle while adding the whole 50-level reward track, which is the honest reason most mid-spending Proxies in Petaling Jaya and Johor Bahru pick it over a cold Monochrome refill every patch cycle.
Who Should Buy Which Plan
Growth Plan buyers get the best deal when they:
- Log in daily and clear weeklies — the reward track pays out over the full 40–42 day window.
- Pull mainly for one limited Agent each patch, not two.
- Have already spent on the Inter-Knot Membership and want extra pulls without doubling monthly outlay.
- Treat ZZZ as a 40-day commitment rather than a weekend dip-in during exam week.
Premium is only honest value for Proxies who:
- Finish every City Fund season to level 50 without fail.
- Care about the exclusive Menu Theme and Pendant for roleplay / collection reasons.
- Want the Resonating Core to speed up a specific W-Engine level grind this patch.
Skip both plans if you are an F2P tourist dipping in for the story. The Trigger free trial and daily commissions already cover the main quest. No shame in that call. Memang best kalau tak bazir duit awal.
News React: Patch 3.2 Changed the Reward Math a Little
Version 3.2 "Their Secret Histories" went live on 9 September 2026. HoYoverse published the compensation and content list in their official 3.2 announcement, where the City Fund Growth Plan rolled over with a new "Where the Waves Begin" avatar. The Polychrome payout stayed at 680 Growth / 888 Premium, the structure Zenless Zone Zero's social team confirmed on X on 11 September 2026, listing the Growth tier as "Polychrome ×680 and the exclusive avatar Where the Waves Begin" and the Premium tier as that same bundle plus 208 Polychrome, cosmetics, and the W-Engine Microcontroller Unit.
Practical read for Malaysian Proxies tracking the ringgit math between cycles: nothing in the Growth-versus-Premium delta changed this cycle, so the same verdict carries over. Any Proxy who held off during Patch 3.1 waiting for a better Premium drop should notice that 3.2 is not that drop. Buy Growth, pocket the ringgit difference, and reassess when 3.3 lands around mid-October 2026.
Buying from Kuala Lumpur: The DuitNow Path at REDX Game
The route most Malaysian Proxies miss costs them real money. Routing through the Apple App Store MY converts your dollars at Apple's foreign-exchange rate and lands you on fixed MYR tiers that round upward. The RM 46 Growth Plan tier would be closer to RM 42 at a clean USD-to-MYR conversion, so Apple pockets around RM 4 per transaction before HoYoverse ever sees your money.
A Kuala Lumpur Proxy can route the same purchase through REDX Game's ZZZ direct top-up and pay in ringgit directly, without ever touching an iTunes gift card balance or an FX rate. DuitNow QR clears in under a minute from Maybank, CIMB, or Public Bank, and the Polychrome lands in-game within the advertised 1–3 minute window. Malaysia's gacha crowd, which runs deeper than MLBB headlines around Selangor Red Giants would suggest, has quietly carried REDX Game through its HoYoverse SKUs since launch, and the Shah Alam campus players who call it "senang gila" are the loudest proof of that. Boost eWallet and TNG eWallet work the same way, with FPX as the backup if your bank app is being moody.
One warning: REDX Game ships Monochrome packs, not the City Fund directly, through its ZZZ top-up. The playbook most locals use is to buy a 980 Monochrome bundle in ringgit, then trigger the City Fund activation in-game using the Polychrome balance. That keeps the ringgit price fixed and avoids the Apple tier.
Is the New Eridu City Fund worth it in Malaysia 2026?
Growth Plan yes, Premium only for season-long completionists. The RM 48 gap between tiers buys 208 Polychrome and cosmetics, not raw pulls.
Berapa harga Growth Plan dan Premium Plan City Fund?
Growth Plan sekitar RM 46 (USD 9.99). Premium Plan sekitar RM 94 (USD 19.99 untuk pembelian pertama, naik ke USD 21.99 selepas itu). Harga di REDX Game dalam ringgit terus, tiada caj FX.
How many Polychrome does the City Fund give?
Growth Plan gives 680 Polychrome upfront. Premium Plan gives 888 upfront, which is the Growth 680 plus 208 extra, and then layers on 10 pre-skipped City Fund levels, a Resonating Core, a W-Engine Microcontroller Unit, Ether Batteries, and a two-piece cosmetic set that changes with every patch cycle.
Can I upgrade from Growth to Premium later?
Yes. Upgrading mid-season costs USD 11.99 (USD 9.99 for the first upgrade of the account). The upgrade carries over any City Fund level progress already earned. Nothing resets. There is no penalty.
When does the current City Fund end?
Version 3.2's City Fund closes on 19 October 2026, so a buyer who activates the Growth Plan on 1 October still has around 18 days of weekly resets to clear the full 50-level track without rushing. The 3.3 cycle begins straight after the patch update, which runs on a six-week cadence per Zenless Zone Zero's standard release schedule.
Boleh guna DuitNow untuk beli di REDX Game?
Ya, memang boleh. REDX Game terima DuitNow QR, FPX, Boost eWallet dan TNG eWallet untuk top-up ZZZ. Polychrome masuk dalam 1–3 minit selepas bayaran clear.
