ZZZ Sigrid Banner Malaysia Time: Version 3.1 Phase 2 Countdown
Published: 2026-08-11
Version 3.1 Phase 2 Lands in Malaysia on 19 August 2026
The Rescreening Signal Search and Sigrid's "Till the Ends of the Sky" both flip live in Phase 2 of Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.1, running 19 August 2026 through 8 September 2026 in Malaysia. Mark the Asia-server changeover, which falls inside the morning MYT (GMT+8) maintenance window; watch your in-game banner timer for the exact minute. Version 3.1, HoYoverse's second-anniversary patch for the game, went live 29 July with 1,600 free Polychromes, a free S-rank Agent selector, and 30 livestream pulls already banked. Phase 1 (Remielle debut, Aria first rerun) closes the same day Sigrid arrives.
For Malaysian players, the practical read is short: 21 days of window, two limited banners running in parallel, and the fattest free-reward stack HoYoverse has ever pushed for this game. Skip the second-account experiments and plan your Monochrome runway before the phase flip.
Sigrid at a Glance: Ice DPS, Lance, Airspace Patrol Deputy
Sigrid de L'Azur is Zenless Zone Zero's fifth-generation Deputy Administrative Director of the Airspace Patrol Department. Per Game8's Sigrid banner page, "Sigrid's Debut Banner will run alongside the Exclusive Rescreening Rerun Banner from August 19 until September 8, 2026." She is an S-rank Ice Attack hyper-carry built around Pierce damage and a lance-based "Aerial Patrol Spear Form" that triggers off Unbridled Spear hits and boosts crit rate on hold-Basic combos. She rewards short, sharp burst windows over sustained ticks, a different rhythm from summer's Physical carries.
Her rate-up stack is unusually generous. Sigrid's signal has a 50% chance for her on the first S-rank pull; miss it and the next S-rank is guaranteed hers. The Exclusive Rescreening Signal Search running alongside lets Malaysian pullers hand-pick one of Dialyn, Ukinami Yuzuha, or Asaba Harumasa as the featured S-rank. Two anniversary bundles stacked into one three-week window.
Polychrome Math: How Much for a Guaranteed Sigrid?
Sigrid's exclusive signal follows the standard 90-pull soft pity and hard pity for the featured S-rank, at 160 Polychromes per Encrypted Master Tape. Worst-case pity for a guaranteed Sigrid, after losing the initial 50/50 once, sits at roughly 160 pulls or 25,600 Polychromes. That is a lot of Master Tapes. Anniversary drops soften the bill: 1,600 free Polychromes, plus 30 livestream pulls, plus 20 daily-check-in Encrypted Master Tapes shave a full mid-tier bundle off the total. The redemption code ZZZ2YEAR (still live at time of writing) adds a small extra.
Now the ringgit angle. The 980 Monochrome pack (1,090 with the first-time bonus) lists at USD 14.99, which lands around RM 74–79 on Apple App Store Malaysia after currency conversion and SST. REDX Game charges the equivalent in MYR direct-debit through DuitNow, Boost, or Touch 'n Go eWallet, so what you see on the invoice is what you pay, with no hidden FX spread from a US-billed Apple ID. Malaysian gacha stackers who reload before Phase 2 tend to convert once at RM prices rather than piecemeal on the App Store.
FAQ: Sigrid Banner Timing for Malaysia
When does Sigrid's banner start and end in Malaysia?
19 August 2026 to 8 September 2026, MYT (GMT+8). The Asia-server phase transition typically falls in the morning MYT window on changeover day. Always check your in-game countdown for the exact minute.
Is Sigrid worth pulling for Malaysian players who mainly play Ice teams?
She is a current top-tier Ice Attack carry per Game8's build guide. If your account already runs Ice supports and stunners, Sigrid slots in cleanly. Accounts with a thin Ice bench should consider using the Rescreening Selector on Yuzuha or Harumasa instead.
What is the Rescreening Signal Search?
It is a parallel Phase 2 banner that lets you pick one of three past S-ranks (Dialyn, Ukinami Yuzuha, or Asaba Harumasa) as the featured rate-up. The pool of Encrypted Master Tapes is shared with Sigrid's banner, so budget your pulls carefully across both.
Can I still claim the anniversary rewards during Phase 2?
Yes. The 1,600 free Polychromes, S-rank selector, and 30 livestream pulls persist through Version 3.1. Login-based rewards typically expire at the version's end, which currently runs through Sigrid's window.
Does the redemption code ZZZ2YEAR still work?
HoYoverse anniversary codes have a short shelf life, usually a few weeks. Redeem early through the official HoYoverse gift portal. If it has expired, watch livestream broadcasts for fresh codes.
Where can Malaysians top up Monochrome in MYR without an App Store markup?
REDX Game lists Zenless Zone Zero top-ups in ringgit and delivers to your HoYo account, usually inside 1–3 minutes after payment via DuitNow, Boost, or Touch 'n Go.
Malaysian Pull Habits: Timing, Tax, and Team Comps
Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya HoYoverse groups tend to schedule "pull nights" right after work on changeover days, between 8 and 11 PM MYT, because streaming servers in KL are quieter and Wi-Fi latency to the Asia gateway is lowest then. Boleh tahan, the 20-pull warm-up before pity, is a common ritual on Malaysian gacha Discords. From Penang or Kuching, add a couple of extra seconds of animation buffer for peninsula-vs-East-Malaysia routing.
Malaysian esports orgs like Team SMG and TODAK draw most of their oxygen from MPL, but their content creators dip into HoYoverse titles between matchdays, and Sigrid's lance-based flair has already sparked plenty of KL-based clip reactions. If you split time between MLBB scrims and ZZZ pulls, REDX Game keeps both games' top-ups on a single MYR invoice.
Top Up Monochrome Before Phase 2 (5 Steps)
- Grab your HoYoverse UID. Open Zenless Zone Zero, tap your profile avatar, and copy the 9-digit UID under your handle. That is what REDX Game uses to route Monochrome to your account.
- Pick your Monochrome pack. Head to REDX Game's ZZZ page and choose the pack that clears the Sigrid pity gap you calculated above. Larger packs give better value per RM.
- Enter your server and UID. Pick the Asia server (Malaysia routes there) and paste your UID. Double-check the digits carefully. A typo sends Monochrome to a stranger's account.
- Pay in MYR. DuitNow QR, Boost, Touch 'n Go, FPX bank transfer, or card. Every option charges in ringgit, so no App Store FX spread.
- Wait 1 to 3 minutes. REDX Game's advertised turnaround is 1–3 minutes. Your Monochrome balance updates inside ZZZ, and you can then pull on Sigrid's banner from 19 August onwards. Senang gila.
One closing note before Phase 2 goes live: HoYoverse's monthly Inter-Knot Membership (USD 4.99, roughly RM 24 on App Store) pays out 90 Monochrome upfront and 3,000 Polychromes over 30 days. If you plan to pull on both Sigrid and the Rescreening banner, that subscription plus one RM 74-ish Monochrome pack from REDX Game roughly covers the anniversary boost's assumed spend. Memang best, if the math works for your account.
