Welfare Overflow! Get New 5★ Character + Costume for Free! Complete Welfare Analysis of ZZZ V2.5

Core Welfare Focus: Free S-Rank Character + Zero-Cost Costume

The highlight of this version's welfare is the free S-Rank Defense Character "Zhao". After Version 2.5 updates, logging in grants direct access to Zhao, along with a supply pack to level her up to Lv.40 (including all breakthrough and skill-up materials), allowing quick integration into teams without extra resource investment.

As an Ice Attribute Defender, Zhao excels as a newbie-friendly unit: she provides stable team buffs via Frost Value accumulation and heals teammates by sacrificing her own HP, proving crucial in both farming and high-difficulty dungeons.

Additionally, popular character Jane Doe's new costume is available for free for a limited time. It will be listed in the in-game mall with a permanent 100% discount, making it cost-free to claim — a must-grab for Jane fans!

To celebrate the game winning the Sony PS Award, all players logging in after 12:00 on January 1st will receive 1000 Filen (equivalent to nearly 10 free gacha pulls), easing gacha pressure.

Multiple Resource Welfare

Version 2.5 also offers diverse resource welfare, covering full-cycle development and gacha needs from pre-registration to daily check-ins. Pre-registration on the official event page instantly grants 160 Filen, with an additional 160 Filen via in-game mail post-update (total 320 Filen).

In-game check-ins are equally rewarding: 7 consecutive logins yield 480 Filen. Traditional version welfare events return as well: 10 Encrypted Master Tapes (Character Gacha Tickets) via 7-day check-in, and 10 Bongbu Tickets (Bongbu Gacha Items) post-January 21st, totaling 20 free pulls to target desired characters and Bongbu.

Gacha Mechanism Innovation: First 10-Pull 20% Off + Guaranteed No Wrong Pull

Version 2.5's gacha mechanism is highly player-friendly, featuring new character UP pools and optimized rerun pools. The first half launches simultaneous exclusive UP pools for new character Ye Shunguang (S-Rank · Cold Blade · Assault) and Teru, covering the entire major version.

The second half's rerun pools are particularly generous: high-popularity S-Rank characters Alice, No.0 Amby, and Yao Jiayin return. Players can select one as the targeted UP character, enjoy 20% off the first 10-pull Tuning, and get a "first S-Rank guaranteed" for the selected Agent and Echo, eliminating wrong pulls entirely.

This is an ideal opportunity for old players to补上 missed characters and new players to strengthen teams. High-strength characters like Yao Jiayin and No.0 Amby remain viable in current meta post-rerun.

A cumulative recharge event runs concurrently: purchasing cash products (recharges, Rope Net Membership, New Eridu Recruitment) earns "Commemorative Stubs". Accumulating enough unlocks rewards like 9-choice-1 S-Rank Agent/Echo, dynamic business cards, and limited accessories, catering to paying players of all levels.

Old Character Strengthening, Experience Upgrade

Version 2.5's sincerity also lies in gaming experience optimizations. No.11, Bernice, and Grace receive stat and mechanism buffs; a Potential System is added to Ellen, No.0 Amby, and 3 others, boosting strength and unlocking exclusive visuals, revitalizing old characters for mainstream play.

A large-scale social system is introduced: players can create/join outposts, exchange gacha tips, and post commissions for exclusive rewards, filling the social gap and connecting like-minded players.

With free S-Rank characters, zero-cost costumes, abundant gacha resources, player-friendly gacha mechanisms, and comprehensive optimizations, Version 2.5 delivers an overflowing welfare feast. Log in promptly after December 30th to claim all rewards — whether a new adventurer or returning Rope Craftsman, you'll enjoy an excellent experience. Pre-register now to prepare for this welfare celebration!
