W-Engine Channel Signal Search Banner Guide in Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ)
Conduct Signal Searches to receive Limited-Time W-Engines in Zenless Zone Zero! Check out our W-Engine Channel Guide for a basic overview of the W-Engine Channel and its drop rates.
Signal Search: W-Engine Channel
The W-Engine Channel is a limited-time channel where players have a higher rate of obtaining specific A-Rank or Limited S-Rank Signals. The Signals with a higher Reception Rate are W-Engines. The limited S-Rank Signals are only available on a specific W-Engine Channel, so if players miss the limited-time period, they may try getting the limited S-Rank Signal again on its next Channel appearance.
Please Note: You cannot obtain any S-Rank Agents on the W-Engine Channel.
You can exchange 1 Encrypted Master Tape to conduct a Single Signal Search, or exchange 10 Encrypted Master Tape for 10 Signal Searches.
What is the Current W-Engine Channel Banner?
For Version 1.5, the current W-Engine Channel Banners are:
- The "Dissonant Sonata" Channel, featuring a new limited-time -Rank Signal: Elegant Vanity! This new W-Engine, specialized for Support Agents, is the signature W-Engine for Astra Yao.
- The "Dazzling Choir" Channel, featuring a returning limited-time -Rank Signal: Deep Sea Visitor! This W-Engine, specialized for Attack Agents, is the signature W-Engine for Ellen Joe.
Both W-Engine Channels feature the same rate-up -Rank Signals: Demara Battery Mark II and Housekeeper.
Please Note: Players cannot Signal Search Elegant Vanity on the "Dazzling Choir" Banner, nor Deep Sea Visitor on the "Dissonant Sonata" Banner.
What are the upcoming W-Engine Channel Banners?
In Version 1.5 Phase II, Zenless Zone Zero will feature a new limited-time -Rank W-Engine Heartstring Nocturne, as well as a returning limited-time -Rank W-Engine Ice-Jade Teapot, on separate Exclusive Channels. In addition, the featured -Rank Signals for both Channel Banners are Drill Rig - Red Axis and The Vault.
Please note: As with any future Channel Banners, current information is subject to change.
W-Engine Channel Pity and Gacha Rates
The W-Engine Channel increases the rate of the featured A-Rank and S-Rank W-Engines. Whenever you receive an A-Rank or S-Rank W-Engine, there is a 75% chance of recruiting the featured W-Engine on the Channel. If the player fails to receive the featured W-Engine, the following will occur:
- If the player received a Non-Featured Signal, it will be one of the Signals from the Stable Channel.
- Their next A-Rank or S-Rank W-Engine is guaranteed to be one of the featured on the W-Engine Channel.
The Signal Searches on the Exclusive Channel and W-Engine Channel are accumulated separately from each other. This means that you cannot use your Signal Searches from the Exclusive Channel to progress towards a Signal Guarantee on the W-Engine Channel, and vice versa. Based on the cumulative Signal Searches done on the W-Engine Channel, the game will provide the following bonuses listed below:
Number of Cumulative Searches | Search Bonus |
---|---|
10 | A-Rank or higher Signal guaranteed! |
80 | S-Rank Signal guaranteed! |
Please Note: the W-Engine Channel will provide a guaranteed S-Rank Signal at 80 Searches. It is highly advised that players save up the appropriate amount of Encrypted Master Tape. The maximum amount that players should save is 160 Encrypted Master Tape for the W-Engine Channel's limited-time S-Rank Signal.
If you receive an S-Rank Signal at any time, either before or at the guaranteed amount, your cumulative Searches for that specific Channel will reset back to 0. Your cumulative Searches and S-Rank Guarantee (if applicable) will carry over to the next respective Limited-Time Channel.
