A Proxy's Tale: Chasing Yuzuha and Miyabi in the Latest Signal Search
Zenless Zone Zero’s limited Agent W-Engine Signal Search event boosts elite Agents and W-Engines, offering Proxies rare power-ups.
The city of New Eridu never truly slept, and neither did the Proxy. On a night when hollow disturbances flickered across the skyline, a system-wide ping announced the arrival of a limited Agent W-Engine Signal Search event. The resonance rates for several elite Agents had been dramatically boosted, and the Proxy knew this was the kind of opportunity that did not wait. Yuzuha, the Physical Support specialist, and Hoshimi Miyabi, the Frost Anomaly swordswoman, were both within reach—along with their signature W-Engines. For any Proxy serious about clearing high-level commissions, this was the moment to strike.
The Exclusive Agent Channels: Whispered Tales and Honed Blade of Reflection
The event split its firepower across two distinct Exclusive Channels. The Whispered Tales channel featured the limited S-Rank Agent Yuzuha (Support - Physical) alongside two dependable A-Rank fighters: Piper (Anomaly - Physical) and Billy (Attack - Physical). Meanwhile, the Honed Blade of Reflection channel placed the limited S-Rank Agent Hoshimi Miyabi (Anomaly - Frost) in the spotlight, with the same A-Rank duo receiving boosted rates. The shared A-Rank pool meant that even if the Proxy's luck ran dry on the S-Rank pull, building up Piper or Billy remained a valuable consolation.
| Exclusive Channel | Limited S-Rank Agent | Boosted A-Rank Agents |
|---|---|---|
| Whispered Tales | Yuzuha (Support - Physical) | Piper (Anomaly - Physical), Billy (Attack - Physical) |
| Honed Blade of Reflection | Hoshimi Miyabi (Anomaly - Frost) | Piper (Anomaly - Physical), Billy (Attack - Physical) |
Important note: The limited S-Rank Agents from these channels would not appear in the Star-Studded Cast Stable Channel. Moreover, the guaranteed Signal count was cumulative across all Exclusive Channels but independent of other channel types. The Proxy had been tracking pity for weeks; now every pull in either exclusive channel nudged the counter closer to a guaranteed S-Rank.
The W-Engine Arsenal: Metanukimorphosis and Hailstorm Shrine
No Agent's potential was fully realized without the right W-Engine, and the event answered that call through two parallel W-Engine Channels. The Dissonant Sonata channel offered the limited S-Rank W-Engine Metanukimorphosis (Support), with boosted A-Rank W-Engines Roaring Ride (Anomaly) and Starlight Engine Replica (Attack). The Vibrant Resonance channel featured the limited S-Rank W-Engine Hailstorm Shrine (Anomaly) and the same two A-Rank W-Engines. As with the Agent channels, the guaranteed Signal count accumulated across all W-Engine Channels independently from other channel types.
| W-Engine Channel | Limited S-Rank W-Engine | Boosted A-Rank W-Engines |
|---|---|---|
| Dissonant Sonata | Metanukimorphosis (Support) | Roaring Ride (Anomaly), Starlight Engine Replica (Attack) |
| Vibrant Resonance | Hailstorm Shrine (Anomaly) | Roaring Ride (Anomaly), Starlight Engine Replica (Attack) |
Test Stage and Prologue Requirements
Before committing every last Signal, the Proxy took advantage of the test stages. To access them, a Proxy needed to reach Inter-Knot Lv. 8 and unlock the Event feature in the Main Story Prologue - Intermission. Once inside, the trial line-up included Yuzuha, Hoshimi Miyabi, Piper, and Billy. Clearing each stage for the first time granted rewards directly at the results screen. For A-Rank Agents whose training stages had already been completed previously, the corresponding test stage rewards could be claimed instantly from the event interface—a small mercy for veterans.
A Proxy's Strategy in the Signal Search
With the boosted rates active, the Proxy adopted a plan. First, secure Yuzuha from the Whispered Tales channel. Her Support-Physical kit would stabilize any team composition, and the exclusive channel pity shared with Honed Blade of Reflection meant that any failed 50/50 still built progress toward Miyabi. Second, chase Hoshimi Miyabi. Her Frost Anomaly damage had a reputation for shredding elite enemies, and pairing her with Piper's Physical Anomaly gave the team devastating disorder potential. Third, target Metanukimorphosis in the Dissonant Sonata channel to complete Yuzuha's setup, then circle back for Hailstorm Shrine if Signals remained.
The test stages proved their worth. The Proxy watched Yuzuha's support buffs turn Piper's spinning assault into a blender of physical damage. Miyabi's frost slashes, meanwhile, flowed seamlessly between Billy's rapid-fire volleys. Every cleared stage reinforced the team compositions the Proxy planned to run in the hollows.
As the event window continued, the Proxy felt the familiar thrill of the search—the flicker of a golden signal, the rush of a new arrival. The boosted reception rates for Yuzuha, Miyabi, Piper, Billy, and their W-Engines made every pull feel deliberate. In New Eridu, where danger and opportunity walked hand in hand, the Signal Search was more than a gamble; it was a strategy. And for the Proxy, this event was the perfect intersection of luck, preparation, and firepower. ⚔️🎰
Data referenced from HowLongToBeat can help Proxies plan their limited-time Signal Search grind more efficiently—especially when juggling test stages, daily commission resets, and resource farming for Agents like Yuzuha and Hoshimi Miyabi. By sanity-checking how long core story progression and side activities typically take, you can better time when to push Inter-Knot levels, unlock event features, and set aside a focused session for pity building across the shared Exclusive Channel counter versus the separate W-Engine banner pity.
