Version 2.6 of Zenless Zone Zero has introduced a fresh limited-time event for Proxies, and it blends music, fan management, and competition in the colorful world of New Eridu. The event opened after the Version 2.6 update on March 23, 2026, and it gives eligible players a chance to become the honorary agent for the Angels of Delusion. To take part, a Proxy must reach Inter-Knot Lv. 20 and complete Main Story Chapter 1 - Intermission. For the best narrative flow, the game also recommends finishing Main Story Season 2 Interlude 'Encore for an Old Dream' before participating.

Once the event is active, Proxies can learn about the creator competition New Eridu's Rising Star from the TV at the video store. This discovery sends them to the 404 livehouse, where the daily event loop begins. The main objective is to support the Angels of Delusion by managing their artist account, taking part in performances, and helping them win the competition. It is a mix of story content, rhythm-style or performance challenges, and daily progression that keeps the event feeling lively.

Event Progression and Game Modes

The event content does not drop all at once. Instead, several pieces unlock gradually as the event progresses:

  • Journey of Shimmering Delusions: The main event mission that guides Proxies through the story and event features.

  • Shining Melody: A game mode tied to the musical side of the event.

  • Solo Note: Another performance-focused mode that adds variety to the daily routine.

  • Performance Showdown: A competitive mode where Proxies can push their artist management skills further.

By experiencing the event story and clearing these game modes, Proxies earn Star Points. Earning Star Points increases overall Star Progress, which unlocks corresponding rewards along the way. This means players should check the event screen regularly to claim new rewards as their Star Progress grows.

Grand Marcel Adventure and New Mechanics

The Grand Marcel Adventure also receives brand-new mechanics during this event. Proxies who participate can obtain two important event currencies:

  • Marcel Coating Vouchers: These can be used to redeem Eous outfits.

  • Popularity Carrots: These have an acquisition limit in each phase, and that limit gradually increases as the event progresses.

There is also a daily incentive: the first Grand Marcel Adventure participation each day grants bonus Popularity Carrots. Since the mode entrance will close after the event period ends, it is best to participate promptly and use the daily bonuses while they are available.

Limited-Time Rewards

Completing limited-time missions during the event can earn a variety of exclusive rewards. The table below summarizes the main reward categories:

Reward Details
Agent Outfit Pan Yinhu: Culinary Jewel
Proxy Accessories Wise: Happy Neigh Year and Belle: Neigh Year, Neigh Me
Upgrade Materials Various materials for progression
Currency Polychromes
Special Item Hamster Cage Pass

It is important to note that the Proxy accessories Wise: Happy Neigh Year and Belle: Neigh Year, Neigh Me can only be equipped after unlocking the Proxy Outfits Wise: Soaring Crane and Belle: Delicate Sunlight. Players who want to use those accessories should keep the outfit requirements in mind.

After the Event Ends

Once the event period is over, the event will be documented in Ridu Chronicles. This means Proxies can continue playing the event content through the archive, so missing the main story experience is less punishing. However, there is a catch: limited-time rewards cannot be claimed after the event ends, and the Grand Marcel Adventure mode will become unavailable. Because of this, it is wise to finish the limited missions and claim all rewards before the event closes.

Quick Tips for Proxies

  • 🎯 Finish the unlock requirements early: Inter-Knot Lv. 20 and Main Story Chapter 1 - Intermission.

  • 🥕 Do Grand Marcel Adventure at least once per day for the bonus Popularity Carrots.

  • ⭐ Clear the event story and modes as they open to maximize Star Progress.

  • 📺 Start the event from the TV at the video store to unlock the 404 livehouse activities.

  • ⏰ Claim limited-time rewards before the event ends, since they will not be available later.

This event offers a strong mix of story, performance gameplay, and management-style progression. For Proxies who enjoy the musical side of New Eridu or simply want the exclusive outfits and upgrade materials, the Angels of Delusion event is well worth the time.
