Zenless Zone Zero 3.1: Is Sigrid Worth Pulling? Banner Dates, Kit, Teams, and Pull Value

Players deciding whether Sigrid is worth pulling in Zenless Zone Zero 3.1 can top up their Polychrome quickly with a Zenless Zone Zero top-up through the official Topuplist storefront before her Phase 2 banner closes on September 8. Sigrid de L'Azur is the headlining new Agent of Version 3.1's second half — an S-Rank Ice Attack unit built as an on-field main DPS — and the community debate around her is less about raw power and more about playstyle fit. She is strong, but she is also one of the most execution-heavy Attackers in the game, which makes the "is she worth it?" question genuinely account-dependent.

Is Sigrid Worth Pulling in ZZZ 3.1? (Quick Verdict)

The short answer: pull Sigrid if you want a premium Ice Attack carry and you enjoy a burst-window, manual-chain playstyle. Skip or wait if you already own a strong Ice or Attack main DPS, or if you prefer low-effort carries that perform well on auto-chain. Because Version 3.1 is an anniversary patch, the same phase also offers a guaranteed-select Rescreening banner and a free limited S-Rank selector, so Sigrid is not the only high-value target competing for your Polychrome this cycle.

The pull-value analysis from Icy Veins frames Sigrid as "amazing, but she demands your attention" — a powerful Season 3 Attacker with the numbers to keep pace with the current meta, held back only by a combo-heavy kit that rewards Manual Chain Attacks and careful Stun-window management. That single nuance decides whether she is a must-pull or a skip for you.

Who Is Sigrid de L'Azur?

Sigrid de L'Azur is the fifth-generation Deputy Administrative Director of the Airspace Patrol Department in Roscaelifer, a skyborne city-state that operates under Lindverne (one of the aspects that split from the legendary Sunbringer). In-world lore claims her combat prowess is enough to go toe-to-toe with a Void Hunter, and her design leans hard into knightly imagery: a lance paired with a shield strapped to one arm, hoof-shaped feet, a tail, and horse ears.

She is the first Horse Thiren to join the roster, and that distinctive anatomy has made her a fast fan favorite among players who love non-human character designs. She previously appeared in the Version 2.7 Main Story Quest and the Season 2 epilogue "Eridan Sunset (A)" before becoming playable in 3.1. Her English voice actor is Dani Chambers, also known for Nilou in Genshin Impact and Arlan in Honkai: Star Rail.

Sigrid at a Glance

Faction, Lore, and Story Placement

Roscaelifer remains one of the more mysterious regions of New Eridu's expanded world. The Airspace Patrol Department is one of five central departments in the skyborne city-state, and the region itself operates under Lindverne — one of the three aspects that split from the legendary Sunbringer. Sigrid ranks second only to the Lindverne Sunbringer within her department, which functions as the public-security force keeping the peace across the island's airspace. Her position as a department director means her story quests are expected to pull back the curtain on Roscaelifer's politics and its connection to the larger Hollow disaster. Her airspace background has also fueled community speculation — discussed across r/ZenlessZoneZero and the fan wiki — about future flight-based Hollow exploration modes, though nothing has been officially confirmed. What is confirmed is that she arrives as a fully fleshed character with established story presence, not a lore-light debut.

Sigrid's Kit — Knight's Focus and the Burst-Window Playstyle

Sigrid's identity as a carry rests on a special state called Knight's Focus. She enters Knight's Focus to power up her Alternate Attacks, which escalate through three stages — each stage makes her heavy hits stronger, so the deeper you are into the state, the harder she lands. Your job as the player is to build into that state and then dump the enhanced sequence, her EX Special, and her Ultimate inside a Stun window for a massive burst. The optimal rotation is to open Knight's Focus, stack it up, and then chain your heaviest hits during the brief daze your team creates. That is why she is described as a "burst-window carry" rather than a sustained DPS.

The detail that defines her, however, is how she interacts with the Stun window. Sigrid heavily rewards Manual Chain Attacks to extend the duration of a Stun, letting her squeeze considerably more damage out of each opening. Per Icy Veins, she is "one of the most Manual Chain Attack-hungry Agents currently available." If you enjoy taking direct control of your Chain Attacks and optimizing inputs, that is great news. If you prefer letting the game handle your chains automatically, you will leave a large share of her damage on the table.

Core Passive and the CRIT Rate Economy

Sigrid's Core Passive already supplies a large portion of CRIT Rate, which reshapes how you build her. Because you are not starved for CRIT Rate, you pivot your discs and W-Engine toward CRIT DMG, ATK, and Ice DMG Bonus instead. Build guides note you can safely run CRIT DMG on the disc-4 main stat rather than chasing more CRIT Rate, freeing substats for raw ATK and Penetration. This is a meaningful quality-of-life advantage: her built-in CRIT Rate means even moderately invested gear performs well, and her ceiling scales with how cleanly you execute the Knight's Focus burst loop.

Best W-Engine, Drive Discs, and Teams

Her signature W-Engine, Knight's Extolment, is an S-Rank Attack engine that stacks CRIT DMG as you land Basic and EX Special heavy attacks (up to two Battle Edge stacks, each boosting CRIT DMG for a duration). Because her Core Passive covers CRIT Rate, the engine's CRIT DMG focus is exactly on-profile.

For Drive Discs, the recommended set is Woodpecker Electro (4-piece), with the following main-stat priorities:

Substat priority runs CRIT DMG > ATK% > CRIT Rate (only if you are short of the soft cap) > Penetration. As an on-field carry, Sigrid wants a Stunner to open a daze window and a Support to buff her right before the burst. Faction and Ice synergies improve the numbers, but the principle holds for any account: create a predictable Stun window, buff into it, and unload Sigrid's full Knight's Focus sequence. Community testing points to strong pairings with ice-resistance shredders like Lycaon and the fire Stunner Norma, plus flexible Supports such as Yuzuha.

ZZZ 3.1 Phase 2 Banner Details and Schedule

Version 3.1, titled "The Long Goodbye," went live on July 29, 2026, and runs as an anniversary patch. The first half belonged to Remielle, the game's first Lumiflux-attribute Agent (Anomaly), on the "Paradise Regained" Signal Search. Sigrid anchors the second half.

"Till the Ends of the Sky" Banner and Pity

Sigrid's debut Signal Search, "Till the Ends of the Sky," runs from August 19 to September 8, 2026 (server time) — precisely 2026/08/19 12:00 to 2026/09/08 14:59 in-game. Her signature W-Engine, Knight's Extolment, runs on the concurrent W-Engine Reverberation channel. The A-Rank rate-ups alongside her are Soukaku (Ice Support) and Lucy (Fire Support).

The banner follows HoYoverse's standard limited rules: a hard pity at 90 pulls for the featured S-Rank, with the familiar 50/50 on whether the first S-Rank is Sigrid. Lose the 50/50 and the next S-Rank is guaranteed to be her, for a worst-case 180 pulls to secure the Agent. Two important mechanics to remember:

• Agent pity and W-Engine pity are separate tracks. Budget for the Agent first; treat the signature W-Engine as a second-step decision.

• The Exclusive Channel guarantee count carries across other Exclusive Channels, but not with the W-Engine or Rescreening channels. If you came in hot off Remielle's Phase 1 banner, your carried pity may already lower Sigrid's real cost.

Sigrid is a limited-banner S-Rank and is not on the permanent Stable Channel at release, so there is no "save for the standard pool" fallback — this window is the only current way to obtain her.

The Exclusive Rescreening Banner (Dialyn, Yuzuha, Harumasa)

The anniversary brings back the well-received Exclusive Rescreening banner, and it is the quiet star of Phase 2's pull-value conversation. During the current Rescreening period you select one rerun from Dialyn (Physical Stunner), Ukinami Yuzuha (Physical Support), or Asaba Harumasa (Electric Attack), and the first S-Rank you obtain from that channel is guaranteed to be your selected rerun — there is no 50/50 to worry about.

Why this matters: Dialyn remains one of the best Stunners in the game (sitting alongside Norma at the top of the role) and enables more frequent Team Ultimates; Yuzuha is arguably the highest-value Support pull of the half, accelerating Anomaly buildup and remaining future-proof even after Remielle's release; Harumasa is a respectable Electric Attacker but the hardest to recommend given the crowded Electric DPS field. If you lack any of these three, the Rescreening guarantee makes them a low-risk, high-value alternative to spending on Sigrid.

Sigrid vs the Rest of Your Roster — Should You Pull?

The honest framing from veteran guides is that Sigrid is an excellent DPS, but not necessarily the right DPS for everyone. Her value is concentrated: enormous burst-window damage, a large built-in CRIT Rate that frees substats, a clear and satisfying stage-based Alternate Attack loop, and a strong Ice-carry option for the roster. Her weaknesses are equally clear: she is reliant on hitting her full sequence inside a Stun window, she wants a dedicated Stunner and Support to shine, and her execution ceiling is higher than a point-and-click carry.

Pull If / Skip If

Limited Ice Attackers are rare in Zenless Zone Zero, and Sigrid's design philosophy — patient play, timed freezing, and team-building flexibility — suggests she will age well. But if your roster already has a settled Ice or Attack core, she is a "want" rather than a "need," and the anniversary's other gifts may serve your account better.

The Marcel Anniversary Free Selector Factor

The Marcel Anniversary Gift runs for the entire 3.1 patch and rewards Proxies with a limited S-Rank Agent selector, an S-Rank W-Engine selector, and loads of Polychromes. Because a free limited S-Rank is on the table, many players are deliberately waiting before committing premium currency to Sigrid. If the free selector can fill a gap Sigrid would otherwise fill, your Polychrome is better spent elsewhere — or saved for a future banner. Version 3.1 also adds a new permanent mode, Enigma of the Labyrinth: Operation Bagel, plus the S-Rank Bangboo Ariel, so the patch is generous regardless of which Agents you chase.

How to Budget Your Polychrome and Master Tapes

If your Polychrome stock is running low heading into Phase 2, a reliable Zenless Zone Zero top-up through Topuplist keeps you ready for the 90-pull hard pity. Before you spend, sweep up every free source of premium currency: redeem all active ZZZ codes (they expire fast, often within a day or two of a Special Program), and clear your rotating endgame modes — Shiyu Defense and Deadly Assault both pay out Polychrome each cycle. A few extra pulls have decided plenty of 50/50s.

For budgeting, a practical target is to plan around the worst-case 180 pulls if you are starting cold with no carried pity, and to separate Agent pulls from W-Engine pulls entirely. Reserve outfit and skin money separately from pull money so FOMO does not blur your budget. Prydwen's Zenless Zone Zero character and tier resources are a good place to sanity-check where Sigrid lands against the Agents you already own before you commit.

Ready to chase Sigrid before her window shuts? Secure your Polychrome with a Zenless Zone Zero top-up via Topuplist and aim to lock in the Agent before September 8, then decide on Knight's Extolment only after she is safe.

FAQ

Is Sigrid worth pulling in Zenless Zone Zero 3.1?
Yes, for most accounts that lack a strong on-field Ice Attack carry and enjoy a burst-window, manual-chain playstyle. Skip her if you already own a settled Ice or Attack DPS or prefer low-effort carries, since the anniversary also offers a guaranteed Rescreening rerun and a free limited S-Rank selector.

When does Sigrid's banner run in ZZZ 3.1?
Her debut Signal Search, "Till the Ends of the Sky," runs from August 19 to September 8, 2026 (server time). She is a limited-banner S-Rank and is not on the permanent Stable Channel at release.

What element and role is Sigrid?
Sigrid is an S-Rank Ice Attack Agent built as an on-field main DPS. She uses a lance and shield, and her kit revolves around the Knight's Focus burst-window state and Manual Chain Attacks that extend Stun duration.

What is Sigrid's best build?
Her signature W-Engine is Knight's Extolment (CRIT DMG stacking). The recommended Drive Disc set is Woodpecker Electro (4-piece), with CRIT DMG on slot 4, Ice DMG Bonus on slot 5, and ATK% on slot 6, because her Core Passive already supplies a large amount of CRIT Rate.

Should I pull Knight's Extolment or save for another Agent?
Treat the W-Engine as a second-step decision after the Agent is secure, because Agent and W-Engine pity are separate tracks. Pull Knight's Extolment only if you have Sigrid and want to maximize her burst ceiling; otherwise bank the currency.

What is the Exclusive Rescreening banner in 3.1 Phase 2?
It lets you select one rerun — Dialyn, Ukinami Yuzuha, or Asaba Harumasa — for the whole phase, and the first S-Rank you obtain from that channel is guaranteed to be your selected rerun, removing the 50/50 risk. You can fund either banner with a Zenless Zone Zero top-up at Topuplist if your Polychrome runs short.
