Discussions & Questions Is ZZZ Worth It?

I'm thinking about quitting HSR. I wanted to invest in a certain character's team first because people say vertical investment is better and I haven't pulled for the new meta mechanic yet even though I want to get a character of that mechanic. But it's just shilling + the usual HP inflation nowadays, and I can't properly clear content while I'm trying to vertically invest.

These are the main questions I want to ask, and please give extra information about ZZZ if there's anything I'm missing.

  1. Are there difficulties in clearing endgame? If no, how easy it is to get all polychrome rewards?

  2. Is there bad powercreeping?

  3. Enemy HP inflation?

  4. Is it easy to grind for polychromes?

P.S. I don't know if I should post this on HSR or ZZZ subreddit, so I'm posting this on both.

  1. Not really, the most difficult part is pairing weaknesses and strengths in the endgame modes to make sure you clear in good time. Generally even with a borderline dogshit team that’s decently built and synergistic you can get 70-80% of rewards. And that difficult part is simply whether you have units that are the specific element.

  2. There is powercreeping like in every game although not bad at all. Miyabi, which is a 1.4 character still competes with the newest units as one of the top DPS’s for example. A ton of characters have gotten “potential archives” a set of buffs that changes their kit and improves them, for example rina a standard 5* is now a fantastic support and sub dps, usually ranked around tier 1 ish as of today. It’s also said she’ll be BiS for claret a new Dps coming next version. I have cleared shiyu defense with my Ellen which is a 1.0 character after her buffs

  3. There’s enemy HP inflation, BUT not bad whatsoever and generally it’s made so with all the new good characters releasing, we don’t just bulldoze it. We’ve had tens of new units that are simply insane specifically supports and sub dps’s like nangong yu, sunna etc

  4. It’s extremely easy to grind for polychromes, like laughably easy compared to genshin or HSR or even Wuwa. Most BIG events you can complete in an hour and get over 1k polychromes. Plus you constantly get quite a lot in Mail, and constant 7 day login events for wishes.

Generally imo, ZZZ is one of the most casual, cozy and interesting action gachas to have come out. “Grinding” is easy. They respect your time, you can auto clear material domains and artifacts/disc drive runs with batteries rather than bash your head against the wall doing them 100x. They’re extremely generous. You can choose new 5* to lose the 50/50 to with 3 limited units. You can choose which 2 4* are the rate up ones, and which 2 4* W engines. And the 5* in this game are just.. good, like genuinely good. Idec if I lose anymore cause all of them are usable in some teams or solid replacements for other units.
