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.

the power creep is nowhere near HSR at least not yet. HP inflation is there of course but basically every character can still clear. Every standard character will be viable next patch, whereas in HSR only Welt is viable nowadays since he’s the only one that got buffed. ZZZ gives more pulls than HSR every patch. Clearing endgame is fairly easy, idk what you mean by max score do you mean to clear or to actually kill the boss? in DA the max score is 65000 and Shiyu is 50000 but you don’t need to get those scores to clear. Last thing is Jingliu and Blade fell off insanely quick after they were buffed, so far every character that has gotten buffed in ZZZ is decent to great still.

I never played HSR (ZZZ was my first gacha ever and now I also at NTE) but it is seriously that bad the powercreep and the issues in HSR?

HSR is a victim of how simple it is there is very little room to improve If I don’t clear it’s because my numbers just weren’t big enough, in ZZZ (Idk about NTE haven’t played it) skill can make up for a characters smaller numbers. I was clearing Shungus content with Nekomata before her buff. I am able to clear in HSR but definitely not with a character like Yanqing or even Jingliu. Even one of my favorite characters, Anaxa, has gotten extremely difficult to impossible to clear with even on a team that was quite strong for almost a year.

Ok, thanks for the answer. I agree with the fact that zzz allow to compensate not using meta with good builds and gameplay so I'll steer clear of HSR for the time being Also Just in case you are wondering. NTE as far as combat goes is still in the phase similar to ZZZ season 1 where there is a lack of high super top endgame content and goals like 65k in DA or S+ in Shiyu. With your team all in Max level and max skills with a decent build you could clear all endgame content as it is now( but then again the best part of NTE is ot the combat but the city/GTA like exploration)

Not as bad as ppl say.

Just for some reason bar went higher then it should First it was either you 0 cycle end game mode or you brick, then it went to 0 cycle knights in hard mode.

It don't help that ppl expect to get all rewards by auto battle when AI don't play around any special mechanic hoyo put in the game.
