VioletViolet

Phoenix Reffaella is an S-Rank Fire Anomaly Agent expected to arrive in Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.3. To raise Phoenix to Level 60 and fully upgrade all five Skills and her Core Skill, prepare 300 Senior Investigator Logs, five Hamster Cage Passes, the required promotion and Skill materials, and 3,705,000 Dennies.

Looking for her W-Engines, Drive Discs, stats, skill priority, and teams? See our complete ZZZ Phoenix Guide.

Phoenix Promotion Materials

Phoenix uses Anomaly Certification Seals to increase her level cap:

  • Basic Anomaly Certification Seal x4
  • Advanced Anomaly Certification Seal x32
  • Controller Certification Seal x30
  • Dennies x800,000

Farm these materials from the Agent Promotion - Anomaly Drill Combat Simulation. Lower-rarity Certification Seals can also be converted into higher-rarity versions through material crafting.

Phoenix also needs 300 Senior Investigator Logs to reach Level 60. These can be obtained from Investigation Specialization Combat Simulations, Outpost Logistics, events, and other progression rewards.

Because Senior Investigator Logs and Dennies can be used by every Agent, they are safe to collect even if you have not made a final decision about pulling Phoenix.

Phoenix Skill Materials

Phoenix uses Burn Chips to upgrade her Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack.

Maxing all five Skills requires:

  • Basic Burn Chip x25
  • Advanced Burn Chip x75
  • Specialized Burn Chip x250
  • Hamster Cage Pass x5
  • Dennies x2,500,000

Burn Chips are available from the Agent Skill - Heating Test Combat Simulation. They can also be obtained through material conversion and selected event rewards.

Hamster Cage Passes are required for the final level of each Skill. Since they are mainly obtained from events, the New Eridu City Fund, and Association Supplies, avoid using them on low-priority Skills unless you have enough saved.

Based on Phoenix's current kit, her Core Skill should receive the highest priority. For her regular Skills, focus on Basic Attack and Special Attack before investing heavily in Chain Attack, Assist, and Dodge.

You do not need to max all five Skills immediately. The totals above are intended for players who want to complete every Skill upgrade.

Phoenix Core Skill Materials

Completing Phoenix's Core Skill from A to F requires:

  • Higher Dimensional Data: Bloodstained Miasma Feather x60
  • Counterfeit Nucleus x9
  • Dennies x405,000

Bloodstained Miasma Feather Farming Cost

Higher Dimensional Data: Bloodstained Miasma Feather comes from Expert Challenge: Sacrifice - Covenant Guardian.

A standard challenge run costs 40 Battery Charge and provides five Bloodstained Miasma Feathers. Starting from zero, you need:

  • 12 standard challenge runs
  • 480 Battery Charge in total
  • 60 Bloodstained Miasma Feathers

Burnout Mode can reduce the number of individual battles by doubling both the Battery cost and rewards, but it does not reduce the total Battery Charge required.

Counterfeit Nucleus Farming Cost

Counterfeit Nuclei come from Notorious Hunt: Kusarikku. They can also be obtained through the Hidden Treasure section of Outpost Logistics.

Notorious Hunt provides three free reward attempts each week. These free attempts are shared across all Notorious Hunt bosses, so use them on Kusarikku when Phoenix is your main farming priority.

After using the three free attempts, you can activate Pursuit to the Depths and continue farming. Each additional run costs 60 Battery Charge.

Starting from zero, you can obtain all nine Counterfeit Nuclei in either of the following ways:

  • Use three free attempts per week and finish in three weeks.
  • Use three free attempts, then complete six additional runs for 360 Battery Charge.
  • Combine Notorious Hunt drops with Counterfeit Nuclei obtained from Hidden Treasure.

The free weekly attempts make Counterfeit Nuclei worth farming first, but the material is not restricted by a hard weekly limit.

Phoenix Signature W-Engine Materials

W-ENGINE MATERIALS.png

Phoenix's signature is currently listed as an S-Rank Anomaly W-Engine. Its final name and details have not yet been confirmed.

To raise it to Level 60, prepare:

  • Anomaly Component x4
  • Reinforced Anomaly Component x32
  • Specialized Anomaly Component x30
  • W-Engine Energy Module x200
  • Dennies x400,000

Anomaly Components can be farmed from W-Engine Modification Combat Simulations. W-Engine Energy Modules are available through Combat Simulations, events, commissions, and other progression rewards.

These materials are not included in Phoenix's 3,705,000-Denny character total. Fully upgrading Phoenix and her signature W-Engine requires 4,105,000 Dennies in total.

Only prioritize these materials if you intend to obtain her signature W-Engine. The components and Energy Modules can still be collected later without delaying Phoenix's character levels or Core Skill.

Best Phoenix Prefarm Order

Use the following farming order to make the best use of your free attempts and Battery Charge:

  1. Use free Notorious Hunt attempts on Kusarikku. Collect the nine Counterfeit Nuclei first because the free attempts reset weekly.
  2. Farm 60 Bloodstained Miasma Feathers. This requires 12 standard Expert Challenge runs and 480 Battery Charge.
  3. Collect the Anomaly Certification Seals. Phoenix cannot reach Level 60 without completing each promotion.
  4. Farm Burn Chips for her priority Skills. Start with enough materials for Basic Attack and Special Attack before committing to every Skill.
  5. Save 300 Senior Investigator Logs and 3,705,000 Dennies. These resources are needed to complete the full character build.
  6. Farm W-Engine materials last. Skip this step if you will use an alternative Anomaly W-Engine.

This order secures the free weekly rewards first while preventing optional W-Engine farming from delaying Phoenix's essential upgrades.

Should You Prefarm Phoenix?

Prefarming makes sense if you already plan to pull Phoenix and want to use her immediately after obtaining her. Her currently listed Certification Seals, Burn Chips, Core Skill materials, Senior Investigator Logs, and Dennies can be collected before Version 3.3 begins.

If you are still undecided, start with flexible materials:

  • Senior Investigator Logs
  • Dennies
  • Hamster Cage Passes
  • W-Engine Energy Modules

These resources can be used by other Agents and W-Engines if Phoenix's final materials change or you decide to skip her banner.

Planning to pull Phoenix in Version 3.3? Check your Polychromes and pity before her banner arrives. If you still need more Monochromes, top up Zenless Zone Zero through UUTOP before pulling.

Phoenix Materials FAQ

What are Phoenix

Counterfeit Nuclei and Hamster Cage Passes are the most restricted materials. Start collecting Counterfeit Nuclei through weekly Notorious Hunt attempts as early as possible.


Does the Phoenix materials total include her W-Engine?

No. Phoenix


Do you need to max every Phoenix Skill?

No. The full materials list assumes that all five Skills reach Level 12. Players with limited resources can prioritize her Core Skill, Basic Attack, and Special Attack first.

Conclusion

Fully building Phoenix requires 300 Senior Investigator Logs, five Hamster Cage Passes, 3,705,000 Dennies, and the necessary Anomaly, Fire, Expert Challenge, and Notorious Hunt materials. Begin with the free Kusarikku attempts, complete the Bloodstained Miasma Feather farming, and then spend your remaining Battery Charge on promotion and Skill materials.

Preparing these resources in advance will let you raise Phoenix quickly when Version 3.3 arrives. Good luck with your prefarming, and may every Proxy who wants Phoenix bring her home.
