Zenless Zone Zero Reroll Guide 2026
Rerolling means creating a fresh account, wishing on the beginner banner, and starting over if you do not get the unit you want. Here is when it is worth it, exactly how to do it, and where it usually backfires.
⚡ The short answer
Zenless Zone Zero is one of the worst games to reroll. Progress to your first wish takes 30–60 minutes, the beginner banner is a small fixed pool, and most accounts eventually get every character anyway. Reroll only if you are brand new and specifically want one strong DPS to carry your early game.
What is rerolling?
You make a new HoYoverse account, play the opening of the game until you unlock Wishes, spend the free Primogems on the Beginner Banner (Wanderlust Invocation), and check the result. If the 5-star is one you want, you keep the account. If not, you delete it and repeat. The goal is a head-start account with a premium unit before you invest real time.
When rerolling is (and isn't) worth it
Worth it if…
- You have never played and want a strong carry from day one.
- You only care about one specific 5-star and nothing else.
- You are patient — this is a repetitive, slow process.
Skip it if…
- You already have progress — you lose all it forever.
- You play on PlayStation (accounts are tied to PSN, hard to wipe).
- You want a specific new character — they are never on the beginner banner.
How to reroll — step by step
- Create an account. Use the official launcher, mobile app, or a fresh email. Do not link a PSN yet.
- Rush the tutorial. Play until you reach the first city and unlock the Wish menu (Adventure Rank ~5).
- Collect free Primogems. Claim the mail, finish the opening quests, and use the starter Intertwined/Acquaint Fate you are given.
- Wish on the Beginner Banner. It offers a discounted 20-wish guarantee for a 5-star from a fixed pool.
- Decide. Got your target? Link your email and keep it. Missed? Delete the account and start over.
- Lock it in. Once happy, link a real email, set a password, and only then consider binding PSN or socials.
Best starters to aim for
The beginner banner pools from the standard 5-star roster, so aim for a unit that carries early content without much team support. Reliable picks include a strong on-field DPS such as Keqing, Tartaglia, or Jean (who also heals), plus any 5-star catalyst or polearm carry. Avoid rerolling purely for supports — they need a team to shine.
Platform notes
- PC / Android / iOS: Easiest. Accounts live on your HoYoverse ID; wiping means making a new ID.
- PlayStation: Not recommended. PSN linking binds the account and wiping is impractical.
- Emulators: Common for farming multiple attempts, but check the game's terms of service first.
The real risks
Rerolling burns hours for a single 5-star you will eventually own anyway through standard wishes and pity. You also forfeit any event progress, friends, and Primogems already earned. For most players, keeping one account and wishing smartly beats chasing a perfect start.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I reroll for the newest limited character?
No. Limited 5-stars only appear on event banners, never the beginner banner. Rerolling cannot target them.
Is rerolling against the rules?
Making new accounts is allowed, but automating it or abusing emulators can violate the terms of service. Do it manually.
How long does one reroll attempt take?
Roughly 30–60 minutes to reach the first wish, then seconds to evaluate. Budget several attempts.
