In a Zenless Zone Zero account listing, "M2" means an agent has two extra copies unlocked in Mindscape Cinema, "W1" or "+ sig" means the agent's signature W-Engine is included, and "IK 55" is the account's Inter-Knot Level out of a maximum of 60.
Read those three together with the server and the number of limited S-Rank agents, and you know most of what an account is worth.
ZZZ listing terms at a glance
| Term | Meaning | Why it matters to a buyer |
|---|---|---|
| M0 to M6 | Mindscape Cinema level: each duplicate of an agent adds one level | Each level is a permanent upgrade to that agent |
| W1, W2 and up, "+ sig" | Copies of a W-Engine; "sig" means the agent's signature W-Engine | A signature W-Engine is often worth more than M1 |
| S-Rank, A-Rank | Rarity of agents and W-Engines | S-Rank limited agents drive value |
| Limited | Agents only obtainable on time limited Exclusive Channel banners | Cannot be pulled from the standard pool |
| IK | Inter-Knot Level, the account level, max 60 | Shows how much of the game is unlocked |
| Polychrome, Master Tapes | Premium currency and pull tickets | Stored pulls for future banners |
| EU, NA, Asia, TW/HK/MO | Server region | Fixed for life; decides ping and co-op |
Mindscape Cinema: what M0 to M6 means
Mindscape Cinema is the duplicate system. Every time you pull a copy of an agent you already own, that agent climbs one Mindscape level, from M0 up to M6. Each level unlocks a permanent upgrade, and the steps are not equal in size.
- M0 is the base agent. Tier lists such as Game8's rank agents at M0, so an M0 top tier agent is already strong.
- M1 is often a meaningful damage or uptime gain and is the most common "value" duplicate.
- M2 is frequently another strong multiplier or a quality of life fix.
- M3 to M5 mostly raise skill level caps.
- M6 is the capstone. It can be build defining, and it takes seven copies of one agent.
So "Ye Shunguang M2" means the agent plus two duplicates: three copies in total.
W-Engines: what W1 and "+ sig" mean
W-Engines are the weapons in Zenless Zone Zero. Upgrading one works like Mindscape Cinema: duplicates of the same W-Engine raise its skill multipliers. Sellers write "W1" for a single copy and higher numbers for extra copies, and many listings use "+ sig" or "+ signature" for the agent's own S-Rank W-Engine.
On a listing, "M0 + sig" can be the better account than "M1" with no signature. A signature W-Engine often delivers more damage per pull than the first Mindscape, so judge an agent by the pair, not by the M number alone.
This is also why an account that lists "10 limited, 8 signatures" can outperform one with more agents and fewer signature W-Engines.
Banners and pity: why limited agents carry the price
Limited S-Rank agents come from the Exclusive Channel. You are guaranteed an S-Rank within 90 searches, and each one has a 50 percent chance to be the featured limited agent. Lose that 50/50 and the next S-Rank is guaranteed to be the limited one.
The W-Engine Channel has better odds: an S-Rank W-Engine within 80 draws, with a 75 percent chance of being the featured one. That is why a signature W-Engine costs fewer pulls than a duplicate agent.
| Channel | Hard pity | Featured rate |
|---|---|---|
| Exclusive Channel (agents) | 90 | 50 percent, guaranteed after a loss |
| W-Engine Channel | 80 | 75 percent, guaranteed after a loss |
Inter-Knot Level: what IK tells you
Inter-Knot Level is the account level, comparable to Adventure Rank in Genshin Impact, and it caps at 60. Rank Up missions at levels 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 unlock agent and W-Engine upgrades and new content.
A high IK means the content is open and most one time Polychrome rewards are claimed. It does not mean the roster is strong. An IK 60 account can still be thin on limited agents, and an IK 12 starter can hold a brand new limited agent.
Which agents push value right now
Game8's version 3.2 tier list, updated October 5, 2026, puts these agents in its top tier at M0:
- Damage: Remielle, Ye Shunguang, Yixuan, Miyabi, Claret.
- Stun: Dialyn, Norma, Nangong Yu, Trigger.
- Support: Astra Yao, Yuzuha, Sunna, Lucia.
Version 3.3 arrives on October 21, 2026 with Phoenix in Phase 1 and Severian from November 11, plus Velina and Norma reruns. New agents shift the meta, so a top tier name today is a good sign, not a permanent one. Our ZZZ tier list tracks the changes.
Servers: the one term you cannot change
Zenless Zone Zero runs four servers: Europe, America, Asia and TW, HK, MO. Game8 is clear that data from one server cannot be transferred to another for any reason. The PS5 version only connects to the Europe, America and Asia servers.
In the account sales we track, Europe accounts make up roughly three quarters of the total, with America and Asia far behind. Pick the server you will play on before you compare rosters.
Putting it together: reading a real style listing
Take a listing written as "EU | 15 Limited | Ye Shunguang M2 + Sign | Miyabi, Yixuan + Sign | IK 56". Decoded, that is a Europe server account with 15 limited S-Rank agents. Ye Shunguang has two duplicates and her signature W-Engine, Miyabi is included, and Yixuan has her signature. The account is at Inter-Knot Level 56 of 60.
Before buying, confirm each claim on screen: the agent list, the Mindscape screen for each M number, the W-Engine inventory, and the server name. The Zenless Zone Zero hub covers agents, banners and buying checks in more depth.
Frequently asked questions
What does M6 mean in Zenless Zone Zero?
M6 is the highest Mindscape Cinema level. Each duplicate of an agent adds one level, so M6 means seven copies of the same agent. It is the capstone upgrade and usually a sign of heavy spending.
What does W1 mean in ZZZ?
W1 means one copy of a W-Engine, usually the agent's signature S-Rank W-Engine. Extra duplicates raise the W-Engine's skill multipliers further.
Is M1 better than a signature W-Engine?
Often not. A signature W-Engine frequently gives more damage per pull than M1, and the W-Engine Channel has better odds: 75 percent featured rate against 50 percent for agents.
What is the max Inter-Knot Level?
Inter-Knot Level caps at 60. Rank Up missions at 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 unlock agent and W-Engine upgrades and new content along the way.
Can I move a ZZZ account to another server?
No. Data cannot be transferred between servers for any reason. The PS5 version also cannot play on the TW, HK, MO server.
