Welcome back, Proxies! Version 3.0 is officially here, and the atmosphere in New Eridu is shifting as we take to the skies.

To top it all off, Version 3.0 is also breaking the mold by adding Pyrois, a brand-new S-Rank Ether Attack Agent that everyone can unlock completely for free!
Whether you’re aiming to harness the brand-new Wind element or looking to add a fiery impact to your squad with a premium Stunner, knowing your "income" is the difference between a successful investment and a 50/50 tragedy.

Total Pulls Overview (F2P vs. Monthly Pass vs. BP)
Version 3.0 is surprisingly generous, though reaching the highest numbers requires clearing every bit of permanent content. Here is the estimated total for the entire patch duration:
| Player Type | Total Polychromes | Limited Pulls (EMT + Poly) | Standard Pulls (MT) | Bangboopons |
| F2P (Free-to-Play) | 20760 | ~145 Pulls | 29 Pulls | 89 Pulls |
| Inter-Knot Sub | 25140 | ~173 Pulls | 29 Pulls | 86 Pulls |
| Sub + City Fund | 25920 | ~182 Pulls | 29 Pulls | 86 Pulls |
The Verdict: A strict F2P player can comfortably secure enough pulls to guarantee a character from scratch (hitting the 90-pull hard pity) and still walk away with a massive 55-pull cushion. If you have the Monthly Pass or the Battle Pass combo, you are looking at over 170 pulls—giving you more than enough to completely guarantee any specific character of your choice, even if you lose your 50/50!
Pull Distribution by Phase
Rewards are heavily front-loaded in 3.0 to celebrate the Version 3.0 Roscaelifer Launch.
Phase 1: Velina & Ye Shunguang
Estimated Pulls: ~85 - 90.
Why it’s heavy: This phase includes the initial 600 Polychrome maintenance drop, the 1,600 Polychrome Commemorative Gift, the All-New Program login event (10 free Encrypted Master Tapes), high-yield launch events like Assemble! Mock Exam Comeback Plan (1200 Polychromes), and the heavy initial surge of permanent map exploration from the new Simulacrum and Interboo systems.
Phase 2: Norma & Sunna
- Estimated Pulls: ~55 - 60 limited pulls.
- Why it’s lighter: Since the massive launch milestones (like the 1600 Polychrome Commemorative Gift and the 10-pull All-New Program login) are fully claimed in Phase 1, Phase 2 settles down into standard patch pacing. It relies heavily on late-patch events like Celestial Nexus, Tales of the Hobbling Crow, the Version 3.1 Livestream codes, and your weekly recurring Polychromes.
Pull Count Breakdown
To reach that 15,080 Polychrome total, you’ll need to scavenge every corner of Sixth Street and Lumina Square.

Limited-Time Events & Codes
Maintenance & Livestream: A guaranteed 900 Polychromes (600 for the update, 300 for the 3.0 stream).
New Combat Mode - Annihilation Simulacrum
Version 3.0 is shaking up the endgame with Annihilation Simulacrum, a permanent new battle arena designed to push your combat skills to the absolute limit against tough boss encounters. Proxies can tackle these fights across two distinct difficulty tiers: Standard and Extreme. It’s the perfect playground to test out fresh squad compositions, experiment with new Agents, and adapt your strategies to counter whatever mechanics these bosses throw at you.
New Event – Bangbang! The Genius and the Miracle Chip
A major new permanent addition arriving in Version 3.0 dives straight into New Eridu's high-tech robotics. In Bangbang! The Genius and the Miracle Chip, Proxies head to the Central Computing Hub to assist the new Agent, Norma, with her tech research. Gameplay revolves around configuring and commanding specialized Bangboo data models—known as Collaboorators—to restore the hub and overcome specific challenge stages. While the mode is permanent, clearing its launch-window objectives secures a massive premium payout consisting of over a thousand Polychromes, elite upgrade items, and exclusive profile cosmetics.
- New Mode – Assemble! Mock Exam Comeback Plan
A brand-new permanent gameplay addition arrives in Version 3.0, introducing a chaotic "Bullet Heaven" style mini-game to New Eridu. In Assemble! Mock Exam Comeback Plan, Proxies select specific characters—like Velina—who deploy automatic attacks while you focus on navigating dangerous bullet-hell waves. Slaying enemies lets you collect power-ups, level up skills, and piece together unique offensive combinations to sweep the arena. While the survival mode itself is a permanent fixture, completing its time-limited launch checklist rewards you with a massive prize pool of 1,200 Polychromes, a Hamster Cage Pass, and an event-exclusive A-rank Anomaly W-Engine!
- New Event – Gleaming Shadow Team Battle
Gleaming Shadow Team Battle is a quick-swap combat event in Version 3.0 focused entirely on character rotations and support assists. By timing your tag-ins perfectly to trigger powerful team modifiers, you can easily smash through enemy waves to secure 360 Polychromes and a solid bundle of character leveling materials.
- New Event – Art Is Bangboo!
Celebrate New Eridu's favorite robotic helpers with Art Is Bangboo!, a fun, limited-time event arriving in Version 3.0. Centered around the tagline, "All hail Bangboo! We all love Bangboo! Bangboo surprise boxes are on sale now! Come see true art!", this event tasks Proxies with collecting special surprise boxes featuring unique Bangboo designs. It is a quick and highly rewarding addition to your patch checklist, yielding a neat stash of 420 Polychromes, Boopons, and crucial level-up resources to help optimize your squad.
Redeemable Codes: General patch codes and web events contribute roughly 290 Polychromes.
Endgame & Challenge Modes
Shiyu Defense (Critical Node): With three rotations at 780 Poly each, a full clear nets 2,340 Polychromes.
Deadly Assault: The high-difficulty resets contribute another 900 Polychromes.
Bangboopons: Between events and Outpost Logistics, you’ll amass 86 Bangboopons, enough to guarantee your chosen S-Rank Bangboo.
Final Verdict
Version 3.0 is shaping up to be an unmissable milestone update for any Proxy. Velina brings powerhouse potential to the table, while the addition of Norma and Sunna completely shakes up tactical team compositions across the board. With a massive total of 145 free pulls waiting to be claimed across the entire patch, the odds of securing your desired pulls are heavily in your favor.
