Zenless Zone Zero is a gacha game, and as such, players cannot get characters as they would in other games. To get characters in Zenless Zone Zero, players must spend Master Tapes to summon on various banners in the hope of getting their favorite character.

The best way to get Master Tapes is to buy them with Polychromes, and the best way to get Polychromes is through Monochromes.

In this guide, we’ll explain what Monochromes are and how you can get them and use them to try and get your favorite characters.

How to Get Monochrome


As we’ve already mentioned, you can only get Monochrome by spending real money inside the game.

There are two main ways to get Monochrome:

  • Buy from Monochrome Market
  • Buy an Inter-Knot Membership

Monochrome Market

The Monochrome Market is one of the sections inside the game’s store, which you can access by opening the store and choosing it from the list on the left.

The Monochrome Market offers various deals, each with an increasing amount of real-world money. The cheapest offer is as low as 0.99, while the highest goes up to 99.99.

Each offer gives players a set amount of Monochrome, and the first time you buy a specific offer, you will get double the amount of Monochrome.

The double Monochrome deal is unique to every offer, and even if you buy the 0.99 offer, you’ll still have the bonus for the 99.99 offer, so do not be afraid as the offers are not tied to one another.

However, this double deal only works for the first purchase of an offer. Starting from the second purchase of an offer, it will only give the standard amount of Monochrome, so be careful what you buy.

Inter-Knot Membership
