Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.2 Potential Hypothesis: Reforged in Fire Event Guide

Potential Hypothesis: Reforged in Fire is a Version 3.2 trial event in Zenless Zone Zero that lets players test Agent gameplay before and after Potential activation. The event features two trial stage types, Cooperation Exercise and Potential Hypothesis, each built around designated squad formations.

Players can access the event after unlocking Ridu Weekly in Chapter 1 of the main story. It begins after the Version 3.2 update and ends when Version 3.2 concludes. Players should also note that the event uses preset squads, so they cannot change their Agents, W-Engines, or Drive Discs during trial stages.

Potential Hypothesis: Reforged in Fire Event Details

The event compares Agent gameplay before and after Potential activation through separate trial stages. Instead of building a custom team, players use the squad formations provided for each challenge and experience the designated combat setup.

How the Two Trial Stages Work

The Cooperation Exercise and Potential Hypothesis let players experience different versions of Agent gameplay with designated squads. The main distinction is whether the trial represents gameplay before or after Potential activation.

The following table summarizes the two stage types described in the official announcement.

Trial Stage	Gameplay Focus	What Players Should Know
Cooperation Exercise	Agent gameplay before Potential activation	Use the designated squad formation to experience the Agent's trial gameplay.
Potential Hypothesis	Agent gameplay after Potential activation	Experience the designated post-activation gameplay setup and complete the stage challenge to obtain its available reward.

The announcement does not provide a complete list of featured Agents, individual stage names, enemy lineups, or combat objectives. Verify these details in the event menu rather than assuming them from the event title.

Cooperation Exercise: Experience Agents Before Potential Activation

Cooperation Exercise focuses on experiencing Agent gameplay before Potential activation. Players enter the designated trial stage and use its assigned squad formation to explore the event's combat experience.

This format offers a structured way to try the specified gameplay without manually assembling a team. However, the official notice does not confirm whether every Agent will appear in the event or provide details on the available trial roster.

Players should review the stage description and its assigned squad before beginning each challenge. Because team customization is restricted, understanding the available formation is part of trial preparation.

Potential Hypothesis: Experience Gameplay After Potential Activation

Potential Hypothesis features Agent gameplay after Potential activation and also serves as the stage type associated with the event’s first-clear reward claim. Players use the designated formation to experience the relevant gameplay and complete the challenge.

The official announcement does not explain the individual mechanics of Potential activation, provide numerical combat comparisons, or list specific skill changes for each featured Agent. Therefore, players should not assume that the event includes a particular damage increase or other unannounced performance benefit.

For players interested in Agent development, the two trial formats offer a structured opportunity to experience gameplay in different activation states. The exact differences will depend on the event's stages and featured Agents.

Squad Restrictions: Agents, W-Engines, and Drive Discs

Players cannot customize their squad or equipment during the Potential Hypothesis: Reforged in Fire trial stages. The event requires them to use the designated squad formations, including the assigned Agents, W-Engines, and Drive Discs.

The restrictions apply to the trial setup as a whole. Players should not expect to replace an Agent, equip a different W-Engine, or swap Drive Discs to match their usual build.

Squad Element	Can Players Change It?	What This Means
Squad Formation	No	Use the formation designated for the trial.
Agents	No	Play with the assigned Agents.
W-Engines	No	Keep the equipment provided in the trial.
Drive Discs	No	Use the assigned Drive Discs throughout the stage.

These restrictions make the event a guided trial experience rather than a team-building activity. Players can focus on learning the provided combat setup without spending time adjusting equipment between attempts.

The announcement doesn't state whether all stages use the same squad formation. Players should check each stage’s information before starting, as the assigned setup may depend on the specific challenge.

Potential Hypothesis: Reforged in Fire Event Rewards

Players can claim each available trial-stage reward once during the event after completing the corresponding Potential Hypothesis stage challenge for the first time. The reward is automatically claimed on the stage-clear screen, so players should pay attention to the completion results.

The official notice confirms the reward-claim process but does not list the specific reward items, quantities, or individual stage rewards. It would therefore be inaccurate to assign unconfirmed Polychrome amounts, upgrade materials, or other items to this event.

The following table explains the confirmed reward conditions.

Reward Detail	Confirmed Information
How to Qualify	Complete the relevant Potential Hypothesis stage challenge.
When the Reward Is Claimed	Automatically on the stage-clear screen after the first qualifying completion.
Claim Limit	Each trial-stage reward can be claimed once during the event.
Repeat Reward Claims	The same trial-stage reward cannot be claimed again during the event.
Exact Reward Items	Not specified in the official announcement.

How to Claim the Event Rewards

Players should complete each available reward-bearing challenge and check the stage-clear screen to collect its reward. The event’s stated claim process is tied to the first completion of the corresponding Potential Hypothesis stage challenge.

Follow these steps:

1. Unlock Ridu Weekly through Chapter 1 of the main story.

2. Open the Potential Hypothesis: Reforged in Fire event after the Version 3.2 update.

3. Review the available trial stages and their designated squad formations.

4. Enter the relevant stage and use the assigned Agents and equipment.

5. Complete the Potential Hypothesis stage challenge for the first time.

6. Check the stage-clear screen to claim the automatic reward.

7. Repeat the process for other available stages with unclaimed rewards.

Players should complete the available challenges before Version 3.2 ends. The official notice does not confirm any extension beyond the version’s end or specify whether missed rewards will become available later.

Is Potential Hypothesis: Reforged in Fire Worth Playing?

The event is worth trying if you want to experience designated Agent gameplay and collect the available first-clear rewards. Its two trial formats let you explore gameplay before and after Potential activation without changing equipment or assembling a custom squad.

Players who enjoy testing combat setups may find the format useful, while those mainly interested in event rewards should prioritize stages with unclaimed rewards. Since each trial-stage reward can be claimed only once, repeatedly clearing the same stage won't grant another copy of its event reward.

For accurate information about featured Agents, stage objectives, and reward quantities, players should rely on the in-game event menu and official announcements.
