2. Party Formation Strategy: Optimal Party Composition Tips for Earning Full Rewards 🧑🤝🧑
- ✅ If you're aiming for full rewards, forming only 3-4 parties is sufficient.
- ✅ Out of the total 4 stages, stages 1 and 2 require 3 parties, while stages 3 and 4 require 4 parties.
- ⚠️ If you're not aiming for a score ranking, you don't need to pay much attention to the optional stages.

3. Equipment Recycling System: Maximizing A-Rank Character Utilization Strategy ♻️

4. Boss Strategy: Analysis of Boss Designs Friendly to Miyabi and Ehyun ⚔️
- ✅ The bosses in each stage are designed to be friendly to Miyabi and Ehyun.
- ✅ Stage 1: Marionette is advantageous for both Miyabi and Ehyun.
- ✅ Stage 2: Brang is a boss that welcomes Miai.

5. 💰 Generous Reward System: Can Low-Spending Players Obtain Honor Rewards?
- ✅ The Polychrome full reward cut-off is set very low.
- ✅ If you clear the general battles placed in each stage within 5 minutes, you can obtain rewards regardless of S, A, or B rank.
- ✅ You need to clear the boss battles with an S rank, but even if only the dealer character is fully built and the support characters are mostly at their base level, achieving S rank is possible.
- ✅ The conditions for obtaining the honor reward, the name card, are also reasonable.
- ✅ You can obtain it if the total score of the boss battles in stages 1-4 on Hard difficulty is 400,000 points or higher.
- ✅ Achieving 400,000 points corresponds to the top 20%, which is a very low cut-off compared to other Hoyoverse games.

6. ⚖️ Comparison with Other Games: Zenless Zone Zero's Differentiation
- ✅ Zenless Zone Zero doesn't have a dedicated playground for heavy-spending players.
- ✅ Critical Simulation is expected to have a similar cycle to Tower of Trials (6-month cycle).
- ✅ Honor rewards are permanent rewards that can be kept forever, not time-limited rewards.

7. 🏆 Secret to Achieving 400,000 Points: In-Depth Analysis of Stage 4 Strategy
- ✅ The biggest reason for achieving 400,000 points lies in Stage 4.
- ✅ Stage 4 provides 3 welcoming bosses instead of a fixed boss.
- ✅ You can choose and strategize against the boss you are most confident in.
- ✅ Alice of Miazma Fiend, Youngho MB Seed of Odokja, and Id Ariga, who will be released in the future, appear as welcoming bosses.
- ✅ Respond to stages 1, 2, and 3 with Miyabi and Ehyun, and respond to stage 4 with your confident welcoming party.
- ✅ You can also obtain Polychrome rewards by clearing only one boss with S rank without having to face all three bosses.
