You can reroll in Chaos Zero Nightmare using a Guest account. The first moment when you can pull characters from banners is after about 20 minutes of gameplay, when you clear the Chaos tutorial and see a message saying the Lobby has been unlocked.
When you go to the Lobby, CZN’s tutorial will seem to force you into starting your first Battle Mission. You can, however, click away to return to the lobby and start rolling (or Rescuing) characters.
Before you start, claim all launch event bonuses from the Mail. You can get them by tapping the hamburger button (☰) on the top right of the lobby, then selecting the mail icon on the right-side menu. Also, get all the Achievement rewards by tapping the cards icon next to that hamburger button in the lobby. This way, you’ll have maxed out all free rewards needed to pull for a five-star in the early game of Chaos Zero Nightmare.
Best banner and characters to pull and reroll for
Once you enter the Rescue menu from the lobby, you should pull from the Special Rescue Request banner. It’s the third banner on the list, the one that guarantees you a five-star character after 50 pulls.
The five-star characters with the best reroll value are Mei Lin and Khalipe, with Kayron and Hugo also being good alternatives. They all have great AP cost effectiveness, strong buffs, or simply big damage and AoE cards.
From all the rewards you’ve collected in the Achievements and from the Mail, you should have almost enough Rescue Anchors to do these 50 pulls. You’ll have enough Crystals to buy the rest and secure your first five-star character.
If you’re obsessed with optimization, you can instead pull from the Normal Combatant Rescue banner first. But the odds of naturally pulling any five-star Combatant are 1 percent, or 0.1 percent for each specific target. If you get them, though, you still have the Special Rescue Request for a second guaranteed five-star. I still don’t recommend this because you can clear game content with any combatant team early on, making this high level of optimization unnecessary and a massive drag with CZN’s 20-minute reroll cycles.
How to reset your account to reroll
If you didn’t get the five-star character you wanted from the Special Rescue Request, do the following to erase your account data and reroll in Chaos Zero Nightmare:
- Go to the Lobby
- Tap the hamburger button (☰) on the top right
- Tap the Gear icon on the right-side menu that pops up to open the Settings menu. The Gear is the second icon from the bottom up.
- Tap the icon with a generic person shape, which will open the Account Settings.
- Select the “Reset server” button on the bottom right
- Type in your account nickname to confirm you want to erase your game data.
- Create a new game with a new Guest account.
You now have to play through all the tutorials from scratch until you unlock the Lobby again, when you’ll claim all the Mail and Achievement rewards to roll for the Special Rescue a few more times.
How to bind your guest account after rerolling
If you’re rerolling with a Guest account, remember to bind it to an email after getting the Combatant you were chasing. You can do so in the same Account Settings menu you used to reroll:
- Tap the hamburger button, the Gear icon, and go to Account Settings.
- Next to “STOVE Account Management”, tap “Go Now”
- Select “Upgrade to Member”
- Choose your favorite method to bind your account and never lose it again. You can choose from Email, Google, Apple, Facebook, Naver, and Line.
- Complete your platform-specific instructions, and your account will be bound and safe.
Rerolling in Chaos Zero Nightmare is not worth it
Unlike other gacha games, Chaos Zero Nightmare doesn’t give you resources early on to pull from its rate-up banner, only from standard ones. Also, from the Closed Beta Test, all five-star characters are viable choices in most team comps in the early and mid game, with none of them being an overwhelmingly powerful choice compared to the others.
That’s why rerolling in CZN is not worth it. The only reason to do so is if you really like one of the characters and absolutely want to start your playthrough with them. In that case, go for it. If you don’t care, just keep whatever five-star you get from the Special Rescue, and you’ll be completely fine.
