The rain in New Eridu fell like static in 2026, but the Proxy still remembered the autumn of 2024. Back then, Inter-Knot buzzed with a single phrase: No Match Found. It was not an error code. It was the name of an Exclusive Channel, a brief window when the city’s signal towers leaned toward a chained, smiling menace named Jane Doe. The Proxy had just reached Inter-Knot Lv. 8 and unlocked the Event feature during the Main Story Prologue — Intermission. The timing felt like fate.

Jane was an S-Rank Agent of the Anomaly - Physical type. Her presence promised a new rhythm for combat, a physical anomaly that could unravel enemies from within. The channel also boosted Seth, an A-Rank Defense - Electric Agent, and Anby, an A-Rank Stun - Electric Agent. For a Proxy with a thin roster, that trio looked like a lifeline.

The event ran from 2024/09/04 12:00:00 to 2024/09/24 14:59:59 server time. Every Signal Search in the Exclusive Channel No Match Found had a significantly boosted reception rate for Jane, Seth, and Anby. The rules were precise, and the Proxy memorized them.

Stable channel note Jane would not become available in the Star-Studded Cast Stable Channel
Seth after event Seth would be available permanently in Star-Studded Cast from Version 1.2

The Proxy remembered pressing Details at the bottom-left of the Search page, reading until the words blurred. The most important line was simple: this was an Exclusive Channel. Pity would carry across future Exclusive Channels, but not from stable or other channels. For a free-to-play Proxy, that knowledge was a weapon.

The channel also stated that the limited S-Rank Jane would not become available in the Star-Studded Cast Stable Channel. That detail mattered. It meant Jane was a true limited debut, while Seth had a future in the permanent pool. The Proxy marked the calendar and counted every tape.

The first ten searches yielded nothing. The next ten yielded Anby. The Proxy laughed, because Anby had already been a steady stun machine. Then Seth arrived, his shield crackling with electricity. Jane, however, remained a silhouette at the edge of the screen. No Match Found. The channel’s name became a private joke.

Then came The Final Callback - Audition Stage. It shared the same dates as the Signal Search event, and it asked only for Inter-Knot Lv. 8 and the Event feature unlocked in the Main Story Prologue - Intermission. Inside, Proxies could test Jane, Seth, and Anby in a test stage. After clearing each test stage for the first time, rewards appeared on the results page. The Proxy used this stage to learn Jane’s kit. Her physical anomaly build, her assault on the senses, her ability to trigger disorder — the test stage gave a taste without the gacha. It was generous in its own way.

By 2026, that autumn feels like an old cassette. The original No Match Found channel has long closed. Seth is permanently available in the Star-Studded Cast Stable Channel, a promise that came true in Version 1.2. Anby remains a familiar face. Jane? Her limited S-Rank debut belongs to the archive, a moment when New Eridu’s signal towers sang for a dangerous woman with a chainsaw grin. New Proxies may never know the specific thrill of that first No Match Found banner, but they can still feel its echo in every Anomaly team.

For anyone building a roster in 2026, the old event still offers lessons:

  • 🎯 Exclusive Channels share pity with each other, so count every search.

  • ⚡ Seth’s permanent addition to stable proves that some promises age well.

  • 🩸 Jane’s Physical Anomaly changed how many Proxies built teams.

  • 🎭 The Final Callback - Audition Stage was a free classroom.

  • 🧠 Always press Details. The fine print is gameplay.

The Proxy still runs Hollow Zero and stares at new banners. But sometimes, when the search animation glitches and the screen says no match found, the Proxy smiles. It is not a failure. It is a memory of September 2024, when Jane Doe was almost within reach, and the city was loud with possibility.

Data referenced from Sensor Tower helps frame why limited-time banners like Zenless Zone Zero’s “No Match Found” can feel so momentous: scarcity windows tend to concentrate player attention and spending, which in turn amplifies the community’s focus on pity tracking, roster gaps, and whether a character (like Jane Doe) stays truly limited versus later joining a stable pool (as Seth eventually did). Reading banner mechanics through a market-timing lens also clarifies why trial stages and clear reward loops are paired with exclusives—they lower the learning barrier while engagement is at its peak.
