How to get Zhu Yuan in Zenless Zone Zero

The only way to get Zhu Yuan so you can play with her is Zenless Zone Zero It is through their banner or gachapon. This exclusive channel will be available for the first time during phase 2 of version 1.0 between the night of Tuesday, July 23 and the night of Tuesday, August 13, 2024.

In this guide we recommend the best gear, Amplifier, Bangbus, Disc Tracks and materials for a Zhu Yuan build in Zenless Zone Zero.

As long as the exclusive Zhu Yuan channel banner or ‘banner’ is available as a featured character, we can spend Encrypted tapes to make wishes on it. There is a very low chance of getting an S-Rank character (0.6%), but the game ensures that we will get one every 90 attempts. If the first S-Rank character we get from this gachapon is not Zhu Yuan, the game ensures that the next one on the same banner will be her.

Once your gachapon leaves the store, it will be added to the rotation and will return eventually.

Best equipment for Zhu Yuan in Zenless Zone Zero

At its launch, there will be no more characters from the Ministry of Public Security. New Eridu and just one other Ethereal attribute character: Nicole Demara. Because of their additional technique, it is necessary to put these two girls on the same team to increase Zhu Yuan’s critical chance and the Ethereal attribute damage of both of them.

So who should be the third member of the best possible team for a Zhu Yuan build? We need a Stunner. If you are lucky enough to have one, By Lycaonis a great option, but we can’t ignore a character that we all have on the team: Anby.

This composition will change When version 1.1 arrives with the new characters Seth and Qingyi. They both belong to the New Eridu Ministry of Public Security, so they activate Zhu Yuan’s ‘Additional Technique: Armed Cooperation’, so they could surely be an important part of his team depending on his kit.

The problem is that, at the time of making this guide, we don’t know what the attributes or techniques of these characters are. We’ll have to wait for more information to find out how they fit into Zhu Yuan’s team and build in Zenless Zone Zero

Best Amplifier, Disco Tracks and Bangbus for Zhu Yuan

Just like with weapons in Genshin Impact and the Light Cones of Honkai Star Railthere will be an amplifier perfectly designed for a Zhu Yuan build on its own accompanying banner: Mark VI Riot Suppressor. This amplifier Increases Ethereal Attribute damage by 50% and, when its user performs a Special Technique, gives it eight charges that increase Ethereal damage done by normal and quick attacks..

Unless you’re aiming for a “perfect build,” most players aren’t going to spend their precious Movies on the Amplifier banner. That’s why we’re going to recommend a few other Rank A options that can be the best Amplifier for a Zhu Yuan build if you have the right gear and upgrade materials.

Barrel rotor (A): Increases Critical Chance. Upon hitting an enemy with a critical hit, the wearer deals additional damage equal to 275% of their Attack. This effect can be activated once every certain amount of time.
Barrel rotor (A): When executing a support attack, increases the wearer’s Attack for a certain time.

As to Disc Tracksthe most suitable for Zhu Yuan’s build in Zenless Zone Zero es Chaotic MetalWhen you have four pieces it works better if you have Nicole accompanying you on the team.

Two pieces: Increases ethereal damage by 10%
Four pieces: Increases the wearer’s Critical Damage. When any team member deals additional damage via the Corruption effect, this bonus is increased for a time. The duration is refreshed with each activation.

To finish this section, the best Bangbus available for Zhu Yuan’s build at the launch of Zenless Zone Zero is undoubtedly Eco foodwhich enhances the Ethereal attribute.
