Should You Pull for Zhu Yuan in Zenless Zone Zero? Answered

The core cast of characters in Zenless Zone Zero is pretty strong as is, but the new police officer of New Eridu can help strengthen your Ether-based team even further. If you’re wondering whether it’s worth pulling for Zhu Yuan in Zenless Zone Zero, here’s what you need to know.

Should You Pull for Zhu Yuan in Zenless Zone Zero?

The short answer is yes. It is absolutely worth pulling for Zhu Yuan in Zenless Zone Zero.

For the long answer, there are a few things to consider. For instance, her best team composition right now is very accessible and F2P-friendly. She doesn’t need a character from the same faction to proc her passive ability, and it can be done with any support character. This means that just having Nicole — the only Ether-based support in ZZZ right now — will get the job done.

Her F2P team gets rounded out with Anby, who is also an excellent stunner. Both Anby and Nicole are A-rank characters that can help bring out Zhu Yuan’s full potential, and both are easy to build. So yeah, you don’t need a whole ton of investment in other characters to make use of her. Contrast this to the Ellen Joe team, which requires Lycaon and Rina, or Soukaku as support. That’s a far more expensive team to build for the Ice element.

As for how many copies you need of her, I should point out that she’s great even at C0. However, if you really want to min-max, go for two copies to get her to C2.
