Zhu Yuan will be the featured character on the limited banner in ZZZ. The banner starts on July 24 and will go on for. If you are a lucky owner of Zhu Yuan or planning to get her, this guide provides essential information on Zhu Yuan Build and Teams.
Zhu Yuan Overview
Zhu Yuan is an S-rank character that specializes in attacking. She excels at dealing significant ranged Ether damage and quickly applying corruption to enemies. Her kit allows for damage increase if the enemy is stunned, making her a formidable force. Zhu Yuan also offers strong build and team options for free-to-play (F2P) players.
On the downside, you are very limited in your choice of teams. A stun character is a must-have for her team. Also, she is the only character from her squad, which means she cannot use unique stun buffs.
Zhu Yuan Best W-Engines
The strongest W-Engine for Zhu Yuan is, without a doubt, Riot Suppressor Mark VI. It provides her with bonuses for ATK, and Crit Rate and increases her skill damage. We should also say that this is her signature W-Engine, meaning it’s not only the best for damage output but also aesthetics. Equipping this W-Engine will unlock Zhu Yuan’s special effects.
Alternative W-Engines:
- The Brimstone (S-Rank): Available on the standard banner, it allows you to get more ATK by dealing damage to enemies.
- Cannon Rotor (A-Rank): Obtained through the premium battle pass, enhances ATK and Crit Rate.
- Starlight Engine (A-Rank): A F2P option available via the standard banner, alternatively it can be bought in Box Galaxy shop. It provides an ATK buff from dodging or performing assits.
Zhu Yuan Best Drive Disc sets
Zhu Yuan benefits from two primary Drive Disc sets: Chaotic Metal and Woodpecker Electro. Alternating between these sets ensures optimal performance. Prioritize stats such as Crit Rate/Damage, Ether Damage, and ATK, with sub-stats focusing on Crit Rate/Damage, ATK%, and PEN.
Chaotic Metal is the best option. It is made for Ether characters which is perfect for Zhu Yuan. It provides Ether and Crit Damage buffs. Party members that trigger corruption on an enemy can add to this Crit Damage buff.
Woodpecker Electro is the second option. It provides ATK and Crit Rate buffs that are also useful for her. This option is only good if you have better substats than on chaotic metal Drive Discs.
Zhu Yuan Skills Priority
Zhu Yuan’s largest damage source is her basic attacks; this should be your priority. Core skill provides buffs to damage if the enemy is stunned, making it a high priority. Dodge skill is last on the top priority list; it allows her to use Shotshells while dodging.
Upgrading Special and Chain attacks only increases their damage, which is not a priority from the start. It is best to upgrade them after the primary skills.
Her Assist is last on the list as it does not provide significant damage or buffs.
Zhu Yuan best team options
Zhu Yuan best F2P team
Zhu Yuan is an Ether-type character, so it makes sense to pair her up with the only other Ether character in the game, Nicole. Two Ether characters can apply corruption effects on enemies faster, which is perfect for Zhu Yuan. Nicole also lowers the enemy’s defense, which is beneficial for the whole team. Remember that Nicole is a featured A-Rank on Zhu Yuan’s banner. You can get her and even some copies without any problems.
Anby is the best stun character for this team. She has great synergy with Nicole because they are both part of the Cunning Hares.
There are a lot of Bangboo options. Resonaboo will be the best addition to the team due to its crowd control and Ether damage. Devilboo is a solid A-rank option that also specializes in Ether damage.
Zhu Yuan best team
Lycaon is currently the best stun character in the game, making him the optimal choice for Zhu Yuan, and allowing her to increase her damage output.
Rina has great synergy with Lycaon because they are from the same squad, making her the best support in this team, providing Zhu Yuan with a PEN ratio buff.
Butler is the best support Bangboo for this team, as he provides a significant amount of energy. He grants additional energy if there are two or more characters from Victoria Housekeeping on your team. Booressure is an A-rank energy provider, a good option if you do not have Butler.
We hope that this guide answers your main questions about Zhu Yuan’s best builds and teams. Remember that you are not locked into the options we gave you. The game allows for experimentation and testing, so if you find another team or build more comfortable for you, you can use that instead.
