How GOOD is Zhu Yuan? Is she F2P friendly? | Zenless Zone Zero

With Ellens Banner coming to an end in about a week and Zhu Yuan on the Horizon you might wonder how good she is and if she will be worth your pulls and polychromes, especially if you are F2P. Or you don’t care about her strength at all and just wanna pull her for her, uhm, other reasons. So let’s have a look at how her kit works, how F2P friendly she is and what to expect and look out for.

[Unasinous]

That's very nice that her passive activates with ANY support character. Wasn't expecting that

[JeannMain]

I love the fact that her current best f2p team includes Nicole and Anby, love those two (and Billy ofc)

[oscarhung]

If you don't count Billy, that GYAT will never be power creeped

[blueflameSM]

I wasn't expecting a lot, but to get a free trial of her in the Chapter 3 story....I'm sold. I really like her kit.

[stieverhandittyaindra]

dont even know her entire kit, but she plays really well when trying her in the story. immediately fell in love with her playstyle and animations.

[silveraurora]

I knew she could use supports but I was still only thinking about nicole. Im happy to see that shes pretty f2p friendly. I was glad that we could use her in the story. Despite me using her completely wrong, she still did a lot of dmg. I cant wait! Gl everyone pulling for her!

[FDBC]

I was sad about losing the Ellen 50/50 but then I tried Zhu Yuan in the story and now I am no longer sad.

[justjuniorjaw]

Getting her because a DPS that you can play by just holding attack instead of mashing is perfect as a starter character to build while we wait for the meta to develop.

[NovaShion]

I'm so glad someone else noticed the Support synergy rather than the usual Attribute one and covered it in a video a lot of people will see!
Some people who were excited for Zhu Yuan were initially disappointed that "Nicole was the only pairing", but since that's not the case, Zhu pullers rejoice!

[The.QuasiOG]

Oh shit, I didn't realize her core wouldn't be strictly Faction/Element. I'm definitely pulling on her since I can use my Koleda/Lucy with her until I hit my 300 standard pulls to get Soldier 11. By then I'll hopefully have a decent amount of Anby/Nicole dupes

[BunbunFell]

They changed the stats of the w engine. Gives crit rate now too

[tyg-zwnn]

I mean if you don't have an S rank dps. She's worth the pull. Endlessly waiting is a bad idea when you have 0 s rank dps units. Powercreep will always happen. You need at least 2 to get started. Otherwise you will be waiting forever to play the game.

[Illysi]

You’re pulling Zhu Yuan because you think she’s hot

I’m pulling Zhu Yuan because I think Nicole is hot. We are not the same

[masrendra]

Nice content dude. Anyway, talking about Zhu Yuan's shotgun, its more of a rotating grenade launcher like Milkor MGL, then modified to fire three square-shaped attachments that each one have 6 grenade shells

[iamrick]

Tbh it's kinda hard to believe that starlight engine results in almost the same damage as her signature. I mean, I'm glad that if that's the case, but what's even the point of rolling on the weapon banner then?

[dotwav]

Thank you for this video. Up until now, I’ve been spending chromes for energy and thinking of whaling for zhu yuan just to complete shiyu but the realization that i don’t even get rewarded that much aside for bragging rights, made me just wanna fully gear my main team to BiS

[velvety]

This is a really excellent breakdown of her kit! Zero peer pressure on either your own analysis or need to pull.

[bloodmay]

According to what is currently known about release schedule, there won't be any other ether unit up until and including 1.3 (after that it's unknown, so it might be even longer than that). That's 12 weeks at minimum of no other new ether units (including A-ranks). So if you're of the mindset "I want ether anything to cover all my bases, including incomplete ether team or just ether dps" then she's basically a must pull. But if you're like me and think "if I can't have full mono team relatively soon, I don't want to bother" then she's a skip. Personally I don't like her playstyle (from what I got to try in the story), so it contributes to my "skip" decision, and I prefer focusing on more attainable goals. I have the ice team, and Grace, so I decided to build electric team next, and pull for Qingyi instead. If Seth is any good (despite being defense A-rank), I might put him in the 3rd slot. After that maybe physical, if I luck out on Jane Doe ;)

[Lavi]

My “other reason” for wanting her is that I want every character and W-Engine in the game. I’m f2p. I luckily got Ellen and her W-Engine very early(spent 50 pulls in total) so hopefully my luck doesn’t go down the effing drain.

[gigabyte]

I've saved up 143 pulls for Zhu Yuan, and with a few more days before her banner, I might be able to get even more. I'm really excited to partner her with Nicole!
