Zhu Yuan IS INSANE! | Kit & Build Guide: (Disc Drives, W-Engines) - ZZZ

[@senelclark101]

Note: ZY’s additional core requirement is not another Ether unit, it has been changed to a Support unit in the team. Will not affect Nicole but you can now bring different Support units.

@@silthzear6440 Is Ignore and Shred the same or is there a difference in the calculation? Because if they are the same, isn't Nicole just a better Rina for this character?

[@Lustr1ous]

11:58 Correction, we can only get flat Pen from substats and Pen Ratio % from either the 5th Disk slot or the 2pc pen ratio disk drive set. While they're both pen and ignore defense, Pen only ignores defense by a flat amount (if you have 10 Pen and the enemy has 1000 armor, you ignore 10 armor) while Pen Ratio % ignores based on a percentage (if you have 10 Pen Ratio % and the enemy has 1000 armor, you ignore 100 armor). Nice video tho will be pulling for her when she drops.

[@GachaMogul]

Fair point! Good tip. I'll be dropping a good bit for her and her w engine as well. 🙏

[@dann8547]

I think pen ratio is a very important stat since bosses in shiyu defence are very tanky....for example if im building ellen the 5th slot for the artifacts i would go for pen ratio% rather than going for ice damage bonus or ATK%. I think that the more defense is ignored the more damage u can deal or maybe im wrong?

[@GachaMogul]

@@dann8547 yeah pen ratio can be very good. Ignoring def is always a good thing esp since they are so tanky like you said.

[@GachaMogul]

I can't wait to use Nicole (and probably Anby) again. I love those two units and I'm excited ZY is going to pull them back from the grave on my account lol!

[@eimanoh]

Am gonna pull her because: 1. Very fast and fun gameplay. dancing around the battlefield while doing heavy damage is fun. Ive played her missions multiple time just to test her out and i just keep loving her more and more. 2. Future proof. Ether stun will make her broken since they can both daze enemy easily and build up anomaly for zhu yuen so she can do that massive burst damage. 3. She hot. She hot. 🥰

[@GachaMogul]

All very valid reasons! 🙏 #3 being the most important ofc

The engine will be better in the long run! Talent 1 makes it so she can get way more shotshells back. I personally am going for engine first!

[@Tuskbumper]

I love her playstyle but im kinda scared to attempt rolling for anyone until im the end game i think. Im scared theyre going to drop in ether resistant units or something.

[@GachaMogul]

How the endgame currently works is kinda like that. Not sure about the unstable nodes yet, gonna see if I can get there tomorrow. But, it's mainly focused on type weaknesses for now at least

[@SPJ-88]

there will always be units that resist to each type of element, or even physical. So don't worry too much about it as Hoyo will always "encourage" you to pull many teams for different situations

Since the crit is so high, it really felt like she was able to pump out the damage enough, even without m1. But it is true that m1 REALLY makes her that much better

[@kishamorana384]

Hi, i lost the 50-50 on ellen banner and had to grind 81 pulls to get her guarantee- best ways to get polychromes are 1) grind the mewmew medals, gives 10 polychromes each 2) usually the mewmew medal quests give you EXP as well which helps to unlock more of the story = more polychrome 3) linked to the mewmew medals, make sure to go around all of the maps every morning, afternoon, and late night as different quests and commissions appear 4) grind the trust ranks 5) shiyu defense and hollows also give polychromes, for hollow zero i always pick the new augments just so i collect more for the polychromes from Ray 6) make sure to grind your EXP because these unlock the video archive missions and more of the story (after the Ch3 story you get Lycaon and Rina video archives) Hope this helps!

[@Derjeniche1510]

There's actually no need to walk around all the maps to check for Trust events and side quests.

Honestly she's not that broken, I believe future DPS like Ellen with "better" and more "convenient" methods to RECHARGE "bullet/elemental attack modifier" will powercreep her. Ellen is an excellent welcoming DPS because she can infuse ICE attacks with 100% uptime, short and simple while Zhu Yuan requires more complicated mechanic to "RECHARGE" one bullet at a time, which is MEH in my opinion in a fast pacing combat style game, this ain't genshin impact where you can perfectly proc character mechanic, it's chaotic most of the time especially during crowded group of enemies.
