Zhu Yuan, an upcoming S-Rank agent in Zenless Zone Zero, is set to have her own Limited character banner soon. Here's all you need to know about her arrival.

Character Overview

In Zenless Zone Zero, Zhu Yuan leads the Criminal Investigation Special Response Team in New Eridu Public Security. She comes equipped with her signature W-Engine in version 1.0.

Banner Release Details

Zhu Yuan’s Limited character banner drops on:

Date: July 24
Time: 5 am CT / 11 am BST / 3 am PT / 6 am ET / 8 pm AEST

This timing aligns with the start of the second phase of version 1.0, confirmed in an official blog post about the Unswerving Bullet event, which starts at 12:00 server time.

Character Strengths and Synergy

Zhu Yuan is the second Ether character in the game, next to Nicole Demara. She is expected to be strong with her Dash and Ether Attack combos. Her banner will also feature increased drop rates for A-Rank agents like Ben and Nicole. While Ben doesn’t synergize well with Zhu Yuan, Nicole is an excellent support for her.

W-Engine Banner

Alongside her character banner, Zhu Yuan’s signature W-Engine banner will be available for three weeks.

Current and Previous Banners

Current Banner: The first official banner features Ellen, a powerful Ice Attack carry, with her signature W-Engine Deep Sea Visitor. Increased drop rates for A-Rank characters Anton and Soukaku are included. This banner lasts until July 24.
Ellen Joe: Ellen is an incredible Ice damage dealer with a fun and fast-paced playstyle, making her one of the strongest characters in the game.

Pull Strategy

While Ellen Joe is an excellent choice, you might want to save your resources for Zhu Yuan, who is expected to be one of the best units in Zenless Zone Zero. Specializing in Dash and Chain Attack combos, Zhu Yuan will be the first and only Ether Attribute S-Rank agent, making her a valuable addition to your roster.

Save your pulls for Zhu Yuan when her banner goes live to take advantage of her unique abilities and strengths in the game.
