Best Gear for Zhu Yuan

Gearing Zhu Yuan consists of multiple parts in Zenless Zone Zero. You have to pick your weapon (which is called W Engine), pick your discs that make set and set bonuses and they can have random stats on them, so those random stats should also fit the kit. Let’s go through all of them since we tested them all:

Best W Engine for Zhu Yuan

Really straightforward, we used the W Engines in Zenless Zone Zero that make sense with Zhu Yuan kit and the optional setup and this is how they perform. Unlike other sources we don’t give you only one recommendation since you might not have that available:

Also, without meaning to disrespect other sources so please don’t get me wrong, these are the test results of actually running them with the best builds and not just theorycrafting them. There is a huge difference in actually seing them work alongside the ideal stats with the kit and not just looking at the stats that could potentially benefit the kit.

Best Disc Sets for Zhu Yuan

Now let’s take a look at the disc sets, they can make 2-piece and 4-piece bonuses so you will end up with various different combinations and here is what our test results give:

For use in Overall Teams, these are the disc set setups you should aim for:

Disc Stats for Zhu Yuan

Here’s where the real fun starts. Stats on the discs also need to match the kit to make sense. While the main stats on the discs 1-3 are fixed, the ones on your

Best Build for Zhu Yuan in Zenless Zero (Gear, Stats + Skill Priority) - AllClash (14)

So, this means you are looking for your disc 4, 5 and 6 piece to have these main stats. Do not use other items unless you need to make the set bonus and be prepared to swap them out later!

The possible main stats yu can get are somewhat random, so here is what we recommend:

Disk 4 should be either Crit Rate or Crit DMG (if your Crit Rate is below 75% for sure go for Crit Rate if possible), Disk 5 should be Ether DMG and with Disk 6 you can go for ATK.

You might see some alternatives around, but honestly this is first of all a very strong basic element of the kit and also you don’t want to upgrade any discs just to swap them out later so rather wait for the ones with the right stats and then upgrade them then messing around with alterntive stats, upgrade them, see that your kit is lackluster and then upgrade the right one. Just a huge mess and waste of resources and energy at the end of the day.

Sub Stats

And in the last part, all disc items have random sub stats that should ideally also match. Here are the ones you want to look out for

Best Build for Zhu Yuan in Zenless Zero (Gear, Stats + Skill Priority) - AllClash (15)

Crit RateIncredibly important and you should aim to ideally have it on every single disc item as sub stat. At a minimum it should be on 4 discs.

Skill Priority for Zhu Yuan

Leveling your skills can be the make-or-break point in building your agents in Zenless Zone Zero! Each character has different rotations so not all skills are equally important in terms of spending resources in leveling them. Farming the resources will cost you precious energy that you might miss on a different spot so you don’t want to spend those resources leveling skills that are not really worth leveling or could be spent better somewhere else.

Skill Upgrade Order for Zhu Yuan

We have spend tons of time to tailor the ideal upgrade order of the skills for Zhu Yuan so you will spend your resources where you get the biggest bang for your buck and have your sweetspots where they really make a difference. This means you can upgrade more agents faster instead of being stuck upgrading them one-by-one:

Best Build for Zhu Yuan in Zenless Zero (Gear, Stats + Skill Priority) - AllClash (22)

Basic Attack - Level 5 her Basic Attack is the center of her kit so it should be the first skill you actually level. Period. Don't be shy here and get it to Level 5 before anything else

Best Build for Zhu Yuan in Zenless Zero (Gear, Stats + Skill Priority) - AllClash (23)

Chain Attack - Level 5 her Chain Attack overall is also important so do that next. It might be debatable if you can make it Level 3 and then do the next upgrade but I honestly think there is not much difference overall in that so I recommend Level 5 right away

Best Build for Zhu Yuan in Zenless Zero (Gear, Stats + Skill Priority) - AllClash (24)

Special Attack - Level 3 not quite as important but still responsible for quite a bit and you should have the Basic Shock Chips lying around anyway so make this your next upgrade

Best Build for Zhu Yuan in Zenless Zero (Gear, Stats + Skill Priority) - AllClash (25)

Dodge - Level 3 not too crazy impactful but since you will have to farm more Advanced Shock Chips for the other upgrades below and you very likely have the Basic Shock Chips lying around this is an upgrade that still does something and is not worthless and should be done

Ideal Core Skill Enhancement

Same with the Core Skill Enhancements – not alll are worth the resources you need to invest and this depends on the bigger picture of all agents, the meta, the teams and everything else in Zenless Zone Zero so this is the maximum of investment we recommend unless you really want to whale out here:

Please mind, this is a recommendation based on resources VS effect. Of course, getting more Core Skill Enhancements is better on paper, but the effect compared to the costs makes it less valuable and will slow down your overall progress of building your agents in Zenless Zone Zero.

Conclusion

I hope this guide helped you building your agent the right way. Again, we spent throusands of hours testing our builds and recommendations to not just give you the ‘BEST’ build that is unrealistic for 95% of the players to reach but rather give you a priority and path to build. Faster progress and more fun in Zenless Zone Zero is the goal, not spend a ton of money. If you have questions please post a comment below and we will be happy to help.
