Zhu Yuan

Zhu Yuan Build Summary — ZZZ S-Rank Ether Attack

The best Zhu Yuan build in Zenless Zone Zero (Version 3.1) is Cordis Germina with Chaotic Metal 4-piece and Woodpecker Electro 2-piece, CRIT DMG% = CRIT Rate% / ATK% > Ether DMG% = PEN Ratio% / ATK% main stats. Prydwen's 19 Aug 2026 tier list ranks Zhu Yuan T1.5.

The best W-Engine for Zhu Yuan in Zenless Zone Zero is Cordis Germina — Seed's signature edges out the rest by a slim margin. It piles on CRIT Rate, and at max Electric DMG stacks grants 20% DEF Ignore on Basic Attacks and Ultimates; Zhu Yuan cannot use the Electric DMG part, but she makes excellent use of the DEF Ignore. If you don't have it, The Brimstone, Riot Suppressor Mark VI, Marcato Desire, Starlight Engine are solid alternatives.

For Drive Discs, run 4-piece Chaotic Metal with 2-piece Woodpecker Electro, using Disk 4 — CRIT DMG% = CRIT Rate%, Disk 5 — ATK% > Ether DMG% = PEN Ratio%, Disk 6 — ATK% as main stats, and prioritise CRIT RATE and CRIT DMG on substats.

Level Basic Attack first, then Chain Attack, Special Attack, Dodge, Assist.

The best Zhu Yuan team (Dialyn + Nicole) pairs Zhu Yuan with Dialyn, Nicole Demara. DA Rank 274 — App. rate 0.03% | Avg. score 24,812
