Best Teams for Zhu Yuan
Two of the best characters to pair with Zhu Yuan are going to beAnbyandNicole. Both will provide ample Stun and Support to ensure that enemies will be stunned frequently and trigger the Corruption effect as often as possible. Zhu Yuan and Nicole are both Ether Damage dealers as well, so the Corruption effect is going to be a huge source of damage for this team in particular and the really nice part of having them in a team together is that they will both activate each other’s core skills. Anby will be used to stun, Nicole will decrease enemy defense, and Zhu Yuan will be used to deal damage. Another bonus is that this is essentially a free-to-play option for those not looking to spend any cash in hopes of getting another character to pair with Zhu Yuan.
Another option for a team setup is a bit harder to get your hands on.LycaonandAlexandrinawill be the two S-Ranks that work very well with Zhu Yuan. Both fulfill the Stun and Support slots for your team. Since Zhu Yuan deals more damage to stunned enemies, you’ll always want a stun specialist on her team to really take advantage of her kit. Lycaon works well due to his ability to increase the stun multiplier on enemies, and Alexandrina can buff the entire team’s PEN Ratio to ignore an enemy’s defense. You won’t be building up Corruption as often with this team, but you will be making good use of all three characters' kits.
Zhu Yuan is a solid attacker for your teams inZenless Zone Zeroand has a ton of variety in how her combos play out while in combat. With the two modes of attack, she is one of the most versatile characters in the game. Make sure you’ve worked to get the materials to upgrade her skills as well to increase various pieces of her kit as well. At first, these bonuses won’t seem like much but they will slowly compile into making her hit harder and better through these upgrades. Once done, you’ll have one of the harder-hitting and most fun S-Rank characters available in the game!
