Transcripts
Hey Guoben here. It’s Zhu Yuan time. She has the highest personal burst DMG in the game right now,
even beating Ellen, at the trade off of a weaker on field presence due to her kit and shotshell
management. Today I’ll be going through Zhu Yuan’s kit, all of her combos I could find that are
useful, and then I’ll show you all my calculations for her best build, with w-engines and disk
drives. I’ll discuss teams at the end because she is probably the most flexible DPS in terms
of teams thanks to her new additional ability. So like sub and share if this helps, and let’s begin.
Zhu Yuan is an Ether element Attack type character, so our very first Ether DPS.
She has the 2nd highest base ATK in the game at 919, just under Ellen, and her ascension stat
will be CRIT DMG, allowing her to start off with a base 78.8% rather than 50% at max level. For
skill priority level her basics first, followed by Chain, then skill, then assist and dodge.
Onto unique UI elements. In the top left you’ll see a total of 9 Enhanced Shotshell slots.
Zhu Yuan will be generating these through various means,
and then using them to deal a ton of damage. Think of it a bit like Ellen’s Flash Freezes.
She can generate and use much more of these in a short amount of time though,
and she has a lot of ways to generate these Enhanced Shotshells. You’ll use
these to enhance her basic combo and dash attack, gaining access to some hard hitting Ether blasts.
So Zhu Yuan’s standard basic attack string, Assault Mode, is composed of 5 attacks.
But in fact there is a hidden 6th attack where she slides after her basic 4 and 5.
This doesn’t show up anywhere in game as far as I can see as an extra multiplier,
and it doesn’t count as a dash attack as that also doesn’t have the same multiplier as this.
We also know it’s not basic 4 or 5 because it doesn’t generate a Shotshell. But anyway,
consider it as a special extra basic attack 6.
After performing a full basic attack string,
you will skip the first two basics on your next basic rotation, so you can basic 1 2 3 4 5 6,
and if you continue using her basics, it will skip straight to basics 3 4 5 6.
So our first combo is 6 Basics then 4 Basics. Her 4th and 5th
basic attack in the string will be giving her 1 Shotshell each,
so this combo generates 4 Shotshells for us. Since the 6th basic is kinda a DPS Loss,
we can remove the last one and shorten our combo to 6 Basics and then 3 Basics.
She has a normal dash attack like every other character,
and then a new dash attack that can be weaved into her basic strings,
which you can only activate a certain way. These dash attacks can be triggered by inputting left or
right on your movement keys then your basic attack key only after using a basic attack.
You cannot forward or backwards dash during her basic string, so remember, left or right.
Weaving these into her basic combo will change how her combo performs, but you can only do it
by inputting left or right during her basic attack mashing, you cannot do the same thing by pressing
your dodge then basic buttons like a regular dash attack, these are two different things.
This dash attack can change how her basic string works depending on when you use it.
If you basic 1, then weave in the dash attack, then basic,
you skip the basic 2 and go to 3. This provides a DPS gain at the trade off of some energy.
Basic 2 + Dash Attack only adds a Dash Attack, and does not skip Basic 3,
so this is pointless to use other than dodging. Basic 3 + Dash Attack will repeat her Basic 3
on her next Basic, and this will keep looping. I would avoid doing this as you really want to
get to her Basics 4 and 5. Basic 4 + Dash Attack
has no benefit like Basic 2’s one. Basic 5 + Dash replaces the weird slide Basic 6,
and you’ll actually want to do this to chain to her second basic rotation as it's much faster.
So taking all of these things into consideration, our new on field combo is.
Basic 1, Sidewards Dash Attack or Basic 2, Basic 3, Basic 4,
Basic 5, Sidewards Dash Attack, Basic 3, Basic 4, Basic 5, Swap or Stop.
When inputting these movement keys during her basic attacks she can in fact dodge
attacks too which is really cool, just like a dodge would. So you won’t have
to cancel her combos as long as you’re a pro and can time her weaving dashes.
Now let’s move onto her enhanced basic string, Suppressive Mode. These will be
consuming the Shotshells in the top left, but first, how do we gain all of these?
Firstly, Normal Basics 4 and 5 generate one each as we saw before.
Her EX Special will also generate Enhanced Shotshells, this time generating three.
A Dodge Counter will generate 1 Enhanced Shotshell.
A Quick Assist, so coming in after a Support EX or Chain, will generate 1 Enhanced Shotshell.
An Assist Follow Up generates a whopping 3. You get these from swapping into Zhu Yuan
just before an attack hits an ally, and then inputting a basic attack.
Finally her Chain Attack and Ultimate will also generate 3 Enhanced Shotshells.
So consuming these lets us upgrade our basic attack string into Suppressive Mode. This must
first be activated by holding her basic attack key and then continuously holding
it. This will do a cool side backflip and then she will enter the Suppressive Mode and
start using Enhanced Shotshells. Upon using certain abilities and then holding basic,
she can enter this mode without backflipping, allowing you to skip the no damage animation for
some DPS gain. Two core abilities that can do this are her EX and Ultimate. So after the EX or Ult,
you can hold the basics directly and skip the backflip and go straight to Suppressive Mode.
Her Enhanced String consists of 3 Enhanced Basics. Basics 1 and 2 do the same damage
and each will consume 1 Shotshell. Basic 3 consumes 3, but does triple the damage.
Now since you’re holding your basic key, you can’t do dash attacks like
her normal string can. Instead, to dash attack with her enhanced combo,
you’ll need to just input a directional key but still hold onto the basic key. You’ll
want to input this during the animation of the previous attack. Unlike the normal basic string,
you can forward, backwards and side dash attack during the enhanced string. Side dash is good for
dodging and weaving into her basic string, back dash gives you some distance from a scary boss,
and forward dash gets you closer to said scary boss. I recommend only really using
side dashes because again these can be used to alter her combo. But if you don’t know,
ranged units have damage fall off the further you are, so getting close is necessary for top damage.
So these enhanced dash attacks consume enhanced shotshells too,
and they have the same multiplier as her enhanced basic 1 and 2. Let’s see how her side
dashes can change her enhanced string this time. Charged Basic 1 into Side Dash skips Charged Basic
2 and goes straight to 3. This is a DPS loss but if you need to dodge, it’s essential to use this.
Charged Basic 2 into Side Dash lets you weave in a dash attack but doesn’t skip anything.
Charged Basic 3 however into Side Dash skips past the next 2 Charged Basics
straight back to Charged Basic 3, which is really powerful for a burst combo.
So her normal enhanced basic combo is Hold Basic
until she shoots 3 different times for 5 shots total. This consumes 5 Shotshells,
but she has a maximum of 9. Another string would go to 10, and it isn’t very fast to do twice.
We will alter this in our favor using Dashes as sidewards dashes can be weaved into her combo. So
her best combo with 9 Shotshells will be Hold Basic until her 3rd Enhanced Basic,
with the possibility of replacing her Second Hold Basic with a Dash Attack.
Then after this first string, you’ll have 4 Enhanced Shotshells left. Dash Attacking
after the 3rd Enhanced Basic consumes one, and skips straight to Enhanced Basic 3,
for the final 3 Shotshells to be consumed in a fast amount of time.
So our full burst combo now that we have our enhanced combo is:
Have 2 enhanced Shotshells before stunning a boss from a standard combo. Stun the boss, Zhu Yuan
chain, Support Chain, quick assist into Zhu Yuan, EX Special into hold basic until EBA 3,
Sideways Dash, EBA 3. Then EX Special into Ultimate if you have it. If you don’t have either,
then swap off. If you only used one of them, do EBA 1 2 and then weave in any
directional Dash Attack. If you used both of them, you can do EBA 1 2 3 and then that
same Dash attack. Basically just dump all your Shotshells onto that stunned boss.
As for her Core Passive, it will increase her DMG during her Enhanced Basics and further increase
them specifically if the enemy is stunned, further reinforcing this Stunned Burst playstyle she has.
Her additional ability is insane and very flexible. A 30% 10 second CRIT
Rate buff for Zhu Yuan after using an EX special,
Chain, or Ult. Considering weak enemies that get their Daze bars one tapped,
she will have this buff up a lot. During her burst rotation, it’ll be up the whole time. Amazing.
Let’s quickly check out Mindscapes, but first for her very long M1 as it’s very strong.
With her M1, Zhu Yuan will gain a Quick Reload effect after her chains or ults,
giving her an instant 6 or 9 Shotshells respectively after dropping to 0. This
doesn’t do anything for our burst rotation damage wise since we are maximizing Shotshell usage,
but it is a lot of quality of life as you can now enter with no shotshells, and still perform
her maximum combo without needing her ultimate and EX. It also let her do a very high damaging
standard rotation one time after her burst combo, for the highest on field non burst damage so far.
But this is only once per burst combo, and after she drops back to her weak on field damage. If
you can spam tons of her chains though, her on field power becomes excellent versus trash.
M2 gives interrupt quality of life as well as a DMG% buff,
not Vulnerability, to her enhanced basics and enhanced dash attacks.
M4 is pretty insane with a 25% Ether RES ignore during
these same enhanced attacks. Lots of damage.
M6 is actually pretty weak in our simulations as she doesn't necessarily always consume
12 Shotshells in between EXs, and this is only an 880% MV increase.
The energy quality of life is good but we didn’t find a way to use it well.
Onto builds and we will speedrun this. Go for Chaotic Metal or Woodpecker Electro
for best consistent damage. Considering she won’t really be played on field,
Chaotic Metal has the best potential whilst also having a good secondary set to farm with it,
unlike Woodpecker that has the Ben Set. Puffer Electro is also usable since she
is all about that stun window damage wise and not about on fielding as much,
but you’d need to have good ultimate generation, so up to you.
For your 2 piece go whatever set you didn’t go as a main,
so Chaotic if you went Woodpecker, Woodpecker if you went Chaotic. Puffer 2 piece also works.
For main stats go for a CRIT Rate 4th slot, Ether DMG% 5th slot,
and ATK% 6th slot. She has a lot of DMG% already but the 5th slot does not
get beaten by PEN or ATK% regardless. On substats prioritize CRIT and ATK%,
aiming for a 70% CRIT rate cap as you don’t want to overcap with her Additional Ability.
For W-Engines here is the full list. And I warned you that her signature isn’t as crazy
as it seemed. She gets a ton of CRIT from her set and additional ability,
and Nicole too if you count her. She also has a cap of 70% CRIT rate if you don’t want to overcap.
For DMG% she’s got a ton of it as well, and this DMG% doesn’t apply to every attack anyway, and so
she saturates in all 3 stats. Combat ATK% is what she is lacking and it is so strong. Combined with
the fact that her kit is about basic attacking, it’s no wonder that the Brimstone is just behind
or even beating her signature. Remember this is considering an endgame crit ratio, the
worse your disks are, the better her Signature is. Starlight Engine for the same reason is yet again
the GOAT thanks to the combat ATK%, and Cannon Rotor and Street Superstar are left in the dust.
For teams she can conveniently use any support in the game or units from her Faction,
making her the most flexible DPS in the game on top of having the highest burst damage, feels bad.
This means we can steal any support stun combo so far in the game and just use it with her instead.
So Nicole Anby is a classic, just remember Nicole’s debuff uptime is very small even
considering the black hole duration. Also Nicole’s Ether DMG is not vulnerability,
that is misinformation, it is just DMG% and therefore is pretty saturated.
This is a free to play friendly and strong team.
Lycaon Soukaku works if you want to rip it away from your Ellen,
but you miss out on all those ice dmg bonuses that make the Ice team so incredible.
Koleda Lucy is fantastic and allows for a very quick swap heavy playstyle,
swapping in Lucy to quick assist into Zhu Yuan into Koleda parries into chain attacks. Very fun
and strong. It’s also stronger than Nicole Anby from some calculations until Nicole hits M6.
For bangboos I would go for Resonaboo into multiple enemies for some amazing
quality of life with grouping, and then Devilboo versus bosses
as it hits like a truck in single target from what I have played.
So lemme know if you’re pulling for Zhu Yuan and maybe her w-engine. Like and
sub and share if this helped, thanks for watching, and have a guoba day.
