The story ofZenless Zone Zerorevolves around an apocalyptic catastrophe called the Hollows. This Hollow can create a corruption that turns people into Ethereal monsters. The original Eridu turns into ruins due to this catastrophe, but then, New Eridu emerges from those who survived the apocalypse. Now, New Eridu has even found a way toextract resources from the Hollows, allowing them to thrive and industrialize themselves.
Due to the monetization of Ether from the Hollows, bad people who try to benefit from it start to emerge, including gangs and fanatics. Therefore, it’s only natural that the city administration has an organization calledNew Eridu Public Security (N.E.P.S)to maintain order in the land. Among the many sections of the N.E.P.S is the Criminal Investigation Special Response Team, led by a captain namedZhu Yuan inZZZ.
Zhu Yuan Release Date In ZZZ - Zenless Zone Zero
Zhu Yuan’s release date inZZZis Jul 20, 2025, three weeks after the release ofZenless Zone Zeroon June 26, 2025. Her Signal Search banner will last until the end of version 1.0, on June 26, 2025.
Zhu Yuan is set to be an Ether-Attack character who hails from theCriminal Investigation Special Response Teamfaction of theNew Eridu Public Security. Not only is she a part of the group, but she’s also the team leader of the squad, making her a prominent figure in the Public Security team. This makes Zhu Yuan the secondEther Agent in the game, with Nicole being the first.
Zhu Yuan’s banner inZZZwill feature Nicole (Ether-Support) and Ben (Fire-Defense) as the featured 4-star characters. Nicole will likely work as Zhu Yuan’s best pair in herZZZteam composition due to Nicole’s ability to buff Ether and reduce the enemy’s DEF. As for Ben, he doesn’t synergize with Zhu Yuan or Nicole, but he’s a useful support if Zhu Yuan’s team includes either a Fire unit orsomeone from the Belobog Heavy Industries faction.
In the beta version, Zhu Yuan was marked as a Pierce character. The Pierce/Slash/Strike categorization is no longer used as it’s replaced by character specialty (Attack/Anomaly/Defense/Stun/Support), but it can still be seen on the Agent’s profile. This attack type category is stilla little relevant due to a Bangboowith an ability that activates if the team includes a Pierce character in it.
