ANY ZHU YUAN PULLERS?!??!?! (me) TO PEOPLE USING A CN CALC AGAINST MY AND OTHER EN TCS CALCS: Upon doing many tests this CC looks to have made a mistake in interpreting how the signature w-engine works. Refer to my community post for more detailed info. I believe my calcs to be correct as they use all in game tested multipliers and simulated proper stack building and rotations. NOTES: - Made a mistake but I consider Basic > Chain > EX = Dodge > Assist to be the proper level priority. I put Dodge one too low by accident, but it scales the dash attacks that we are using in all these wack combos, so levelling it helps a lot (after the rest)!
Her EX also has a dash version (hold a direction while pressing skill) that lets her skip BA2/6 like a dash basic attack, so she can do BA1>EX dash>BA345 to quickly generate 5 shots in one combo, or even 8 if you have enough energy for another EX at the end. It works between BA4 and 5 as well.
She feels a lot like an S rank version of Billy. Her special dodge is even part of Billy’s attacks too. Zhu just has more depth to her combat, like Billy was a starter version of her.
She has AoE crowd control like nicole too, this is another s tier like ellen does idc if people said she wasnt, she provide huge value to team just like ellen
@yudhihi The reason I decided to pull is because I know Nicole is great and getting her mindscapes seems good. Wound up getting zhu in the first 20 pulls.
i suffered not pulling on Ellen just so I could guarantee Zhu Yuan because her attack rotation is the most satisfying thing to me in the game so far. damn right i'm gonna pull for her.
You're the only one to mention it and it's why you're my go too guide maker. Yes her weapon isn't a massive increase but it doesn't mean it's not useful, It can just be completely made up for with gear. im pulling it myself for that ease of building, and I also want R5 nicole weapon (and M6 her hopefully she's at 2 for me atm) since she's my favorite support
I usually dont write youtube comments and just watch guides when I need to but this was so comprehensive and easy to understand I legit enjoyed any minute of it. Thank you so much
Thanks for the vid. I was planning to pull for her because i didn't get Ellen, but seeing how fun and dashy Zhu Yan is, I'm quite happy to have lost the 50/50 😅
Super helpful to see her attack animation/kit breakdowns. I definitely feel the mission demo with her didn't quite give me as good a feel for how her kit works and what she wants to do, so this helps a lot.
Your calm delivery makes everything very easy to understand. Love your clear reasonings and also the fact that you provide calcs for burst and non-burst DPS. It’s ultimately what made me bring out the 💳 for Ellen’s weapon but I don’t regret it lol
Definitely getting her. She was super fun to play in the Chapter 2 Interlude, and the writing since then, including the recent trailers, has only made her more endearing. I'm glad her signature doesn't have a big leg up over other W-Engines, but in a bizarre way, it makes me want to take a risk and try to get Ellen's signature before the banners swap over. I want Ellen to remain strong, and given that I don't have Lycaon yet, her W-Engine would be the best to way to ensure that. I wanted to avoid topping up in this game for a while, and winning the 50/50 for Ellen gave me the leeway I needed to do that. With how many wishes we get during these early patches, I was on track to still be able to get both Zhu Yuan and Qingyi even if I lost one or both 50/50's.
Just pulled her (after losing the 50/50 to Grace, which I'm really not complaining about) and I came straight here to figure out which W-Engine to use, as I can't afford to pull for her signature after that 50/50 loss. Thanks so much, as always. Really appreciate all the work you put into this stuff.
Let's go! Everyone's favourite dorky cop badass. Gonna pull, loved her gameplay during her sections. Thanks for the guide and tips on her attack rotation, will reference it as I progress Shiyu content!
My mind goes blank when I try and remember all the specific combos. Thankfully she's pretty intuitive to play and definitely strong whether you suffer from skill issues or not.
In my experience only using a team with her so far, learning a basic attack sequence is useless since you shouldn't be using it to begin with without shells. That time is much better spent on field with a stunner to open the enemy up quicker, as Zhu Yuan has no problem getting her shells. I do stun > chain attack, ending with support (Nicole) > quick swap to Zhu Yuan > fire 3 shells > ult/ex > backswap to Nicole, doing so partway through the ex animation if I used it > Nicole ex > quick swap > fire shells until stun runs out, rinse and repeat until enemies are dead
It's finally just clicked to what Guoba's videos remind me of that makes me enjoy them more than other guides; they're like the Gacha game version of the Monster Hunter World guides uploaded by Arekkz Gaming that cover literally everything you'd need to know
Zhu Yuan is just a Tekken character😭 Her combos are so intricate and well designed you can't help but get on one knee and thank Mihoyo for truly outdoing themselves. I'm currently running Lycaon, Zhu yuan and Nicole, not the most orthodox set up but Lycaon's quick stuns pare well with Zhu yuan's stun buff and allows me to easily punish bosses
Great guide as always! I see Lucy being played in a ton of teams, but I'm not too sure on how to play her. Any chance we could get a Lucy or just overall support guide?
I’ll try to get her M1, she’s very fun I wasn’t convinced but I think in this game a dps so versatile like her will be rare, Ellen I think it’s strong but she relays in a premium team and her signature to be that strong, Zhu yuan feels different in that sense.
i love the fact that hoyo is finaly making a somewhat mechanically challenging kits to execute and i hope they keep upping the diff of them, unlikely since that would gatekeep a lot of players but there is a chance
I got her! And I didn’t understand why she had a « bad » dps compared to my Ellen, but when I did a full rotation Anby/Nicole and THEN switched to her, quick burst combo and was shocked that the enemies were already dead she has such a strong burst it’s impressive
I managed to win 50/50 right on the 75th pull. Very happy man, I have both Ellen and Zhu Yuan, and Lycaon and Koleda for each. I'm only a monthly buyer and I exhausted most of the polychromes at this point tho. Safe to say I'm skipping W-Engines. Characters just open up more possibilities.
definitely wanted her since the release and was amazed of being lucky enough to get her and engine with only 40 pulls. (1/4 of what I need on Genshin for a new 5* banner character where I'm cursed since the beginning) I play awfully, I know, but really enjoy the quick swap and pad marteling style of this game. very satisfying. but my starting team composed of Grace / Nekomiya / Amber isn't quite suited to her, so I came here to see how to improve it. Thanks.
I don't know if I am lucky or what but I got 2 Resonaboo's in 1 multi in the bangboo banner. And it was back to back. Still glad I won my 50/50 for Zhu Yuan and also got Nicole M6 and Ben M6. Will not pull for her weapon and stick with Starlight engine! Hoping to get to R5 right away! Thank you Gouba for another great guide!
I’m not sure if this was mentioned or has any significant impact on rotations, but after a dodge counter, Zhu Yuan immediately starts at her 3rd basic. I think this should at least make regular dodging with her viable (if not more practical/easier to execute) as a dodge counter gives 1 ammo, and finishing the combo would give 2 more
Me before watching the guide: Oh boy I wonder what Zhu Yuan kits are? Me after watching the guide : ➡➡⬆↘⬅⬆ Uppercut ⬇ Grab = Zhu Yuan's Rolling Death Cradle
She came home early for me. Was trying to get cinema unlocks for Nicole and build pity.. Was planning a cunning hairs side two team (Nekomata, Nicole and Anby). Well now i have the Either vs Physical damage flexibility depending on enemy line up. Not complaining. Ellen is my side 1. Got a Sokakau cinema along the way. Win there too
Assuming you got Nicole at C6 and her weapon, would you still go for crit rate disk in slot 4, or crit damage instead? With her Core passive+ Nicole+ WEngine+2p Woodpecker, she gets to 73% crit rate, so with even a few CR subs she'll sit at 80%+ with pretty much guaranteed sources
Got Lycaon followed by Zhu with my 95 pulls and I'm very happy since those were the two I really wanted. Might just stick with one of the A rank W-Engines since I'm unfortunately not made of money and I'd rather save my pulls for Jane Doe when she drops. Thanks for the tips, much appreciated
Guys, guess who pulled her WHILE watching the video🤩 thanks for the tips! I have a little question tho, bc im really bad at the build, teamcombination, etc. things. my current team is ellen, anby, grace and i am planning to put zhu yuan and nicole in my 2nd team. do u think nekomata would work as 3rd member? because sukakou doesent really feel like she should be in this comb for me, but what do you think?
11:44 What you said just made me pulled for her weapon. My luck with artifacts, relics, and disk drives are always worse, so yeah, I pulled for her weapon for an easier time building her. I'd rather pay money than spending energy day by day gambling inside a domain for eternity until the end of time to find only HP%, Def%, Hp, Def 😓
In between combo part 1 and part 2, probably a good idea to swap nicole back in for buff refresh before quick assisting back to zhu yuan. Having the buff is 100% worthwhile just costing a few seconds out of stun window. I’d also burn ult first in part one (instead of EX) if you have it available.
managed to get her along with my first copy of rina in the same 10 pull, winning the 50/50 at around 80 pity. Now have the guarantee for whoever I decide to pull on next
So around 5:21 when zhu yuan is doing her suppressive mode attack, qinyi (pardon the spelling) appeared. Is this the same as when you pair ben and koleda?
When you say Nicole's Ether Dmg is not vulnerability it's dmg% bonus, are you talking about her Passive "All squad members deal 25% more Ether Dmg to the target for 3.5s"?
I think it should be mentioned that if you nabbed M6 Ben with Cylinder and don't have an invested Anby, I think he is by far the best in Slot for a casual player running Zhu/Nicole. His stun capability is extremely high for a non stun unit, his damage in quick swap in to counters is huge and he also applies an immense shield for comfort. Anbys faction bonus is really mediocre and Ben can live without his own. He can also solo anything in the game if you're having trouble with Deaths. Unlike Anby, Ben won't be interrupted whilst trying to daze enemies and has much better crowd control. I think there's a reason he is on this banner and many will likely hit his M6 chasing Zhu and Nicole.
Love the videos! Been following you from your HSR vids, love that your stuff is backed by calcs. I have a question though, specifically about Anby combo. Is there a reason to do 3 NA/Thunderbolt vs 3 NA/Skill then Thunderbolt?
Got her weapon in 10 pulls by accident while trying to get a copy of Nicole's weapon and now I'm feeling kinda bummed after finding out it isn't that much better than Brimstone. Still grateful tho.
I think the review an overview is perfect, but I did wanna ask why CRIT on slot 4 over CRTD? since her passive and Nicole's attack/crit rate buff wouldn't CRTD be better? o: o am I crarzy
A quick tip that should work wonders with her that I was already using with Nicole + Anton vs bosses: Providing Nicole isn't the person to trigger Stun, you can do this: -Nicole Chain attack (1) Wait out the Chain window and trigger DPS quick assist. Quick assist sets off the next Chain attack -Nicole Chain attack (2) DPS quick assist into their rotation. This let's you stack up two anomaly fields on top of each other and already did massive ether damage with just Nicole. Does mean you don't get the ammo from Chain attacks, but maximizes the stun duration and pretty much guarantees you'll trigger attribute anomaly. It also gives you the maximum DPS uptime during Nicole Defense Shred when she's got her last mindscape that stacks up crit over time and saves her EX for a second minor burst window later in the stun if you have time. Not sure how viable it is because my pull luck is terrible, but getting to do 2/4 quick assists on Anton in burst mode back to back literally carried me before the patch.
Something really odd about this vid, I looked up "Zhu Yuan Guide" and nothing, and then looked up "Zhu Yuan Guide Guoba" and still nothing was only able to get here by going directly to the channel, who knows whats up with the algorithm
I love this character, I'm so glad I won the 50/50. It's great that her current best F2P is with Nicole and Anby, but would it be bad to replace Anby with the blue girl? I got her M6 and I really wanna use her

ME!!! I saved so much Q-Q
i have to skip her for lycaon sadly
10 pulls on 0 pity with a dream
Definitely ready for her plus at a good pity to get her
Pulling her bc I have a feeling we won’t get another Ether (DPS) unit for a while
mad respect for preparing guides for 2 different games and releasing them back to back 🙏
thank you :)
i like that record
yeah, and theyre so detailed too. this is just crazy respectworthy :D
Gouba : Here is her optimal rotation.
Me : Nah, I'll Hold Attack like I'm Jiyan.
Real
Even tho I know I can hold it, I always mash the LMB LMAOOO.
thats what i love about the combat in this game :D
Damn, a Yunli video there and a Zhu Yuan video here?, Guoba is on fire right now
one hour till another :skull emoji:
And the new March 7th, Gouba is cooking
@@W-H98 his cooking would make even Xiangling jealous
@@SmashTheAdamhe *is* guoba...
Her EX also has a dash version (hold a direction while pressing skill) that lets her skip BA2/6 like a dash basic attack, so she can do BA1>EX dash>BA345 to quickly generate 5 shots in one combo, or even 8 if you have enough energy for another EX at the end. It works between BA4 and 5 as well.
Brother, I can't praise you more. Your content is incredibly deep. Made lots of discoveries today watching your vid. Tyvm!
Means a lot

Frequent viewer here. I aint pulling her but I'll definitely recommend your guides to my friends for their first hoyo game. Your guides are too good
tysm!
I've watch 8 guides in the past 3 hours, I NEED HER NOW
Synergize with Nicole and having Nicole in the banner is reason enough to pull Zhu Yuan ❤
True 😌

damn right i'm gonna pull for her.
13:06 biggest Guoba block of the year 🤣
Thank you for guide Guoba. Hope you continue to pump out guides for ZZZ as it doesn’t look like all guide CCs are sticking with this game.
You're the only one to mention it and it's why you're my go too guide maker.

Super detailed, yet easy to digest video yet again. I'm impressed how easily you simplified her complicated kit. Thank you so much as always, Guoben.
The only video game guides I download on my yt premium thanks a lot

Let's go! Everyone's favourite dorky cop badass. Gonna pull, loved her gameplay during her sections.
Thanks for the guide and tips on her attack rotation, will reference it as I progress Shiyu content!
I see... I don't get it
now im feels very bad for spending my resources on her weapon... damn, why i didn't saw this video before it
i spend all my disks summons on ethereal dmg, is kinda ok bc i can turn it to nicole, but still hurts
3 guoba guides in one day. We eating good tonight
My mind goes blank when I try and remember all the specific combos. Thankfully she's pretty intuitive to play and definitely strong whether you suffer from skill issues or not.

Thank you guoba hope you get that certification soon 🙏
thanks
Thanks for the just in time video! It really helps out especially knowing I can skip signature and go for M1 instead with Brimstone.
Brimstone and +5 Starlight Engine both are very close to her Sig.
brimstone + m1 is awesome gl :D
I just started the Koleda Lucy ZY team, very very fun! Thank you for the guide!
The combo showcases were pretty good, thanks a lot 👏
I JUST got Zhu Yuan and her signature W-Engine. Looks like I’ll be maining her for the time being.
MASSIVE PULLS GRATZ :D
Very nice. Congrats on getting her and the sig.
Glad I could find a familiar channel in order to watch a guide for. I never know what new creators to check out.
hello :)
Thank goodness for your character guides!!!!
lookin at this video gives me PTSD from fighting games movelists
Thanks for the quick guide guoba!
no problemo!
You missed a few things! I just put out a video going over some of the weird interactions that can happen in her combos that can cause a big dps loss.
Honestly the free crit damage and CR is tempting since I lost the 75/25 anyway. Might get it for Ellen lol
Love how comprehensive and easy to digest your content is bro. Im skipping Ellen for her. Hope i win the 50/50 lol thanks for the guide
Good luck on her banner.
Hope you win!
Can always count on quality guides here.
Thank You form Keeping Keep in the CC echosystem , green clean and straight down the middle. Our go to place to that’s drama free
As always great job. Thanks Guoba
Easy sub and I'll be coming to you for character guides now. I respect the straight facts and style!
I feel like I'm cursing my pulls by watching these before the banner is even live here, but here. We. Go!
best one so far, insane work my guy !
Thanks for the guide - especially for the combos! I'mma watch it again later because I kinda got info overloaded.
Bruh same, my brain is not braining. Might as well just unga bunga
I did, and she is incredible 🤯
Glad I pulled for her instead of Ellen
Great guide as always! I see Lucy being played in a ton of teams, but I'm not too sure on how to play her. Any chance we could get a Lucy or just overall support guide?
Can do but I think rivenous will have one soon too
I’ll try to get her M1, she’s very fun I wasn’t convinced but I think in this game a dps so versatile like her will be rare, Ellen I think it’s strong but she relays in a premium team and her signature to be that strong, Zhu yuan feels different in that sense.
i love the fact that hoyo is finaly making a somewhat mechanically challenging kits to execute and i hope they keep upping the diff of them, unlikely since that would gatekeep a lot of players but there is a chance
people can barely time S11’s attacks, idk if they’re gonna get more complicated than Zhu Yuan tbh
You make the best hsr guides and I'm really glad you're doing zzz
I got her! And I didn’t understand why she had a « bad » dps compared to my Ellen, but when I did a full rotation Anby/Nicole and THEN switched to her, quick burst combo and was shocked that the enemies were already dead she has such a strong burst it’s impressive
GOATba with the multiple guides tysm for your vids
The reroll time has come and so have I
I really hope that you will create such a detailed guide for Qingui when she releases. Appreciate what you are doing!
It’s me or some of this tech weren’t mentioned in her skill details in the game they should put these in the move list. Very detailed video
Ty for the great video! Would love to see an in-depth Grace guide!
Need a koleda build guide, this is amazing btw, feel like i messed up on some characters builds tbh
I managed to win 50/50 right on the 75th pull. Very happy man, I have both Ellen and Zhu Yuan, and Lycaon and Koleda for each.
I'm only a monthly buyer and I exhausted most of the polychromes at this point tho. Safe to say I'm skipping W-Engines. Characters just open up more possibilities.
definitely wanted her since the release and was amazed of being lucky enough to get her and engine with only 40 pulls.
(1/4 of what I need on Genshin for a new 5* banner character where I'm cursed since the beginning)
I play awfully, I know, but really enjoy the quick swap and pad marteling style of this game. very satisfying.
but my starting team composed of Grace / Nekomiya / Amber isn't quite suited to her, so I came here to see how to improve it. Thanks.
I don't know if I am lucky or what but I got 2 Resonaboo's in 1 multi in the bangboo banner. And it was back to back. Still glad I won my 50/50 for Zhu Yuan and also got Nicole M6 and Ben M6. Will not pull for her weapon and stick with Starlight engine! Hoping to get to R5 right away! Thank you Gouba for another great guide!
glad to know that the one brimstone i pulled from standard can be put to good use
I’m not sure if this was mentioned or has any significant impact on rotations, but after a dodge counter, Zhu Yuan immediately starts at her 3rd basic. I think this should at least make regular dodging with her viable (if not more practical/easier to execute) as a dodge counter gives 1 ammo, and finishing the combo would give 2 more

I was so confused I thought a fake Guoba Certified account popped up! Subbed!
Just got her and her W-Engine i am more than happy!
GRATZ ! 🐻🎉
Thank you Guobs.
Thanks Guoba!
Guys, guess who pulled her WHILE watching the video🤩 thanks for the tips!
I have a little question tho, bc im really bad at the build, teamcombination, etc. things. my current team is ellen, anby, grace and i am planning to put zhu yuan and nicole in my 2nd team. do u think nekomata would work as 3rd member? because sukakou doesent really feel like she should be in this comb for me, but what do you think?
Is there a reason for not using 2pc Hormone Punk? I'm guessing it's because it's regular atk% and not combat atk%?
11:44 What you said just made me pulled for her weapon. My luck with artifacts, relics, and disk drives are always worse, so yeah, I pulled for her weapon for an easier time building her. I'd rather pay money than spending energy day by day gambling inside a domain for eternity until the end of time to find only HP%, Def%, Hp, Def 😓
In between combo part 1 and part 2, probably a good idea to swap nicole back in for buff refresh before quick assisting back to zhu yuan. Having the buff is 100% worthwhile just costing a few seconds out of stun window. I’d also burn ult first in part one (instead of EX) if you have it available.
managed to get her along with my first copy of rina in the same 10 pull, winning the 50/50 at around 80 pity. Now have the guarantee for whoever I decide to pull on next
i lost on ellen to grace but i'm still glad because i got zhu yuan (relatively) early :3
By some miracle, not only did I win the 50/50, but I also got her w-engine (and Nicole's) in 20 pulls
A pretty strong start as far as Gachas go
Thank you!
So around 5:21 when zhu yuan is doing her suppressive mode attack, qinyi (pardon the spelling) appeared. Is this the same as when you pair ben and koleda?
Another banger from the G(u)OAT(ba)!!!! Feeling pretty blessed right now with my 2 copies of brimstone!
When you say Nicole's Ether Dmg is not vulnerability it's dmg% bonus, are you talking about her Passive "All squad members deal 25% more Ether Dmg to the target for 3.5s"?
Pretty much
Yep. Testing with ether dmg mainstat and it does not provide a 1.25x damage amp (vulnerability) instead it saturates
Thanks for the guide
I think it should be mentioned that if you nabbed M6 Ben with Cylinder and don't have an invested Anby, I think he is by far the best in Slot for a casual player running Zhu/Nicole.
His stun capability is extremely high for a non stun unit, his damage in quick swap in to counters is huge and he also applies an immense shield for comfort. Anbys faction bonus is really mediocre and Ben can live without his own. He can also solo anything in the game if you're having trouble with Deaths.
Unlike Anby, Ben won't be interrupted whilst trying to daze enemies and has much better crowd control. I think there's a reason he is on this banner and many will likely hit his M6 chasing Zhu and Nicole.
Im pulling for big ben lol. Off meta lets goo!
Love the videos! Been following you from your HSR vids, love that your stuff is backed by calcs. I have a question though, specifically about Anby combo. Is there a reason to do 3 NA/Thunderbolt vs 3 NA/Skill then Thunderbolt?
damn, imma need a fight pad for these controls.
Hi Guoba! Quick question, what Chaotic Metal uptime did you assume for the calcs in 10:20?
how about starlight p1 ??? its hard to get a p5 right of the bat.
Got her weapon in 10 pulls by accident while trying to get a copy of Nicole's weapon and now I'm feeling kinda bummed after finding out it isn't that much better than Brimstone. Still grateful tho.
I think the review an overview is perfect, but I did wanna ask why CRIT on slot 4 over CRTD? since her passive and Nicole's attack/crit rate buff wouldn't CRTD be better? o: o am I crarzy
A quick tip that should work wonders with her that I was already using with Nicole + Anton vs bosses:
Providing Nicole isn't the person to trigger Stun, you can do this:
-Nicole Chain attack (1)
Wait out the Chain window and trigger DPS quick assist. Quick assist sets off the next Chain attack
-Nicole Chain attack (2)
DPS quick assist into their rotation.
This let's you stack up two anomaly fields on top of each other and already did massive ether damage with just Nicole.
Does mean you don't get the ammo from Chain attacks, but maximizes the stun duration and pretty much guarantees you'll trigger attribute anomaly. It also gives you the maximum DPS uptime during Nicole Defense Shred when she's got her last mindscape that stacks up crit over time and saves her EX for a second minor burst window later in the stun if you have time.
Not sure how viable it is because my pull luck is terrible, but getting to do 2/4 quick assists on Anton in burst mode back to back literally carried me before the patch.
Glad to hear her wengine is an extremely minor buff over SE. The gacha for wengines is way too expensive.
Something really odd about this vid, I looked up "Zhu Yuan Guide" and nothing, and then looked up "Zhu Yuan Guide Guoba" and still nothing
