Introduction

The Team Leader of Criminal Investigation Special Respondent Team of the New Eridu Public Security. She is extra goofy inside with very serious shell on the outside. The moment Uncle Lee laid my eyes on her during CBT3 surprise 2nd banner and tested her, boi oh boi ... it was love at first sight.

Nothing changed much from her CBT 3 debut. there are some minor rebalancing from the devs to make things more interesting that Uncle Lee encounter. Still the same play style, high agility, moderate to high damage, sliiightly increased difficulty since she no longer pins minibosses, and more or less the stereotypical ranged DPS being a squishy one.

Comparison: CBT 3 vs. Now (V1.0)

miniboss suppressive fire is no more

in CBT 3, Zhu Yuan has the ability to pin miniboss to the point it will not move at all.

now, miniboss can still move despite being barraged by suppressive fire. yes. that's still the exact same gorilla miniboss... just bigger on v.1 and purple compared to CBT 3 white and slightly tiny gorilla.

Extra Auto-dodge

in v1 Zhu Yuan have auto-dodge function whenever Niece and Nephew holding the attack button + any direction despite the dodge is still in cooldown period. but also remember that this Auto-Dodge also have CD period.

Tactics, Explained

Rush, "Speed and POWEEEEERRR!!!"

no Uncle Lee is not talking of a certain member of a certain Motoring Journalist Trio... but Zhu Yuan literally needs to rush the enemies. because her initial attacks are melee kicks and punches. so just make sure to quickly close the gap! her agility in combat is really second to none. even Nekomiya is not this fast, nor this agile

Corrupt, "Use their own weapon against them"

People said Hollows corrupt. well... let's crank it up and use it against the monsters itself! Corrupt provide extra damage as well as interrupting the enemies. particularly useful against Dullahans... the white one... the one that teleports too much

Crowd Control, "Please disperse! Nothing to see here!"

after using EX, dodge counter, and/or Ult, Zhu Yuan will refill her Shotgun Shells. the indicator is on the top left corner right under her photo and HP bar. to trigger, hold the attack button. veeery usefull against large number of mobs...... just need to her them into a corner first though... or use Nicole EX or Ult

Nuke

as the name suggest, casting Zhu Yuan Ult with very high CDMG percentage will result in a very big kaboom. use this at Niece and Nephew's advantage for the Ethereal Bosses

if the GIF too fast, here, Uncle Lee Provide a Snapshot. 52.9k time at least 2.. with a half-built discs. not too shabby

Character Loadout

Zhu Yuan is through and through is a DPS. there's no doubt about it. just which style Niece and Nephew prefer ... well.. that's really up to you.

1st Role is Corrupt DPS. this is what she's reeeally good at. since the other Ether character is Nicole, she's practically stuck with her for at least 1.0. so pairing them with any of the Gentle House member is the only logical choice at current version. Uncle Lee like to pair with Anby for missions or runs that involves small number but very strong enemies (i.e minibosses, bosses) since Anby really helps with the chain attack trigger.

2nd Role is ... somewhat a subDPS with crowd control ability... a backup DPS if you may. this particular case is when faced with Robots bosses (i.e Zone 2 of HZ), but too many other mobs in between that Electro doesn't really give enough punches. Pairing her with Rina is a nice all-rounder combo for HZ runs ... but the case as of 1.0 is a bit too specific... while the other team comps are ... basically good for almost everything.
