Zenless Zone Zero’s Version 2.0, "Where Clouds Embrace the Dawn," drops on June 6, 2025, and all eyes are on Yixuan, the first S-Rank Ether Rupture specialist. With her banner hitting soon, you’re probably wondering if she’s worth your Polychromes. This breakdown looks at her kit, team fits, and place in the meta to help you decide if you should go for her or hold off for other banners.

Why You Should Pull For Yixuan

Unique Role as Rupture Specialist

  • Yixuan’s the first to bring the Rupture specialty, built for smashing enemy shields and unloading big damage on staggered foes. She’s a beast in stuff like high-level Shiyu Defense or tough endgame fights where shields are a pain.
  • She works great with stun characters like Ju Fufu (Fire, Stun, also in 2.0) or Lycaon, boosting your team’s stagger damage.

High Damage Potential

  • Her Ether damage and Rupture skills let her hit hard, especially on single targets or shielded bosses. Her ultimate and core skills shine when enemies are staggered, making her a solid DPS for specific fights.

Team Flexibility

  • Yixuan slots into Ether-based teams (like with Astra Yao, who’s getting a rerun in Phase 1) or mixed teams with stun and support units. Her Yunkui Summit faction also pairs nicely with Pan Yinhu (A-Rank, Physical, Defense) for faction bonuses.

Future-Proofing

  • Rupture’s a new mechanic, so Yixuan could be a big deal in future content focused on shield-breaking or stagger strategies, keeping her relevant down the line.

Why You Might Want To Skip Yixuan

Niche Role

  • Rupture’s great for shielded enemies but less useful in fights needing raw DPS or AoE. If you’ve got heavy hitters like Ellen or Zhu Yuan, she might not add much unless shields are your problem.

Resource Management

  • Pulling Yixuan means spending Polychromes that could go toward Ju Fufu (Phase 2), a stun specialist who might be more useful overall since stun works in most content.
  • If you’re free-to-play or short on pulls, you might want to save for characters that better fit your team or future banners.

Team Dependency

  • Yixuan needs a stun character to really shine, as her damage relies on stagger windows. Without someone like Lycaon or Ju Fufu, she might not hit as hard as other DPS who stand on their own.

Verdict

  • Pull If: You need a shield-breaker, like building Ether teams, or want a character with a new mechanic that could dominate later. She’s a strong pick if you’re also going for Ju Fufu for synergy or need a carry for stagger-heavy endgame content.
  • Skip If: Your roster’s already got solid DPS, you don’t deal with shielded enemies much, or you’re saving for other banners like Ju Fufu. Budget players might get by with A-Rank options like Pan Yinhu.
