The Best Builds for Ye Shunguang in ZZZ

As a classic representative of the Attack, the senior student needs to pump up her standard combat characteristics - ATK и critsSignature equipment and bonuses that the heroine receives when entering combat can quickly increase her critical hit chance, so when considering the "lower" stats in drive discs, priority should be given to them. crit damage.
Selecting a Thermocycler
The ideal weapon for Ye Shunguang is her signature "Orb," which offers bonuses to her damage output. However, when equipping it, it's important to keep in mind that the passive is directly tied to Ethereal Veil. If Xiao Guang is the only one in the party capable of activating the special field state, a more accessible weapon with stable effects can be chosen.
![]() ATK 50-743 CRIT DMG: 19.2-48% |
Damage to owner is ignored 20-28% physical resistance of enemies. After activating "Etheric Veil", damage dealt and the K/U indicator are increased by 25-40%Duration of effect - 40 sec. (when triggered again, the duration is updated). | A signature that meets the agent's basic requirements. The bonus, which allows you to ignore enemy targets' physical resistance, is a very powerful addition, significantly exceeding the standard stat and damage boosts overall. |
![]() ATK 46-683 ATK: 12-30% |
When a basic attack, dash attack, or counterattack after dodging hits an enemy, the attack power of the agent with this item is increased by 3.5-7% for 8 sec. (stacks up to 8 times, triggers once every 0.5 sec., the duration of each level is calculated separately). | An amplifier from the standard banner, which can be used as a replacement for any S-rank "ball", because the attack power boost will also have a good effect on DPS. |

CRIT damage increases by 30-48%When a hero equipped with this amplifier hits an enemy with a non-lethal attack, skill, or aftershock, they gain 1 stack of the boost: each stack increases their damage by an additional 1 stack. 10-16% for 30 seconds (maximum 3 levels, each duration is calculated separately). Using one skill can only have this effect once. When a character accumulates all three stacks of the boost, he begins to deal damage 20-32% more electrical damage. |
A decent weapon for further boosting critical damage. Can be used as a replacement for certain activities, or on a permanent basis. |
![]() ATK 48-713 Crit Rate: 9.6-24% |
![]() ATK 48-713 Crit Rate: 9.6-24% |
![]() ATK 46-683 Crit Rate: 9.6-24% |
| Alternative five-star rarity options that increase damage per second as a primary bonus. They can help balance stats, but will be inferior to the options discussed above if the heroine's damage per second already reaches or exceeds 70-80% in combat with all buffs. |

What drives are needed?
Among the basic equipment options for the Cave Hunter, there is an ideal option, created with her gameplay features in mind:
![]() 2 parts: physical damage +10%. |
A signature set that offers a bonus to her physical attribute and critical chance, allowing her to focus on boosting her damage output through her secondary stats. However, for stability, it's important to have someone else on your team besides Xiao-Guang who can maintain Aether Veil. |
The set can be combined with the following kits:
- "The Song of the Branch and the Blade" — critical damage +16%;
- Fugu-Electro — penetration chance +8%;
- "Dyatlokor-electro" — critical chance +8%.

| 2 | Attack Power (fixed) |
| 3 | Protection (permanent) |
| 4 | CRIT DMG > ATK > crit chance |
| 5 | Bonus physical attribute ≥ ATK > penetration percentage |
| 6 | ATK |

- crit dmg — 180-200% and higher;
- crit rate — 40-50% before entering the battle;
- HP — 9 and more;

Ye Shunguan's Squad Guide in Zenless Zone Zero

In the teams, Ye Shunguang is assigned the role of hyper carry, therefore (de-)buffers are selected for the second and third positions. S-Rank Agent Zhao She can be considered a necessary ally due to her ability to maintain Etheric Veil along with other attractive bonuses. Without it, the Cave Hunter's effectiveness won't decrease, but her squad will become less flexible.
Best allies
The heroine will demonstrate a high level of synergy with the following agents:
| Character | Features |
![]() |
Signature Defense, a solid foundation for any effective squad with a Senior Apprentice. Restores health, quickly refreshes Ethereal Veil, helping build Heavenly Blade charges, and offers other buffs such as increased ATK and a damage bonus. Spends minimal time in the arena, preferring to play from the "pocket." |
![]() |
A powerful stunner that attacks from the "pocket" and increases the enemy's vulnerability multiplier while stunned. It also increases the squad's overall damage and triggers an additional attack chain. |
![]() |
Another signature support ability that acts as a stunner. It quickly stuns enemies, further extending the stun duration. It provides a DPS bonus and allows you to use your ultimate without consuming decibels. |
![]() |
An equally attractive ally option for the second position. It extends positive effects to the target and increases the damage of "Chain Attack" abilities. It also allows you to accumulate decibels beyond the normal range. |
![]() |
She excels thanks to her main passive: when her Aftershock hits an enemy, she applies a vulnerability multiplier. With her signature ability, she can chip away at targets' defenses, offering more useful buffs. |
![]() |
A benchmark representative of its class: it provides a boost to attack power, critical hits, and overall damage, and also makes it easier to quickly access "quick help." It also features a healing function that activates when activating its ultimate. |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
Budget support options:
|
![]() |
The Strongest Defense, often used in high-level content, is due to the powerful shield that can protect against incoming attacks of any strength (even lethal ones). |
Best team samples
The heroine's deposit is activated if there is an agent in the group Defense or Support - Take this into account when composing your squad.
| Character 1 | Character 2 | Character 3 | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
Ye Shunguang | Dialing | Zhao Astra Yao | Dialing focuses on stunning enemies, while Zhao focuses on activating Ethereal Veil. This tandem is the strongest because it perfectly covers Xiao-Guang's needs. If Astra is used, only Ye Shun-Guang can cast the Veil. |
Ye Shunguang | Ju Fufu Normal value Trigger | Zhao | Ju Fufu, Norma, and Trigger are good replacements for Dialing. Tigress allows for ample decibel accumulation and increases the damage of her ultimate. Sniper can apply a stun multiplier from her "pocket," and Young Engineer triggers a chain of attacks after holding down B/A and increases damage. |
Ye Shunguang | Astra Yao Lucia Elowen | Zhao | A group option with a stable Support, which will also allow Zhao to be more present on the battlefield. This will have a positive impact on the Aetheric Veil refresh rate and, consequently, the accumulation of stacks for the Heavenly Sword meter. Astra can be replaced with Lucia, who offers good bonuses that increase DPS. However, keep in mind that the caster is more suited to Destruction and is underperforming in this team. |
Ye Shunguang | Zhao Alexandrina (Rina) | A group with consistent damage output from two Assault units. The Cave Hunter will be well supported by second- and third-slot units actively attacking from the outside. | |
Ye Shunguang | Nicole Demara | Zhao | A more budget-friendly option where Support can pull enemies in before the Senior Apprentice's powerful burst. |

How the skills work
The Cave Hunter is an attack-type fighter who, like Shifu of the Yunkui Mountain School, has a unique attribute - The tip (physical) During battle, it fills the gauge Powers of the Heavenly Sword to activate the enhanced state "Epiphany"Thanks to him, the girl transforms into the snow-white master Xiao-Guang and begins to inflict increased damage on enemies.
There are only two ways to accumulate charges for the second stand:
- Fast - use of superpowers.
- Standard — activation of various skills and assistance from allies whose skill set includes skills for summoning and maintaining the "Ethereal Veil."
Once the heroine reaches level 6 of "Strength," the entrance skill "Reflection" becomes available. This activates "Insight," which revolves around alternating between enhanced basic and special attacks. When the boost ends, the rotation repeats.
Let's take a closer look at each skill section:
- Basic attack и Special Attack: Main source of DPS in normal and enhanced form.
- Evasion: standard set of dashes and counterattack.
- Help: Use the entrance skill "Reflection" to transform into the snow-white warrior Xiao-Guang.
- Chain of attacks: One of the options for activating Insight and an additional source of damage, where the ultimate skill, Illusion Dispelling, works as an exit from the second form.
- Primary Passive Skill: All abilities slowly fill the meter, and after entering Empowered Stance, any charges accumulated beyond the limit are converted into bonus stacks of "Guardian." Entering the battlefield applies the "Unity" buff, which grants +15% critical chance and +10% DPS. Activating "Insight" by any means creates "Ethereal Veil: Verdict"—enemies entering the field's area of effect are afflicted with the "Veil Vulnerability" debuff.
- Additional ability: Requires a Support or Defense agent in the squad—granting 3 charges of Heavenly Blade when an ally casts any Ethereal Curtain. If the second stance is active, Strength is converted to the Guardian effect level.
The order of pumping skills
Makings > basic attack = special attack (EX) = chain of attacks (QTE) > evasion > help
First of all, resources are invested in strengthening inclinations, which contain the personal bonuses of the cavern hunter. Next, priority is given to the set basic и special techniques, which are the main skills in both normal and enhanced stances. Chain of attacks has a slightly lesser importance, but leveling up skills in this category is still necessary to increase overall DPS.
The best eidoses

Mental picture of a senior student:
| M1: Someone from Dreams | Upon entering the battlefield, the agent gains 6 Heavenly Sword Power (in reconnaissance mode, this effect is triggered once every 180 seconds). The Unity bonus from the primary passive skill, Searing Clarity, provides an additional 10% damage and allows the agent to ignore 20% of the target's defense. |
| M2: Light and Shadow |
|
| M3: "The Swordswoman" | Level of b/a, evasion, assistance, special attack and c/a - +2. |
| M4: "Together to the ashes" | Upon entering the battlefield, the Huntress gains 1,000 decibels (in Recon mode, this effect occurs every 180 seconds). The maximum vulnerability bonus in Aetheric Veil: Verdict is increased to 200%. |
| M5: Guiding Light | Level of b/a, evasion, assistance, special attack and c/a - +2. |
| M6: Bright Hopes |
|
The best cons of Ye Shunguang can be called first, another one и fourth eidosEach of these parts of the mental picture simplifies the process of activating the enhanced form of "Insight" and directly affects damage through third-party bonuses.
M1 и M2 will be an ideal investment at the start and will bring more benefits when compared to a signature amplifier.
How to play as the heroine

The Cave Hunter has a simple rotation:
- At the start of the fight, have your support cast Ethereal Veil to build up half of your Heavenly Blade meter. Then, switch to the Elder Disciple and attack with basic attacks and special skills.
- If there's no signature support in the group, start with the Huntress and try to fill her unique meter as quickly as possible. This can be done with any skills, including her ultimate, if you have enough decibels.
- Once you have 6 Power charges, activate Entry Skill: Reflect by holding down the b/a button or using Quick Aid to enter the Insight stance and create Ethereal Veil: Verdict.
- The next set of skills are improved versions of non-attackable skills and skills that consume Heavenly Sword Power. They are the main source of DPS over a large area.
- The Super can be used either before entering Insight to instantly gain 6 Force Power charges, or after to reactivate the enhanced state.
These steps are repeated with the periodic release of other units that buff the heroine.
Is Ye Shunguang worth knocking out?

Awarded the title of Cavern Hunter, Ye Shunguan is the strongest Offense unit in Zero's Zenless Zone. Her standout feature is her vulnerability multiplier, making her immune to stun windows and, consequently, to allies with stuns. Depending on the opponent and her personal playstyle, her team can be equipped with a variety of supports, taking her already impressive DPS to the next level.
The heroine is well-equipped with built-in buffs that simplify builds and stat balancing. Being a common damage dealer, she has a wide selection of gear. Her skill requirements and straightforward gameplay make her extremely friendly to F2P players and newcomers with limited Agent variety on their account. These features make Xiao-Guang a promising fighter, capable of covering all future endgame content.

I lost it to Signe. I have Zlatovsvet now, would it be better to put Sulfur? It seems like Sulfur's passive isn't much better than Zlatovsvet's.
After Banyue, because of this, the character began to degrade during the fight, and this disgrace also shits effects so much that mobs and their attacks are not visible, and Shinguano gets punched in the face for no reason, and this scum also managed to lose twice in a row
Getting punched in the face with a character like that is a total skill issue🤣
I'm a little confused about the attacks. Which attack chain do you think is the most effective when the Force is fully charged (while in Insight)? And what's the best combo to use with a charged Ultimate? Just double-Q or something else?
I've watched all sorts of guides, where everyone presses buttons in every way imaginable, but I just don't understand how some people get out of Insight with three stacks of Sword? Then they press Veil of Zhao for three stacks and then back to Insight.
I didn't read the deposits, why should I?
Additional ability: Requires a Support or Defense agent in the squad—granting 3 charges of Heavenly Blade when an ally casts any Ethereal Curtain. If the second stance is active, Strength is converted to the Guardian effect level.
ps: Or is this not it?!
No, it's not. Rather, it describes the moment when you activate your own ultimate for decibels or transfer your ultimate from Dialing. The ultimate grants 6 stacks immediately and activates the stance, but if Shuni had any stacks of the sword before activating, they remain even after receiving 6 stacks from the ultimate. BUT, no more than 3 stacks remain—the rest are lost when the ultimate is activated.
Looks like an additional ult for DD from Dialing. I need to watch the video where it gets 60k+. I don't think I'll try to make an M2 with it; I'll just get Sanna, since the guarantor is more useful for packs. They're still introducing new imb anyway, and writing off the old ones with all sorts of blocks.
I don't know who boosted the "LMB Queen," but Xiao Guang is more difficult than most characters in the game. Of course, she doesn't reach the level of Banyue's stuffiness, like any other character, but in terms of mechanics and rotations, she's much more difficult than Miyabi and Yixuan.
