Should you pull for Qingyi or Jane Doe in Zenless Zone Zero? – Destructoid

Qingyi and Jane Doe are the two upcoming five-star limited characters in Zenless Zone Zero and both seem to back a wallop. However, you only have limited currency to use for pulling, and often pulling both is a difficult endeavor for most people, so let’s talk about which one of these premium characters you should chase after.

Qingyi or Jane Doe: Who has the best value in Zenless Zone Zero?

To accurately assess the value of Qingyi and Jane Doe, it’s important to understand their roles and how they compare to their four-star counterparts.

Qingyi is an Electric Stun character renowned for her exceptional ability to stun enemies. In fact, her proficiency in stunning dwarfs that of Anby, the only other Electric Stun character currently available. Qingyi’s abilities go beyond mere stunning; she can amplify the damage multiplier of stunned enemies, significantly boosting the damage output of your DPS characters. This makes her a substantial asset to any team. What sets Qingyi apart is her versatility: she doesn’t need to pair with specific factions or elements. Instead, she thrives with any Attacker on her team, allowing her to seamlessly integrate into almost any lineup.

Jane Doe, in contrast, is a Physical Anomaly character with an impressive knack for activating the Assault status effect. She effectively replaces Piper in this role, who is already quite adept at activating Assault. Jane Doe’s primary strength lies in her superior DPS capabilities and her ability to quickly build up Assault, which is crucial for maximizing damage through combo status effects. However, her Physical typing poses a challenge. Given that Piper excels at building and activating Assault in challenging content already, Jane Doe’s role as a DPS character may not be as essential given Piper’s effectiveness.

Considering both characters and their contributions, Qingyi emerges as the more valuable long-term investment. Anby’s performance pales when compared to Qingyi’s, and while Piper is highly effective in her role, Jane Doe’s DPS capabilities might not justify replacing an already strong character. Qingyi’s universal stun ability and integration into any team make her an indispensable asset, whereas DPS characters, including Jane Doe, are often easier to replace as new options become available. Thus, Qingyi is the clear choice for a long-term pull.

Of course, pull what you like though. Overall, ‘Fun Factor’ is an aspect of character collecting in a gacha game that should still be considered, especially when pulling a new character. If you don’t enjoy a character, then forcing meta upon yourself will kill your fun in the long run. Keep that in mind.
