Hello everyone, and welcome to this comprehensive guide on Pan Yinhu, the formidable anthropomorphic panda from Zenless Zone Zero, who will be released in patch two point zero. Pan Yinhu is an A-rank physical character who wields the Defense W-Engine Type. In today’s video, we will explore every aspect of Pan Yinhu’s kit, from his basic stats and attack combos to his mindscape cinema levels. By the end of this guide, you’ll have a deep understanding of how to maximize his potential in any team composition, so let’s dive right in.
For Pan Yinhu’s ability level priority, first level his chain attack, second level his special attack, third level his assist, fourth level his basic attack, and lastly level his dodge.
For those aiming to optimize Pan Yinhu’s performance in endgame content, here's a breakdown of his recommended stats at level sixty. Attack should be two thousand six hundred, H.P. should be twelve thousand, defense should be two thousand five hundred, impact should be one hundred forty-five, anomaly proficiency should be two hundred fifty, anomaly mastery should be eighty-seven, critical rate should be fifty percent, and critical damage should be one hundred percent.
Since Pan Yinhu is an A-rank character, you want to aim for Mindscape Cinema Six to maximize his potential.
Pan Yinhu’s A-rank Signature Defense W-Engine has a base attack of six hundred twenty-four and energy regeneration of fifty percent. The equipment user's EX Special Attack and Ultimate damage are increased by twenty-five percent. When any character in the team takes damage or recovers H.P., the equipment user recovers two energy points. This can only be triggered once every five seconds.
Alternate A-rank W-Engines that Pan Yinhu can use are Spring Embrace, Original Transmorpher, Bunny Band, and Peacekeeper - Specialized. A B-rank W-Engine that he can use is Base.
For Pan Yinhu’s drive disc set options, Proto Punk is his best. Its two-piece effect increases the shield effect provided. Its four-piece effect states that when any squad member triggers a defensive assist or evasive assist, all squad members deal increased damage for a certain duration. For the extra two-piece set, use Swing Jazz.
Alternatively, Pan Yinhu can use a four-piece set of swing jazz. Its two-piece effect increases energy regeneration. Its four-piece effect states that when a squad member launches a Chain Attack or Ultimate, all squad members deal increased damage for a certain duration. For the extra two-piece set, use Proto Punk.
For Drive Disk four, use either a critical damage percent main stat, an attack percent main stat, or an anomaly proficiency main stat. For Drive Disk five, use either a physical damage percent main stat, an attack percent main stat, or a penetration ratio percent main stat. For Drive Disk six, use either an impact percent main stat, an energy regeneration main stat, or an anomaly mastery main stat.
For Pan Yinhu’s drive disk substats prioritization, first prioritize Attack Percent, second prioritize Critical Rate and Critical Damage, third prioritize anomaly proficiency, and lastly prioritize either Penetration or Flat Attack.
Since Pan Yinhu is a defense character, he can be played in any team. However, Pan Yinhu’s best team is himself, Yixuan, and Ju Fufu.
There will likely be a Yunkui Summit bangboo, so use that in Pan Yinhu teams.
Let’s talk about Pan Yinhu’s fundamental attributes. At level sixty, he sports a hefty health pool of eight thousand four hundred thirty-five H.P., reflecting his role as a sturdy frontline fighter. His base attack sits at six hundred fifty-one, providing solid damage output, and he comes equipped with seven hundred twelve defense, which helps absorb incoming blows. With an impact of ninety-four, he can stagger most opponents, and while his crit rate is a modest five percent, his critical damage is a healthy fifty percent. Pan Yinhu’s anomaly mastery is set to zero, but his anomaly proficiency stands at a respectable ninety, indicating he can interact with anomaly-based mechanics when needed. He has a penetration rate of three percent, allowing his attacks to bypass a small amount of enemy defenses, and he passively recovers 1.56 energy per second when off-field. These numbers position Pan Yinhu as a durable striker capable of both dealing and withstanding significant damage in battle.
Now let’s break down Pan Yinhu’s basic attack, known as the Martial Combo. By tapping the basic attack button, Pan Yinhu strikes forward up to four times, each hit dealing pure physical damage. The first hit comes in at just over one hundred percent damage, with a multiplier of one hundred point three percent and a daze multiplier of thirty-eight point one percent. This initial strike generates a modest zero point two nine four energy and six point eight four seven five decibel gain while building twenty four point one eight anomaly points on the target. The second hit deals slightly less damage, ninety-six point five percent, but increases the daze multiplier to sixty-two point seven percent, nets one point five zero one energy, and contributes 11.455 decibels, while ramping up anomaly buildup to 41.77. The third hit roars in at 219.3 percent damage with a daze multiplier of 133.7 percent, provides 3.19 energy, accumulates 24.365 decibels, and brings anomaly buildup to 88.58. Finally, the fourth hit delivers a massive 439.8 percent damage with a daze multiplier of 266 percent, grants 6.731 energy, generates 47.0875 decibels, and pushes anomaly buildup to an impressive 173.05. What makes this combo truly special is the Qi Force mechanic: once you have accrued three Qi Force stacks, the fourth hit will consume all stacks and trigger a Quick Assist from an off-field teammate, extending your assault and keeping the pressure on the enemy.
Pan Yinhu’s dodge mechanics offer more than just brief invulnerability. By tapping the dodge button, he performs a swift dash that renders him invincible for the duration of the animation. If you tap basic attack during the dodge, he executes a Dash Attack, lunging forward to deliver a physical strike that deals 167 percent damage with a 52.6 percent daze multiplier, generates 1.501 energy, produces 11.4675 decibels, and builds 41.66 anomaly on the opponent. The real power lies in the Dodge Counter: by timing your dodge perfectly, you activate a counter state, and if you then tap basic attack, Pan Yinhu unleashes a martial attack that hits for 439.2 percent damage with a staggering daze multiplier of 285.6 percent, provides 3.3 energy, accumulates 25.2175 decibels, and amasses 91.68 anomaly buildup. This combination of mobility, invincibility, and counterattack makes him extremely safe to play and punishing for any enemy who tries to corner him.
Next, let’s examine his special attack sequence: the Firecracker Toss and the Iron Shoulder Strike. When you press the special attack button, Pan Yinhu harmonizes his martial arts training with explosive flair, hurling five firecrackers that each deal 118.6 percent damage with a daze multiplier of 58.9 percent, generate no energy, produce 14.28 decibels, and contribute 55.18 anomaly buildup per projectile. After the fifth firecracker or by holding the special button, he follows up with an Iron Shoulder Strike, which deals 307.9 percent damage with a modest daze multiplier of 17.9 percent, generates no energy, creates 22.96 decibels, and builds 118.33 anomaly. This shoulder strike consumes one Qi Force and triggers a Quick Assist on hit, providing further offensive options. Furthermore, when Pan Yinhu is at maximum Qi Force, he becomes emboldened, entering an enhanced state that grants invincibility for the duration of the Shoulder Strike, allowing you to maintain pressure without fear of interruption. Keep in mind that each EX-level Special Attack costs 30 energy, so managing your energy bar is crucial to chaining these powerful moves back-to-back.
Pan Yinhu’s chain attack, known as Chain, unleashes his signature Iron Pot technique. By triggering the Chain Attack, he lifts his iron pot and spins it violently through enemies, inflicting 115.2 percent damage with a daze multiplier of 249.8 percent and stacking a massive 221.1825 decibels while building 302.19 anomaly. This high-daze, high-damage maneuver makes it excellent for staggering multiple foes and creating openings for your team. His ultimate, aptly named Ultimate, unleashes a devastating Final Fist when the decibel gauge has reached its extreme level. This strike deals 301.5 percent damage with a daze multiplier of 110.8 percent, does not generate energy or decibels, and builds 73.33 anomaly. On top of the raw damage output, the Ultimate instantly heals Pan Yinhu for a portion of his maximum health, and for the following five seconds he gains an additional 15 percent healing bonus, reinforcing his role as a self-sustaining bruiser on the front line.
Pan Yinhu also comes equipped with powerful assist skills that support his allies. The Quick Assist occurs when an off-field teammate is knocked airborne or knocked into recoil; Pan Yinhu then crashes down onto the battlefield, performing a slam attack that deals 134.2 percent damage with a daze multiplier of 6.8 percent, grants 1.671 energy, provides 11.2475 decibels, and contributes 40.88 anomaly buildup, all while he remains invincible. His Defensive Assist engages when a frontline ally is about to be attacked; he steps in to parry the incoming blow, building daze rapidly thanks to excellent block performance and providing a critical protective shield, remaining invincible while active. Immediately after a Defensive Assist, you can trigger an Assist Follow-Up, where he lunges in to deal 685.4 percent damage with a daze multiplier of 447.5 percent, generates no energy, accumulates 106.2875 decibels, and builds 320.01 anomaly, once again with full invincibility. The parry itself comes in three flavors—light parry, heavy parry, and continuous parry—yielding different daze multipliers of 33.2 percent, 402.6 percent, and 163.4 percent, respectively, giving him versatile defensive options against a variety of threats.
At the heart of Pan Yinhu’s kit are his core skills, which unlock powerful passive effects. His Core Passive triggers whenever he lands an Iron Shoulder Strike, empowering his Quick Assist by granting it penetration equal to 5 percent of Pan Yinhu’s own attack power for 15 seconds. If you consume three Qi Force stacks, this bonus ramps up dramatically to 20 percent of his attack power for the same duration, which translates into a maximum bonus of 450 penetration when you hit that threshold. On top of this, if your team includes a support agent from the same faction, his Acupoint Strike inflicts a Vulnerability effect on the target, causing all sources to deal 10 percent more damage to those enemies. The first and third Acupoint Strikes each apply this vulnerability, but only one application per skill per target is granted, ensuring balanced but impactful debuff application in coordinated compositions.
Last but certainly not least, we have Pan Yinhu’s Cinema Mindscape levels, which unlock an array of narrative-driven enhancements that elevate his performance beyond his standard kit. First, his Assist Follow-Up now grants one Qi Force when triggered, and hitting an enemy also triggers the previous teammate’s Quick Assist in tandem, creating seamless synergy in cinematic sequences. Second, his Auto EX Special buff increases his energy recovery rate by six percent; when he is off-field and not assisted, and provided he has sufficient energy, he will automatically cast Acupoint Strike repeatedly until either his energy is depleted or he gains three Qi Force stacks, allowing his to build offensive momentum even when he sits on the sidelines. Third, every skill in his arsenal—Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack—receives a two-level boost, increasing the raw numbers behind each move for maximum carnage. Fourth, his Enhanced Healing effect improves the HP regeneration bonus granted by his Ultimate by an additional three percent. On top of that, casting his Ultimate now bestows three Delicious Snack stacks; whenever any teammate is damaged, they consume a snack to heal themselves by ten percent of their maximum health, turning Pan Yinhu into a clutch reversal tool that keeps his allies standing. Finally, his Vulnerability Damage Bonus ensures that any enemy already afflicted with Vulnerability will receive extra damage from all sources on his team, amplifying the impact of his debuffs and making coordinated attacks even deadlier.
