Pan Yinhu’s kit is refreshingly simple: He only has a single type of Basic Attack at his disposal and a fairly straightforward resource to manage — Break Force. He obtains three Break Force after activating his EX Special Attack and can consume one point of this resource to activate Special Attack: Touch of Death.
Special Attack: Touch of Death can apply the Depleted Qi debuff to enemies, increasing the damage they take from all sources, if Pan Yinhu is teamed up with at least one Rupture Agent or Yunkui Summit member.
- Role: Defense
- Damage Type: Physical
- Faction: Yunkui Summit
- Rarity: A-Rank
Aside from generating Break Force, his EX Special Attack triggers a Quick Assist from the Agent positioned ahead of him in the line-up, allowing them to rotate in and gain Sheer Force based on his ATK. This buff is applied when Agents switch in via Chain Attacks as well. After a character has been switched in via this Quick Assist, Pan Yinhu will stay on the field and execute Special Attack: Touch of Death until his Break Force runs out.
His Ultimate deals Physical DMG and heals the entire squad.
Pan Yinhu’s Mindscape Cinema, which can be leveled up by pulling duplicates of him, has the following effects:
Level | Effects |
---|---|
1 | - All squad members deal +10% DMG to foes affected by Depleted Qi. |
2 | - Pan Yinhu recovers 4 Energy for every 6 Break Force he consumes. |
3 | - Increases Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack level by 2. |
4 | - Increases HP recovery from Ultimate by +25% and healing effect over time by +25%. |
5 | - Increases Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack level by 2. |
6 | - Increases Meridian Flow effect by +6% of Pan Yinhu’s ATK and increases maximum Sheer Force provided to 720. |
ZZZ – Pan Yinhu: best W-Engines
ATK is the highest priority for Pan Yinhu, as it maximizes his personal damage output as well as his supporting ability for Rupture Agents. His signature W-Engine, Tremor Trigram Vessel, helps with that goal: It bolsters the wearer’s ATK, EX Special Attack DMG, and Ultimate DMG. On top of that, the wearer regenerates Energy whenever any ally takes damage or is healed.
Best W-Engines for Pan Yinhu in ZZZ:
- Tremor Trigram Vessel (A-Rank)
- Spring Embrace (A-Rank)
- Peacekeeper – Specialized (A-Rank)
- Tusks of Fury (S-Rank)
ZZZ – Pan Yinhu: best Drive Discs
Make sure to stack additional ATK on Pan Yinhu to maximize the amount of Sheer Force he can generate for his allies. You can fill the rest of his stats with CRIT DMG and CRIT Rate to bolster his personal damage output and add some HP into the mix to make the panda thiren tankier. If you’re having trouble with generating enough Energy to make his EX Special Attack available reliably, you can opt for an Energy Regeneration main stat on Partition 6.
Best Drive Disc sets for Pan Yinhu in ZZZ:
- Astral Voice (4) + Hormone Punk (2) – +10% ATK, whenever a squad member enters the field via Quick Assist, every ally gains one stack of Astral for 15 seconds (up to three stacks), which increases the DMG of characters entering the field via Quick Assist by 8%; +10% ATK
Best Drive Disc stats for Pan Yinhu in ZZZ:
- Partition 1 – HP (Primary), ATK %, ATK, CRIT DMG, CRIT Rate
- Partition 2 – ATK (Primary), ATK %, CRIT DMG, CRIT Rate, HP %
- Partition 3 – DEF (Primary), ATK %, ATK, CRIT DMG, CRIT Rate

ZZZ – Pan Yinhu: best teams
Pan Yinhu’s ability to generate additional Sheer Force makes him an invaluable ally for Rupture Agents. His healing isn’t overly powerful, but comes in handy anyways — especially since some of the enemies and environmental effects added to the game with ZZZ 2.0 have better odds of damaging even skilled players.
- Yixuan (Main DPS), Vivian (Sub DPS), Pan Yinhu (Support)
- Bangboo: Belion / Robin
Yixuan is this team’s main source of damage and spends most of her time in the field. Vivian is an excellent Sub DPS for her, as she doesn’t need a lot of field time and Yixuan’s frequent EX Special Attacks can reliably trigger Abloom. Pan Yinhu facilitates rotations, provides moderate healing, and increases incoming Agents’ Sheer Force. His own EX Special Attacks will further apply Vivian’s Abloom effect.
ZZZ – Pan Yinhu: promotion materials
After obtaining Pan Yinhu, you’ll want to level him up as quickly as possible to make use of his talents in combat. Here are the materials required to upgrade him to Level 60:
- Basic Rupture Certification Seal x4
- Advanced Rupture Certification Seal x32
- Arbiter Certification Seal x30
- Dennies x800,000
You can obtain Certification Seals from the VR Combat Simulation. Advanced materials may be crafted using lower-level materials as well. Dennies can be earned in the VR Combat Simulation as well as through operating the Random Play video store.
Leveling Pan Yinhu up is only half the game, though — you’ll want to upgrade all of his skills as well to get the most out of his performance in battle. Here are the materials required to max out his Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack — we’re giving you the total you need, so just divide everything by five to get the materials needed for a single skill:
- Basic Ether Chip x25
- Advanced Ether Chip x75
- Specialized Ether Chip x250
- Hamster Cage Pass x5
- Dennies x2,500,000
Chips can be farmed in the VR Combat Simulation with Advanced and Specialized Chips also being available through crafting. Hamster Cage Passes are a rare material that can be grabbed from time-limited events as well as the New Eridu City Fund.
Finally, you can upgrade his Core Skill six times to make Pan Yinhu stronger, for which you need the following materials:
- Higher Dimensional Data: Miasmic Elytron x60
- Exuvia of Refinement x9
- Dennies x405,000
Higher Dimensional Data: Miasmic Elytron will be available from the Expert Challenge: Miasma Ravager – Avarus, while Exuvia of Refinement must be acquired through Notorious Hunt: Miasma Priest.
