How Mindscape Cinema affects pull value

Pull value in Zenless Zone Zero is not just about acquiring the character, but also about how many Mindscape levels and W-Engine refinements you invest in.

For most players, the most efficient route is:

  • Secure Ye Shunguang at M0
  • Push to M2 for meaningful gameplay and damage improvements
  • Pick up S1 for her signature W-Engine when possible

This approach delivers strong performance without excessive Polychrome spending, while keeping her competitive in both current and future content.
