Yixuan Rerun Overview: Banner Details and Agent Profile
Banner runs February 6, 2026 10:00 PM to March 4, 2026 11:59 AM UTC/GMT-5 (26 days). Yixuan is an Ether Rupture specialist from Yunkui Summit faction.
Level 60 stats: 7953 HP, 872 ATK, 441 DEF, 92 Anomaly Mastery, 90 Anomaly Proficiency. She's a DoT specialist scaling differently from burst DPS agents.
Rate-up A-Ranks: Corin and Billy. Need Zenless Zone Zero Polychrome? BitTopup offers competitive rates with fast, secure delivery.
50/50 and Guarantee System
When you pull an S-Rank, there's 50% chance it's Yixuan. Lose the 50/50 (getting Nekomata, Lycaon, Soldier 11, Koleda, Grace, or Rina instead), and your next S-Rank is guaranteed Yixuan.
Two pity states:
- Guaranteed: Next S-Rank is 100% Yixuan
- 50/50: May need up to 180 total pulls worst-case
S-Rank base rate: 0.6%. A-Rank: 7.05%.
ZZZ Pity System Mechanics
Soft Pity (Pull 75+)
Soft pity activates after 75 pulls, increasing S-Rank probability from 0.6% to ~6.6% (10x increase). Expected S-Rank arrival: pulls 62-65. By pull 80: 50% cumulative probability. By pull 85: 75%+ probability.
Players at 70+ pulls face high S-Rank risk per pull—don't test luck without full commitment.
Hard Pity (Pull 90)
Guaranteed S-Rank at pull 90. Each pull costs 160 Polychrome or 1 Encrypted Master Tape.
Costs from zero:
- Hard pity: 14,400 Polychrome (90 pulls)
- Worst-case guarantee: 28,800 Polychrome (180 pulls if losing 50/50)
Pity Carryover
Pity carries to next Exclusive Channel banner but resets when pulling any S-Rank. Your guarantee status (50/50 vs guaranteed) also carries over.
60 pulls on Yixuan's banner without S-Rank? Those 60 transfer to next banner, letting you bank progress.
Polychrome Cost Analysis
Master Tape Requirements
Worst-case (zero pity, 50/50): 180 tapes = 28,800 Polychrome
Best-case: 62-75 pulls = 9,920-12,000 Polychrome
Average (50/50 status): 120-140 pulls = 19,200-22,400 Polychrome
F2P Earnings
Version 2.6 Phase 1 provides 40-60 pulls (6,400-9,600 Polychrome) through events, dailies, and content.
Gap between F2P earnings and guarantee means players at zero pity on 50/50 can't guarantee Yixuan without luck or purchases.
Worst-Case After 50/50 Loss
Losing 50/50 at pull 90: 14,400 Polychrome spent, need another 14,400 for second hard pity = 28,800 total.
More realistic: Lose 50/50 at pulls 75-85, secure guaranteed Yixuan at pulls 137-165 = 21,920-26,400 Polychrome.
Pre-Pull Checklist: 6 Decision Points
1. Elemental Coverage
Yixuan fills Ether Rupture role. Lack Ether damage dealers? She provides substantial value. Already have multiple built Ether S-Ranks? Marginal benefit.
Shiyu Defense and Hollow Zero require diverse elemental teams. No Ether options = team-building constraints.
2. Role Diversity
Yixuan is Rupture DPS with unique scaling. Core Passive Sheer Force: +0.1 per 1 Max HP, all Auric Ink damage ignores DEF.
Need DPS or support/stun agents more? Rupture emphasizes sustained damage vs burst windows—consider playstyle preference.
3. Current Pity State
Check Signal Search > Details > History. Count pulls since last S-Rank.
- 70+ pulls: High S-Rank risk, don't test luck
- Guaranteed status: Need only 14,400 Polychrome max
- 50/50 status: Up to 28,800 Polychrome worst-case
4. Polychrome Reserves
Calculate: current reserves + earnings before March 4.
- Reserves exceed worst-case: Pull confidently
- Cover average-case only: Moderate risk
- Insufficient for best-case: Don't pull unless buying more
30-pull rule: Never commit 30+ pulls without resources to reach guarantee.
5. Team Synergy
Optimal teams:
- Yixuan/Anby/Soukaku + Knightboo
- Yixuan/Dialyn/Lucia + Excaliboo
Alternative teammates: Pan Yinhu, Koleda, Ju Fufu, Astra, Caesar, Lucy, Pulchra
Signature W-Engine Qingming Birdcage: CRIT Rate +20%, Ether DMG +8% per stack (2 stacks, 15s). Alternatives: Radiowave Journey, Puzzle Sphere, Cinder - Cobalt.
Best Drive Discs: Yunkui Tales 4-piece + Woodpecker Electro 2-piece.
6. Upcoming Banners
Version 2.6 Phase 1 reportedly features Sunna + Yixuan (S1, S4) vs Sunna + Aria (S12) per community leaks.
Reruns typically occur every 6-8 months. Skip now = extended wait but allows resource accumulation.
Should You Pull? Scenarios
PULL: Lack Ether DPS
No strong Ether damage dealers? Yixuan directly addresses this gap. Particularly valuable for newer players (Inter-Knot 40-50) lacking elemental diversity.
Rupture specialization offers unique DoT gameplay distinct from standard DPS.
PULL: High Pity on Guarantee
65+ pulls on guaranteed status = minimal cost (4,000-8,000 Polychrome). Exceptional value for S-Rank acquisition.
Low resource cost makes pulling worthwhile even if you don't specifically need Yixuan—expands roster and resets pity.
SKIP: Strong Ether Roster
Multiple built Ether S-Ranks? Marginal benefit from adding Yixuan. Resources better saved for uncovered niches.
If current Ether agents clear all content comfortably, Yixuan is luxury, not necessity.
SKIP: Low Pity, Limited Reserves
0-30 pulls with under 15,000 Polychrome = high risk of incomplete acquisition. Worst outcome: depleted reserves, elevated pity, no character.
Maintain discipline. Testing luck with small investments traps resources without value. Bank pulls for future guarantees.
SKIP: Higher Priority Upcoming
Anticipating specific future releases? Prioritize conservation. Yixuan will return; limited debuts may not recur for 6+ months.
Opportunity cost: Every Polychrome on Yixuan reduces future target resources. Align spending with personal priorities.
Yixuan vs Alternatives
vs Zhu Yuan
Zhu Yuan: Burst DPS, different element. Yixuan: Sustained Rupture, excels in extended encounters.
Team flexibility differs. Yixuan works with Anby, Soukaku, various supports. Zhu Yuan needs specific enablers.
Choice depends on existing roster and playstyle preference.
vs Jane Doe
Jane Doe fills distinct role with different element. Compare which addresses more critical roster gaps, not absolute power.
Lacking Jane's niche? She provides more value. Already own Jane? Assess if Yixuan fills remaining gaps.
When Yixuan Is Superior
Optimal when you:
- Lack Ether Rupture coverage
- Own compatible supports (Anby, Soukaku, Lucia)
- Have resources to guarantee acquisition
Auric Ink's DEF-ignoring properties excel against high-defense enemies.
Risk Control Strategies
30-Pull Rule
Never invest 30+ pulls without guarantee resources. Prevents catastrophic pity building without character acquisition.
30-pull threshold provides safety before soft pity. Preserves flexibility for future banners.
Soft Pity Danger Zone (Pulls 65-72)
Final decision point before soft pity activation. Commit to completion or stop immediately.
Calculate resources: current + anticipated earnings. Exceeds worst-case? Proceed. If not, stop now.
Resist psychological pressure from proximity to soft pity. Emotional decisions here produce worst outcomes.

Mindscape Value: M0 vs M1-M6
M0 Viability
Base Yixuan (M0) provides full kit access, viable for all endgame content. Core mechanics deliver competitive performance without constellations.
M0 makes Yixuan accessible to F2P/light spenders. Unlike some S-Ranks requiring specific Mindscapes, she delivers value immediately.
M1 Priority
M1: CRIT Rate +10%, 120 Technique Points on combat entry (once per 180s), lightning strike dealing 50% Sheer Force damage.
Cost: Another 90 pulls (14,400 Polychrome) worst-case. Exceeds cost of new S-Rank agent—luxury, not necessity.
Diverse S-Rank roster > constellation investments for most players.
M2-M6 Whale Territory
M2: 15% Ether RES ignore on Ultimate/EX Special, Ultimate extends Stun +3s.
M6: Regulated Breathing ignores Technique Points for Endless Talisman once per 30s, +20% Sheer DMG during Meditation.
Reaching M6: Seven copies, 100,000+ Polychrome worst-case. Targets competitive players/content creators, not casual/mid-core.

F2P Saving Strategy

FAQ
Is Yixuan worth pulling in ZZZ 2.6? Yes if you lack Ether Rupture coverage, own compatible supports (Anby/Soukaku), and have 14,400-28,800 Polychrome to guarantee. Skip if you have strong Ether agents or limited resources.
How does ZZZ pity work? Hard pity at 90 pulls guarantees S-Rank. Soft pity at 75+ increases rates from 0.6% to 6.6%. First S-Rank has 50% chance to be featured; lose 50/50 and next is guaranteed. Pity carries over but resets on any S-Rank pull.
Polychrome needed to guarantee Yixuan? Worst-case: 28,800 (180 pulls, zero pity, lose 50/50). Guaranteed status: 14,400 max (90 pulls). Average: 19,200-22,400.
Pull if I have other S-Ranks? Only if Yixuan fills specific gap—primarily Ether Rupture coverage. Other elements/roles don't diminish her value if you lack Ether. Multiple built Ether agents? Save resources.
Does pity carry over? Yes, to next Exclusive Channel banner (pull count + guarantee status). Resets immediately when pulling any S-Rank.
When to skip Yixuan? Skip if: (1) strong Ether coverage, (2) low pity with under 15,000 Polychrome, (3) prefer upcoming characters, (4) lack compatible supports, (5) F2P saving for specific target.
