NTE Zhenhong Deep Dive: Light DPS Kit, Build, Teams & Pull Advice (Version 1.2 Phase 2)

Zhenhong is the Version 1.2 Phase 2 limited banner character — an S-rank Light Attack DPS, a dragon-tribe fighter. CN server banner runs June 25 – July 15, 2026; the global server runs roughly 8 days earlier.

Her kit is built around two core mechanics:

• Rage gauge: accumulated by basic attacks and skills; maxing it triggers Berserk
• Berserk state: consumes all Rage to enter, greatly boosting ATK and CRIT Rate, with the mechanical tail providing coordinated attacks

She is the core main DPS for Light teams, with a passive that enhances Genesis reactions.

Zhenhong's core damage loop has five steps:

1. 1Demon Claw opener — basic attack multi-hit to stack Rage
2. 2Redirect · Demon Rage Claw — mid-range dash, large Rage gain + Suppression
3. 3Max Rage → Finisher · Dragonflame Berserk — enter Berserk state
4. 4Burst during Berserk window — leverage ATK/CRIT buffs for peak damage
5. 5Tail Sweep swap-in — mechanical tail sweep on entry, Light AoE

Key: the Berserk burst window should be paired with teammate buffs (Illica's heal+ATK, Haniel's ATK buff) to maximize output.

'Twin Butterflies' is a community nickname for Zhenhong's kit, often referring to her Rage/Berserk loop or a coordinated-attack passive. The exact official naming is pending the in-game skill breakdown — treat it as community terminology for now.

Substat priority: CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > ATK% > Elemental Mastery

Weapon: Zhenhong's signature Synthesis Arc is best-in-slot (exact name TBC). Any 5-star Synthesis Arc with CRIT or ATK% substats works as an alternative.

Team 1: Zhenhong Light Team (Standard)

• Zhenhong (main DPS)
• Zero (Light fast-swap, Genesis triggers)
• Illica (heal + buff, v1.2 Phase 1 limited)
• Xiaozhi (sub-DPS)

Team 2: Zhenhong Berserk Burst Team (high-difficulty)

• Zhenhong (main DPS)
• Illica + Haniel (double ATK buff stacking for max Berserk window)
• Baicang (survival + crowd control)

Team 2 suits Abyss and Anomaly content — the double-buff core pushes Zhenhong's burst ceiling.

Pull Zhenhong if:

• Your account lacks a Light main DPS
• You want to build a Genesis-reaction team
• You already have Illica or sustain supports and need a main DPS
• You enjoy burst-style DPS gameplay

Skip if:

• You already have Nanally/Lacrimosa and don't need Light DPS
• Resources are tight and you'd rather save for Canhong in v1.3 Phase 1
• You don't enjoy fighter-style melee feel

Zhenhong's initial rating after v1.2 launch is SS, by scene:

• Abyss: SS
• Anomaly: SS
• Overworld: S+

A top candidate for Light DPS ceiling — Rage/Berserk brings high burst, and her Genesis-reaction passive makes her nearly irreplaceable in Light teams.

• CN Phase 2 banner: June 25 – July 15, 2026
• Global Phase 2 banner: ~June 17 – July 1 (earlier)
• CV: As of v1.2 launch, CN/JP voice actors are not yet officially confirmed — we'll update as soon as announced.

Zhenhong is the headline pull target of v1.2 Phase 2 — a clearly-positioned Light main DPS with a high burst ceiling via Rage/Berserk. If you lack a Light DPS or want a Genesis team, Phase 2 is worth investing in; otherwise wait for launch feedback before deciding on a future rerun.
