Is Zhenhong worth pulling in NTE 1.2?

Yes if you need a Light main DPS or want to build a burst-focused 1.2 team. If your account already has enough carries and you are short on resources, skipping is reasonable.

Illica, Zero, Haniel, Baicang, and Xiaozhi are the most natural support or reaction partners depending on whether you want safety or burst ceiling.

What materials should I prepare for Zhenhong?

Focus on leveling materials, currency, breakthrough resources, and Version 1.2 Light growth materials first. Get her basic rotation online before chasing max optimization.

# Zhenhong Guide — Teams, Materials, Build & Pull Value

Zhenhong is one of the most important limited main DPS releases in NTE Version 1.2 Phase 2. If you're checking her release timing, whether she is worth pulling, what teams she wants, and how to prepare materials, this page is meant to answer those questions in one place.

Release Window

Zhenhong is treated as the headline Phase 2 banner character for Version 1.2. In current site planning, the CN schedule is July 23 to August 13, 2026.

Is Zhenhong Worth Pulling?

Pull her if you need a Light main DPS, want a burst carry for 999 Nights or endgame modes, or already own support pieces like Illica, Haniel, or Baicang. You can skip if your account already has enough established carries and your real bottleneck is support depth or future-version savings.

Core Identity

Her gameplay is about building Rage, entering a burst window, and cashing out damage quickly. That makes her especially relevant in Version 1.2 content where short, powerful combat windows matter.

Best Team Direction

A stable shell is:

Zhenhong
Illica
Zero (male or female)
Baicang or Xiaozhi

A more aggressive version swaps into a double-buff shell with Haniel.

Material Planning

Prepare general leveling materials, currency, breakthrough resources, and new Version 1.2 Light growth resources first. The practical goal is to get her full damage loop online before chasing full optimization.

Build Priority

Main stats:

Why She Matters in Version 1.2

Zhenhong is not just a strong standalone card. She lines up naturally with the current 999 Nights and Warren Continent version environment, which raises her real value during this patch cycle.
