Story Yixuan Agent Story

Qingming Birdcage is the signature weapon of Yixuan, one of the Agents you can play as in Zenless Zone Zero. This also means that Yixuan is the primary recommended Agent to use this W-Engine.

The recommended agents for this W-Engine are arranged from most to least recommended.

As of Version 2.0, Yixuan is the only Rupture Agent released thus far. Therefore, she's the only one capable of using this W-Engine until another Rupture Agent comes along.

However, due to this W-Engine's optimizations on Ether and Sheer DMG, as well as its increase in HP instead of ATK, it's highly likely that only Yixuan will be able to take advantage of its effects to their fullest capacity even after other Rupture Agents get released.
