Zhao Kit
How to Play Zhao
Accumulate Frostbite
Zhao will accumulate a unique resource called Frostbite whenever an on-field Agent deals damage. Frostbite is also gained when Zhao uses certain skills.
Switch to Zhao When Frostbite is Full
Once Zhao's Frostbite gauge is full, call her into battle to activate Entry Skill: Burst of Frost. This will deal damage to enemies and activate Ether Veil: Wellspring.
The squad will receive additional buffs when activating Zhao's Ether Veil: Wellspring and a Quick Assist can be triggered.
Provide Health Recovery
Launching Zhao's EX Special Attack will have her perform a series of slashes while consuming a portion of her HP. This will also give squadmates a continuous health recovery effect.
When activated under Ether Veil: Wellspring, a Quick Assist can be triggered.
Activate Additional Ability
If Zhao is on a squad alongside an Attack, Anomaly, or Support Agent, her Additional Ability will be activated. When this ability is active, Ether Veil: Wellspring will give the entire team buffs based on Zhao's maximum HP.

Who is Zhao?
The Unbeaten Legend
As a member of the Krampus Compliance Authority, Zhao's primary duty is to investigate the companies within TOPS to ensure that regulations are being followed. Dialyn refers to Zhao as the Unbeaten Legend
, likely due to her business savvy and unwavering integrity.
A quote in her teaser seems to imply that Zhao has an unusual way of ordering food.
