Recommended teams
Well worth investing in: one of the top-meta Fire Ruptures, with huge Sheer damage once she enters Visage of Wrath and clear team synergy with Dialyn/Lucia. Her downsides are the ramp-up time to charge Wrathful Fires and a reliance on a balanced CRIT/HP build; without the right buffer she loses a notable amount of power.
Role Ranking
The list below is pulled straight from the overall Tier List, keeping only the 5 agents who share the Rupture role. Order within each tier is NOT a strength ranking — it simply groups agents by their original tier.
Stat targets
Level 60 base : HP 8,497 / ATK 859 / DEF 445 / Impact 95 / Crit Rate 5% / Crit DMG 78.8% / Anomaly Mastery 90. Key mechanic: every 1 Max HP adds 0.1 Sheer Force, and all of Banyue's Fire DMG is Sheer DMG (ignores DEF, uses Sheer Force as the multiplier) — so HP IS a damage stat. HP target: aim for 45,000-50,000 HP (45k ≈ 4,500 Sheer Force); beyond 50k, pivot to Crit DMG. Endgame: ~70% Crit Rate / 180%+ Crit DMG / 4,500+ Sheer Force / 300+ Impact. Beginner-fine: ~50-60% Crit Rate / ~150%+ Crit DMG, then farm HP. Substat priority: Crit Rate ≈ Crit DMG > HP% > ATK% > flat HP.
Rotation & combos
1) CHARGE: use EX Special Earth Shaker + Mountain Tremor, mixed with Dodge/Parry (dodge = 4, perfect block = 6 points) to build Wrathful Fires to 120 (150 cap). 2) TRIGGER: cast Immolate to enter Visage of Wrath, gaining 4 Mountain's Might → free EX Specials and Adrenaline refunds. 3) BURST: hold Special to unload the chain Earth Shaker → Mountain Tremor → One's Path → Lion's Roar. 4) FINISH: close with the two-rock crush Toppling Mountain / Crushing Peaks for the biggest single hit. 5) SUSTAIN: between cycles keep dodging/parrying so Wrathful Fires never drops, then repeat from step 2. With M1: apply One's Path early to land Tremor (Fire RES down) before the burst.
- Sheer DMG ignores DEF and scales off Max HP → huge single-target output that isn't eaten by enemy armor/level, very consistent.
- Very tanky: high HP is both damage and survivability; building Wrathful Fires via dodge/parry grants lots of i-frames, so he stays alive and is energy-self-sufficient.
- Low reliance on energy batteries — self-generates Adrenaline/Wrathful Fires through defensive play, opening up team choices.
- M1 shreds 10% team-wide Fire RES, adding value alongside Fire partners (Ju Fufu…).
- Extremely execution-heavy: one of the hardest DPS to pilot — long combos, precise dodge/parry timing and Wrathful Fires upkeep; mistakes cost real damage.
- Three-way stat hunger: needs balanced HP (45-50k) + Crit + Impact (300+) at once — very demanding disc farming, hard to hit every threshold.
- Ramp-up required: must build Wrathful Fires to 120 before Visage of Wrath — the burst window comes late, less flexible in short/rushed content.
Recommended Bangboo
Endgame mode fit
Excellent in Shiyu Defense: a top single-target single-side clearer — dumps massive Sheer DMG on bosses inside the Visage of Wrath window. S-tier setups (per/bittopup aggregates) clear ~85s with ~4,750 points & ~48% Banyue stagger; core team Banyue + Dialyn (Stun, +Crit DMG) + Lucia (Max HP/Sheer Force), or Ju Fufu + Astra Yao.
Strong in Deadly Assault: with Birkblick/Booressure he regularly hits ~4,500-5,000 points per clear (per). Scores well via DEF-piercing Sheer DMG on high-HP foes; wants a Stun (Dialyn/Ju Fufu) to open windows and a Support (Lucia/Astra Yao) buffing HP/damage for tidy bursts.

Mindscapes — how far is worth it?
When Banyue hits an enemy with EX Special Attack: One's Path or EX Special Attack: Earth Shaker, he inflicts the Tremor state. In this state, enemies Fire RES is reduced by 10%, lasting 30s. When EX Special Attack: Lion's Roar, EX Special Attack: Lion's Roar - Wrath, EX Special Attack: Mountain Tremor, EX Special Attack: Mountain Tremor - Wrath, Basic Attack: Toppling Mountain, and Basic Attack: Crushing Peaks hits an enemy in the Tremor state, the Sheer DMG dealt is increased by 10%. When Basic Attack: Crushing Peaks hits a Stunned enemy, the current Stun duration is extended by 2s. This effect can only trigger once per Stun and does not stack with similar effects. Did Banyue Shifu ever have any desires of his own? He runs a martial arts school in Failume Heights, apparently only because a certain grandmaster once suggested he open one. The school doesn't even have a name, he isn't looking for fame for fortune, and he's never once told his students to shout slogans about passing down his art. Only Banyue Shifu himself knows that the obsession called repentance burns that iron heart, day and night. A single mistake could send him spiralling. "Greed is like fire. When kept in check, it lights the way forward, but left unchecked, it burns you instead."
The CRIT DMG bonus from the Core Passive is increased by an additional 15%, and the Fire DMG bonus is increased by an additional 15%. While in the Visage of Wrath state, Banyue restores an additional 5 Adrenaline when consuming Mountain's Might to unleash an EX Special Attack. The students at the martial arts school had never seen Banyue Shifu lose his temper, let alone fly into a rage. Even with the dullest or most reckless students, he seemed endlessly patient. After all, how could a mountain ever grow angry? Its deep, immovable calm makes people almost forget the fury it can hold. But when it stirs with the wrath of the heavens, even the fiercest of beasts will tremble in fear. "Anger is like a blade — keep it sheathed in daily life, lest it wound those around you."
Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2 Banyue Shifu was not just a warrior, but a wise man — or so said both his students and the neighbors who knew him. After all, he always looked so composed and thoughtful. Though he spoke little, every word that left his mouth sounded like a proverb worth pondering. Martial arts, he often said, are not only a way to train the body but also the heart. And as he would always add, he himself was still just a student. "I, Banyue, have been slow and foolish, once straying from the right path. But to clear the way for you on this journey... these fists are still yours to command."
EX Special Attack: Lion's Roar - Wrath, EX Special Attack: Mountain Tremor - Wrath, Basic Attack: Toppling Mountain, and Basic Attack: Crushing Peaks DMG increase by 30%. Fate may be ordained by the heavens or shaped by human hands. Yet for some, destiny and guilt were never granted the mercy of free will. Before ever having a name, the combat construct known as "Type Zero" was, in the truest sense, nothing more than a killing machine. And when did a "heart" form? Was it the day she erased the chains of his code, or the moment he found the courage to carry it all and keep moving forward? "Repentance is too easy. Rather than fleeing from past sins, shoulder the mountain of your past... and throw a punch."
Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2 Did you hear? There's a martial arts school up in the mountain taught by some big construct. The students there are no joke; they can even hold their own against Ethereals. Their iron-bodied Shifu often heads into the Hollows to help with rescues, too. Must be quite the martial arts master, huh? "I'm still just a clumsy student myself... Though you all call me 'Shifu,' it's you who have taught me what it means to be a person."
At any time, when Banyue uses an EX Special Attack, he also gains Vidyaraja. The Fire DMG bonus from Vidyaraja is increased by an additional 8%, and its duration is extended to 30s. When activating Basic Attack: Crushing Peaks, Banyue deals Fire DMG equal to 600% of his Sheer Force to nearby enemies. Using Dodge: Battle Cry immediately after an EX Special Attack also grants Vidyaraja. "Dying's the easy way out, isn't it, big guy? You've still got a long path of redemption ahead of you!" "This... is my final verdict!" Her frame was delicate, yet her words landed with a weight that seemed to cut through a mountain of burden and doubt. "I still question whether I have the wisdom and courage to judge... but that's no excuse to stop moving forward."

How to read this build page
Every Agent build page has 4 parts: a stat table by level, W-Engine/Drive Disc suggestions, a Mindscape roadmap, and recommended teams. Read them in that order — stats tell you "what you need", gear tells you "where to get it", Mindscape tells you "is it worth pulling", teams tell you "who to pair with". The section below explains how to read each part, and it applies the same way to every character on the site.
How to read the stat table and level
The stat table shows values at the ascension breakpoints (usually the final one, e.g. Lv60) — these are BASE stats with no gear added, useful for comparing Agents or checking whether you've ascended far enough. CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG are shown separately because they set the damage ceiling once Drive Disc substats stack on top. If your real stats are lower than the table, you likely haven't fully ascended or leveled yet — it's not a build mistake.
Why the W-Engine and Drive Disc picks make sense
Most Agents have a "signature" W-Engine designed for their exact role, plus a few cheaper standard-banner substitutes. Missing the signature isn't a dead end — most Agents keep most of their power with a well-matched substitute, just short by some amount of total damage.
- Drive Disc sets (2pc + 4pc) are picked for the set effect that fits that Agent's playstyle (mono-element, Anomaly, stun, and so on).
- Substats follow a priority that changes by role: Attack-type Agents usually chase CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG before ATK%; Anomaly-type Agents add Anomaly Proficiency to that mix; Stun/Support roles often value survivability or energy stats over pure CRIT.
These weights differ per character — follow the exact substat priority table above rather than applying one formula to every role.
Is Mindscape worth chasing
General rule: M0 (no duplicates) already clears the game's hardest content, even for S-rank Agents. Mindscape is a duplicate-fueled upgrade system, and each level costs more resources for a smaller power gain. For most Agents, the best value stop is usually M1–M2 (where some key effects unlock), while M6 is almost always for players chasing the absolute ceiling, not a requirement. Check the Mindscape section in the table above for that specific Agent's numbers.
Skill priority by role
There's no single order for every Agent, but the general pattern by role is:
- Attack: level the main damage skill first (Basic or Special Attack depending on kit), Dash/Dodge last.
- Stun: prioritize whichever skill builds Daze/Stun fastest, since the stun window is where the whole team dumps damage.
- Support: prioritize buff or energy-generating skills over personal damage — this role's value comes from lifting the whole team.
- Anomaly: prioritize the skill that stacks anomaly buildup, since most of the damage comes from the triggered effect, not the direct hit.
Always level the Core Skill steadily alongside the rest — it's a baseline stat that affects the whole rotation, not just one move.
Where to dig deeper

Banyue FAQ
What is the best W-Engine for Banyue?
Banyue performs best with Wrathful Vajra. See alternatives and required stats in the Gear section above.
Is Banyue worth pulling?
Well worth investing in: one of the top-meta Fire Ruptures, with huge Sheer damage once she enters Visage of Wrath and clear team synergy with Dialyn/Lucia. Her downsides are the ramp-up time to charge Wrathful Fires and a reliance on a balanced CRIT/HP build; without the right buffer she loses a notable amount of power.
What is the best team for Banyue?
Banyue works best in the Standard Fire Rupture team. Full members and rotation are in the Teams section.
Who voices Banyue in Zenless Zone Zero?
Banyue (faction Krampus Compliance Authority, birthday July 24th) is voiced according to the official credits published on the HoYoverse Wiki. See the full English/Japanese/Korean/Chinese voice actor list in the "Voice Actors & Character Info" block above — this data is pulled directly from the official wiki, not guessed.
Which Mindscape of Banyue is worth investing in?
Banyue has 6 Mindscape tiers (M1-M6), each unlocking its own effect detailed in the "Mindscape" block above (official wording). Mindscapes cost Mindscape Cinema currency farmed from limited banners, so weigh it against your budget — F2P players usually stop at M0-M1 and prioritize W-Engine and Drive Discs before pushing Mindscape higher.
How much Denny and how many materials to level Banyue to Lv60?
Leveling Banyue to max Lv60 (ascension + basic skills to 12 + core skill A→F) costs roughly 1,706,000 Denny, plus role-specific ascension materials, attribute-specific skill chips, high-dimensional data, and weekly boss drops — see the full list with exact quantities in the "Materials Needed" block above, sourced from the game's official leveling tables.
