Pull for Zhou Hong (Gonggong) in Dislyte only if your roster lacks an area-of-effect crowd controller or bruiser and you have enough Abilimon to fully reduce his cooldowns immediately. If you already field established speed leads or fully resonated bruisers, skip his banner to save your Gold Records and Wish Stones.
Skill Priorities and Abilimon Investment
Zhou Hong functions as a hybrid disrupter and bruiser, applying continuous field pressure through multi-hit control, area damage, and stat debuffs. Deploying him without skill upgrades significantly weakens his impact because his rotation relies on rapid cycle times.
- Third Ability (Primary Skill): Invest your Abilimon here first. This ability serves as his main engagement tool, dealing burst damage across all enemies while applying crowd control and stat reductions. Lowering this cooldown is mandatory for reliable battlefield cycling.
- Passive and Second Ability: Upgrade these secondary skills next. They provide self-sustain and counter-measures when enemies attempt to burst down your frontline, improving his durability in extended combat.
- Damage Modifiers: Hold off on spending resources on purely offensive percentage nodes until all skill cooldown reductions are unlocked.
Relic Sets and Stat Targets
Building Zhou Hong requires a balance of speed, durability, and debuff reliability. Building him strictly as a glass-cannon damage dealer undercuts his sustain mechanics and leaves him vulnerable to turn-one elimination.
| Slot / Set Type | Recommended Set | Main Stat Priority | Strategic Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4-Piece Relic | Wind or Relief | Speed or Crit DMG | Secures early turn acquisition or triggers extra basic attacks |
| 2-Piece Relic | Recurve or Avatara | ACC or HP% | Overcomes enemy effect resistance or enables counter-attacks |
| Bottom Relic (Mui II) | Crit DMG or HP% | Crit DMG / Crit Rate / ATK% | Balances offensive threat with baseline survivability |
| Bottom Relic (Una IV) | ACC% or HP% | ACC / Speed / DEF% | Ensures control debuffs bypass high enemy resistance |
| Bottom Relic (Mui I) | Speed | Speed / Efficiency | Synchronizes turn order with setup supports |
Aim for these baseline stat thresholds on your gear:
- Speed Tuning: Tune Zhou Hong to take his turn immediately after your primary buffer, stripper, or defense breaker moves.
- Accuracy: Reach at least 60% Accuracy to land debuffs consistently against high-resistance targets.
- Critical Rate: Target at least 80% Critical Rate to guarantee reliable damage output on his multi-target strikes.
Team Compositions and Esper Synergies
Zhou Hong requires supportive teammates to strip enemy immunity or set up defense breaks before he attacks. Without proper setup or cleansing, enemy lockdown teams can shut down his turn cycle completely.
- Cleave Opener: Pair Zhou Hong with high-speed AP pushers and armor shredders such as Tiye, Dhalia, or Gaius. This allows him to unleash his third ability on broken defenses before opposing healers can take a turn.
- Sustain Bruiser Core: Run him alongside defensive supports like Clara, Gabrielle, or Lian for Point War defense. Their cleansing, shields, and immunity protect Zhou Hong from early stuns, giving his sustain skills time to grind down the enemy team.
- Control Lockdown: Group him with continuous AP manipulators to immobilize high-health tank teams and keep enemy abilities on cooldown.
PvE vs. PvP Performance
Zhou Hong fills specific niche roles depending on the game mode:
- Point War and Knockout (PvP): Effective against bulky, defensive team compositions. However, he struggles against fast single-target Shimmer carries that can eliminate him before he takes a turn.
- Temporal and Infinity Towers (PvE): Highly reliable for multi-wave progression. His ability to disrupt enemy cooldowns prevents dangerous wave compositions from using their lethal team attacks.
- Calamity and Story Stages (PvE): Operates as a stable anchor for elemental tower stages thanks to his area attacks and self-preservation tools.
- Ritual Miracle (PvE): Not recommended for bosses like Kronos or Fafnir. Specialized boss-killers with multi-hit shield mechanics or percentage-based HP damage deliver significantly faster and safer clears.
