Pan Yinhu
Who is Pan Yinhu?
Pan Yinhu is an A-rank Physical Defense agent from the Yunkui Summit faction in Zenless Zone Zero. A panda-themed frontline warrior, he specialises in supporting Rupture DPS agents by buffing Sheer Force — the damage multiplier for Rupture detonations — while providing party healing and quick-assist follow-up damage. Notably accessible as an A-rank, he forms the backbone of budget Rupture teams and remains relevant in high-end compositions alongside S-rank Rupture agents like Yixuan and Banyue.
Kit Summary
Pan Yinhu's Core Skill and EX Special provide Sheer Force buffs to Rupture teammates, directly increasing Rupture detonation damage — his primary support contribution.
His EX Special Attack forces a Quick Assist for the incoming character, activating Quick Assist DMG bonuses from Drive Discs like Astral Voice (up to 24% DMG increase).
Pan Yinhu's Ultimate provides party-wide HP restoration, adding sustain utility to the team without dedicating a separate healer slot.
His passive and some abilities scale with his own DEF stat, rewarding DEF substats on top of ATK for a dual-scaling support role.
Passive bonus active with other Yunkui Summit faction members.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sheer Force and why does Pan Yinhu buff it?
Sheer Force is a damage multiplier that scales the output of Rupture detonations. When Pan Yinhu's Core Skill and EX Special increase teammates' Sheer Force, every Rupture detonation the team triggers hits harder. For Rupture DPS agents like Yixuan, Banyue, and Yidhari, Sheer Force buffs are among the highest-value damage contributions a support can provide.
Is Pan Yinhu a healer or a buffer?
Both. His Ultimate heals the party for a meaningful amount, covering sustain needs in many encounters. His EX Special triggers Quick Assist with team DMG buffs. He is primarily a Rupture-specialist buffer who also has healing on his Ultimate, making him a dual-role support.
Can Pan Yinhu work outside Rupture teams?
Pan Yinhu's Quick Assist trigger (Astral Voice 24% DMG buff) is universal and benefits any team using Quick Assist rotations. However his Sheer Force buffs are exclusively Rupture-specific — in non-Rupture teams he contributes less damage amplification and is outclassed by dedicated supports like Astra Yao or Caesar.
