Recruitment
Complete the quest Chasing Zenmai, which can be obtained from Dinja in the Consulate Docks. Your account must be able to access both the Factions and Nightfall campaigns to recruit her in PvE.

Armor
Zenmai starts with basic Am Fah armor, which is similar in appearance to Assassin Shing Jea armor but which has its own unique variations. Her armor has an armor rating of 55 to 70, depending on her level. Like all heroes, her headgear provides an additional +1 attribute bonus based on the rune applied to it.

The appearance of her armor can be upgraded to Mysterious armor using Mysterious Armor Pieces acquired from the Shadow Nexus Challenge Mission. The appearance of her armor can be upgraded to Primeval armor using Primeval Armor Remnants acquired in the Domain of Anguish and during the Ebony Citadel of Mallyx mission.

See Zenmai's armor gallery.
