DPS That Consumes Electrification
Zhuang Fangyi is an Electric DPS who revolves around powerful Battle Skills that consume Electrification.
She generates "Sunderblades" through her Battle Skill to enhance her combat performance, and when activating her Ultimate, which enhances all skills, she can overwhelm enemies with a high-damage, wide-range combo that functions entirely on its own.
Zhuang Fangyi Strategy Guide
Basic Playstyle
- Trigger Combo Skill by landing a Final Strike on enemies with Electric Infliction
- Use Battle Skill to consume Electrification generated by Combo Skill
- During Ultimate: loop Battle Skill → Final Strike → Combo Skill
Convert Electric Infliction Into Electrification
The Combo Skill activates when you land a Final Strike on an enemy affected by Electric Infliction. It consumes all Electric Infliction on the target and converts it into Electrification based on the number of stacks.
| Tips! | Since Zhuang cannot apply Electric Infliction outside of her Ultimate, rely on allies to apply it beforehand. |
|---|
Consume Electrification to Place Sunderblades
| Electrification Stacks Consumed | Number of Sunderblades Placed |
|---|---|
| None | 1 |
| 1 Stack | 2 |
| 2+ Stacks | 3 |
Hitting an enemy with Electrification using Battle Skill consumes it and places "Sunderblades" based on the stacks used. Up to 9 Sunderblades can be active at once, and Battle Skill damage increases based on the number of Sunderblades placed.
Ultimate Enhances All Skills
| Skill | Enhancement Details |
|---|---|
| Basic Attack | Motion changes - Final Strike becomes easier to trigger across all hits Damage & range increased |
| Battle Skill | Damage & range increased Applies Electric Infliction on the final hit First Battle Skill during Ultimate consumes no SP or Electrification - Places 3 Sunderblades for free |
| Combo Skill | Becomes an AoE attack Cooldown reduced to 1/4 |
Activating the Ultimate puts Zhuang into the "Empyrean of Truth" state, enhancing all of her skills. During this state, Battle Skill can apply Electric Infliction, allowing you to loop Battle Skill → Final Strike → Combo Skill → Battle Skill on her own.
| Tips! | With Combo Skill cooldown reduced to 1/4, you can chain combos much more frequently. |
|---|
First Battle Skill Costs Nothing
The first Battle Skill used during the Ultimate places 3 Sunderblades without consuming SP or Electrification.
With no setup required, you can simply activate Ultimate and follow up with Battle Skill to immediately start your combo loop.
Zhuang Fangyi Best Teams
Electric Team Centered on Zhuang
This Electric team revolves around using Perlica's Battle Skill to apply Electric Infliction as the starting point. The core flow is to generate Electrification through Zhuang Fangyi and Perlica's Combo Skills, then consume it with Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill.
Since Zhuang Fangyi constantly applies and consumes Electrification, she can trigger Arclight and Alesh's Combo Skills very consistently.

Zhuang Fangyi Best Weapons
Lone Barge Is Recommended
| Weapon | Features |
|---|---|
| Lone Barge | - Signature weapon for Zhuang - Greatly increases Will and ATK - Rate-Up Headhunting runs alongside Zhuang's release |
The recommended weapon for Zhuang is her signature weapon, Lone Barge. Its Rate-Up Headhunting is released alongside Zhuang, and based on past trends with limited characters, it is expected to significantly improve her overall performance.
Flickers in the Mist As a Substitute
| Weapon | Features |
|---|---|
| Flickers in the Mist | - Greatly increases Will and Electric DMG - Obtainable via Protocol Pass / Wrothful Tide - Likely to serve as a substitute based on past trends |
| Detonation Unit | - Greatly increases Main stat and Arts Intensity - Increases Secondary stat - Skills cannot be activated |
| Delivery Guaranteed | - Greatly increases Will and Ultimate efficiency - Skills cannot be activated |
| Monaihe | - Increases Will and Ultimate efficiency - Increases Main stat and Arts Intensity |
Flickers in the Mist, which will be added to the Protocol Pass, is highly likely to be Zhuang's best substitute weapon based on past trends.
Since there are currently few weapons that fit Zhuang well, if you cannot obtain either Lone Barge or Flickers in the Mist, equip a weapon that boosts Will, as it appears to be her main scaling stat.
Zhuang Fangyi Best Gear Build
Xiranflow Is the Best Gear
The new "Xiranflow" Gear is introduced in Ver. 1.2 appears to provide stackable buffs when consuming Arts Reactions, based on information from the special program.
Since Zhuang frequently consumes Arts Reactions, Xiranflow is highly likely to be her optimal Gear set.
Pulser Labs For Currently Existing Gear
| Armor | Pulser Labs Disruptor Suit Arts Intensity +20 |
|---|---|
| Gloves | Pulser Labs Gloves Cryo and Electric DMG Bonus +19.2% |
| Kit 1 | Pulser Labs Invasion Core Ultimate DMG Bonus +51.8% |
| Kit 2 | Eternal Xiranite Auxiliary Arm Ultimate Gain Efficiency +24.6% |
| ▼ Set Effect | |
| Pulser Labs Wearer's Arts Intensity +30 After applying Electrification, gain Electric DMG +50% for 10s. After applying Solidification, gain Cryo DMG +50% for 10s. These effects do not stack. | |
Among currently available Gear, Pulser Labs is a solid option. While the Set Effect has good synergy, the individual Gear pieces are not perfectly aligned with Zhuang. The new Gear from Ver.1.2 will likely be needed to fully maximize her performance.
