Wuthering Waveshas been steadily increasing the cast and a welcome new addition to the cast isZhezhi, a painterlyRectifieruser who utilizes her ability to paint new objects into reality for combat. Zhezhi is a solid character that can excel at multiple roles for your teams and is a blast to play once you gain access to her. Her kit will make her available for quick burst damage to gain Concerto Energy and swap her out to buff the next character to deal some massive damage for their turn on the field. But what are Zhezhi’s best weapons, echoes, and team compositions?

Best Weapons for Zhezhi
Zhezhi’s 5-Star Banner Weapon
When looking for the best weapon for Zhezhi, you won’t need to look further than her signature weapon from the paired weapon banner,Rime-Draped Sprouts.This is Zhezhi’s 5-Star paired weapon and will increase her Attack by12%. When using herResonance Skill,it will alsoincreaseherBasic Attackby12%for6 seconds, which canstackup to3 times. When using Zhezhi’sOutro Skillwith the full 3 stacks, they will beconsumedto apply a52% Basic Attackbuff for27 secondswhile Zhezhi is off the field. This is a solid weapon for several Rectifier users inWuthering Waves, but it is still the most effective in Zhezhi’s hands.
Zhezhi’s 5-Star Standard Banner Weapon
Cosmic Ripplesis another solid 5-Star option for you to use for Zhezhi if Rime-Draped Sprouts is unavailable. Cosmic Ripples willincrease Energy Regenby12.8%overall, which will benefit Zhezhi greatly, but will alsoincrease Basic Attackdamage by3.2%when hitting targets with Basic Attacks. This Basic Attack buff canstackup to5 timesand will last for8 seconds, the buff can also be triggered1 timeevery.5 seconds. This option is one of the best available and the easiest to obtain within the game as it is one ofWuthering Waves’default 5-Star weapon options in the normal banners.
Zhezhi’s 4-Star Free-to-Play Weapon
Finally, there is theJinzhou Keeper4-Star option for a nice economy option for players as well. The effect is fairly simple but very easy to maintain while using Zhezhi on your team. When using herIntro Skill, herAttackwillincreaseby8%and herHealthwillincreaseby another10%for15 seconds. These effects will only grow when using duplicate versions of the Jinzhou Keeper to upgrade it, making it easier to obtain but still very viable in Zhezhi’s kit. Jinzhou Keeper won’t be the most optimal option for prolonged field use for Zhezhi due to how simple it is, but it will still be a nice option while you wait for Cosmic Ripples or Rime-Draped Sprouts to become available.

Best Echoes for Zhezhi
Sonata Effects For Echoes
Putting together echo sets for Zhezhi will require a specific choice to make for herSonata Effects.Unlike most characters, you will want to stick with a full set ofFreezing FrostorMoonlit CloudsSonata Effects. Mixing and matching Sonata Effects for her won’t bring out the full potential of her Outro Skill buffs or benefit her in any special way. With the full set for Freezing Frost, she will gain a10% Glacio Damage Boostas well as a stackable10% Glacio Damage buffwhen usingBasicorHeavy Attacks. When using the full Moonlit Clouds set, Zhezhi will gain a 10%bonustoEnergy Regenas well as give the next team member brought onto the field a22.5% Attackbonusfor15 seconds.
Best Echoes That Utilize Sonata Effect Buffs
If you are using the Freezing Frost Sonata Effect, you will want to useLampylumen Myriadfor Zhezhi’s primary echo. This echo will do three stomp attacks when used, dealing area of effect Glacio damage while alsoincreasingZhezhi’sGlacio DamageandResonance Skill damageafter use. This is a very effective primary echo in Zhezhi’s hands and will freeze enemies while increasing her potential to deal more damage while on the field after using the echo. Lampylumen Myriad is relatively easy to obtain and will arguably be the best echo option for Zhezhi and her kit.
Impermanence Heronfor the Moonlit Clouds Sonata Effect is the next option for Zhezhi. This echo will allow Zhezhi to transform into the echo to fly around the battlefield and dealHavoc Damagewith its breath attack. When using the long-press attack option for the echo attack, Zhezhi will stay transformed and deal additionalHavoc Damage, flying around the arena. Once attackshitan enemy, Zhezhi’sResonance Energywill berestoredand thenext characterbrought into the fight will have theirdamage increasedas well.

Jinshi is flashy and is capable of hitting enemies very hard once built properly.
Best Teams for Zhezhi
When making some teams, you’ll want to consider using Zhezhi as an off-DPS character, where she won’t be your main damage dealer, but she will be your support DPS to be used while your main damage character is recovering from their burst window. This is where you’ll want to use characters likeLingyang,Jinhsi, orChanglito provide longstanding and high damage numbers. Lingyang in particular will thrive on Zhezhi’s team due to her Outro Skill providing a Glacio damage buff when she exits the field. Despite Jinhsi and Changli being unable to take advantage of the Glacio buff, they still have some very good synergy with Zhezhi when swapping between damage dealers.
For your support characters, you will want the normal options available to you.VerinaorBaizhiare the available healers and are very similar in how their Outro Skills work. They both work well in every team they are put in. Verina takes up very little field time and can buff the entire team’sdamageby15%for30 secondswhen using herOutro Skill. While Baizhi can only buff thenext characterby20%for6 secondswith herOutro Skill,making her only slightly weaker in comparison to Verina. Both are viable and amazing support choices for any team and have great synergy wherever they end up.
Invest In Zhezhi’s Forte Skill Tree
Now that you’ve gotten Zhezhi’s weapons, echoes, and team set up, you’ll want to look at investing some resources in her Forte skill tree to increase her kit by a small percentage as time goes by. These will steadily make her stronger in combat as time goes on and it is always a good idea to invest in every character you plan on using regularly inWuthering Waves. Zhezhi is strong in either her damage dealer or support build and is easily one of the most entertaining characters available to play once she has been built up properly and allowed to bring her kit out to her maximum potential.
