Build Zhuang Fangyi as an electric main DPS hypercarry by focusing on gear that boosts electrification and ultimate gain efficiency while pairing her with teammates like Perlica and Arclight to optimize rotations and output.
Abilities Overview
Zhuang Fangyi’s skillset revolves around electrification mechanics that convert electric afflictions into damage and energy generation.
- Basic attacks (Jolting Arts): Ranged attacks that allow repositioning during the final strike. This mobility can be used to avoid attacks while maintaining offensive output.
- Battle skill (Mantra of Sundering): Converts electrification levels on enemies into Sunder Blades to deal damage. The number of Sunder Blades created depends on the electrification consumed, with a maximum of nine. Each Sunder Blade generates ultimate energy and deals lightning damage upon activation.
- Combo skill (Breath of Transformation): Consumes electric affliction stacks on enemies to enhance electrification levels and generate ultimate energy.
- Ultimate (Smiteing Tempest): A transformation skill that grants super armor and introduces high-damage attacks, reducing cooldowns and improving her abilities significantly. It lasts for an extended duration, making Zhuang Fangyi nearly unstoppable during this window.
Gear Optimization
Zhuang Fangyi benefits from electrification-focused gear setups for maximum efficiency and damage output.
- Recommended gear set: The Zeron Flow set is optimal, providing substantial boosts to electric damage and electrification mechanics.
- Temporary options: Bone Crusher Poncho T1 and External Zeronite Gloves T1 can be used if the Zeron Flow set isn’t accessible.
- Build strategies: Choose between the max damage setup (700 skill points) or the efficiency setup (600 skill points) based on playstyle.
- Weapon recommendations: Her signature weapon, Lone Barge, offers the highest buffs and performance. The battle pass weapon, Flickers in the Mist, serves as a viable alternative at higher refinement levels.
