Zhezhi Build In Wuthering Waves

Building characters in Wuthering Waves can be as smooth as their combat abilities. However, sometimes a certain character can play multiple roles in different teams, which require a unique build for each one of these roles.

In the case of Zhezhi, building her can vary based on what roles she occupies in her team, considering she’s a Sub-DPS unit who can coordinate attacks with other units in her team. Whether she’s an off-field DPS, or a straight buffer, here are the best builds for Zhezhi in Wuthering Waves.

Updated on January 24, 2025, by Nahda Nabiilah: Wuthering Waves 2.0 is here with a lot of new exciting additions to the game. Some of these new additions are new Echo sets that amplify the performance of characters like Zhezhi who heavily depends on Coordinated Attacks. The new set greatly improves her DMG without compromising her Supprotive abilities, which is exactly what she needs as a Sub-DPS unit in Wuthering Waves. For that, this guide will be updated to include the new best Echo sets and main Echoes for Zhezhi in Wuthering Waves.

Zhezhi Best Echo In Wuthering Waves

To build Zhezhi, start by giving her Empyrean Anthem as it's one of the best Echo sets for Coordinated Attack characters. The Empyrean Anthem also continuously buffs the active Resonator's ATK by 20% as long as Zhezhi is scoring Crit hits with her off-field Coordinated Attacks, so make sure to have sufficient Crit Rate to maximize the Echo's effect. Without proper investment, Moonlit Clouds is the better option.

As for Zhezhi's best main Echo, go for Hecate, which provides her with an unconditional 40% Coordinated Attack DMG buff.

Moonlit Clouds or Freezing Frost are viable options since Moonlit gives Zhezhi more of a Supportive role and helps her buff the next character coming after her. On the other hand, Freezing Frost is purely dedicated to maximizing Zhezhi’s DMG even if she’s playing as an off-field DPS.

For other main Echoes, if Zhezhi’s build has Moonlit Clouds as her Echo set, then go for Impermanence Heron to further improve her Supportive abilities. If she has Freezing Frost, then Lampylumen Myriad will improve her DPS. You can also build Zhezhi with Bell-Borne Geochelone as a last resort until you find a good replacement for her.

In terms of stats, Zhezhi is a very classic DPS who needs ATK and Crit to deal DMG. For that, build Zhezhi with Crit DMG or Crit Rate on her Cost 4 Echo, Glacio DMG on her Cost 3, and ATK% on her Cost 1. You can replace one of the Glacio DMG with Energy Regeneration if she’s not able to get her Resonance Liberation on time. However, the best approach for that issue is to find as much Energy Regeneration as possible in her Sub-Stats. Since her important hits are considered Basic Attack DMG, you should also seek out this Sub-Stat.

Zhezhi Best Weapons In Wuthering Waves

While Zhezhi deals most of her DMG through her Resonance Liberation, it’s still considered a Basic ATK DMG. Because of that, it’s important to find weapons that would boost her Basic ATK or DMG in general. Her signature Rectifier, Rime-Draped Sprouts, is the best-in-slot weapon for Zhezhi in Wuthering Waves. It directly increases her Crit DMG while increasing her ATK and Basic ATK DMG through its passive.

Stringmaster is a good option for Zhezhi since it increases her Crit Rate. Zhezhi can also activate the Rectifier’s passive since she can cast her Resonance Skill multiple times. Zhezhi can also fully activate Cosmic Ripples’ passive, making it one of the best weapons for Zhezhi in Wuthering Waves.

If players don’t own any of these 5-star Rectifiers and want to pick a 4-star weapon for Zhezhi, then going for Augment is the right choice. The 4-star Rectifier increases Zhezhi’s ATK% after casting her Resonance Liberation. Not to mention, Augment also gives Zhezhi around 20% Crit Rate, which is valuable for any DPS.

Finally, Zhezhi can also work with Jinzhou Keeper until better Rectifiers are collected.

Zhezhi Forte Priority In Wuthering Waves

Zhezhi heavily relies on her Resonance Liberation since it helps her perform as an off-field Sub-DPS. She also deals most of her DMG through her Resonance Liberation, which makes it a must-upgrade Forte in Wuthering Waves. After that, Zhezhi’s jumps and DMG are all scaling through her Forte Circuit, which makes it also a top priority to be leveled up. Finally, it’s better to ignore Zhezhi’s Resonance Skill, Basic ATK, and Intro Skill, as Zhezhi has less DPS from them.
