Zhuang Fangyi Overview
| Operator Details | |||
| Rarity | 6 Star | ||
| Element | Electric | ||
| Weap Type | Arts Unit | ||
| Class | Striker | ||
| Role | DPS | ||
Zhuang Fangyi is an Electric Striker focused on dealing massive, consistent damage by building and consuming Electrification stacks through her Combo skill Breath of Transformation and Battle skill Mantra of Sundering. Her playstyle revolves around applying Electric Infliction, triggering her Combo to convert those stacks into Electrification, then spending that Electrification with her Battle skill to summon Sunderblades and unleash Thunder Strikes for devastating damage. The more Sunderblades active on the field, the higher her total damage output. Once her Ultimate Smiting Tempest activates, she transforms into a self-sufficient DPS for 25 seconds - her Combo cooldown drops to just four seconds, her Battle skill multipliers skyrocket, her first cast is completely free, and she can apply Electric Infliction on her own.
Zhuang Fangyi Skill Priority
| Skill | Priority | Reason | ||
Jolting Arts (Basic Attack) | ★ | Used primarily to reach the Final Strike and trigger her Combo skill. Low priority but still contributes to her damage unlike pure support characters. | ||
Mantra of Sundering (Battle Skill) | ★★★★ | Top priority. Her primary damage source that channels all active Sunderblades for massive Electric damage. Every level directly increases her Thunder Strike multipliers. | ||
Breath of Transformation (Combo Skill) | ★★ | Spammed frequently during her Ultimate window due to the reduced cooldown. Maxing it shortens the cooldown by one second, helping it sync better with Perlica's Combo skill. | ||
Smiting Tempest (Ultimate) | ★★★ | High priority. Grants separate enhanced multipliers and transforms her into a self-sufficient damage powerhouse. Level this second after the Battle skill. | ||
Zhuang Fangyi Best Weapons and Essence Priority
Zhuang Fangyi is an Arts Unit Operator who scales mainly with Will and Intellect. Her kit revolves around consuming Electrification stacks with her Battle skill to summon and trigger Sunderblades, so weapon choices should prioritize Will as the primary stat, Battle Skill DMG Bonus, and Electric DMG Bonus.
For Zhuang Fangyi's best weapon, Lone Barge is considered the best overall choice. It provides Will, ATK%, and its effect directly rewards her core loop, consuming Arts Reactions with her Battle skill stacks up to 32% Battle skill Electric damage twice, and activating her Ultimate grants an additional 64% Battle skill Electric damage buff, perfectly aligning with her high-damage Ultimate window. Flickers in the Mist is the battle pass alternative, offering Will and Electric damage dealt with additional Electric damage stacks when gaining Electric Amp. If neither is available, Oblivion is another option that benefits from her frequent Ultimate and Combo skill usage to stack Arts damage buffs, or Monaihe as a free-to-play alternative that provides Will and Ultimate Gain Efficiency.

Zhuang Fangyi Best Gear Set
For Zhuang Fangyi, in the early game she can use gear that provides Will and Arts DMG bonuses to increase her DPS. For players who have not yet unlocked the new map and upgraded their factories to craft the Xiranflow set, the Eternal Xiranite set serves as a strong high-tier alternative in the meantime, offering Ultimate Gain Efficiency and solid Will and Intellect stats to keep Zhuang Fangyi's rotations running smoothly. When the Xiranflow set becomes available, it is the ideal endgame choice, providing the strongest balance of Will, Intellect, and scaling stats that directly amplify her Battle skill damage and Sunderblade loop. For the off-piece, the LYNX Slab is recommended.

Zhuang Fangyi Best Teams
For Zhuang Fangyi's best teams, Zhuang Fangyi works best in teams that can consistently apply Electric Infliction to trigger her Combo skill and fuel her Sunderblade loop. She benefits most from teammates that provide reliable Electric Infliction application and SP recovery, allowing her Battle skill spam to be fully sustained when it matters most. Zhuang Fangyi's team building is more strict than most DPS. Perlica is essentially a mandatory pick as the primary Electric Infliction applier, while Arclight serves as the most reliable SP recovery unit and can force Electrification with her Ultimate. The remaining flex slot can be filled by options like Aleish, Antal, Ardelia, or Akekuri depending on whether you prioritize SP generation, damage buffs, or healing.
NOTE: Perlica runs the Qingbo (3-piece) gear set in all of these team options. The 15% Combo Skill Cooldown Reduction lets her inflict Electrification more, while stacking up to +20% Skill DMG Dealt (up to 2 stacks) on each cast.
