Wuthering Waves – Zani build and materials guide

by

Work with the top-notch Wuthering Waves Zani setup and unwind with an ice-cold beverage when you’re finished. Zanzi is a 5-Star Resonator specializing in Spectro DMG and wielding Gauntlets during combat. As one of the Montelli family’s most trusted workers, she frequently handles the hardest tasks, but her equipment equips her to handle it.

Zani’s ability, Restless Watch, inflicts Spectro damage on targets and puts her in a Block position, enabling her to ward off the next attack with a counter that also weakens the enemy’s Vibration Power. Her skill has an upgraded form too, providing immunity against interruptions and increasing the Spectro damage she deals.

In two variations, her release of resonance occurs during the hours of dawn and dusk as well. The common version amplifies her basic attack with a Spectro DMG multiplier and activates Inferno Mode, granting access to all her alternate skill variations. One of these alternative skills is another liberation, which also inflicts Spectro DMG.

As a gamer, I stockpile my unique resource, Blaze, by collecting Spectro Frazzle left behind by my teammates after they strike enemies. The more Blaze I have when activating Inferno Mode, the better my enhanced skills and their power. Furthermore, I boost my own Spectro DMG and deal Spectro DMG with my intro skill, while my outro skill also inflicts Spectro DMG and increases the Spectro DMG dealt by my allies.

Zani’s equipment is easy to grasp and offers significant damage potential, but it lacks versatility. To perform optimally in combat, she benefits from being part of a team focused on Spectro Damage.

Best Zani weapons – Wuthering Waves

Absolutely, Zani possesses a unique weapon known as Blazing Justice. This weapon significantly boosts CRIT Damage and Attack power, while also enabling the wielder’s basic attacks to partially ignore the enemy’s Defense and increase the effectiveness of Spectro Frazzle damage.

Best Zani weapons in Wuthering Waves:

  • Blazing Justice (5-Star)
  • Tragicomedy (5-Star)
  • Verity’s Handle (5-Star)
  • Abyss Surges (5-Star)
  • Legend of Drunken Hero (4-Star)
  • Celestial Spiral (4-Star)

Best Zani Echoes – Wuthering Waves

Given that Zani’s equipment setup primarily focuses on Spectro Frazzle, it’s not surprising that her most effective Sonata Effect is Eternal Radiance, which increases Spectro damage and critical rate. Regarding Zani’s best Main Echo, consider Capitaneus or Nightmare: Mourning Aix. Both offer increased Spectro damage, but Mourning Aix is a better choice due to its enhanced compatibility with Spectro Frazzle.

In terms of stats, it’s best to focus on grabbing additional CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, and ATK for Zani.

Best Zani teams – Wuthering Waves

To clarify, Zani excels as the primary Damage Per Second (DPS) character in teams centered around Spectro, yet her performance significantly decreases when not part of such team setups.

  • Zani (Main DPS), Phoebe (Sub DPS), Shorekeeper (Support)

Without a doubt, Phoebe stands out as Zani’s ideal partner. She skillfully uses Spectro Frazzle on opponents to fully recharge Zani’s Blaze, ensuring she has all her powers at the ready upon entering Inferno Mode. Moreover, Phoebe offers significant Amplification and Resistance reduction, which Rover (Spectro) can’t match in the same capacity.

As a gamer, I’d definitely vouch for Shorekeeper and Verina being my top choices when it comes to healers for my core team. These two really pack a punch by offering numerous buffs alongside their HP restoring abilities.
