Best Team Recommendations

Zani Premium Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Zani	Phoebe	Shorekeeper

Zani excels as a high-burst DPS who thrives in her Inferno State, dealing Spectro Frazzle damage. Her kit benefits from fast Spectro Frazzle application to generate Blaze and Infernal Light for enhanced damage.

Phoebe  is about to rerun in the Anniversary Resonator Convene Banner of Phase 1. Her kit includes abilities that prolong Spectro Frazzle stack duration, amplifying overall damage potential and extending Zani's optimal field time.

Shorekeeper complements this composition by providing substantial healing alongside valuable buffs that enhance both critical rate and critical damage.

 

Zani Alternitive Spectro Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Zani	Rover Spectro	Shorekeeper

While Rover may not generate Spectro Frazzle stacks as efficiently as Phoebe or match her damage output, they remain capable of applying substantial stacks while independently extending their duration. Additionally, Rover delivers meaningful damage while providing team healing - this combined utility enhances overall survivability when paired with Shorekeeper, particularly benefiting players who find challenging content difficult.

 

Zani - Ciaccona Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS / Support	Support
Zani	Ciaccona	Verina

Ciaccona, another new 5-star character in wuwa 2.3 banner phase 2, emerges as a powerful 5-star Aero Pistol wielder who strategically complements Zani's playstyle through her dual application of Spectro Frazzle and Aero Erosion debuffs. Her crowd-control capabilities further optimize Zani's effectiveness by grouping enemies for devastating multi-target attacks, creating exceptional synergy between their kits.

 

Zani F2P Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS / Support	Support
Zani	Mortefi	Rover Spectro

Mortefi stands as the game's sole heavy attack damage amplifier, making him uniquely synergistic with Zani by directly enhancing her heavy attack-scaling abilities. As for the support,  Rover proves ideal through their dual capability to both apply and extend Spectro Frazzle stacks, creating perfect conditions for Zani's damage potential.

 

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Zani	Rover Havoc	Verina

Verina provides healing and team-wide buffs, ensuring survivability and boosting Zani’s damage. She’s a versatile F2P support who can replace Shorekeeper.

 

Zani Pulling Recommendations

Overall Consideration

Zani stands out as a premier burst DPS with a high-skill ceiling and versatile combo potential, making her a top-tier pull for Spectro Frazzle teams. Her specialized kit significantly outperforms other gauntlet users. While ideal compositions feature Phoebe or Shorekeeper, viable F2P alternatives exist for team building.

 

Weapon vs. Character

When investing in Zani as your main DPS, Blazing Justice is her best-in-slot weapon and highly recommended. However, if forced to choose between banners, prioritize Phoebe over Blazing Justice - her superior Frazzle application contributes more to Zani's performance than the weapon's raw stats. Existing Phoebe owners should absolutely target Blazing Justice to complete Zani's loadout.

 

Suggested Resonance Chain

S1(⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) Ideal for F2P or Low-spending Players

Effect: Casting Resonance Skill Targeted Action or Resonance Skill Forcible Riposte increases Spectro DMG Bonus by 50% for 14s. Immune to interruptions while casting Resonance Skill Heavy Slash - Nightfall.

Value: S1 is a low-investment constellation that improves Zani’s core mechanic or raw damage output, making her rotations smoother and more consistent. S1 is a noticeable boost without chasing higher constellations.

 

S2 (⭐⭐⭐⭐)High for Semi-Invested Players

Effect: Crit. Rate is increased by 20%. The DMG Multiplier of Resonance Skill Targeted Action and Resonance Skill Forcible Riposte is increased by 80%.

Value: Zani’s damage peaks in Inferno State, so extending its uptime directly increases her burst window. Alternatively, Energy buffs improve her ability to spam Resonance Liberation. S2 is a solid stopping point for those pulling duplicates while aiming for Phoebe or other characters.

 

S6 (⭐⭐⭐)High for Whales or Players Fully Committed to Zani

Effect: The DMG Multipliers of Heavy Slash - Daybreak, Heavy Slash- Dawning, Heavy Slash - Nightfall, and Heavy Slash - Lightsmash are increased by 40%. Gain following effects when in Inferno Mode: - When Blaze is lower than 70, restore 70 Blazes immediately. This effect is triggered once in Inferno Mode. - Within 8s of entering Inferno Mode, Zani will remain standing with at least 1 HP if hit by a fatal blow.

Value: S6 turning Zani into a hypercarry capable of trivializing content. It might enhance her Break of Dawn/Night’s End attacks or make her Frazzle application self-sustaining, reducing reliance on teammates like Phoebe.

Zani stands as a formidable high-burst core DPS, wielding a dynamic block-and-counter playstyle that demands precision and rewards mastery.
