Zhuang Fangyi's Best Essences

Essences are one of the repeatedly farmable ways to further boost the weapon effects of your Zhuang Fangyi. Which area and essence you will want to farm will depend on the weapon you are playing, as not all Essences are compatible with every weapon. Essences will increase the stats of your weapon, as well as enhance the passive effect it provides.

Of special note, Zhuang Fangyi's Signature Weapon, Lone Barge, shares the same Essence stats as her 4-star weapon option, Fluorescent Roc.

• Lone Barge: Will, Attack Boost, and Suppression, farmable in The Hub and Originium Science Park.
• Flickers in the Mist: Will, Electric DMG Boost, and Efficacy, farmable in The Hub, Originium Science Park, and Marker Stone.
• Monaihe: Will, Ultimate Gain Boost, and Inspiring, farmable in Originium Science Park, Qingbo Stockade, and Marker Stone.
• Fluorescent Roc: Will, Attack Boost, and Suppression, farmable in The Hub and Originium Science Park.

Leveling Gear for Zhuang Fangyi

Zhuang Fangyi's Skill Priority

Zhuang Fangyi strikes with the strength and speed of lightning! Once the first Electrification or Electric Infliction is applied to the target, her thunder rolls out the devastation! She is not a character that can be used independently, but with the right team support, she can be a powerful addition to your roster. Her skills are designed to work in synergy with each other, so it's important to use them in the right order to maximize her damage output.

With these factors in mind, her battle skill takes the highest priority as her main driver, followed by her ultimate. Her combo skill and basic attack are interchangeble for 3rd and 4th priority.

How to Play Zhuang Fangyi

Kicking off Zhuang Fangyi's rotations starts with getting an Electric Infliction or Electrification on the target. As of now, only Perlica may apply these effects reliably, but we expect more characters to be added in the future. Once the target is afflicted, Zhuang Fangyi can unleash her skills.

If the target is starting from an Electric Infliction state, perform a Final Strike or Finisher on that target. This will trigger Zhuang Fangyi's Combo Skill. This will do a massive amount of Electric DMG, and convert the Electric Infliction into an Electrification. Once in this state, you may then use Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill, consuming the Electrification to create 3 Sunderblades which will unleash Thunder Strikes, dealing high Electric DMG to the enemies.

The real fun hits when Zhuang Fangyi's Ultimate becomes available. Ideally, you'll enter this state with Electrification already on the target to maximize her DPS output. Everything gets amped up in this state. Her Battle Skill will apply Electric Infliction on its own. Her first casting of it won't consume SP or Electrification, and her Combo Skill will become an AoE with a faster cooldown. What this all means? Ability spam time! Prove that lightning can in fact strike twice by hitting her Battle Skill twice in a row. Get a Final Strike in to trigger her Combo Skill, then start following that pattern until her Ultimate ends.
