Best Echo Sets for Zhezhi
As a Sub-DPS, the new Empyrean Anthem is the best in slot option for Zhezhi. The increased Energy Regen allows her to more reliably perform Coordinated Attacks, which is also buffed by the 5-piece set. We do suggest going for Nightmare: Lampylumen Myriad as the echo for this since it provides Glacio DMG & can be summoned quickly for free echo damage.
Moonlit Clouds is the second best option for Zhezhi, especially for those with no access to Rinascita yet. This makes sure that her DPS's attacks are maximized while making sure her Energy Regen is enough to reliably cast her Resonance Liberation for the juicy coordinated attacks. Just make sure to focus on rolling some Basic Attack DMG Bonus substats as well since her coordinated attacks scale off of that stat.
Zhezhi's option if she is being ran as the teams main DPS. This increases her general Glacio DMG by 10%. Zhezhi can also reliably proc the 4-pc effect because she will most likely use Basic and Heavy Attacks in her combos.
Zhezhi's Best Primary Echo
Nightmare: Lampylumen Myriad
The new best in slot option for Zhezhi. Maximizes both her Glacio DMG and Coordinated Attack DMG. This echo just works extremely well for her. Can summon really quickly without interrupting combos, perfect for Zhezhi.
Hecate
Hecate is a great Echo for Zhezhi as a Sub-DPS thanks to its ability to increase her Coordinated Attack DMG. Part of the Empyrean Anthem set of Echoes, Zhezhi's best Sonata Effect.
Impermanence Heron
Impermanence Heron is a great echo to use if you're using Zhezhi as a Sub-DPS. This maximizes the damage buffs provided by Zhezhi combined with her Outro Skill's Resonance Skill and Glacio DMG buffs.
Lampylumen Myriad
Increases Zhezhi's Glacio DMG so this is great if you're using Zhezhi as the main DPS of your team. Great alternative if you don't have better Main DPS units that Zhezhi can buff with her Outro Skill.

Her Skill has a lengthy cooldown, so it should be up by the time your supports are done with their combos., Switch to Shorekeeper and charge both her Resonance Liberation and Concerto Energy until both are ready. Use the former as soon as it is available, Once Concerto Energy is fully charged, switch to Zhezhi to activate an Intro Skill and upgrade the Stellarealm from Shorekeeper., As Zhezhi, use her optimal combo to charge her Forte Circuit gauge.
