Zhuang Fangyi

SS

Rated SS because Zhuang Fangyi acts as an Electric hypercarry whose raw damage can simply overwhelm a large portion of Challenge content. She covers single-target, AoE, and multi-wave fights once her Ultimate is online, though her slow ramp-up and heavy reliance on Electric Infliction from allies make her team options narrow.
This endgame setup turns Zhuang Fangyi into a pure Electric damage engine. Lone Barge is paired with the Xiranflow set so that each Battle Skill cast, which consumes Electrification, also refreshes the set's Electric and Nature DMG stacks, while LYNX Slab covers the off-piece slot to feed her Will and Intellect scalings. The result is a build that maximizes Battle Skill Thunder Strike damage and Ultimate-fed burst windows rather than durability. If a stage punishes slow Ultimate cycles, the armor can be swapped to Bonekrusha Poncho T1 alongside Xiranflow Baton, or LYNX Slab can be replaced with Eternal Xiranite Auxiliary Arm; both exchanges intentionally give up some damage in return for more frequent access to Smiting Tempest, making them situational choices rather than strict upgrades.

Insights

Core Mechanics

  • Sunderblades are produced by Mantra of Sundering: consuming a higher Electrification level summons more blades, and each blade present adds extra Thunder Strikes to the Battle Skill.
  • Electrification is applied through Breath of Transformation, which triggers when a Final Strike or Finisher connects with an enemy carrying Electric Infliction stacks.
  • Smiting Tempest enters the Empyrean of Truth state, extending ranges, speeding up the Combo Skill cooldown, and making the first Battle Skill free with three guaranteed Sunderblades.
  • The field can hold up to 9 Sunderblades at a time, and their uptime can be extended by the third Potential.

Scaling

  • Her output grows as a fight goes on: more Sunderblades on the field and a faster-charged Ultimate translate directly into higher damage.
  • She is heavily reliant on teammates supplying Electric Infliction, because her Combo Skill needs it to begin the Electrification loop.
  • Her core support is free, so enabling her is cheap, but the ceiling rises with investment into Ultimate Gain and Electric DMG.

Team Role

Zhuang Fangyi is a main damage dealer built around an Electrification-to-Sunderblade loop, so she occupies the hypercarry slot and expects the rest of the team to feed her Electric Infliction and keep her Ultimate cycling. Supports or sub-DPS operators that reliably apply Electric Infliction let her Combo Skill fire consistently, which in turn lets the Battle Skill consume a level 2 Electrification for the maximum three Sunderblades. Because her damage is concentrated in the Battle Skill and amplified during the Empyrean of Truth window, she wants buffs that raise Electric DMG, Battle Skill DMG, and Ultimate Energy generation rather than generic defensive support. She plays as the on-field controlled operator, using Final Strikes and Finishers to start the loop, and she fits best in teams with a low-cost enabler plus one or two buffers so the rest of the squad can be built freely around her.

Explanation

Lone Barge leads the list because it lifts ATK, Electric DMG, and Battle Skill DMG, and the Battle Skill is where the majority of her damage is concentrated.
Flickers in the Mist from the Protocol Pass is a workable substitute that supplies ATK and Electric DMG, and Oblivion serves as a straightforward stat stick for Arts DMG.
Xiranflow is the set of choice because consuming Electrification converts directly into a large Electric DMG spike; the alternate combinations only make sense when a fight rewards faster Ultimate access over raw damage.

Notes

  • Xiranflow's effect is easy to keep active because Mantra of Sundering consumes Electrification, stacking up to three separate +15% Electric and Nature DMG buffs lasting 25s each.
  • LYNX Slab fills the off-piece slot, supplying Intellect and Will; Will is her primary attribute so the boost is especially valuable.
  • Swapping the armor for Bonekrusha Poncho T1 with Xiranflow Baton trades damage for extra Ultimate Gain, while replacing LYNX Slab with Eternal Xiranite Auxiliary Arm raises Ultimate uptime further at an even larger damage cost.
