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.
endgamedpslate_gamehypercarryelectricdpsburst
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.

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.

The early game version of Zhuang Fangyi keeps her damage functional with minimal investment. Monaihe supplies Ultimate Gain so her Smiting Tempest window arrives more often, while the Mordvolt Insulation set with the Mordvolt Resistant Vest off-piece contributes Arts DMG and Intellect to support her kit. The whole setup prioritizes Attack and Will so her abilities still hit meaningfully before endgame weapons and sets are farmed. Treat this as a stepping stone: once Xiranflow gear and Lone Barge are obtained, the endgame hypercarry configuration replaces it entirely.

Explanation
Monaihe is the accessible pick at this stage because it provides Ultimate Gain and Will, the attributes she cares about most while gearing up.
Mordvolt Insulation with the Mordvolt Resistant Vest as the off-piece covers both Arts DMG and Attack, filling the gaps of a fresh account.
This configuration is a bridge build meant to be replaced once Xiranflow pieces and Lone Barge become available.
Notes
- Mordvolt Insulation adds Intellect and gives an Arts DMG boost while HP stays above 80%, which props up her damage during early progression.
- Monaihe is taken mainly for its Ultimate Gain and Will increases, helping her reach Smiting Tempest sooner before stronger weapons are unlocked.
- The build leans on Attack and Will to keep her damage respectable without needing rare gear.
Build Insights
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.
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.
Character Notes
Zhuang Fangyi is a 6-Star Electric Striker who wields an Arts Unit and scales primarily off Will with Intellect as her secondary attribute. She is designed as a hypercarry: her Combo Skill converts incoming Electric Infliction into Electrification, her Battle Skill consumes that Electrification to summon Sunderblades, and those blades add extra Thunder Strikes to every subsequent cast. Her Ultimate, Smiting Tempest, transforms her into the Empyrean of Truth, widening her attacks, accelerating the Combo Skill and making the first Battle Skill free with three guaranteed Sunderblades. The result is a character who starts a fight slowly but converts stacking setup into enormous burst damage across single-target, AoE, and multi-wave content.
Playstyle
- Start the loop by landing a Final Strike or Finisher on an enemy holding two stacks of Electric Infliction so Breath of Transformation applies a level 2 Electrification.
- Immediately follow with Mantra of Sundering to eat that level 2 Electrification and spawn the maximum three Sunderblades.
- Delay Smiting Tempest until you want a full damage window; inside it the first Battle Skill is free, guarantees three blades, and applies Electric Infliction on its final hit so the loop restarts itself.
- Keep an eye on the field count of Sunderblades, since each one on the field adds another Thunder Strike to the Battle Skill's damage.
Strengths
- Very high damage ceiling that can clear or outright overpower much of the Challenge content.
- Works in single-target, AoE, and multi-wave encounters because the Ultimate broadens ranges and extends the Combo Skill to nearby enemies.
- Her essential support is free, so building a functional team around her stays inexpensive.
- Ignores interruption during the Empyrean of Truth and gains a damage-immunity plus self-heal talent for extra survivability.
Weaknesses
- Slow opening: she must stack Sunderblades and charge her Ultimate before her damage really shows.
- Team construction is restrictive because she depends on allies providing Electric Infliction.
- Her damage profile is heavily tied to Ultimate uptime, so poor Ultimate generation noticeably reduces her output.
Team Guide
bestelectric_teamburst_team
Zhuang Fangyi anchors this all-Electric lineup as the main carry, with Perlica and Liino layering buffs and Electrification while Arclight feeds SP so the rotation stays centered on Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill. Constant Electrification applications get consumed to grow her Sunderblade stacks, ramping the damage toward a full 9-stack burst once she enters her Ultimate.
Explanation
Perlica and Liino keep Electric Infliction and Electrification flowing so Zhuang Fangyi can convert them into Sunderblade stacks.
Arclight generates SP with her Combo Skill, letting the loop revolve around repeated Zhuang Fangyi Battle Skills.
Liino also handles party healing and saves her Ultimate to strengthen the team's buffs right as Zhuang Fangyi bursts.
Strengths
- Very high Electric burst once Zhuang Fangyi reaches 9 Sunderblade stacks.
- Arclight's SP generation keeps the Battle Skill loop running with little downtime.
Weaknesses
- Most of the damage rides on Zhuang Fangyi's Ultimate window.
- Poor Combo Skill timing or SP management noticeably lowers output.
Rotation
- 1Lead with Liino's Battle Skill to start buffing and healing the party.
- 2Perform a Final Strike with Zhuang Fangyi, then chain Perlica's Combo Skill for level 1 Electrification, Arclight's Combo Skill for SP, and Liino's Combo Skill for her own Ultimate Energy.
- 3Cast Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to consume the Electrification and gain 2 Sunderblade stacks.
- 4Use Perlica's Battle Skill for Electric Infliction, Final Strike with Zhuang Fangyi, then trigger her Combo Skill to consume the Infliction and reapply Electrification.
- 5Trigger Arclight's Combo Skill for SP, then cast Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill for 2 more Sunderblade stacks.
- 6Land two Final Strikes with Zhuang Fangyi, then follow up with Perlica's, Arclight's, and Liino's Combo Skills in that order.
- 7Cast Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to consume the Electrification and add 2 more Sunderblade stacks.
- 8Use Perlica's Battle Skill, Final Strike with Zhuang Fangyi, then trigger her Combo Skill and Arclight's Combo Skill.
- 9Another Zhuang Fangyi Battle Skill consumes the level 1 Electrification while adding 2 stacks.
- 10Final Strike with Zhuang Fangyi, trigger Perlica's Combo Skill, then Arclight's and Liino's Combo Skills.
- 11Cast Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to consume Electrification and build charge toward her Ultimate.
- 12Enter Zhuang Fangyi's Ultimate state, use Liino's Ultimate for stronger buffs and enemy Electrification, then trigger Arclight's Combo Skill.
Start at zero Energy and build up until Zhuang Fangyi can enter her Ultimate; hold her Battle Skill briefly to align it with Arclight's Combo Skill cooldown for extra value.
alternativeelectric_teamburst_team
This variant keeps the Perlica and Arclight backbone and slots Antal into the flex position, where he contributes Focus, buffs, and debuffs that push Zhuang Fangyi's damage ceiling higher. The aim is the same: funnel Electrification into Zhuang Fangyi so she reaches 9 Sunderblade stacks, then unload during her Ultimate.
Explanation
Antal takes the flex slot and adds Focus plus buffs and debuffs on top of Zhuang Fangyi's own damage.
Perlica and Arclight remain the engine, supplying Electric Infliction and SP.
Order Perlica ahead of Zhuang Fangyi in the party menu so her Combo Skill applies Electrification before Arclight consumes it, and let Arclight's Combo Skill animation finish before applying or consuming Electrification again.
Strengths
- Higher damage ceiling than the basic core thanks to Antal's buffs and debuffs.
- Still reaches the full 9 Sunderblade cap reliably for Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill.
Weaknesses
- Depends on precise Combo Skill ordering to avoid wasting Electrification.
- Antal's value comes from buff windows, so mistimed Ultimates reduce the payoff.
Rotation
- 1Cast Antal's Battle Skill to apply Focus, then enter Zhuang Fangyi's Ultimate.
- 2Use Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill for a stack of Electric Infliction and summon 3 Sunderblades.
- 3Trigger Antal's Combo Skill to add a second stack of Electric Infliction.
- 4Final Strike with Zhuang Fangyi and trigger Perlica's Combo Skill, but hold Zhuang Fangyi's Combo Skill for now.
- 5Cast Arclight's Battle Skill to consume Perlica's Electrification, then trigger Zhuang Fangyi's Combo Skill to consume the inflictions and apply level 2 Electrification.
- 6Trigger Arclight's Combo Skill, cast Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to consume the Electrification and reach 6 Sunderblades, then trigger Arclight's Combo Skill again.
- 7Final Strike with Zhuang Fangyi, then use Perlica's Battle Skill or Arclight's Ultimate to bring Electric Infliction back to 2 stacks.
- 8Trigger Zhuang Fangyi's Combo Skill to consume the inflictions and apply level 2 Electrification; if Arclight's Ultimate was used, fire it immediately so Arclight does not steal the inflictions.
- 9Trigger Arclight's Combo Skill, cast Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to max out Sunderblades and deal damage, then trigger Arclight's Combo Skill once more.
- 10Use Antal's Ultimate followed by Perlica's Ultimate to apply the Electric Amp.
- 11Cast Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to trigger another Arclight Combo Skill.
- 12Final Strike with Zhuang Fangyi to trigger Perlica's Combo Skill, then use Zhuang Fangyi's Combo Skill to trigger one more Arclight Combo Skill.
- 13Squeeze in one last Zhuang Fangyi Battle Skill before her Ultimate state expires.
Antal opens with Focus, Zhuang Fangyi takes her Ultimate early, and the team races to 9 Sunderblades while Arclight fuels SP; Antal's and Perlica's Ultimates are held for the damage peak.
alternativeelectric_team
Swapping Alesh into the flex slot turns this into a faster, smoother version of the core team. Alesh's extra SP generation lets Zhuang Fangyi reach 9 Sunderblades sooner and then squeeze in additional Battle Skills before her Ultimate ends, while Perlica and Arclight keep supplying Infliction and SP.
Explanation
Alesh adds extra SP to the team, which speeds up Zhuang Fangyi's climb to 9 Sunderblade stacks.
Perlica and Arclight stay as the Electrification and SP core.
Skip Alesh's Ultimate here, because its Cryo Infliction can disrupt the Electric rotation; use Perlica's Ultimate any time an enemy carries at least level 2 Electrification.
Strengths
- Reaches maximum Sunderblade stacks faster than the Antal version, allowing up to 3 extra Battle Skills.
- Smoother SP flow means fewer gaps between Zhuang Fangyi's damage windows.
Weaknesses
- Alesh's Ultimate must be avoided, restricting some of her kit.
- Still fragile if the Electrification chain is interrupted.
Rotation
- 1Enter Zhuang Fangyi's Ultimate and cast her free Battle Skill for a stack of Electric Infliction and 3 Sunderblades.
- 2Final Strike with Zhuang Fangyi, trigger Perlica's Combo Skill, then Zhuang Fangyi's Combo Skill to push Electrification to level 2, then Arclight's Combo Skill for SP; fire Perlica's Ultimate while level 2 Electrification is active.
- 3Cast Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to consume level 2 Electrification and summon 3 more Sunderblades, then trigger Alesh's Combo Skill.
- 4Perform a Final Strike with Zhuang Fangyi and hold her Combo Skill for now.
- 5Use Perlica's Battle Skill or Arclight's Ultimate for a second Electric Infliction stack, then trigger Zhuang Fangyi's Combo Skill; if Arclight's Ultimate was used, fire her Combo Skill first so she does not eat the inflictions.
- 6Trigger Arclight's Combo Skill, then cast Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to consume level 2 Electrification and summon the final 3 Sunderblades.
- 7Final Strike with Zhuang Fangyi, trigger her Combo Skill and Arclight's Combo Skill, then cast another Battle Skill.
- 8Final Strike once more, then use Perlica's and Zhuang Fangyi's Combo Skills before finishing with another Battle Skill.
Alesh accelerates the SP economy so Zhuang Fangyi hits 9 Sunderblades quickly, then chains several more Battle Skills inside the same Ultimate window.
alternativeelectric_teamburst_team
This comp fields two Electric carries at once. Avywenna plants her Thunderlances while Zhuang Fangyi handles the active damage, and the pair cash out together when Zhuang Fangyi caps at 9 Sunderblades and Avywenna recalls her Thunderlances for a large burst. Perlica and Arclight keep Electrification and SP running underneath.
Explanation
Splitting damage across Zhuang Fangyi and Avywenna covers Zhuang Fangyi's downtime while setting up a combined burst.
Perlica and Arclight feed the carries with Electrification, Electric Infliction, and SP.
Place Perlica before Zhuang Fangyi in the menu so her Combo Skill applies Electrification first for Arclight to consume and proc her Wildland Trekker talent.
Strengths
- Two damage threats make the team less reliant on a single Ultimate window.
- Avywenna's Thunderlance recall lines up with Zhuang Fangyi's 9-stack burst for a huge combined hit.
Weaknesses
- Splitting field time means each carry gets fewer active seconds.
- The Combo Skill order is strict, and diverting Electrification to the wrong unit wastes stacks.
Rotation
- 1Cast Zhuang Fangyi's Ultimate to begin the burst window.
- 2Use Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill for a stack of Electric Infliction and 3 Sunderblades.
- 3Final Strike with Zhuang Fangyi and trigger Perlica's Combo Skill, holding the other Combo Skills.
- 4Cast Arclight's Battle Skill to consume the Electrification, then trigger Zhuang Fangyi's, Avywenna's, and Arclight's Combo Skills.
- 5After Arclight's Combo Skill animation ends, use Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to consume level 2 Electrification, summon 3 more Sunderblades, and reapply Electric Infliction; then trigger Arclight's Combo Skill again.
- 6Final Strike with Zhuang Fangyi, cast Arclight's Ultimate for a second Electric Infliction stack, then immediately trigger Zhuang Fangyi's Combo Skill before Arclight consumes the inflictions.
- 7Trigger Arclight's Combo Skill for SP, cast Avywenna's Ultimate for Electric Susceptibility, then Perlica's Ultimate for the first burst.
- 8Cast Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to consume level 2 Electrification and summon the last 3 Sunderblades, then trigger Arclight's Combo Skill.
- 9Farm SP, then cast Avywenna's Battle Skill to retrieve her Thunderlances and apply one Electric Infliction stack.
- 10Final Strike with Zhuang Fangyi to trigger Perlica's, Zhuang Fangyi's, Avywenna's, and Arclight's Combo Skills in that order.
- 11Use Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to trigger Arclight's Combo Skill before her Ultimate form ends.
Zhuang Fangyi opens her Ultimate and builds Sunderblades while Avywenna sets Thunderlances, culminating in a synchronized burst of both carries with Perlica's and Arclight's Ultimates layered in.

A budget-friendly version built from easy-to-acquire units. Perlica adds extra Infliction to feed Zhuang Fangyi's Sunderblade stacking, while Antal and Akekuri lift her damage through Susceptibility, Amp, and Link. The rotation is shorter than the premium builds but still funnels everything into a maxed-out Zhuang Fangyi Battle Skill.
Explanation
Perlica provides the additional Electric Infliction that the combo needs.
Antal and Akekuri support damage with Susceptibility, Amp, and Link effects.
Put Zhuang Fangyi ahead of Perlica in the party menu so she consumes her own Infliction first and later overwrites Perlica's weaker Electrification with her own.
Strengths
- Cheap to assemble, using widely available characters.
- Still reaches maximum Sunderblade stacks for a solid damage payoff.
Weaknesses
- Lower ceiling than the SP-heavy Arclight teams.
- Fewer Electrification sources means the rotation is less forgiving of mistakes.
Rotation
- 1Cast Antal's Battle Skill to apply Focus, then enter Zhuang Fangyi's Ultimate.
- 2Use Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill for one stack of Electric Infliction and 3 Sunderblades.
- 3Trigger Antal's Combo Skill to raise Electric Infliction to 2 stacks.
- 4Final Strike with Zhuang Fangyi, then trigger her Combo Skill to consume the inflictions and apply level 2 Electrification, but hold Perlica's Combo Skill.
- 5Cast Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to reach 6 Sunderblades and reapply a stack of Electric Infliction.
- 6Use Perlica's Battle Skill to push Electric Infliction back to 2 stacks.
- 7Perform a Final Strike with Zhuang Fangyi, then trigger her Combo Skill again for another level 2 Electrification.
- 8Use Akekuri's Ultimate to apply Link.
- 9Cast Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to max out Sunderblades and deal the damage.
Antal opens with Focus and Zhuang Fangyi takes her Ultimate early; Perlica tops up Infliction stacks and Akekuri's Link buffs the finishing Battle Skill.
Team Insights
Zhuang Fangyi is played as the primary damage dealer of an Electric team. Her kit revolves around consuming Electrification applied by allies to build Sunderblade stacks, then dumping that stored power during her Ultimate window. The most valuable partners are units that apply Electric Infliction (Perlica, Liino) and units that restore SP (Arclight, Alesh, Akekuri). Damage amplifiers such as Antal or a second carry like Avywenna round out the roster. The trio of Perlica, Arclight, and Zhuang Fangyi appears in almost every recommended variant, with the fourth slot flexed for buffs, SP, or a second DPS.
Synergy Patterns
- Electrification from Perlica, Liino, or Zhuang Fangyi's own Combo Skill is consumed by her Battle Skill to add Sunderblade stacks.
- Arclight's Combo Skill restores SP, and the team should let its animation finish before applying or consuming Electrification again.
- Ultimates from Liino, Antal, Perlica, or Akekuri are held until Zhuang Fangyi reaches her burst window to amplify her damage.
Tips
- For SP-focused variants, place Perlica before Zhuang Fangyi in the party menu so her Combo Skill applies Electrification first for Arclight to consume.
- In the F2P setup, order Zhuang Fangyi ahead of Perlica so she uses her own Infliction first and overwrites Perlica's weaker Electrification later.
- The goal is 9 Sunderblade stacks, so chain Battle Skills around Electrification consumption to get there as fast as possible.
- Slightly delaying Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to line up with Arclight's Combo Skill cooldown can add a bit of extra damage.
