Best Echo Sets for

5pc

Eternal Radiance is Zani's best-in-slot echo set. As her kit mainly revolves around Spectro Frazzle DMG, she maximizes the bonuses provided by the set. Capitaneus, a 3-cost echo, is currently the best in slot for Zani because it provides Heavy ATK and Spectro DMG Bonuses.

5pc

A secondary option for Zani early game due to it being more accessible than Eternal Radiance. Though Zani's Spectro Frazzle DMG will not benefit with this set, her Spectro DMG will still receive a buff, making this a decent early set.

's Best Primary Echo

Capitaneus is the best in slot option for Zani as it provides Heavy ATK DMG Bonus and Spectro DMG Bonus. The echo also provides decent damage and will not interrupt Zani's rotation since you just summon it. Capitaneus is pretty hard to farm though, so Nightmare: Mourning Aix is a viable option. If you have a bunch of non-Spectro DMG Bonus Capitaneus lying around, consider using Data Modifiers to change its main stats to Spectro DMG Bonus.

Nightmare: Mourning Aix is the second viable option for Zani because of the Spectro DMG Bonus it provides. The echo also deals increased damage against Frazzled enemies and it can be summoned without interrupting Zani's combos. It is easier to farm than Capitaneus, so use this if you do not have a good Capitaneus echo yet.

A decent echo choice early game if Zani is using Celestial Light. Other echoes are significantly better with the Eternal Radiance on her, so switch to it when you get copies of the other echoes.

Best Tips & Tricks for

Push for 115% - 120% Energy Regen. Based on testing, Zani needs to use her Resonance Liberation to deal most of her damage. You will need at least around 115% to 120% Energy Regen to effectively activate her Liberation within her rotation. Energy Regen requirements will mostly depend on team compositions, but having at least 115% is great.
Focus on her Crit. Ratio and get 2 Spectro DMG 3-Cost echoes on her. For sub-stats, balance Crit-related stats and go for Heavy Attack DMG when possible. Also, ATK% and Energy Regen.

Best Teams for

Spectro Frazzle Premium Team

Being the Main DPS, Zani wants as much Spectro Frazzle stacks to convert into Heliacal Embers. Players will want to pair her with Phoebe as she is currently the best applicator in the game with her Confession state. Phoebe can run either Moonlit Clouds or Eternal Radiance, with Moonlit Clouds providing extra ER for Phoebe and ATK increase to Zani. On the other hand, Eternal Radiance will let Phoebe deal more damage but you will have to rely on additional ER substat rolls. As for the third slot, Shorekeeper fits the team well as she provides Zani with extra stats and team-wide buffs that will increase her damage potential further., 1. Initiate combat with Zani and build up her Redundant Energy with her Basic Attack combo. This will help her maximize her Inferno Mode rotation later on., 2. Switch to Shorekeeper and go through her kit. Cast her Resonance Liberation and have her Concerto Energy filled before swapping to Phoebe., 3. Have Phoebe enter Confession mode and stack Spectro Frazzle stacks with two Heavy Attacks and her Resonance Liberation., 4. Once her Concerto Gauge is full, switch to Zani., 5. Enter combat via her Intro Skill to get a Spectro DMG Bonus increase., 6. With her Redundant Energy being full, cast her transformed Resonance Skill to deal decent damage and enter her Sunburst Mode and get a 20% Spectro Frazzle DMG amplification., 7. Next, cast Resonance Liberation to enter her Inferno Mode., 8. In Inferno Mode, do two sets of Heavy Slash combos to deplete her Blaze stacks. Each Blaze stack increase her DMG multipliers., 9. Once her Blaze stacks are depleted, you will be primed to use her second Liberation. Cast it to deal big damage against enemies., 10. Lastly, switch to Shorekeeper to detonate her Stellarealm. Repeat until all enemies are defeated., Note: You may also opt switch to Shorekeeper (if Concerto is full) before using Zani's second Liberation in case your Shorekeeper Stellarealm is close to expiring to ensure that Shorekeeper's Intro Skill is triggered. You may then switch back to Zani and use her second Liberation, and finally back to Shorekeeper for her combos.

Zani works well even in F2P teams, as Spectro Rover is a great Spectro Frazzle applicator that is accessible to all players. Pair them with Baizhi or Verina to ensure survivability while also getting team-wide buffs. Alternatively, consider having the Heavy Attack Frazzle team instead especially in the early game, as Zani can output more damage this way in exchange for little to no heals., 1. Start with Zani and quickly build her Redundant Energy stacks using her Basic Attack combo up to her Breakthrough attack., 2. Next, switch to Rover without waiting for Zani's Concerto gauge to be filled., 3. Build up Spectro Frazzle stacks with Rover by casting their Resonance Liberation and two instances of their Resonance Skill. Then, switch to Zani., 4. Enter via her Intro Skill to amplify her damage. Once her transformed Resonance Skill is available, cast it to increase her damage via Sunburst Mode., 5. Next, use her Resonance Liberation to enter Inferno Mode., 6. Do Heavy Slash combos with her attacks. Using her Resonance Skill, you can parry enemies before they hit you to fully negate their attacks., 7. Once her Blaze stacks are depleted with her Heavy Slashes, cast Resonance Liberation again to perform The Last Stand, dealing high damage., 8. If Resonators are running low on HP, heal them with Baizhi. Repeat this until enemies are defeated.

Heavy Attack Frazzle Team

Mortefi must have his Sequence Node 4 to use Empyrean Anthem. Spectro Rover must have their Sequence Node 4 to make this team work.

Players can run Zani together with Mortefi and Rover (Spectro) to have a more damage-oriented setup. Mortefi is a good Sub-DPS for Zani as he provides a significant Heavy Attack DMG amplification and decent off-field damage with his Coordinated Attacks, but falls short as he has no Spectro Frazzle application for Zani to cast her Heavy Slash combos. Rover (Spectro) fixes this issue in the third slot by being a dedicated Spectro Frazzle applicator. However, we recommend equipping Rejuvenating Glow on them to provide more consistent sustain and ATK buffs to the team., 1. Have Zani enter combat and do her Basic Attack combo until Breakthrough to fill her Redundant Energy gauge., 2. Without Concerto Gauge filled, swap to Rover and do their optimal attack combo to fill half of their Forte gauge quickly. Cast their Resonance Skill afterwards to apply 2 stacks of Spectro Frazzle., 3. Next, switch to Mortefi and use his Skill resets and Basic Attacks to build up his Concerto and Resonance Energy., 4. Switch again to Rover while Mortefi's Concerto Gauge isn't full., 5. With Rover, cast Resonance Liberation and another cast of their Resonance Skill: Resonating Spin to apply Spectro Frazzle stacks quickly., 6. Once their Concerto gauge is full, switch again to Mortefi., 7. Have Mortefi finally cast his Resonance Liberation, followed by his Echo skill and Resonance Skill to reach maximum Concerto Energy., 8. When Outro Skill is available, switch to Zani to provide her with Heavy Attack DMG amplification together with her Spectro DMG Bonus increase through her Intro Skill., 9. Once her Transformed Skill is available, cast it to deal decent damage and give her another Spectro Frazzle DMG amplification buff., 10. Next, cast her Resonance Liberation to enter Inferno Mode., 11. In Inferno Mode, deal Heavy Slash combos and consume Blaze to increase her DMG multipliers. Use her Resonance Skill, if needed, to block damage and fully counter enemies., 12. When her Blaze stacks are depleted, cast Resonance Liberation again to exit Inferno Mode and deal great damage to enemies., 13. Repeat until no more enemies are left in the field.
