The most famous artist of Solaris-3 is in the middle of a journey through Jinzhou to get inspiration and complete all her pending art commissions. Zhezhi is so experienced that she knows the dangers of Wuthering Waves, so she’s prepared with all her art supplies, her build, and a weapon in case her team is attacked by any Echoes. Once this painter reaches her maximum inspiration point, nothing and no one should try to stop her. I don’t recommend that you interrupt an artist during working hours.
Best Weapons for Zhezhi in Wuthering Waves
In her workshop, Zhezhi keeps an endless array of tools to create masterpieces, but these are her favorites:
| Rime-Draped Sprouts (5-star) | Increases ATK by 12%. Using Resonance Skill gives the equipped Resonator 12% Basic Attack DMG Bonus for 6s, stacking up to 3 times. When casting Outro Skill with 3 stacks, consume all stacks to give 52% DMG Bonus to the off-field Basic Attacks performed by the equipped Resonator, lasting for 27s. |
| Cosmic Ripples (5-star) | Increases Energy Regen by 12.8%. When hitting a target with Basic Attacks, increases Basic Attack DMG Bonus by 3.2%, stacking up to 5 time(s). This effect lasts for 8s and can be triggered 1 time(s) every 0.5s. |
| Stringmaster (5-star) | Increases the DMG Bonus by 12%. When dealing Resonance Skill DMG, increases ATK by 12%, stacking up to 2. This effect lasts for 5s. When the equipped Resonator is not on the field, increases their ATK by an additional 12%. |
| Augment (4-star) | When Resonance Liberation is released, increases the caster’s ATK by 48%, lasting for 15s. |
Rime-Draped Sprouts is Zhezhi’s Signature weapon, although it is also beneficial for more Wuthering Waves Resonators with a build focused on using more Basic Attacks and Resonator Skills. To get the inspiration flowing along with a CRIT RATE and ATK% boost, better use Stringmaster. However, with Cosmic Ripples, you can improve the ATK% of this artist by recharging energy for her next job. Augment is a more affordable option that also offers a CRIT RATE boost.
Best Echo Sets
Zhezhi sometimes enjoys taking references in nature, such as Echoes, and these are the ones she prefers to portray the most:
| Moonlit Clouds | Freezing Frost |
| 5 Set: Energy Regen increases by 10% + Upon using Outro Skill, ATK of the next Resonator increases by 22.5% for 15s. Main Echo: Impermanence Heron. Effect: Transform into Impermanence Heron to fly up and smack down, dealing 310.56% Havoc DMG. Long press to stay as Impermanence Heron Heron and continuously spit flames, each attack dealing 55.73% Havoc DMG. Once the initial attack lands on any enemy, the current character regains 10 Resonance Energy. If the current character uses their Outro Skill within the next 15s, the next character’s damage dealt will be boosted by 12% for 15s. | 5 Set: Glacio DMG increases by 10% + Upon using Basic Attack or Heavy Attack, Glacio DMG increases by 10%, stacking up to three times, lasting for 15s. Main Echo: Lampylumen Myriad. Effect: Transform into Lampylumen Myriad. Perform up to 3 consecutive attacks. Unleash a freezing shock by performing consecutive forward strikes, with the initial two strikes inflicting 200.16% and 200.16% Glacio DMG, respectively, and the final strike dealing 266.88% Glacio DMG. Enemies will be frozen on hit. Each shock increases the current character’s Glacio DMG by 4.00% and Resonance Skill DMG dealt by 4.00% for 15s, stacking up to 3 times. |
Best Stats: CRIT DMG, CRIT Rate, Glacio DMG, and ATK%.
When using the Impermanence Heron to get the boosts, then switch before triggering the Outro animation to transfer the buff to your DPS. With the Freezing Frost build, you can take advantage of the Lampylumen Myriad’s crow control abilities. Or you can also use the Glacio Predator to use more of the effect of this Echo, improving the Glacio DMG.
Best Team Comps
Previously, Zhezhi participated in some collaborations with entire teams of creative and resourceful people, such as:
| Jinhsi – Main DPS Zhezhi – Sub DPS Verina – Support | Lingyang – Main DPS Zhezhi – Sub DPS Baizhi – Support |
Zhezhi, because of her build, is the specialist in using Basic Attacks on her team, and it warrants achieving a complete rotation in Wuthering Waves. Start with Basic Attacks until you get her Forte Circuit, then use her Resonance Skills; with 3, you will get enough energy to fill her Concerto Energy and finish with Outro Skill. Remember to use her Echo first and her Resonance Liberation for Coordinated Attacks and the buffs; when you switch to your DPS, it will receive all the boosts.
If you want to give an artistic touch to Wuthering Waves, your Glacio team, or some builds, you should consider getting the talented painter, Zhezhi. It’s not all paint and canvas, though, because Zhezhi will be a great companion for some DPS, too.
