6★DPSElectricArts Unit

6★ Electric Main DPS Striker introduced in V1.2, widely regarded as one of the strongest operators in the game. Zhuang Fangyi is a ranged Arts Unit user who creates Sunderblades to unleash continuous Thunder Strikes and consumes Arts Reactions (Electrification) with her battle skills for sustained Electric DMG. Her Ultimate transforms her into the Empyrean of Truth for an enhanced damage window. She rewards high skill frequency, aiming for four battle skill casts per rotation with combo skills woven in.

Build Focus

Will (primary attribute) and Intellect, then Electric DMG, ATK%, and Ultimate Gain Efficiency. Build around maintaining near-100% Electrification uptime (ideally with Perlica) so her battle skills always have Arts Reactions to consume, and stack Ultimate Gain so she can reach four skill casts plus three combo skills per rotation. The Xiranflow set rewards consuming Electrification, making it her BiS endgame gear.

Skill Priority

Battle Skill > Ultimate > Combo Skill > Normal Attack

Playstyle

Zhuang Fangyi is a ranged Electric Main DPS who consumes Electrification (Arts Reactions) with her battle skills for sustained Thunder Strikes. Maintain near-100% Electrification uptime, ideally with Perlica, then spam battle skills (aim for four casts per rotation) and weave three combo skills. Cast her Ultimate to enter Empyrean of Truth for a large Battle Skill Electric DMG window that aligns with Lone Barge and Xiranflow buffs. Build Will, Electric DMG, ATK%, and Ultimate Gain Efficiency. Pair with Arclight for SP and Gilberta to group enemies for her chain lightning.

Final Build Optimization

Rotation

Maintain Electrification on the target (ideally via Perlica), then cast battle skills that consume Arts Reactions for stacking Battle Skill Electric DMG. Weave combo skills, then cast Ultimate to enter Empyrean of Truth and gain the +40% Battle Skill Electric DMG window. Aim for four battle skill casts plus three combo skills per rotation.

Timing

Open by establishing Electrification uptime, build SP with Arclight or Perlica, then funnel battle skills during the Ultimate window when Lone Barge and Xiranflow buffs are both active. Keep Electrification near 100% uptime so every battle skill has a reaction to consume.

Quick Reference
Min-Max Tips
1.

Keep Electrification uptime near 100% so battle skills always have Arts Reactions to consume

2.

Aim for four battle skill casts plus three combo skills per rotation, the Xiranflow LYNX Slab variant enables this

3.

If your team cannot fund four skill casts, use the Bonekrusha Poncho variant for more battle skill damage

4.

Cast Ultimate to enter Empyrean of Truth and unlock the +40% Battle Skill Electric DMG window from Lone Barge

5.

Will is her primary attribute, so favor Will and Electric DMG over raw crit unless your weapon is Oblivion

6.

Perlica P5 placement and good rotation timing maximize Electrification uptime and team Electric DMG buffs

7.

Lone Barge is the highest-value pull for Zhuang mains thanks to its battle skill and ultimate synergy

8.

P0 viable: she is a top-tier carry without any promotions, and supports gain the most from extra copies

Zhuang Fangyi Build FAQ

What is Zhuang Fangyi's best weapon?
Lone Barge, her V1.2 signature 6★ Arts Unit, is BiS (about 117% DPS at R9). It grants Electric DMG, a stacking Battle Skill Electric DMG buff when she consumes Arts Reactions, and a large +40% Battle Skill Electric DMG window after her Ultimate. The best F2P option is Flickers in the Mist (about 85% DPS at R9) from Arsenal Exchange, with Oblivion as a crit-focused alternative.
What gear set should Zhuang Fangyi use?
Xiranflow 3pc is BiS. It grants ATK +10% and converts her Electrification or Corrosion consumption into stacking Electric and Nature DMG (up to 3 stacks). Run the LYNX Slab off-piece variant (Xiranflow Light Armor + Gloves + Baton + LYNX Slab) for four-skill, three-combo rotations, or the Bonekrusha Poncho variant (Bonekrusha Poncho + Xiranflow Gloves + 2 Baton) when you cannot reach four skill casts. Aburrey's Legacy 3pc is a strong Tier 2 step before Xiranflow.
Is Zhuang Fangyi worth building?
Yes. Zhuang Fangyi is regarded as one of the strongest operators in the game, a top-tier Electric Main DPS who can take the majority of a team's damage share. She is P0 viable and anchors the premier Electric core of Zhuang plus Arclight (SP), Perlica (Electrification engine), and Gilberta (grouping).
What stats should Zhuang Fangyi prioritize?
Will is her primary attribute, with Intellect as a secondary. Prioritize Electric DMG, ATK%, and enough Ultimate Gain Efficiency to enable four skill casts plus three combos per rotation. Critical Rate and Critical DMG matter mainly if you run the Oblivion weapon. Build everything around her battle skill damage and Electrification uptime.
How does Zhuang Fangyi's rotation work?
Keep Electrification on the target so her battle skills can consume Arts Reactions, then cast battle skills to stack Battle Skill Electric DMG. Cast her Ultimate to enter the Empyrean of Truth window, which pairs with Lone Barge's +40% Battle Skill Electric DMG. The goal is four battle skill casts plus three combo skills per rotation, which the Xiranflow plus LYNX Slab gear enables. Perlica is the ideal partner for near-100% Electrification uptime.
