Zani Skill Breakdown
Normal Attack: Silent Negotiation |
The 3rd hit triggers "Breakthrough" chain, enabling a 4th high-damage strike (can be executed after dodging). |
Heavy/plunging attacks consume Stamina; perfect dodges grant counter windows. |
Resonance Skill: Sleepless Vigil |
Block & Counter: Hold to defend, triggering precision counter on hit (reduces enemy Resonance). |
Aggressive Assault: At full Redundant Energy, unleash a dash attack that stacks "Scorching Embers". |
Resonance Liberation: Dawn-Dusk Transition |
[Rekindle] Deal Spectro DMG and enter Inferno State: Infernal Light increases from 100 to 150. Under Inferno state, basic attack multiplier increases. |
[End of Judgement] During Infernal state, when Infernal Light is less than 30, unlock resonance liberation End of Judgement. Performing End of Judgement deals spectro dmg and exits Infernal State. |
Forte Circuit: Dimming Night to Brightness |
Allies applying Spectro Frazzle instantly detonate stacks, converting them to Bright Sun's ember. |
Bright Sun's ember count as Spectro Frazzle, triggering Bright Sun's Ember effects. |

Zani Weapon Recommendations
BiS: Blazing Justice (★★★★★)

- Verity's Handle
- Abyss Surges
4★ Options:
- Legend of Drunken Hero
- Stonard
- Celestial Spiral
> Note: Zani’s playstyle heavily relies on her signature weapon. Prioritize pulling it if possible.

- 5pc: +30% Spectro DMG after Outro Skill (15s).

Team Comps
1. Spectro Frazzle Hypercarry:
- Zani + Phoebe (Effect stacking) + Shorekeeper (CRIT buffs).
2. Budget-Friendly:
- Zani + Rover Spectro + Baizhi (heals/buffs).
3. Dual-DPS Core:
- Zani + Ciaccona (CC/DMG amp) + Verina (sustain).
Pull Advice & Verdict
Zani excels in high-skill Spectro teams, with her C2 (CRIT + Aggressive Assault boost) and signature weapon being major power spikes. In wuwa 2.3, she synergizes powerfully with Ciaccona for speedrun comps, especially in endgame content.
