Wuthering Waves Zhezhi kit and gameplay guide

Before we dive into how you can optimally play Zhezhi and learn her rotations, let's take a look at her kit to understand how she works.

Forte Circuit

Zhezhi's Forte Circuit is divided into three bars called Afflatus. You can activate these parts, allowing her to gain Phantasmic Imprint, indicated by a Crane symbol appearing on your screen.

Once you have summoned these Phantasmic Imprints, you can use her skill to teleport to them and deal significant damage by pressing or holding the basic attack. You can charge Afflatus and activate the Phantasmic Imprint by dealing damage to enemies constantly.

Resonance Skill

Zhezhi's skill has a few stages that assist her in dealing damage. If you use it without any Afflatus, it will just deal Glacio damage. But if you activate it while Zhezhi has Phantasmic Imprint, you can teleport to one such mark and deal massive instances of Glacio Damage by pressing or holding the basic attack.

Using her Resonance Skill will consume one stack of Afflatus, and you will need to recharge it by damaging enemies with basic attacks.
