Best Zani build in Wuthering Waves: Weapons, Echoes, and teams

Currently employed by the Montelli family and the best employee of the Averado Vault’s security team, Zani is the latest playable character in Wuthering Waves.

Here’s a complete breakdown of Zani’s best build in Wuthering Waves, including weapons, Echoes, and teams.

Best Zani weapons in Wuthering Waves

Zani is a gauntlet user despite carrying a shield that transforms into a broadblade. There are a few decent options when it comes to weapons, regardless of whether you’re a free-to-play player, a spender, or have saved up enough Astrite for a five-star weapon.

Here are the best weapons for Zani:

Blazing Justice is Zani’s signature and is undoubtedly her best weapon. If you don’t have it, any five-star gauntlets with an offensive main stat will do fine, followed by the Stonard four-star gauntlets from the battle pass and the rest of the weapons with ATK percent as the main stats.

Best Zani Echo sets in Wuthering Waves

Zani’s best Echo set is the Eternal Radiance. Two-piece grants 10 percent Spectro DMG, and a full set increases Crit rate by 20 percent when applying Spectro Frazzle, which synergizes with her enhanced Resonance Skill (when the Forte Gauge is full).

Best Zani Echo Skill in Wuthering Waves

The best Echo Skill from the Eternal Radiance is the one of Capitaneus. It’s an Elite class (three cost) Echo that you can get when farming the respective Tacet Fields or simply in the open world. Equipping it in the main slot grants increased Spectro DMG and Heavy Attack DMG.

Best Zani Echo stats and substats in Wuthering Waves

Zani’s Echo stats are in line with other DPS characters in Wuthering Waves. Focus on increasing her personal damage as much as possible through offensive stats.

Here are the main stats you should target on Echoes:

1. Four cost: Crit. Rate or Crit. DMG
2. Three cost (x2): Spectro DMG Bonus
3. One cost (x2): ATK percent

The substats are about the same. Prioritize Crit. Rate, Crit. DMG, and ATK percent. Heavy Attack DMG Bonus and Energy Regen are also useful for increasing her damage and Resonance Liberation uptime, respectively.

Best Zani Forte priority in Wuthering Waves

Zani doesn’t rely on basic attacks to deal damage as much, especially outside her Resonance Liberation stance, which has individual scaling, so level up Fortes accordingly.

Here’s a list of Zani’s Fortes to prioritize:

1. Forte Circuit
2. Resonance Liberation
3. Resonance Skill

The Forte Circuit and Resonance Liberation should be on the same priority level, followed by the Resonance Skill and then Normal Attack. Don’t forget to unlock both Inherent Skills (main nodes above the Forte Circuit) to increase Zani’s damage and damage resistance.

Best Zani teams in Wuthering Waves

Zani’s kit revolves around other team members applying Spectro Frazzle to enemies, and the only two characters in Wuthering Waves who can do that are Spectro Rover and Phoebe, with Phoebe being a far superior option due to multiple buffs to Spectro Frazzle DMG. Pick whoever you have, and the third character can be your healer, like Shorekeeper or Verina.
