Zani

Zani is a 5-star Spectro Resonator armed with Gauntlets. She plays as a main DPS, weaving rapid melee strikes into an enhanced state and pouring out sustained Spectro damage.

How to Play

Pair Zani with a Spectro amplifier and a sustain so she can hold the field, leaning on Concerto Energy to chain her enhanced state. See her ranking on the Wuthering Waves tier list.

Best Build

Weapons: Blazing Justice (signature: ATK, Spectro Frazzle DMG, and DEF ignore), Tragicomedy (Heavy Attack DMG Bonus), or Pulsation Bracer (standard 5★ ATK/Crit stat stick). Echo Set: Eternal Radiance (5pc): 10% Spectro DMG, 20% Crit Rate on Spectro Frazzle, plus 15% Spectro DMG Bonus. Main Echo: Capitaneus (3-cost) is preferred over a 4-cost here, granting a strong Spectro and Heavy Attack buff that fits her kit; otherwise run a 4-cost with a Spectro main stat. Main Stats: 4-cost Crit Rate / Crit DMG; 3-cost x2 Spectro DMG; 1-cost x2 ATK%. Substats: Crit Rate / Crit DMG, then Heavy Attack DMG, ATK%, and Energy Regen (target ~115-120% ER to keep Inferno Mode and Liberation on cadence).

Best Teams

1. Frazzle Hypercarry: Zani + Phoebe (best Spectro Frazzle applicator and amplifier) + Shorekeeper (Crit buffs and healing).
2. Spectro Quickswap: Zani + Ciaccona (Spectro Frazzle apply + DMG amp) + Verina (sustain and ATK buff).

Kit Overview

• Resonance Skill: builds and detonates Spectro Frazzle stacks, converting them into Heliacal Embers for heavy burst Heavy Attack damage.
• Resonance Liberation: enters her empowered Inferno Mode, ramping Spectro Frazzle output and her Heavy Attack damage window.
• Core role: main Spectro DPS who farms Spectro Frazzle stacks; high Concerto generation feeds an offensive Outro that hands off into her applicator support.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Top-tier Spectro Frazzle hypercarry damage; signature weapon ignores DEF; strong self-buffing Inferno Mode. Cons: Heavily wants a dedicated Frazzle applicator (Phoebe) to peak; demands high Energy Regen and tight rotations.
