Zhezhi is the latest Wuthering Waves character, released in Version 1.2, and her best build option makes the most of the 5-star Glacio Resonator’s DPS and supportive bonuses. She is a strong hybrid character that many consider pulling for.
Zhezhi has a couple of builds that can bring out her maximum potential, regardless of whether you are an F2P player or not.
Best Echoes for Zhezhi in Wuthering Waves
Zhezhi can operate as a Sub-DPS that deals great damage while providing useful buffs to help out her Main DPS. As such, the following echoes are best suited for Zhezhi:
- 5pc Freezing Frost
- 5pc Moonlit Clouds
- 3pc Freezing Frost + 2pc Moonlit Clouds
If you want Zhezhi to buff your Main DPS’ damage more, Moonlit Clouds is the better option. However, if you want Zhezhi to do more damage of her own, Freezing Frost is the optimal choice. You can also get the best of both worlds by combining both echoes but this will be less effective compared to running one echo set.
The following main stats should be prioritized for Zhezhi’s Echoes:
- 4 Cost: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG %
- 3 Cost: Glacio DMG
- 3 Cost: Glacio DMG
- 1 Cost: ATK%

Here are some of the substats players should focus on getting for Zhezhi’s Echoes:
Energy Regen > CRIT Rate/Crit DMG > Basic Attack DMG > ATK% > ATK
