Zhuang Fangyi
Hongshan Academy of Sciences (HAS)
Main Will · Sub Intellect
Zhuang Fangyi is the Electrification / Sunderblade carry that defines Electric endgame right now. She parks up to nine Sunderblades, channels them for damage and Ultimate energy, and loops Electrification consumption into the next wave of blades — a kit that rewards dedicated Electric teams rather than splash fills. If you are committing to Electric Monument clears and do not have her, pull; if you are happy on a different element and not starting Electric, leave her for a later account push.
Zhuang Fangyi is a 6★ Electric Main DPS (Arts Unit). Kicking off Zhuang Fangyi's rotations starts with getting an Electric Infliction or Electrification on the target.

Team Compositions
Zhuang Fangyi Electric core: Perlica supplies Infliction/Electrification, Arclight converts it to SP for Battle Skill spam, Akekuri adds team DMG amp while Zhuang channels Sunderblades.
Zhuang Fangyi is the Sunderblade carry — consume Electrification to park and channel blades; Perlica/Arclight keep that resource online.
Akekuri amps Zhuang Fangyi's team off SP recovery — shorter Combo Skill cooldown and a team DMG buff so Zhuang Fangyi's dump windows hit harder. She does not replace element enablers like Perlica.
Perlica is required. She applies Electric Infliction and Electrification on demand so Zhuang Fangyi can generate and consume Sunderblade stacks every rotation.
Arclight turns Electrification into SP so Zhuang Fangyi can spam Battle Skill. Keep Perlica's Electrification online before Arclight spends it.
Skills & Potentials
Skills & Talents
BASIC ATTACK: An attack with up to 5 sequences that deals Electric DMG. As the controlled operator, Final Strike also deals 18 Stagger. DIVE ATTACK: Basic attack performed in mid-air becomes a dive attack that deals Electric DMG to nearby enemies. FINISHER: Basic attack performed near a Staggered enemy becomes a finisher that deals massive Electric DMG and recovers some SP.
SKILL DESCRIPTION: Consumes the target's Electrification to increase the DMG multiplier of this battle skill and create [Status Level of Electrification consumed +1] Sunderblades. If the battlefield has fewer than 3 Sunderblades, Mantra of Sundering can still create 1 Sunderblade, even if it does not consume any target's Electrification. Zhuang Fangyi then channels all Sunderblades nearby to successively unleash Thunder Strikes on the target, dealing Electric DMG and giving bonus Ultimate Energy, with the final Thunder Strike dealing 6 times the DMG. A single battle skill casting can only create a max of 3 Sunderblades.
COMBO TRIGGER: When the controlled operator's Final Strike or Finisher hits an enemy with Electric Infliction. SKILL DESCRIPTION: Zhuang Fangyi creates a Xiranblitz Array that attacks the enemy and deals Electric DMG. If the Array hits an enemy that has Electric Infliction stack(s), then it will consume the said Electric Infliction stack(s), forcibly apply Electrification, and give Ultimate Energy based on the number of stacks consumed. If Electrification is forcibly applied to an enemy that already has Electrification, then apply Status Level +1 to the enemy's Electrification.
SKILL DESCRIPTION: Transforms into the Empyrean of Truth that grants these enhancements: Zhuang Fangyi's basic attacks are enhanced and her actions are harder to interrupt; Battle skill Mantra of Sundering gains a higher DMG multiplier and an increased effect range, and the final Thunder Strike also applies Electric Infliction to the target hit. Combo skill Breath of Transformation gains a higher DMG multiplier, cooldown becomes 4 times faster, and effects are applied to enemies within a small area. The first casting of the battle skill Mantra of Sundering does not consume SP nor Electrification, and if a target is available, the battle skill is guaranteed to create 3 Sunderblades even if the target has no Electrification.
Operator Will +10. / Operator Will +15. / Operator Will +15. / Operator Will +20.
Battle skill Mantra of Sundering improved: Casting the battle skill grants Zhuang Fangyi 18% Electric Amp for 5s. Scoring hits with the battle skill's Thunder Strike increases this effect by +2%. Every casting of the battle skill Mantra of Sundering again resets this Electric Amp effect.
Gains a 9% chance of immunity against DMG taken, with each Sunderblade nearby increasing this chance by +1%. After DMG Immunity is triggered, Zhuang Fangyi is also restored for 18% Max HP. The HP restoration effect can only trigger once every 99s.
Potentials
Battle skill Mantra of Sundering improved: DMG multiplier is increased to 1.15 times the original. After entering battle, Zhuang Fangyi's first battle skill casting also creates 1 more Sunderblade.
