Zani, the newest Resonator set to debut in version 2.3 of Wuthering Waves, has an exciting kit that showcases her potential as a powerful damage dealer equipped with unique counter mechanics. Recent leaks from the beta version provide insight into her abilities, highlighting her role as a formidable addition to any team.
In this article, we will delve into Zani’s abilities, including her Skills, Liberation, and Forte, giving you all the details you need to understand her gameplay strategy.
Zani’s Abilities in Wuthering Waves: Leaks and Insights
Basic Attack Overview
According to Hakush.in, here’s how Zani’s Basic Attacks are structured:
- Basic Attack: Executes up to 4 consecutive strikes, each dealing Spectro DMG.
- Heavy Attack: Consumes stamina to inflict impressive Spectro DMG.
- Mid-air Attack: While airborne, Zani can perform a Plunging Attack that consumes stamina and deals Spectro DMG.
Base Resonance Skill
- By holding the Resonance Skill, Zani can initiate a parry stance; releasing it causes her to deal Spectro DMG to her target.
- Shortly afterward, executing a Basic Attack results in dealing Spectro DMG while slowing down the enemy.
Enhanced Resonance Skill: Advancing Annihilation Plan
- When Zani transitions into her enhanced Inferno state and fills her Redundant Kinetic Energy gauge, her Resonance Skill becomes Advancing Annihilation Plan.
- Upon pressing or holding the Resonance Skill, Zani prepares to utilize her full Redundant Kinetic Energy to deal Spectro DMG and slow her enemies. Taking damage while in this state reduces incoming damage and allows Zani to counterattack, freezing enemies with her Spectro DMG counter.
Resonance Liberation
- Unleashes Spectro DMG and activates her enhanced Inferno state, with an increase of 50 in her [Infernal Light] cap and an immediate gain of 50 [Infernal Light], enhancing her Basic Attack multiplier.
- End of Judgement: If Zani’s [Infernal Light] drops below 30 during her Inferno state, she can unlock this Resonance Liberation ability, dealing more Spectro DMG and exiting the Infernal state.

Forte Circuit Mechanics
Zani’s presence in the team brings unique benefits: whenever a party member applies Spectro Frazzle on an enemy, Zani will instantly calculate and deal damage based on all stacks and convert them into Bright Sun’s Ember. With each instance of this effect, Zani gains Infernal Light according to the converted layers. These Bright Sun’s Embers count as Spectro Frazzle layers, triggering the “Eternal Light Here” set bonus.
Enhanced Resonance Skill
- When Zani is in her Infernal state, her Heavy Attacks gain enhancements that produce Spectro DMG counted as Heavy Attack DMG and Spectro Frazzle. Holding the Resonance Skill shifts Zani into a preparation phase, allowing her to consume Infernal Light for an enhanced Heavy Attack upon release.
- Being hit while in the preparation state grants Zani immunity to crowd control effects and reduces damage; Zani will also utilize some Infernal Light to execute an enhanced Heavy Attack, freezing her enemy.
- After exiting the preparation state, Zani unleashes another enhanced Heavy Attack, consuming additional stacks of Infernal Light that escalate the damage output.
Zani is gifted with further effects that amplify her Heavy Attacks, making her an exceptional damage dealer.
Zani’s Inherent Talents
Here are Zani’s passive talents:
- Activating her Intro Skill enhances Zani’s Spectro DMG by 12%.
- While in Inferno state, Zani incurs 20% less damage.
This covers the essential details of Zani’s kit. Note that these insights have been translated from Chinese sources, so final abilities may vary upon her official release.
Zani’s abilities center around the Spectro Frazzle mechanic, which creates some limitations in team compositions. Currently, Phoebe is an ideal partner for Zani, but if she’s unavailable, consider using Spectro Rover for an effective team synergy.
