Should I pull for Zani in Wuthering Waves 2.7?

Hi, Rovers! Zani’s back for her rerun in Wuthering Waves 2.7, and the Frazzle frenzy is real! If you’re into clean, punchy boss fights and the thrill of perfectly timed rotations, this Spectro gauntlet queen is calling your name. She’s a finesse pick, built for players who like control, rhythm, and watching a boss melt when their Forte window pops. Ready to dance with Frazzle?

 

What Zani plays like

Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐   Element: Spectro   Weapon: Gauntlet

Zani is a 5★ Spectro gauntlet user designed as a main DPS whose kit centers on Forte and Resonance Liberation. Zani’s kit revolves around a Forte gauge that she builds by hitting enemies; consuming Forte powers enhanced skills and converts her on-field output into Spectro Frazzle damage. In lay terms: she is a gauge manager rather than a button-mash spawner.

Her Resonance Liberation (burst) flips her into an enhanced state where many of her attacks scale off Frazzle modifiers, making timed windows of heavy single-target damage the name of the game. That design makes her an excellent boss-killer and a standout in long, controlled fights when properly supported.

Zani’s Strengths

Zani’s biggest advantage is the ceiling she offers. In teams built to generate and exploit Frazzle windows (think double-Spectro echoes or partners that apply Frazzle reliably), her Heavy-Attack scaling and boosted Frazzle multipliers let her outpace many 5★ options in sustained single-target DPS.

She also has defensive tools baked into her playloop — parry-style timing and built-in damage mitigation during certain states — which helps her survive longer fights without needing excessive sustain. If you enjoy rotation planning and feel rewarded by hitting a perfectly timed Forte window, Zani delivers that satisfaction.

 

Zani’s Weaknesses

Zani is somewhat niche. Frazzle is powerful but not universally relevant: in chaotic multi-mook rooms or content where quick widespread application matters more than single-target scaling, other resonators will feel more useful.

Some community threads note that parts of her kit rely on team members triggering Frazzle frequently (so she can recoup Forte), meaning she performs best with an echo set and teammates tuned to her style — she’s less forgiving on solo-play or mixed rosters. In short, she rewards investment and planning rather than improvisation.

 

How Zani performed in different modes

Bosses & long single-target fights — ★★★★★ (Excellent)

Zani shines brightest here. Zani’s main value in boss fights is creating a predictable, high-damage window. In practice: stack Forte with one or two heavy sequences, then consume it into Resonance Liberation. That window converts much of her output into Spectro Frazzle damage and is the moment allies should line up follow-ups. Tests show this rotation yields some of her highest single-target DPS; treat Zani as the scheduled “windower” rather than a constant buff source.

Illusive Realm / long multi-phase runs — ★★★★☆ (Strong)

Zani’s steady sustain and Forte-recoup mechanics make her reliable across multi-phase, long encounters. Reports from long-run showcases and Illusive-focused tier lists show she can repeatedly access empowered windows and recover Blaze/Forte over extended rotations — meaning consistent DPS across phases rather than one big spike. Players who used her this way consistently report stable clears and fewer wasted cooldowns, making her one of the safer picks for long-form content.

Open world & quick clears — ★★☆☆☆ (Below average)

This is where Zani is least convenient. Frazzle scaling rewards focused single-target damage, so in open-world mob trains she feels slower than AoE-centric resonators. If you insist on using her here, bring an AoE partner (Rover/Phoebe-AoE setups) or swap to an AoE teammate during trash waves — run Zani only for the final boss or mini-boss phases where her numbers matter.

Tower of Adversity — ★★★★☆ (Good with planning)

Zani can work, but only with the right teammates: pair her with at least one reliable Spectro Frazzle applier (e.g., Phoebe, Spectro Rover) and a dedicated AoE/trash clearer or secondary on-field unit to handle multi-wave trash; run Zani as the boss-phase finisher.

Community team showcases that beat multi-phase floors often run Zani for the boss phase and a different on-field AoE for trash — or they include a support that converts Frazzle more rapidly. If your usual content has long mob phases followed by a boss, plan for a quick swap rotation.

 

Should You Go for Zani’s Banner?

Pull (Must-pull) — Pull if you main boss/long single-target content. Zani’s Forte → Resonance Liberation loop converts a lot of on-field output into high Spectro/Frazzle single-target damage, and community testing & build guides put her among the top Spectro boss carries when properly supported.

Consider (Weigh carefully) — Consider if you enjoy timing-intensive play and can supply Frazzle support (Phoebe, Spectro Rover, etc.). Her parry/stance and quick-swap rotations raise her ceiling significantly, but they demand practice and at least one teammate who reliably applies Spectro Frazzle. Many optimization guides and showcase videos demonstrate large gaps between beginner and expert rotations.

Skip / Delay — Skip if you mainly do fast AoE clears, lack investment resources (weapon/echo/rotation time), or already own your preferred Spectro carry. Zani is an investment character whose peak requires both materials and practiced rotations; she’s not the most forgiving pick for casual players.
