Should you pull for Zhezhi in Wuthering Waves?

With the release of Wuthering Waves version 1.2, Zhezhi, the new limited five-star, will be on the banner for all to pull for. Now, most of us only have one question on our mind: Is it worth pulling for Zhezhi during this banner, over other future five-stars?

Is it worth pulling for Zhezhi in Wuthering Waves?

Zhezhi is undoubtedly a strong character, but she is certainly not a ‘must-pull’ banner in Wuthering Waves, for now at least. That’s the most bare-boned, meta answer, but there’s quite a bit factoring into the advice.

Really, the answer to whether or not you should be pulling for Zhezhi depends on the state of your account and Wuthering Waves gameplay perspective. Which characters do you already have? Are you playing for fun, or are you following the ever-changing meta? Before you consider pulling for Zhezhi, first, ask yourself those questions. For more insight on Zhezhi herself, let’s talk about what she does.

Zhezhi plays a similar role to Yinlin in that she is primarily a sub-DPS who deals most of her damage while off-field. She is a Glacio character and her Outro buffs both Skill and Glacio damage for the character you swap to. Her main scaling stat is Basic Attack Damage, which you’ll want to stack on her Echoes for the largest impact.

Metawise, if you don’t have Yinlin, she is a solid substitute for off-field damage. If you’re looking for a strong support amplifier or buffer for Glacio/Skill Damage characters, she is still a strong pick. Thanks to her off-field damage, she is, additionally, exceptional at supporting Jinhsi, one of the strongest main DPS characters in Wuthering Waves due to the mechanics attached to her Forte. Jinhsi also relies heavily on Skill Damage, which makes Zhezhi an even better pick-up for her. Beyond these instances, you’d be better off saving your pull currency for a different character, preferably a main damage dealer or another support on the same level as Verina. We are still very early in Wuthering Wave’s lifespan, and there’s a lot more characters coming down the line.

From a ‘Fun’ perspective, if you like how Zhezhi looks and are a big fan of her thematic flow, then you should pull for Zhezhi. Her personality is oddly charming, and while she gives off the impression of being a bit of a clutz or, perhaps, ditzy to a degree, her appreciation of her art is certainly appealing enough to be worth gunning for. I’m planning to pull her myself for this reason.

Zhezhi’s role is largely not required to beat any of the most difficult content in the game, so don’t let the FOMO get you this time. Sub-DPS characters are rather niche in Wuthering Waves, but perhaps that will change once the game gets more difficult. Only time will tell.
