Core Skill Mechanics

Basic Attack [Jolting Arts]: A 5-hit sequence where the Finisher deals massive Electric DMG and restores SP—the engine for her entire rotation.
Battle Skill [Mantra of Sundering]: Consumes the enemy's Electrification to boost damage and generate Sunderblades (up to 3) for sequential Thunder Strikes.
Combo Skill [Breath of Transformation]: Deploys a Xiranblitz Array. If the target has Electric Infliction, it forces them into the Electrified status.
Ultimate [Smiting Tempest]: Initiates the Empyrean of Truth state. While active, her skills are enhanced, Battle Skills are free for the first cast, and her Combo Skill becomes a devastating AOE.

II. Signature Weapon: Arts Unit - Lone Barge

Lone Barge Arts Unit - Zhuang Fangyi Signature Weapon

The version 1.2 update introduces her signature weapon, the Lone Barge. According to the Anthology of Swordmancy [Notes], this Arts Unit was developed by HS.Swords using novel Xiranite amalgams. While these materials significantly improve casting efficiency, they make the unit exceptionally challenging to handle.

Base Attributes:

Will Boost [L]
Attack Boost [L]

Passive Ability: Suppression - Streaming Blitz

The Lone Barge provides a multi-layered offensive buff tailored for high-end Electric play:

Constant Bonus: Direct increase to all Electric DMG Dealt.
Reactive Surge: When the wielder's battle skill consumes Arts Reactions, their Battle Skill Electric DMG is increased for a set duration. This effect can stack, with each stack's duration tracked independently.
Ultimate Peak: Upon casting an Ultimate, the wielder gains an additional, non-stackable boost to Battle Skill Electric DMG for a set duration.

This weapon is the definitive "Best-in-Slot" (BiS) choice, specifically designed to maximize Sunderblade damage and Zhuang Fangyi's burst potential during her Empyrean of Truth state.

III. Recommended Team Composition

To optimize Zhuang Fangyi's performance, team archetypes must focus on SP Recovery and Electric Uptime.

Archetype	Lineup	Combat Logic
Infinite Empyrean	Zhuang Fangyi + Arclight + Antal + Perlica	Uses Arclight and Antal as SP batteries to maintain near 100% uptime on her Ultimate state.

IV. Major v1.2 "At the Wake of Spring" Updates

Beyond new characters, the April 17 update brings significant Quality-of-Life (QoL) and progression changes:

AIC Automation: The new Control Nexus allows one-click product collection and production management in Dijiang cabins.
Remote Recycling: Level 4 Recycling Stations now allow region-wide resource collection via the Map screen.
Combat QoL: Added remaining time prompts for Ultimates and a Boss Timer for RE-Crisis mode.
