EDIT: Her outro skill was changed from a skill damage deepen in the beta to a glacio damage + skill deepen (similar to other five star characters). This makes her slightly less effective at boosting skill based supports as instead of 44% boost to skill damage it’s only 25%. But overall I still maintain my stance that she’s a very strong character who can be used for any carry right now, not just glacio units (the same way Changli/Yinlin are OP despite their respective elemental deepens not really being taken advantage of rn)

Zhezhi cannot ever be overhyped, as she was not even hyped by the community.

[danielferrieri]

Xiangli Yao and Dr Ratio shaking hands to: Characters players can get for completely free

[yanwsl]

I actually need this, thank you!! I was torn between pulling for Zhezhi or not. Also as someone who’s mandarin, I find the way you pronounce her name so satisfying

[lulushiny]

i really like how unique wuwa's characters faces are compared to you know what game

[mintboun]

Also her weapon looks like those very expensive Chinese stamps that business people use for signature

[TheRedRationalist]

You got her outro wrong. They changed it. Its 20% glacio amp and 25% skill amp for 14s.

[TimRoed]

It looks like the outro skill you included is outdated. Mine says 25% glacio / 20% skill damage amplify instead of 44% skill damage

I’m getting Ruan Mei vibes considering both Zhezhi and her came in the patch HSR and WuWa gave their free 5 star.

[kaimiralis]

Zhezhi’s skill damage boost is very tempting, but I just can’t drop off Yuanwu from the team because he refills Jinhsi’s forte just by using his skill and I like that shi

[TaviiCatniss]

Wow I love my jinshi, guess I'll be pulling or attempting the 50/50 at least

[chaos_of_time]

I'll never replace my Mortefi on my Jiyan team

Unless a literal actual 5 star version of Mortefi is announced 👀

Got him maxed (S6) and his DPS & buffs are cracked with Moonlit & the standard 5 star gun

So many people underestimate him
He is a better buffer / sub dps for my Jiyan than my Yinlin without her signature (he also gets the coordinated attacks fast / it's easier to dodge attacks with him than with my Yinlin when filling the forte bar)

And for Jinhsi: there is Yuanwu (who works at level 1 too) and getting her signature is a huge increase. She's already OP and clearing end game nicely with it 👏

(I got Jinhsi early by accident as I was going for Sanhua, but no regrets since I use her in one of my three teams or my meme full dragon team with Jiyan and Mortefi in the overworld. Needless to say, they assassinate everything)

In the future I suspect we'll see many new cracked support characters, so unless you're a Glacio main or Zhezhi is one of your favorite designs / characters, I'd skip (personally)

To add to this, Xiangli Yao is free and I'd rather get his weapon that is guaranteed in less pulls, since I already have (and really love) Yinlin 👀

Not to mention, we are in need of more healer / buffers for endgame and Shorekeeper is around the corner. So I'd say she's the more valuable pull for low spenders & f2ps

[FynO]

Zhezhi's fate was sealed as soon as Shorekeeper was announced.

[RaffoPhantom]

Time to make several blood sacrifices after blowing all of my jades on Changli

[alamatjake]

Her teleport is perfect for people like me who still struggle with evasion.😂

[kazukimisaki]

I think for my jinshi I already have a solid team for her, which is baizhu yuanwu and jinshi with jue echo team as the jue echo also counts as coordinated attacks and if I use zezhi on her team, I will have to run verina as my healer and each elemental coordinated attack have its own icd, so it's not ideal to run a mono or duo element team with her
I guess, zezshi is actually tailor made for the new free character (forgot his name lol) as he deals a mixture of skill damage and normal attack damage. I think he, zezhi and blackshore which is rumored to be a healer will work great as a team

[Wootmanwashere]

So she's a cute Ruan Mei in regards to usability somewhat. I was gonna get her anyway, but this is nice to know. :D

[keno-o]

After playing her trial, I feel confused. I fell in love with her teleport skill. Compared to Keqing, who only has 1 tp per skill, her having 3 charges makes up for some crazy plays with the right timings. That and the animations and color palette are just chef's kiss. Damn it, Shorekeeper better be worth the cockblock. 😢

[inanimategaming]

She was already a must try to pull for me because waifu. Knew nothing about what she'd provide, kit wise.

Now, I'm extremely grateful she showed up in <20 pulls so I could also pull her weapon, and that both her and the weapon provide insane value to my preferred account direction (Encore main with Jinhsi being the founding DPS for my 3rd team). It was meant to be!

[ishank]

Why did this feel more like a sponsored video. I say this because vars always says no character is the must pull character but here he is saying she is a must pull character
