With the release of Wuthering Waves version 2.0, Zhezhi, a limited five-star character, is making her much-anticipated return alongside Carlotta. For many players, the big question is: Should you pull for Zhezhi now, or save your resources for future five-stars?
Zhezhi has always been a strong character, but during her initial release, she wasn’t considered a “must-pull.” However, the situation has changed in version 2.0. Whether you should pull for her now depends on your current team, playstyle, and priorities in the game. Let’s break it down.
Is Zhezhi Right for Your Account?
Before deciding, ask yourself these questions:
- What characters do you already have? If you lack a strong sub-DPS or support, Zhezhi could fill a critical role.
- Are you focused on fun or the meta? If you’re chasing top-tier teams, Zhezhi fits perfectly into several powerful compositions. However, if you just enjoy collecting characters you like, her appeal will depend on your personal preferences.

Zhezhi excels as a sub-DPS, dealing significant damage even while off-field. She’s a Glacio-element character whose Outro ability boosts Skill and Glacio damage for the next character swapped in. Her strength lies in her synergy with other characters, particularly main DPS units like Jinhsi, and Carlotta. Especially Carlotta.
To maximize Zhezhi’s potential, you’ll want to focus on building Basic Attack Damage through her Echoes. She works especially well in Carlotta teams, enhancing their damage output significantly. If you rely on Glacio or Skill Damage-heavy characters, Zhezhi’s support capabilities make her a top-tier choice.
The Meta Perspective
From a meta standpoint, Zhezhi has become one of the best sub-DPS characters in the game. She is unmatched in Carlotta Hypercarry teams and synergizes excellently with Jinhsi, another popular DPS character. Her off-field damage and buffing abilities are hard to replace, making her a valuable addition to competitive teams.
If you’re not running Glacio teams or characters reliant on Skill Damage, it might be better to save your resources for other powerful upcoming units, like Shorekeeper or another versatile support character.
For the Fun of It
If meta dominance isn’t your priority, Zhezhi is still a fantastic choice for players who love her design or personality. She’s a charming character with a quirky yet endearing demeanor, and her dedication to her craft makes her a standout addition to any roster.

Zhezhi’s return in version 2.0 solidifies her status as one of the strongest sub-DPS characters in Wuthering Waves. If you’re building a team around Carlotta or Jinhsi, she’s almost essential. For those low on asterites, don’t worry—characters in Wuthering Waves often see frequent reruns, so she’ll likely return soon.
Ultimately, whether you pull for Zhezhi depends on your current needs, goals, and how much you enjoy her unique charm.
