Is Zhiliu good?

Zhiliu deals Skill Damage as an Electro attacker whose ultimate can take three different forms depending on how her active skill was used beforehand, with one version hitting a huge area for big damage.

That range of options, on top of self-buffs and an Ultra Shield, makes her a strong pick for Infinity Commissions in particular. She does burn through Sanity fast to keep her kit running.

Strengths

  • Ultimate shifts between three different forms
  • Kit includes self-buffs and an Ultra Shield
  • Strong pick for Infinity Commissions

Weaknesses

  • High Sanity cost to sustain her kit
