Building a slight amount of Energy Recharge (~10%) can be considered if it allows her to Burst consistently every rotation, which can be the case on Triple Geo teams with Favonius Illuga funnelling particles to her.

Zibai’s damage is nearly completely driven by her Lunar Phase Shift mode’s Normal Attacks and Special Skill activations, both of which scale with Elemental Skill investment. Her Burst does good damage, but is a secondary consideration.
Zibai rotation
Execute Zibai’s on-field combos.
A bit more nuance exists when it comes to Zibai’s combos, as explained below.
- Rotate through supports to set up buffs, off-field damage, and consistent Geo and Hydro application for Lunar Crystallize
Standard Gameplay Loop
E 4(N4E)
Shortened Combo
E 2N4 EE N1 E N4 E
It’s worth noting that her shortened combo does not necessarily yield better damage due to having less N4 casts, and is primarily used when its ancillary effects can be capitalized on. They also can be occasionally inconsistent on teams with poor Hydro application as it relies more on the point generation from Lunar-Crystallize reaction triggers.
Standard Combo with Burst
N4E N1QE 2(N4E)
It is best to use her Burst this way as soon as possible, so that Zibai can begin accumulating Energy for her next one.
C1 Combo
EE QE 3N4E
Because of her first Constellation, Zibai will be granted a powered-up additional use of her Skill after entering the Lunar Phase Shift state that she casts immediately. The rest of her combos then proceed as normal.

Zibai FAQ
3 questionsWhat stat does Zibai scale on?
Zibai's abilities multiply DEF. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
What is the best weapon for Zibai?
Uraku Misugiri is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star sword with CRIT DMG as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on DEF. Cinnabar Spindle is the best 4-star alternative.
Which artifact set should Zibai use?
Archaic Petra. Its 2-piece bonus is: Gain a 15% Geo DMG Bonus. Its 4-piece bonus is: Upon obtaining an Elemental Shard created through Crystallize or triggering a Lunar-Crystallize reaction, all party members gain a 35% DMG Bonus for that particular element for 10s. Only one form of Elemental DMG Bonus can be gained in this manner at any one time.
