Zhiliu is an Electro, skill‑damage focused DPS who fights with talismans and two weapon masteries (Greatsword / Dual Pistols). Her kit revolves around creating up to two distinct talismans and converting them into one of three Ultimate variants: a straight‑line blast, a lingering area field, or a self‑buffed burst. She is available at global launch, with characters free to unlock. The sections below break down her profile, Lv.1 stats, skills, ult variants, passives, and practical routing.

Core mechanic: talismans and Celestial Revelation
Zhiliu generates two distinct talismans via her Skill, then spends them to transform her Ultimate. She can hold up to two talismans; if she exceeds the cap, the oldest one is removed.
| Celestial Revelation (Skill - DMG) | Effect |
|---|---|
| Press (Zhen) | Deals Electro DMG in front and grants 1 Talisman: Zhen |
| Hold (Xun) | Deals Electro DMG in front, grants Ultra Shield, and 1 Talisman: Xun |
| Lv.1 values | Number |
|---|---|
| Sanity Cost | 15 |
| Press (Zhen) DMG / Radius | 292% / 4m |
| Hold (Xun) DMG / Radius | 549% / 6m |
| Hold (Xun) Ultra Shield | 3% Max Shield |
Passive talisman retention: when consuming talismans with her Ultimate variants, each talisman has a chance to be retained based on her Melee Weapon Trigger Probability. At Lv.1, the effect trigger probability is 17%.
Ultimate variants and numbers
Heaven‑Earth Divination changes based on your two‑talisman state. With fewer than two talismans, it defaults to an area Electro strike. With two, it transforms into one of three variants depending on the talisman mix.

How to route her kit in combat
Build your two‑talisman state first, then pick the Ultimate variant that matches the fight. Pressing the Skill grants Zhen; holding grants Xun and a small Ultra Shield. With two talismans held, choose:
- Two Zhen for a straight‑line nuke (Thunder’s Oracle Peal) when enemies are stacked in a lane.
- One Zhen + one Xun for periodic damage and a wide field (Myriad Things Thrive → Four Realms Align) when you want lingering area control.
- Two Xun for point‑blank burst plus a long Skill DMG buff (Fortune’s Clarity) before sustained skill windows.
Sanity costs vary — 30 for Thunder’s Oracle Peal, 40 for Myriad Things Thrive, and 25 for Fortune’s Clarity — so plan your cycle around what you can afford. Talisman retention can keep your engine running after an Ultimate; when it procs, you may re‑enter a two‑talisman state faster.
Team effects are straightforward: repeated Electro Skill damage ramps Morale via Mutual Generation, and if she is set as a Combat Partner, Divine Retribution grants a large ATK aura to nearby Electro allies. At higher Introns, Celestial Revelation becomes a teamwide ATK button (Intron 4), and staying inside Four Realms Align turns into a large PEN window (Intron 6).
The net result is a flexible Electro caster who can pivot between line damage, area control, and a self‑buffed skill loop. Route your talismans with intention, watch your Sanity costs, and time Fortune’s Clarity for extended damage windows.
