Zhao
赵
Overview
Zhao is a top-tier (S Tier) Fire-element Main DPS in Gazing Moon. Known for his rapid dual-blade attacks and high burst damage potential, he excels at taking down single targets and bosses quickly. His aggressive playstyle rewards players who can maintain a relentless offensive.
Combat Mechanics
Zhao's core mechanic revolves around building up "Heat" stacks through his basic attacks. Once his Heat gauge is full, his abilities deal significantly increased damage and can trigger explosive secondary effects.
- Basic Attack: A fast sequence of strikes with dual blades. Generates Heat.
- Skill (Ignition Slash): A forward dash that deals Fire damage. Consumes Heat to cause a small explosion.
- Ultimate (Crimson Lotus): A devastating series of slashes culminating in a massive fiery explosion. Damage scales heavily with consumed Heat.
Best Moon Spirit Synergies
To maximize Zhao's potential, you need Moon Spirits that either amplify his Fire damage or provide utility that allows him to stay aggressive.
Shiwu (十五)
Provides crucial attack buffs and healing, allowing Zhao to maintain his assault without retreating.
Qingniao (青鸟)
Offers additional off-field Fire damage, creating a devastating Fire Burst synergy.
Recommended Team Composition
The classic Fire Burst Team is built entirely around Zhao:
- Main DPS: Zhao
- Sub DPS/Support: Lailai (for elemental reactions) or Suisui (for buffs)
- Moon Spirits: Shiwu (Core), Qingniao, Chelun Zai (for defense)
