Zhuang Fangyi is the safest carry investment in the Frost roster: Guard-class survivability means she holds the field without a dedicated defender, and her counter windows scale with the very stats you build anyway.
| Tier | S (full tier list) |
| Element / Class | Frost · Guard |
| Role | Main DPS / Bruiser |
| Pull priority | HIGH — self-sufficient, low team cost |
| Skill priority | Skill > Ultimate > Basic |

| Slot | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Weapon main stat | ATK% |
| Gear priority 1 | Elemental DMG bonus |
| Gear priority 2 | HP% / DEF% (one piece) |
| Substats | ATK% > CRIT > HP% |
Weapon: the signature rate-up weapon is the ceiling, but any high-rarity Guard weapon with an ATK% or energy main stat performs within ~10% — don't chase the weapon banner unless Zhuang Fangyi is your long-term main.
