Overview
Zhao builds Frostbite from reserve, then enters to refresh Veil: Wellspring and team ATK support. HP contributes to his buffs and healing, while the healing cooldown limits repeated recovery.
Role
Ether Veil enabler, team buffer and healing support.
Playstyle
Enter with full Frostbite, establish Wellspring, then use a supported Quick Assist to return to the carry while her charge continues.
Why It Works
Veil activation grants ATK, and initial HP scales the Additional Ability's team damage bonus while any Veil is active.
Watch For
Reactivating Wellspring replaces the previous instance. Healing has a separate cooldown, so repeated Specials do not repeatedly trigger full recovery.
Playstyle
Combat Flow
Team attacks fill Frostbite → Entry activates Wellspring → Buff / Quick Assist handoff → Off-field charge → Rebuild Frostbite → Refresh Veil
Key Notes
She starts with a full gauge for an immediate opening.
27,000 initial HP reaches the stated team damage cap.
EX and Ultimate grant Frostbite; Chain grants a smaller amount.
Attack, Anomaly or Support compatibility activates her damage-buff Additional Ability.

Basic Attack: Final Verdict
Hold [Basic Attack] to activate: After getting ready, Zhao starts charging up, then launches a forward slash on release, dealing massive Ice DMG. While charging, Zhao accumulates up to 5s of charge time. When the Finishing Move of Basic Attack: Final Verdict, Chain Attack, or Assist Follow-Up hits, the stored charge time is consumed to deal additional DMG. For every 1 second of charge time, Zhao deals (0.12+Basic Attack level*0.01) × 100% of Max HP as additional DMG. When Zhao is in any Ether Veil, if she gets switched out while charging, the charge can continue. If Frostbite Points are maxed out when the skill activates, all Frostbite Points are consumed to trigger Ether Veil: Wellspring and a Quick Assist. If a squadmate is then switched in via Quick Assist, Zhao automatically follows up with Basic Attack: Final Verdict and begins charging. During skill activation, Anti-Interrupt level increases, and DMG taken is reduced by 40%. While not the currently controlled character, the character is invulnerable while using this skill.
