Team compositions

Jinhsi teamUseful teammate
Main damageJinhsiLeads the damage planSetup helperZhezhiSets up the damage dealerSupport slotShorekeeperCompletes the team

Zhezhi supports Jinhsi alongside Shorekeeper. Jinhsi wants a coordinated attacker to feed her burst window. Youhu is a specialist sustain for Zhezhi or Yinlin because her Outro amplifies their Coordinated Attacks; she is not a generic replacement in every Jinhsi team.

Carlotta teamUseful teammate
Main damageCarlottaLeads the damage planSetup helperZhezhiSets up the damage dealerSupport slotShorekeeperCompletes the team

Zhezhi supports Carlotta alongside Shorekeeper. The current Chems DPR Carlotta sheet places Lynae plus Mornye first, Lynae plus Shorekeeper second, and Rebecca plus Shorekeeper ahead of the older Zhezhi reference route. Zhezhi plus Shorekeeper remains a stable baseline when the newer helper routes are unavailable.

Lingyang teamUseful teammate

Zhezhi supports Lingyang alongside Shorekeeper. Lingyang likes Glacio or Basic Attack helpers. Youhu is specifically useful with Zhezhi because she amplifies Zhezhi's Coordinated Attacks while covering healing.
