Rime-Draped Sprouts
R1BestZhezhi's Signature and best weapon gives her significant ATK and CRIT DMG stat boosts as well as a scaling Basic DMG Bonus buff that particularly affects her off-field Coordinated Attacks, perfectly synergizing with her kit and giving her the highest damage output she can get.

Whispers of Sirens
R1Cantarella's Signature also gives Zhezhi a very high Basic DMG Bonus buff and the same base stats as her Signature, making it a near-equal alternative to her Signature weapon.

Lethean Elegy
R1Phrolova's Signature stands out as the only Rectifier with high Base ATK which works well on Zhezhi, not to mention the easily triggered Echo and Skill DMG Amplification as well as the DEF Ignore for 12s, all of which gives her a nice damage boost overall.

Stringmaster
R1Yinlin's Signature Rectifier is easily one of the best generalist options in the game, giving Zhezhi a nice but short-lived ATK% buff that can apply to some Coordinated Attacks and the most damaging part of her on-field rotation. However, buffs run out quickly which make it not as ideal as her Signature while still being a completely excellent replacement.

Forged Dwarf Star
R1Calculation also applicable to Luminous Hymn. Simple ATK and CRIT Rate stat-stick for Zhezhi, who does not benefit from this weapon's Fusion Burst and Tune Strain-oriented effects.

Best Echo Sets
5-Piece Sonata
Empyrean Anthem
Offers an unconditional 10% Energy Regen% and 80% Coordinated DMG boost. Also grants a passive supportive effect which triggers when the wearer of this set critically strikes with a Coordinated attack, this effect grants the on field Resonator an ATK% boost regardless if they're the wearer of the set or not. The set is better than Moonlit Clouds if and only if the equipped character's Echoes have endgame investment (with 9 or 10 CRIT substats total) and the character has a 5-star weapon equipped. If both conditions aren't met, Moonlit Clouds is a better choice.
