Strengths & Weaknesses of Zani
- Strong Spectro Frazzle DPS
- was premier at debut; still top-tier though the meta has shifted toward Tune Break.

Quick Verdict
Strong Spectro Frazzle DPS — was premier at debut; still top-tier though the meta has shifted toward Tune Break.
Yes — Zani is S-tier, one of the strongest picks in the current meta.
Maybe — Zani (S-tier) is good, but usually not the top reroll target; only if you specifically want this character.
