★★★★★HavocSword VS ★★★★★SpectroGauntlets

Camellya and Zani are the top Havoc DPS options with very different playstyles. Camellya is a melee Sword user with Thorn stack mechanics and blooming strikes. Zani is a newer character with higher raw damage but stricter team requirements.

📊 Side-by-Side Comparison

Camellya

High burst damage through Thorn stacks and blooming strikes. Excels when you can stay on-field and build stacks methodically. Strong sustained damage with proper rotation.

Zani

Higher damage ceiling with ideal team (Phoebe or Spectro Rover required). Her kit is tuned for modern content and has a slightly higher numerical ceiling than Camellya.

Camellya

Works well with universal supports. Sanhua is her best partner (Basic ATK buffer, fast rotations). Can slot into most teams without requiring specific limited 5-stars.

Zani

Needs Phoebe or Spectro Rover to function at full power. Less flexible but the Phoebe + Zani core is one of the strongest duos in the game when fully built.

Camellya

Straightforward playstyle — build stacks, unleash blooming strike. Melee range requires dodging skill but rewards aggressive play. Manageable skill floor.

Zani

Requires managing the team setup for maximum output. Higher investment floor (needs Phoebe) but more straightforward execution once the team is assembled.
