Ok so this will be a series of reviews on heroes made by Jiodi. I (Linkai) will occasionally put my personal opinions into as well if I have a different thought. Please just take this as a suggestion when choosing heroes for your team.
Tier: SSS
Class: Gourmet
Quality: UR
Role: Healer
Gem/Stat Priority: hp > dmg res > def > eva > res
You can run agi on him to make him pop his rage skill first in round two - blocking Guiguzi and Daji control abilities. I personally find this risky because ZZ would need to be incredibly fast for this to work. It can also take his heals out of sync with dealt damage (round one heal ends up being useless). Fast ZZ feels like a very niche usage so I normally don’t recommend.
Now that Mi Yue is dominating the game, a faster ZZ is definitely a great option, especially if you can’t run your own fast Mi Yue. A Ji Kang/Ying Zheng with 7k+ agi ZZ is a strong counter to fast doc starters. Just ask Fox Fairy elite.

Review:
(Jiodi) Zhuang Zhou is the (second-)most meta-breaking hero in the game. Meta-breaking means that in arena/team comp/other pvp if this hero is there you have to be prepared for him. Not having a way to deal with Zhuang Zhou (Daddy ZZ from here on) means you’re going to end up dying on shields or never being able to kill anyone because you aren’t dying on shields. His heals are HP-based, meaning you don’t have to jam attack on him. Every other turn he puts a shield up that reflects damage back when broken on three random allies. His rage skill proteccs up to *three allies* from control abilities and reduces damage taken, making them even harder to deal with. This kit is extremely powerful and he should be one of your first priorities as far as limited URs go. No other healer can do all of this by themselves.
(Linkai) Ok so I think Zhuang Zhou is a kind of hero that "everybody should have one Zhuang Zhou in their house. One Zhuang Zhou, all happy". If you look at the team formation of top players on World Ranking, you will see even they have a whole full team of GR heroes like Mozi/My Qiqi, Helan Ci, Zhao Jing, Miyue, and... Zhuang Zhou. His shield effect is really unique and effective for defending that so far I haven't seen any other heroes that can replace his role. Put him in team, stack HP, give Penguin to have a chance to trigger his healing Active skill more than one, and your team will be well protected.
What if I don't want to use Zhuang Zhou? Answer: use him. Ok just kidding. There may be a time that you really can't deploy him in the team, like lacking a slot or if you can't spend. So what is the alternative option? You can use the Spirit Pet Yinglong. At Condense Tier 2 and above, it will add the Aqua Shield that have same effect. Orrrr, using Heir Skill "Safe Refuge", it will cast shields for 4 allies based on their own max HP. Of course both Yinglong and Heir cannot cast a shield that as effective and cheap as how Zhuang Zhou does. So getting him is recommended.
