Double Helix is a mobile game that combines tower defense strategy with character development in the 2D world, and Zhiliu, as a newly updated female character, not only has a unique appearance as a black stocking Taoist but also possesses nearly all-round offensive capabilities. Below, we will introduce how to play Zhiliu in Double Helix. Many new players are initially confused by her "Unlock Heaven's Secrets" skill mechanism, unsure of how to pair talismans and choose weapons, so let's quickly get to know more about it!

Zhiliu is positioned as a Lightning-attribute skill-based DPS, suitable for both single-target boss fights and dealing with groups of enemies, and even boasts decent survivability. Her design is very distinctive—black stockings paired with a Taoist robe, talismans hanging from her waist, and a heavy sword in hand, appealing greatly to 2D game enthusiasts. However, what's more critical is her offensive capability: whether it's the high single-target damage dealt by tapping "Unlock Heaven's Secrets" or the AOE effect after holding and accumulating talismans, these can be effectively utilized in dungeons. Combined with the synergies between her skills, operating her is quite enjoyable, no wonder she's hailed as the strongest DPS in the third test.

Weapon selection forms the foundation of Zhiliu's output, with the first recommendation being the heavy sword "Eternal Farewell," which passively increases Lightning damage by 20%, perfectly matching all of Zhiliu's skills (all of which are Lightning-based). For example, the tap effect of "Unlock Heaven's Secrets" is "Full Talisman Array," dealing 150% Lightning damage, which can be increased to 180% with "Eternal Farewell," making a noticeable difference when fighting bosses. If you don't have "Eternal Farewell," you can also use the dual guns "Lightning Dance," although the damage isn't as high as the heavy sword, its attack speed is fast, suitable for flexible output. For magical artifacts, it's recommended to choose "Thunder Seal" (increases Lightning damage) and "Spirit Recovery Talisman" (solves the issue of insufficient spirit), the former boosts output, and the latter alleviates endurance pressure.

The core mechanism of Zhiliu is the "Unlock Heaven's Secrets" skill, through tapping or holding to obtain different "Full Talismans," with a maximum of two held at once. Tapping "Unlock Heaven's Secrets" grants "Full Talisman Array," a high single-target damage talisman, suitable for fighting bosses. Holding "Unlock Heaven's Secrets" grants "Full Talisman Training," a buff talisman, providing a 24-second damage buff to the entire team. When holding two talismans, you can trigger the ultimate: two "Full Talisman Arrays" trigger "Positive Resonance," dealing extremely high single-target damage with a short cooldown, essential for boss fights. Two "Full Talisman Trainings" trigger "Heaven and Earth Resonance," which doesn't deal much damage but enhances subsequent skill damage by 30%, useful for stacking buffs before clearing mobs. One "Full Talisman Array" and one "Full Talisman Training" trigger "All Things Flourish," a large AOE, excellent for clearing groups of enemies.

The operational process is actually quite simple, and beginners can follow these steps: start by holding "Unlock Heaven's Secrets" twice, obtaining two "Full Talisman Trainings," triggering "Heaven and Earth Resonance," providing a 24-second damage buff to the entire team. If facing a group of enemies (such as waves of small monsters in secret realm exploration), hold "Unlock Heaven's Secrets" once and tap once, obtaining one "Full Talisman Training" and one "Full Talisman Array," triggering "All Things Flourish," to clear a large area of enemies. It's recommended to bring an assist character like Fushu, whose skill circle restores 2 points of spirit per second, solving the endurance problem by standing inside it.

In terms of equipment selection, the recommended magic wedge is "Siren's Wing Encouragement," increasing the spirit limit by 64%, ensuring the frequency of skill release. For damage-increasing items, prioritize "White-haired Wind," enhancing shield damage and area output. For weapons, assault rifles or polearms are more suitable, with priority given to crit rate, crit damage, and effect hit, ensuring stable skill triggers. Properly pairing teammates, optimizing equipment attributes, and mastering the timing of skill releases are key to maximizing Zhiliu's output.

This concludes our sharing on how to play Zhiliu in Double Helix. Zhiliu is the most versatile DPS in Double Helix, ideal for beginners, offering both high output and great operational enjoyment. As long as you master the talisman combinations of "Unlock Heaven's Secrets," choose the right weapon, and solve the spirit issue, she can become the core of your team's offense. If you enjoy high burst and high operational fun, Zhiliu is definitely the top choice in Double Helix—go ahead and try her out in the game!
