Carlotta + Zhezhi vs Carlotta + Sanhua: Best Glacio Enable 2026

Carlotta's premium team (Carlotta + Zhezhi + Shorekeeper) uses Zhezhi's Glacio coord buff and fast Concerto for near-perfect uptime. The F2P team (Carlotta + Sanhua + Baizhi) is free and still very strong, but Sanhua's buff is smaller and not Glacio-specific.

Carlotta + Zhezhi vs Carlotta + Sanhua (F2P)

Carlotta + Zhezhi

Team: Carlotta + Zhezhi + Shorekeeper

Zhezhi applies Glacio buffs + coordinated attacks and feeds Concerto fast; Shorekeeper adds team ATK / CRIT; Carlotta enters the aimed state and unloads her combo inside the buff window.

Pros:

Highest Carlotta ceiling
Zhezhi's Glacio coord is tailored to her
Fast, clean rotation

Cons:

Requires Zhezhi (limited)
Expensive to build

Rotation: Zhezhi coord + Concerto -> Carlotta hold-Basic combo + Liberation -> repeat

Carlotta + Sanhua (F2P)

Team: Carlotta + Sanhua + Baizhi

Sanhua builds fast Concerto and hands a Heavy-Attack / Glacio buff; Baizhi heals; Carlotta still dumps her combo but with a smaller team buff.

Pros:

Fully free units
Near-ceiling on a free team
Teaches the aimed-state rotation

Cons:

Lower team buff than Zhezhi
No Glacio-specific coord

Rotation: Sanhua Concerto + buff -> Carlotta hold-Basic combo -> repeat

Verdict

Sanhua is the best free enable and gets Carlotta near ceiling. Pull Zhezhi only if you also run other Glacio / Spectro carries, since her coord value is account-wide.
