Top Zhongli Formations, Armaments, and Groups in Genshin Impact

Zhongli is a 5-star Geo Polearm shielder in" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Genshin Effect. These are the top teams, weapons, and artifacts to use while building a Zhongli construct that is as sturdy as stone.

Styles of Play

Zhongli is often used as a support shield. Shielder Zhongli just stacks as much HP as he can since his shield scales with his maximum HP. Use his hold E to create a shield during fight, then switch to other team members. Although you are able to utilize his Burst as well, the animation time will usually not be justified by the damage it does. However, its invincibility frames might be useful in preventing damage from certain strikes. You may give Zhongli a hybrid build as an invested support if you really want him to do damage. While HP is still necessary for robust shields, his Burst does respectable damage when CRIT numbers are included. Only consider using Burst Damage Zhongli if you have a substantial amount of money to spend on him. Other playstyles exist as well (such as Physical DPS Zhongli and Bloom Zhongli), but they are more specialized and won't be discussed here.

Weaponry

etc.Each weapon's annotations provide the suggested playstyle for that particular weapon. Employees at Homa Zhongli's best weapon for burst damage. A 5-star weapon that increases CRIT DMG and HP. Additionally, portion of Zhongli's HP is changed into ATK, which increases the damage that may be done by certain of your defensive attributes. Lance Favonius Suggested for Zhongli the shielder. While Zhongli may create Energy for the squad as a whole because to the weapon's passive, he seldom needs as much Energy Recharge as Favonius does. If use this weapon, build up some CRIT Rate. Dark-colored Tassel Suggested for Zhongli the shielder. Although it isn't as useful as Favonius, Zhongli's shield will be the strongest in thanks to the HP secondary stat.Impact of Genshin. It's relatively simple to get as a 3-star weapon with .greetings.Queller de Calamité / Jade Winged-Spear Primordial / Vortex Vanquisher – Any of these five-star weapons that you have extra may be used on Zhongli for burst damage. Although I wouldn't advise pulling them especially for Zhongli, they do decent damage in the absence of Staff of Homa. "The Catch" / Wavebreaker's Fin / Deathmatch If none of the above choices are available to you, there are 4-star possibilities for Zhongli's burst damage. Some of the 5-stars on the aforementioned list can be out-damaged by these with refinements.

2 PC HP combos Suggested for Zhongli the shielder. Zhongli's shield strength may be maximized by combining 2pc sets with HP enhancements (such as Tenacity of the Millelith and Vourukasha's Glow). 4pc The Millelith's Tenacity (4TotM) Suggested for Zhongli the shielder. His shields are boosted by the 2pc effect, and when his Jade Pillar strikes an opponent, the 4pc effect gives a 20% ATK boost to the whole squad. 4 pieces Noblesse Oblige (4NO) Suggested for Zhongli burst damage. increases the damage of Zhongli's burst and gives the whole team a 20% ATK boost when he bursts. Other combinations – Combining beneficial set bonuses with 2 piece sets is acceptable. For Zhongli's burst damage, HP, Geo DMG, Energy Recharge, and ATK are all helpful numbers. You may completely avoid set bonuses while using shielder Zhongli by simply sorting your artifacts based on HP and equipping the highest-scoring items

Stats for Artifacts

Sands	Goblet	Circlet
HP	HP Geo DMG	HP CRIT Rate/DMG

If Zhongli is not linked with another Geo unit, his energy recharge needs may be rather high. It is important to have at least one additional Geo unit in your party while playing Burst damage Zhongli in order to produce particles and trigger Geo resonance. Zhongli will need an Energy Recharge of around 130–140% in a double Geo squad.Shielder Zhongli may completely disregard Energy Recharge since he doesn't need to Burst at all. Simply stack as many points as you can. If employing Favonius Lance, think about using a CRIT Rate circlet.You can Apply ATK Sands to damaging bursts. Zhongli, however there isn't much of a damage gain over HP. Whenever feasible, I advise utilizing an HP Sands since HP also strengthens his shielding powers.

Groups

Bend Shielder

Zhongli is a shielder who can play on almost any team. His shield provides interruption resistance and decreases opponent RES to all elements, which is excellent for many on-field DPS troops who could otherwise be stunned during their combos. This include groups such as:

• Yoimiya – Xingqiu/Yelan – Bennett/Yun Jin – Zhongli
• Hu Tao – Xingqiu – Yelan – Zhongli
• Xiao – Faruzan – Bennett – Zhongli
• Lyney – Bennett – Kazuha – Zhongli
• Alhaitham – Nahida – Fischl – Zhongli
• Cyno – Xingqiu/Yelan – Dendro Traveler/Nahida – Zhongli

This isn't a comprehensive list. Zhongli may be added to any squad that isn't already negatively impacted by having a Geo teammate. You may frequently avoid using a healer as well because of how powerful his shield is. However, be wary of HP-depleting mechanisms such as Corrosion.

Two Geo

Breakage Damage Zhongli has to be utilized with a minimum of one additional Geo unit. Considering that he can consistently produce Geo particles and provide respectable damage, Albedo in particular has excellent synergy. Albedo and Zhongli provide an excellent double Geo combination that can be easily included into a variety of squads. As examples, consider:

• Yoimiya – Bennett/Yun Jin/Kazuha – Albedo – Zhongli
• Hu Tao – Xingqiu/Yelan – Albedo – Zhongli
• Xiao – Faruzan – Albedo – Zhongli
• Lyney – Bennett – Albedo – Zhongli
• Noelle/Itto – Gorou – Albedo – Zhongli

Microwave

The unofficial name used by the community to describe a special interaction between Zhongli and the Geo constructions of other characters is Microwave. Damage pulses from Zhongli's Jade Pillar have the ability to spread to other Geo structures. The field can only contain three Geo constructs at a time, although Geo Traveler's Burst may build four constructs that are not counted against that limit. This implies that Albedo's skill, Zhongli's pillar, and Geo Traveler's skill and burst may all work together to do damage in bursts. Place these structures around an adversary and watch as your "microwave" prepares your food. You could wish to sacrifice shield strength in order to get more ATK in order to optimize your microwave damage.
