Zhongli |
Zhongli is a Genshin Impact character with very high defensive power. In terms of stats, he is tougher than many other characters. Not only that, the Geo element and skills that are getting stronger based on the number of HP also make the team that together with Zhongli need not be afraid of swallowing damage from the opponent. But besides that, it also has quite high burst damage and can become a team DPS if needed.
Here is the best build for Zhongli in Genshin Impact.
Best Weapon for Zhongli
Zhongli is generally played as a support in charge of creating a shield as well as a pillar of energy. Then if available, he will also use Elemental Burst to generate damage and more importantly make the opponent silent for a few seconds. Because it gets stronger based on the amount of HP, Zhongli does not have a weapon that synergizes with his Elemental Skills. Therefore, the weapon of choice should focus on Elemental Burst.
- Favonius Lance: Zhongli has Elemental Burst with a short cooldown and a fairly short cooldown. But to make sure this Burst is always ready, you may need additional Energy Recharge provided by Favonius Lance.
- Crescent Pike: Zhongli can also be installed as a DPS thanks to his fairly fast attack animation by relying on physical attacks. But in order to maximize his skill, you can use Crescent Pike which gives bonus attack when you get Elemental Orb / Particle.
Best Artifact for Zhongli
- Tenacity of the Millelith (4): This new Artifact set is clearly for Zhongli. This set not only provides additional HP, but also bonus Attack and Shield Strength when your Elemental Skill hits your opponent. For Zhongli, this effect will certainly be active almost any time.
- Noblesse Oblige (2) + Archaic Petra (2): Before the Millelith set appeared, the Artifact choices for Zhongli support were a pair of Noblesse and Archaic. But its function is a little different because it leads to increasing Elemental Burst damage rather than increasing the Shield's strength.
- Pale Flame (2) + Bloodstained Chivalry (2): For Zhongli who plays DPS, the best choice is of course a pair of Pale Flame and Bloodstained. Both of them provide bonus Physical Damage which is Zhongli's main source of damage if he wants to play as DPS.
