I’m a zhongli user and out of all of the characters I use, he’s the one that remains constant. His ability to negate stagger for some party members and provide a shield is absolute. You have the wanderer? Need Zhongli, u have neuvilette? Need zhongli. Have Arlechino? Use Zhongli. Don’t like shields? Use him for his burst, and pair him with Raiden, Bennett, or both. His weaknesses are in his regular attacks and the geo dmg from his Pilars u won’t be dealing much dmg with these. The pillars are mostly for burst regen. He also doesn’t deal well with enemies that give the curse of bond of life including the wolves that drain health over time if hit. His c6 helps with this a bit but not significantly, a healer is a must with these situations or find a way to end the battle as quickly as possible. His C6 ability is… interesting, it’s not worth the hassle if ur aiming for it. The healing u get is borderline significant, enough that u can still pair him with Arlechino, and still get small incremental health on hit for other characters. His heals are slightly better to Jean’s healing from her basic attacks. Apart from that his kit all focus on his shield, which makes it op. Unless ur dealing with an enemy that can take out ur regular health bar in 3 hits, u will be able to handle most encounters.
I'm a new player who pulled a C1N1 Hu Tao and now I need a C0 Zhongli to complete the package. I'm skipping Mavuika and Arlecchino. I'm going to party like it's 2021! No regrets after seeing Mavuika and Arlecchino. Citlali's shield is also meh. I love how Zhongli only really needs the 3 star black tassel too.
The brutal truth about Zhongli is that the person who designed his original kit and his “signature” weapon was high on crack that day Absolute disrespect to Rex Lapis
Idk what they were thinking with Zhongli. He’s a geo user that scales off of hp not def, he’s a spear user instead of a claymore or 2 handed weapon (Can’t break rocks with basic attacks and geo enemies usually don’t get hurt as much by spears) his signature weapon is… well it’s wrong in all the worst ways, don’t even need to explain that one, it emphasizes the aspects or categories that he’s weak in. His skill is limited by the character capacity of only able to create 2 pillar constructs, which is fine but… it’s also limited by the world capacity (A max of 3 geo constructs can exist in the world for any and all characters regardless of the construct). And the damage it does is abysmal, mainly used as a battery for his ult.
He's on the list, but too far down to pull right now. I have enough characters and I'm only planning to pull on weapon banners from now on unless someone really exceptional and game-changing comes up.
zls biggest weakness is that he doesnt do anth playing him is like playing a 3 man team which rly does hurt trying to make the dps check for abyss which is usually the only roadblock to clearing it like fym next to perfect lol purely from a meta perspective hes one of the worst 5*s in the game lol and usage rates are hardly indicative of meta and yshelper is the biggest laughing stock in the actual meta community esp on the cn nga forums, the only reason healers are relavent is furina, ad chars like tao havnt wanted zl since release and dont mind the healing current with her best teams having furina in them.
Proud C6 triple crowned Zhongli owner here. The man has not left my team ever since he was first released. One thing is not talked about enough is his confort due to the 100% uptime and the 40 energy burst. With a Fav Lance you will be bursting every rotation and petrifying all the pesky small enemies. After all these years maybe the other decent shielder is Layla but Zhongli's shield remains superior. But let's wait for the release of Citlali and see how the meta evolves.
For Kinich, Zhongli is a viable option if you don't have emilie, since he can use deepwood, but the other pyro unit I think Dehya (with tenacity) probably the best for him. So the team is Kinich, Zhongli, Dehya, and Benny.
I would say it's a good idea to pull for Zhongli if you're in need of interruption resistance, but if you're saving for other characters then there are some really great F2P options regarding shielders! (Also Zhongli's honestly just really cool so that's another reason 😭)
Imo every rerun character currently isn't worth it. Not saying he's bad, I use him every day during artifact route, etc. But I'd rather use other characters over him nowadays. I'm sorry Daddy Zhongli 😅
For me, it's too late to skip zhongli.... I already prefarmed everything for him, I lost 50/50 on xilonen banner and been saving my 54 guaranteed pity for him, so I'm pulling him and I skipped every natlan 5 star so far too
@@strygner yeah, I pulled him like 2yrs ago cause I wanted to get Xiao, still no Xiao lol And i couldn't advise in good conscious to pull on reruns atm, ESPECIALLY if one is f2p. If you spend money on the game it's different. I have a rerun list and I haven't gotten anyone on there so far cause it's never a good time since Fontaine.
Yes, end of story.
Meta is temporary, Style is eternal
- Some wise man probably
wise words indeed.
Zhongli isn't more stylish than Mavuika lol
I got him c1 first banner, I still use him and don’t regret him.
Pull him or you're in violation of the contract
ar 58 here. i have learned most attacks and i dont use any shield characters. now my wanderer deserves some intruption resistance.

i have chiori so i need him now

i was planning to get zhongli but every time i try to its another character that i want next patch :(
oh well maybe next time
SURELY NEXT TIME
I was you for the last 3yrs ,but no more ,i'm pulling zhong just for lore...
They rerun him more often
in today meta zhongli is "an option when u dont want to learn enemy moveset and ok about lowering your damage"
I love geo Daddy, please come home on 5.2 - a laggy mobile player
Good thing i have him before future character power creep him, very useful for me when i was starting

my guess is he was supposed to be an on field dps but found at later it was trash and geo at the time was bad that it got a rework at 1.3
I wanted Zhongli but I didn't need Zhongli so I'm sadly skipping.
He's on the list, but too far down to pull right now. I have enough characters and I'm only planning to pull on weapon banners from now on unless someone really exceptional and game-changing comes up.
exceptional and game changing = Zhongli in terms of adding a shield. Just saying. 😅

But let's wait for the release of Citlali and see how the meta evolves.
Citlali's shield is reported to be very weak. Zhongli will remain the shield king always.
My plan is to get him to c4 this time.
He's my fav archon.
I have him with his own weapon r2
Look at all those lovely husbandos this account has so beautiful wow
I wonder whose account this is.
“YES”
Still a very solid character.
He indeed is.
For Kinich, Zhongli is a viable option if you don't have emilie, since he can use deepwood, but the other pyro unit I think Dehya (with tenacity) probably the best for him. So the team is Kinich, Zhongli, Dehya, and Benny.
Great video mr strummer ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Zhongli vs citlali
kinich is flimsy gets interrupted and dies easily......do I need zhongli?
I would say it's a good idea to pull for Zhongli if you're in need of interruption resistance, but if you're saving for other characters then there are some really great F2P options regarding shielders! (Also Zhongli's honestly just really cool so that's another reason 😭)
jokes on u, i have saved 500 wishes for him mwuahahaha>:)
I am very happy for you, get the man c6.
Any archon that doesn't have an on field presence is underwhelming, unfortunately.
Imo every rerun character currently isn't worth it. Not saying he's bad, I use him every day during artifact route, etc. But I'd rather use other characters over him nowadays. I'm sorry Daddy Zhongli 😅
Fair fair he is just a valuable unit to have. 😊
For me, it's too late to skip zhongli.... I already prefarmed everything for him, I lost 50/50 on xilonen banner and been saving my 54 guaranteed pity for him, so I'm pulling him and I skipped every natlan 5 star so far too

@strygner Thank you!!
Really no
First
I AM FIRST :🤣
I need someone who will have order and will stabilaise my account so i'm pulling for Zhong
