Genshin Impact Zhongli Build and Best Team Comp

Also, we have other useful guides about all Genshin Impact characters that you might find interesting and useful. You can see the link below.

Zhongli Talents

What is the most important when you make a team comp in Genshin Impact is to remember that your characters must work together. Their talents need to assist each other and only via reactions. Some characters have talents that will change the whole impression about them when you see their talents.

Like any other character, Zhongli has two types of talents – active and passive. The whole description of Zhongli’s skills (talents) you can read via the link. In this post, we focus on the basic strategies and will explain what Zhongli talents are worth paying attention to. Let’s start with talent priority for Zhongli.

Talent Priority for Zhongli

Planet Befall > Dominus Lapidis > Rain of Stone

Planet Befall is Zhongli’s Elemental Burst. It brings a falling meteor down to earth, dealing massive Geo DMG to opponents caught in its AoE and applying the Petrification status to them. Opponents affected by the Petrification status cannot move.

Dominus Lapidis is Zhongli’s Elemental Skill. When Pressed commands the power of the earth to create a Stone Stele. When Hold Causes nearby Geo energy to explode, causing the following effects:

  • If their maximum number hasn’t been reached, creates a Stone Stele.
  • Creates a shield of jade. The shield’s DMG Absorption scales based on Zhongli’s Max HP.
  • Deals AoE Geo DMG.
  • If there are nearby targets with the Geo element, it will drain a large amount of Geo element from a maximum of 2 such targets. This effect does not cause DMG.

Rain of Stone is Zhongli’s Normal Attack. It is similar to any spear attack. Performs up to 6 consecutive spear strikes. Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to lunge forward, causing stone spears to fall along his path as a charged attack. Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact as plunging attack.

Zhongli Ascension Passives

The other important thing is to know how exactly character ascension enhances them and what advantages you can get out of it for your team-building strategy. We what to attract your attention to the following Zhongli Ascension Passives.

Resonant Waves

1st Ascension Passive

When the Jade Shield takes DMG, it will Fortify:

  • Fortified characters have 5% increased Shield Strength.
  • Can stack up to 5 times, and lasts until the Jade Shield disappears.

This is an effective and strong shield.

Dominance of Earth

4th Ascension Passive

Zhongli deals bonus DMG based on his Max HP:

  • Normal Attack, Charged Attack, and Plunging Attack DMG is increased by 1.39% of Max HP.
  • Dominus Lapidis’ Stone Stele, resonance, and hold DMG is increased by 1.9% of Max HP.
  • Planet Befall’s DMG is increased by 33% of Max HP.

As you see you need to max Zhongli’s HP.

Depending on what we have written above we will continue with character combinations that will suit Genshin Impact Zhongli team the most.

As for the constellations. The more you upgrade Zhongli the better his shield and in the long run damage he makes. It is essential to go as high as you can.

Genshin Impact Zhongli Team Comp Options

There are several roles that all characters obtain in Genshin Impact. Your perfect team would consist of the Main DPS, 2 SUB-DPS characters and one Support. Main DPS is occupied by a character that can deal a decent amount of damage from all sources, auto attacks, elemental reactions and elemental bursts. Sub DPSs are needed to activate reactions that boost the main DPS’ damage or deal some extra damage while the main DPS is sticking their elemental burst. Support can vary typically it is a healer/shielder, but in some cases, it can be a battery (the character that stacks elemental burst for the team) or a spreader (the character that can spread reactions activated by all the characters).

Zhongli is something in between sub-DPS and support. He is valuable for his shields, but if you have him at least C5 Zhongli will become a decent sub-DPS. Below you can see some options for different Genshin Impact Zhongli team comps that we find decent. But let’s start with the Genshin Impact free-to-play Zhongli team comp.
