  • miHoYo recently introduced Zhongli
  • While many are disappointed with Zhongli, there is a way to bring out his god-tier abilities

One of the possible reasons why many “Genshin Impact” players are disappointed about Zhongli is that they have high expectations about the character. However, several players have uncovered several builds on how to let Zhongli his god-tier abilities. One of the best Zhongli builds that some players might want to have a look is using him as a primary physical damage dealer.

Zhongli As a Primary Physical Damage Dealer

Artifacts

In this build, ”Genshin Impact” players should focus on Zhongli’s Damage and Crit Rates. Players could use a 2-piece Brave Heart, a 2-piece Berserker, a 2-piece Martial Artist or a 2-piece Resolution of Sojourner. In the late part of the game, players should use a 2-piece Bloodstained Chivarly and a 2-piece Gladiator’s Finale.

Weapons

Zhongli can utilize any three-star weapon as a starting choice if Zhongli’s supporting role is overly picky with weapons. But, players could use the Crescent Pike because of its doubled physical damage and its accessibility. The 5-star weapon like the Primordial Jade Winged-Spear for CRIT damage. For players looking for extra sustainability, they could use the Vortex Vanquisher.

Playstyle

When used as a Primary Physical Damage Dealer, Zhongli should be their focal point in every fight. First, they must use their cryo and electro-based characters to unleash their Elemental Burst or Skills. When this is done, players can finally let Zhongli have his grand entrance and let him unleash a relentless fire of physical attacks.

Players must dodge any incoming attacks to shield Zhongli. Also, players’ Geo Steele could add damage, particularly against geo shielded Hilichurls. As soon as the superconduct expires, players could switch to cryo and electro-based characters and just repeat the process.

Synergies

“Genshin Impact” players should use Zhongli with characters that decrease the enemies’ physical damage resistance. Players could try using Xinyan as a fourth option considering the damage boost that she gives for the team. Also, considering that Zhongli DPS is not as tanky as his support counterpart, it is recommended that players bring a healer in their party.

“Genshin Impact” is now available in PC, PlayStation 4, iOS and Android devices.
