NOTE: 2:44 In case it wasn't clear, the shield's health is still technically the same on different characters, since that is based on the talent level and stats of the character giving the shield. However, the incoming DMG the shield will absorb varies due to the active character's DEF. That's why for some characters with low DEF, it feels like the shield is "worse," since the same enemy hits will do more DMG on them versus a character with high DEF. Hence, the result is the same shield seems to perform better or worse (even though it still absorbs the same maximum amount of DMG overall). Reply if you're pulling!

I am pulling for Zhongli coz even though I am straight, Daddy Geo makes me weak in the knees...and he is guaranteed....i am sad that i have no decent dps for my other team in abyss so i hope i get ganyu 🥲
Hell yeah I'm getting him. He's the reason I've become so invested in the game even though I couldn't play it back then due to not having compatible devices for genshin. Kinda scared that I may lose the 50/50 since I got Xiao pretty early so idk if the same will work for Zhongli. Nevertheless, I have primos ready for him, just hoping he'd come home early.
The pillar has some additional properties. 4. It generates mini shields when hitting other elements along with the particles. 5. If placed properly or the placement is utilized it can block incoming projectiles. 6. It can be used to keep certain abilities in place such as the anemo traveler's ult.
For my experience as having a f2p zhongli, geo daddy is definitely worth pulling for as he makes the game in easy mode. Not to mention, be ready for his voice line "osmanthus wine......". 😅 Anyways, very good and comprehensive guide again. Thanks for making this for those who still have doubts if they will pull the geo daddy or not. 🥰
Lmao, I now understand why people found it annoying as I just got him today xD he said the 'Osmanthus wine' spiel 3 times within the better part of a minute
This is my all-time favorite character and I don't even have him yet! I'm praying I roll for him early because I just enjoy Geo so much, and his story resonated with me greatly!
I got Zhongli during his 1st rerun. Back then I was using white tassel, then I got the catch and now he has the Homa. He's the most used character and basically never left my team forever.
@@JohnDiggle21 I think it depends on you, if you tend to die a lot I would build him as a shield bot but if u lack damage and also want a shield I would build him as a hybrid.

Zhongli is such a comfort pick he's been a massive help to my melt ganyu reducing pyro and cyro while allowing me to not have to cancel my charge shots He's also great with my noelle since she will always be close to fhe enemy for the resistance shread and he's good for my hu tao since unless there's corrosion I don't need a healer
Ever since I got Zhongli, he never left my team. I am using him as full-time shielder (all HP). I wish to find better artifacts for him to up his burst dmg but I'm still saving up artifacts and mora for when I get Raiden Shogun (hopefully). Also planning on getting a constellation for Zhongli. At least I might get a Yanfei to complete her constellations too. Oh Yanfei, I use her more than I use Hu Tao 🤐

@@kuja5809 yes, indeed. But although I have them both on 4p crimson, even though I’ve been trying to get used to Hu Tao’s play style, I just can’t seem to get used to it 🥲
@@parksanhwa8904 lol 😆 😂 I understand I also have some characters with amazing artifacts with great substats but I don't use them lol. Nothing wrong with having a favorite Playstyle and character
Zhongli is such a good character. IMO he’s the one character that’s really truly game changing. There are a ton of great DPS characters but only one jade shield.
I was on the fence with pulling for him again after I lost my first account with him, I actually got super good at dodging… but his rerun got me and now I have him back and better than ever 😭 there goes my dodging skills I guess
Always so detailed and well explained! I love that you go into pros and cons of play styles and artifact sets, not just their skills. I’ve spent so much Primo on his banner I have dreams about it, BUT IT WAS WORTH IT. (Also thank you for the great Beido guide!)
Zhongli was the first character I ever wanted. I got Jean on Childe Banner but that was before I knew what pity was, I fully skipped Klee's first banner just to get Zhongli. I will get him everything. I am f2p but I plan to C6 him (C2 right now), and get him to the max 62k hp (56k right now). Solely because I like him.
How? I have him C0 lvl.90 but, He only has 25k hp. But his crit rate is 72.6% Crit dmg 117% attack is 2k+. Pls.tell me should I give his artifacts to Ningguang and focus on upping his hp?
@@Dawn371 Depends, how do you use him? If you want him to do dmg, the build you have is fine. I don't need him to do dmg, I just want to make sure nothing staggers me, so I made his shield as strong as possible (aka as much hp as possible)
@@serezelveydawn ok thanks.I will try rebuilding him with all hp. His shield is low fortunately Jean is my team's life saver😀His artifacts will turn Ningguang into a goddess 😍
I’ve just found you on this platform- where have you been all my genshin life?!? You’re so easy to listen to and I finally know what I’m doing! Thanks a bunch and keep up your amazing work 💜💜💜
okay i was literally waiting for YOUR guide especially idk why but when u make guides about characters ur videos include almost everything that it is about the said character and u explain their mechanics very well too
2:30 You're the first RUclipsr I've heard ever mention this...I would have never known otherwise. Thanks for providing valuable information in your videos 🙏🏿
I managed to get an R5 Crescent Pike and once I snag Yunjin from the next event, I'll finally have my perfect Physical DPS comp. Kicking the spear and seeing all those numbers pop up is simply priceless 👌🏻
@@aparnarai3708 Pretty good - about 7-8k per Normal Attack. But R5 Pike + Yun Jin is a lot of investment for a "pretty good" amount of damage, so I wouldn't recommend unless you really enjoy the playstyle.
finally a zhongli guide that at least mentions 4pc archaic petra. its such an undervalued set bonus in my opinion. it works wonders with a snapshotting pyronade
To the new players in genshin, Zhongli will make you so buff. He can never die unless he doesn't have much defensing but although for care he can give shields, he can heal, sub dps, main, support, he's everything you literally need.
Got him on his 1st rerun. One of my absolute fav. characters! I’ve always run him in a hybrid build: Just over 30K HP, Milileth (x4), refine 5 Crescent Pike. Talents are at 9, 10, 10. And he’s awesome! He and my C6 Noelle have neck-and-neck equal shielding ability (with him winning uptime, of course) so I always have 2 EXCELLENT, nearly unbeatable shielders to choose from. And the both of them can dish out the punishment when needed as well!
Thank you for the guide Sevy! I lost 50/50 to Mona when casually pulling for Klee's banner at the last minute (I didn't think I'd get 5* since it's my 4th 10 pull--usually I get one on my 7-8th) , so now I'm torn between pulling for Yoimiya or saving up for Zhongli. I think I will save for Zhongli due to his functionality in facing multiple enemies, since that is the common situation in the game. I'm also happy that at least before I lost, I managed to get Kazuha and he's been very helpful :D
Your simping for Zhongli was so good I love it 😂 I saved up for both him and Ganyu (my most wanted characters) and plan to build him as a hybrid shield/burst dps because I want him on field!
I love your explanations! I’ve been playing for a bit less than 2 weeks and started streaming from the very beginning. And I got zhongli on my first pull and I just got Ganyu on my 5th. And your guides have been amazing!
Zhongli's attack animation was the reason I got him, even though I wasn't even planning on getting him lol. I'm not even into the male characters but ever since I've gotten him, he's my main & in almost every screenshots I take when exploring new areas.
So I didn't get him in the last rerun, but 3.0 one got him home 🥳 even at low levels he made my life SO MUCH EASIER, and this guide is wonderful! Will definitely use it
@SevyPlays Since you asked, I run a Burst Shielder Zhongli. Primary Focus on HP with R1 Staff of Homa. With his Passive Talent and Staff of Homa Effect, all of that HP makes his Damage Output skyrocket. And I've got his ER to an insane level so his Rock is almost always up and it does high damage. I can, basically, switch to Pure Burst Zhongli by swapping out Homa for my R5 Catch. I'll always have Rock and Rock's Damage becomes insane. With this build I can, conceivably, run Wavebreaker's Fin (which is also R5) instead of Catch without really harming Rock's uptime, depending on my Team Comp. I usually keep Homa on him though as I like to run him with Thoma who uses The Catch. Of course, when running Thoma without Zhongli, Homa goes on Thoma. Staff of Thoma engage!
Hii! Much love from Sweden 🇸🇪 I really have to say this.. Sevy, you are the first streamer, in my eyes, that explain everything so plain and simple, that I understand what you are talking about right away! I don't know if it's a woman thing, but when some male streamer talk, at times I get confused and have more questions then answers 🙈🤣 I've only played Horizon zero dawn, before playing genshin. And it's a hole new language to learn when it comes to artifacts and aoe and sub, elemental bla bla bla... I'm starting to understand it better and much of that is because I found your channel! ❤ You're the best! 😃
I'm so excited to try to pull him. I really want him for my Ningguang team. Thanks for the guide, it was really helpful! (Especially for lower AR members like me who switched to PC after leaving Genshin for a few years on the PS4. So thank you for thinking about us!)
Sevy! This is by far the most comprehensive and informative Zhongli video out there! I'm a Zhongli main (idk why I watch his guides) but I like too anyways just to see what other people suggest, and it's SO rare for anyone to bring up his on field damage builds.
Hey Sevy| First time I've watched one of your videos, and not only does it get extra points for being about Zhongli, but also you explain things so clearly and so beautifuly! A very heart felt thank you
I pulled for Zhongli with a guarantee and now, running around with him, when you said something along the lines of "be ready for his old man grunts" lives rent-free in my head. He is so much noisier than I was expecting lol Love your work; I follow a few Genshin RUclipsrs but you're the only one I actually feel like recommending since you're a vibe! Just your intro here shows you *get* it
I've been waiting for this guide because in past videos you mentioned you simped for Zhongli since the beginning, and I knew this would be super in depth and you did not disappoint LOL. I have been waiting for a Zhongli rerun since I started playing during Yomiya's banner. I WISH ALL ZHONGLI WANTERS TO SOON BE ZHONGLI HAVERS.
I started playing when his banner was on. Needless to say i didn't pull because i didnt have pulls nor did i understand anything about genshin yet. Soon he became my favourite character and im still waiting for a rerun 🤧🤣
Thank you for including low AR builds for artifacts, as a casual player I use artifacts I got from bosses or normal enemies. Trying to get a suitable artifact with good sub stats is just too much for me.
i hope i get him tomorrow :3 i only managed to get enough fates to get me to soft pity (i'm guaranteed) but i'm a believer 😌 thanks sevy for the guide! his different playstyles makes me excited to get him.
I pulled for him today and got him on the first try with c1 beidou , my pity was 69, i'm so happy because I really wanted him , then I pulled on the weapons banner and got the primordial jade winged spear and surcose , this guide was really helpful because I suck at undersstanding how the builds work, thanks
he makes the game much easier! since i got zhongli it really changed everything! that was the best starter option i did in 2.4 . you can clear everything quick bc you become... untouchable. with a 50k hp your shield is indestructible till corrosion makes its way in
YEHEY FINALLY, THANK YOU SO MUCH SEVY!! I wanted to comment on your previous videos but I was shy to ask when will you do an updated Zhongli guide, but it's finally here. Thank you definitely worth the wait!
Thank you so much for this guide and for your video the other day about why to get Zhongli! I'm a relatively new player and was able to get him as my first 5 star! I really appreciate that you gave options for low and mid-AR players for building him. Awesome vid!
Got Zhongli, This was the 1st Banner I saw of Him, Got Him in the 1st 10 Pull. Feeling SOOOOOOO Blessed. My Games Changed Completely and I feel Not having him is Cheating. Never thought I will have to see Zhongli Guide, Coz I had no hope of getting him this easy after getting Arataki and Xiao (All Bellow 50 Pitty).
Subscribed, like the way you break things down in a simple to grasp format. I dont have him yet, but will be aiming for him this time round....C0 obviously.
Planning to do a hybrid burst bot-shield bot build for him to maximize his support potential! Just wanted to say too, I really appreciate that your guides mention recommendations for low AR players. I've been playing Genshin for a little over a year now but for various reasons I can't play consistently and for very long so my AR is still low. When I want to build a character, I can't find guides that touch on low AR options and honestly it's kinda discouraging when everyone says low AR players shouldn't try to properly build characters yet. 😅 Anyway thank you so much the guide, it was very helpful! Looking forward to your future content!
Thank you for your videos @sevyplays - I really appreciate the way you explain things and am watching ALL of them haha! Even characters I don’t have to see if I want them! You’re so calm & yet also funny & friendly. Perfect guide maker - thank you!!! 🙏🏻 ❤ PS : Oh! And more videos about weapons would be amazing - I have got so many random weapons now, and I can’t watch every character video and remember the weapon lists lol - so videos on all types of weapons. Like an areas weapons. Or just swords etc etc - and who is best for them, how the passives actually work(!) more guides like that would be amazing!! I think people would enjoy that especially new players! If you ever have time!! :)
Question for anyone who knows what to do: My current mono-geo team is Noelle (C1), Albedo (C0), Gorou (C0), and Ningguang (C2). My main dps is Noelle, with Ningguang as a quick swap. My Ningguang is not super invested in, but she does a decent amount of damage (realitively) and generates quite a few particles so I can use my teams bursts more. Here is my conundrum, with Zhongli coming as a banner again soon, I don't know if I should get him (C0) and replace Ningguang in my team. I know Zhongli does a decent amount of resistance shred while also having the best shield and a decent burst. However, I have also heard that he doesn't generate too many geo particles, which would prevent me from using my bursts more often, and I already have a good enough shield with Noelle. My question is how much potential do I lose or gain by keeping Ningguang instead of switching out her with Zhongli in my geo team specifically? I know Zhongli has a lot of value for geo teams, but I am unsure how much exactly. Thanks for reading this and God bless!
He is good for comfort. Will increase your damage (if you are dealing 10k, with his shield it will become 12k). Since you are also running a geo team, he will benefit more from geo resonance. You can build him with Crit rate then equip him with Favonius Lance to lighten your energy problems. Overall though, he is not a must pull, but is a very big QoL comfort upgrade.
i just started playing the game for a month and my first event banner pull i get Zhong-li !! it makes my game easier to play now. One of the reason why i started to love genshin. then i keep on saving primogems and now i have Raiden Shogun!! :)
What I did for Zhongli while soloing bosses as him is 2 piece mililith and 2 piece summer night, then everything is just hp, for weapons if you’re doing shield or high hp is black tassel for hp or vortex vanquisher for shield strength, add another geo and with this build you have lots of hp and 70% shield strength all the time, 95% shield strength after being hit 5 times, R5 vortex vanquisher giving 135% after getting hit 5 times.
just got my zhongli. idc if the burst animation is too long and dps loss or what cuz it is the coolest burst animation i ever had yet in my roster. got my first ganyu also her burst is also pretty
Got Zhongli way back on my birthday during his first banner and I just recently got back into genshin. As a Zhongli main and a f2p player this is really helpful 👍
this is so far the best Zhongli guide i have seen (i have seen a few and they are eh compared to this one) thank you for you're efforts i have a guaranteed next up and am hoping i am able to get enough to obtain my second Archon
I got ganyu and zhongli in my first try and I just have the perfect team (Ganyu, xiangling, benett and zhongli) and they have been carrying me as a f2p without any good artifact/weapons
Lol Geo Meatball had me cackling. Once again, Thanks for the clear and amazing teachings of how to use Geo Daddy... I really struggle with building teams and watching your videos has helped with that alot
Hell yes, I'll be bringing Zhong home (or at least trying to). My mono Geo team (DPS Noelle, Ning, Yun Jin and Geo CEO) will be finally be completed in the coming days.
Thank you, it was helpful to know more about my 2nd favorite character, as I started genshin late I missed his banners and I wish to get him in this rerun( I'm in 50/50😂 and 10 pity after I pulled for my favorite character Xiao), if unable to get I'll wait for his next rerun 😇
I've had him since his first release and managed to get him to C1 on his first rerun. Going for C2 now! He's amazing, easily my favorite character and he's nearly always on my team. Geo daddy simp for life. XD
Physical dps can also run a hp timepiece as to not sacrifice shield strength since it will still give damage due to zhongli's passive giving him attack based on hp, but it will sacrfice a bit of attack.
i literally just got him building his for support I see a very drastic change in my team, hes like a cheat code 10/10 recommenda esp for hu Tao mains like me
thank you so much for this video, this helps a lot! i’m really excited and hope i can get him. as for now i’m not sure whether to go with the 2pc tenacity + 2pc petra or 4pc tenacity so i’ll probably have to see what i like better if i can get him. great video 🙏🏼
5.3 pulling planned! Newish player / So excited as it’s his first banner I’ve been playing for. I have an amazing Furina Neuvilette team but I want a second team and my best dps is squishy so I need this shield!! Also I have a plan to play alllll those level 40 characters I enjoy the lore of but haven’t had resources to build. And to play them in the exploration / leylines etc. For fun & new ideas! With his shield to protect them I think I can test and play anyone overworld! Lynette & Freminet, time to play! Lastly I just got Xilonen & she is so fun both overworld and abyss so I’m thinking a Geo team with them both would be amazing. I might even go against the meta and play DPS Xilonen because her kick attacks are so cool and fun. Oh & Xilonen/Chiori C1 overworld is amazing as you can switch from skating to flying & then into Kinich and just cover the whole map in moments!! Only issue is when running into enemies Chiori goes into Kinich and he is always the one to die lol, so having Zhongli take the 4th slot will look after my boy when I’m not playing any meta team at all, just for the movement buffs! So much fun and ideas come from this wine lover. It’s kind of lore-funny to me as well to have two teams, one held up by Neuvilette & Furina - and the other with Zhongli! Haha :)
I will be building him as a shielder and then later as a burst spam if I get lucky with the artifacts >< I just finished prefarming for him today. I'm soooo excited I can't wait to have him on my team 🥺. Thank you for this guide sevy!!!! ❤️
I have been using zhong li for a really long time and personally i build him as an hybrid with hp sands geo dmg goblet and crit rate circlet 4p milelith set and a r1 staff of homa and he is around 37k hp but has really good offensive stats too and i really recommend building him as an hybrid since even if you stay around 35k hp the only place his shield can ever be broken is floor 12 of abyss but it

The pillar has some additional properties.
4. It generates mini shields when hitting other elements along with the particles.
5. If placed properly or the placement is utilized it can block incoming projectiles.
6. It can be used to keep certain abilities in place such as the anemo traveler's ult.
yessss. having him allows multiple kinds of shields depending on the enemy + elements on the enemy hehee
Geo Daddy's pillar + Anemo Traveler Ult = Budget Venti Ult

okay i was literally waiting for YOUR guide especially idk why but when u make guides about characters ur videos include almost everything that it is about the said character and u explain their mechanics very well too
I returned to this video because of the Zhongli 3.0 rerun. He will not escape me twice. Thanks for this, Sevy!
ive had zhongli since april and hes never left any team ive built. hes such a comfort character for me both story wise and gameplay wise
2:30 You're the first RUclipsr I've heard ever mention this...I would have never known otherwise. Thanks for providing valuable information in your videos 🙏🏿
I managed to get an R5 Crescent Pike and once I snag Yunjin from the next event, I'll finally have my perfect Physical DPS comp. Kicking the spear and seeing all those numbers pop up is simply priceless 👌🏻
How is his dmg ??
I picked Ninguang cause she is one of my favorite chars
@@aparnarai3708 Pretty good - about 7-8k per Normal Attack. But R5 Pike + Yun Jin is a lot of investment for a "pretty good" amount of damage, so I wouldn't recommend unless you really enjoy the playstyle.
finally a zhongli guide that at least mentions 4pc archaic petra. its such an undervalued set bonus in my opinion. it works wonders with a snapshotting pyronade
Absolutely agree. It makes him much more viable as a support on elemental teams
🌸😼It is to be a chance to fulfill one’s wildest Geo-Dreams and it is my hope that new Geo-Enthusiast acquire his star with few assets yielded😼🌸
To the new players in genshin, Zhongli will make you so buff. He can never die unless he doesn't have much defensing but although for care he can give shields, he can heal, sub dps, main, support, he's everything you literally need.
Heal?
@@maraisfan4life517 yess, at C6 he can heal
I just got zhongli (my first 5 star) and this guide really helped me...Thank you :D
Got him on his 1st rerun. One of my absolute fav. characters!
I’ve always run him in a hybrid build: Just over 30K HP, Milileth (x4), refine 5 Crescent Pike. Talents are at 9, 10, 10.
And he’s awesome! He and my C6 Noelle have neck-and-neck equal shielding ability (with him winning uptime, of course) so I always have 2 EXCELLENT, nearly unbeatable shielders to choose from.
And the both of them can dish out the punishment when needed as well!
Thank you for the guide Sevy!
I lost 50/50 to Mona when casually pulling for Klee's banner at the last minute (I didn't think I'd get 5* since it's my 4th 10 pull--usually I get one on my 7-8th) , so now I'm torn between pulling for Yoimiya or saving up for Zhongli.
I think I will save for Zhongli due to his functionality in facing multiple enemies, since that is the common situation in the game.
I'm also happy that at least before I lost, I managed to get Kazuha and he's been very helpful :D
Thanks for making a video with the different types of builds. I just got him and super excited to try these builds on him.
Your simping for Zhongli was so good I love it 😂 I saved up for both him and Ganyu (my most wanted characters) and plan to build him as a hybrid shield/burst dps because I want him on field!
I love your explanations! I’ve been playing for a bit less than 2 weeks and started streaming from the very beginning. And I got zhongli on my first pull and I just got Ganyu on my 5th. And your guides have been amazing!
Also need to mentioned that Within the 5 pulls for Ganyu and the 1 pull for Zhongli, I got c6 Xingqiu(1 pull was double Xing)
Zhongli's attack animation was the reason I got him, even though I wasn't even planning on getting him lol.
I'm not even into the male characters but ever since I've gotten him, he's my main & in almost every screenshots I take when exploring new areas.
Simp
So I didn't get him in the last rerun, but 3.0 one got him home 🥳 even at low levels he made my life SO MUCH EASIER, and this guide is wonderful! Will definitely use it
@SevyPlays Since you asked, I run a Burst Shielder Zhongli. Primary Focus on HP with R1 Staff of Homa. With his Passive Talent and Staff of Homa Effect, all of that HP makes his Damage Output skyrocket. And I've got his ER to an insane level so his Rock is almost always up and it does high damage. I can, basically, switch to Pure Burst Zhongli by swapping out Homa for my R5 Catch. I'll always have Rock and Rock's Damage becomes insane. With this build I can, conceivably, run Wavebreaker's Fin (which is also R5) instead of Catch without really harming Rock's uptime, depending on my Team Comp. I usually keep Homa on him though as I like to run him with Thoma who uses The Catch. Of course, when running Thoma without Zhongli, Homa goes on Thoma. Staff of Thoma engage!
Hii!
Much love from Sweden 🇸🇪
I really have to say this..
Sevy, you are the first streamer, in my eyes, that explain everything so plain and simple, that I understand what you are talking about right away! I don't know if it's a woman thing, but when some male streamer talk, at times I get confused and have more questions then answers 🙈🤣
I've only played Horizon zero dawn, before playing genshin. And it's a hole new language to learn when it comes to artifacts and aoe and sub, elemental bla bla bla...
I'm starting to understand it better and much of that is because I found your channel! ❤
You're the best!
😃
I'm so excited to try to pull him. I really want him for my Ningguang team. Thanks for the guide, it was really helpful! (Especially for lower AR members like me who switched to PC after leaving Genshin for a few years on the PS4. So thank you for thinking about us!)
🌸🌺It is an auspicious time for you Zhongli hopefuls and you are certainly to ascertain great yield from Zhongli’s upcoming banner!🌺🌸
ellin: how do i destroy these dummies at the same time
zhongli: *drops a meteor*
ellin: ohhhh thanks I''ll try that
Sevy!
This is by far the most comprehensive and informative Zhongli video out there! I'm a Zhongli main (idk why I watch his guides) but I like too anyways just to see what other people suggest, and it's SO rare for anyone to bring up his on field damage builds.
Expecting you to reach 100k subs soon with such quality videos!
Hey Sevy| First time I've watched one of your videos, and not only does it get extra points for being about Zhongli, but also you explain things so clearly and so beautifuly! A very heart felt thank you
I pulled for Zhongli with a guarantee and now, running around with him, when you said something along the lines of "be ready for his old man grunts" lives rent-free in my head. He is so much noisier than I was expecting lol Love your work; I follow a few Genshin RUclipsrs but you're the only one I actually feel like recommending since you're a vibe! Just your intro here shows you *get* it
I've been waiting for this guide because in past videos you mentioned you simped for Zhongli since the beginning, and I knew this would be super in depth and you did not disappoint LOL. I have been waiting for a Zhongli rerun since I started playing during Yomiya's banner. I WISH ALL ZHONGLI WANTERS TO SOON BE ZHONGLI HAVERS.
I started playing when his banner was on. Needless to say i didn't pull because i didnt have pulls nor did i understand anything about genshin yet. Soon he became my favourite character and im still waiting for a rerun 🤧🤣
Thank you for including low AR builds for artifacts, as a casual player I use artifacts I got from bosses or normal enemies.
Trying to get a suitable artifact with good sub stats is just too much for me.
i hope i get him tomorrow :3 i only managed to get enough fates to get me to soft pity (i'm guaranteed) but i'm a believer 😌 thanks sevy for the guide! his different playstyles makes me excited to get him.
I pulled for him today and got him on the first try with c1 beidou , my pity was 69, i'm so happy because I really wanted him , then I pulled on the weapons banner and got the primordial jade winged spear and surcose , this guide was really helpful because I suck at undersstanding how the builds work, thanks
I won the 50/50 on zhongli. Now i can put him with itto. Thanks for this guide!!
he makes the game much easier! since i got zhongli it really changed everything! that was the best starter option i did in 2.4 . you can clear everything quick bc you become... untouchable. with a 50k hp your shield is indestructible
till corrosion makes its way in
we have less than 24 hours for his banner 😭 im so ready for zhongdzaddy 😋
Now, this is the video I was waiting for. Thank you Sevy for delivering quality content as always.
I pulled him yesterday after tem pulls so I'm here now
YEHEY FINALLY, THANK YOU SO MUCH SEVY!! I wanted to comment on your previous videos but I was shy to ask when will you do an updated Zhongli guide, but it's finally here. Thank you definitely worth the wait!
I was looking for your Zhongli guide yesterday aaaaaa
I love your builds! You explain everything so good. I was lucky to get him finally and this build will help a lot.
This video is actually so good thank you for taking the time to make thus
I was waiting for this video. The best channel with the best guides in the whole Genshin content as always 👏🥳
Having 60k hp zhongli feels amazing also a crowned skill :)
Thank you so much for this guide and for your video the other day about why to get Zhongli! I'm a relatively new player and was able to get him as my first 5 star! I really appreciate that you gave options for low and mid-AR players for building him. Awesome vid!
I JUST PULLED HIM WEEEEE!!! Thank you for this informative guide!!!
Nice video and explanation, can't wait for tomorrow! I'm so excited! I already prefarm the material for zhongli.
i was waiting for this one when i saw you psted a ganyu vid. Thank you very muchh!
Immediately came here after i got him LMAO
I DIDNT THINK ID WIN THE 50/50 SO I DIDNT PREPARE FOR HIM
Got Zhongli, This was the 1st Banner I saw of Him, Got Him in the 1st 10 Pull. Feeling SOOOOOOO Blessed. My Games Changed Completely and I feel Not having him is Cheating.
Never thought I will have to see Zhongli Guide, Coz I had no hope of getting him this easy after getting Arataki and Xiao (All Bellow 50 Pitty).
Subscribed, like the way you break things down in a simple to grasp format. I dont have him yet, but will be aiming for him this time round....C0 obviously.
Who’s here after 4.0 livestream? Gonna start farming early for daddy Zhongli 😭🔥
Tysm for the guide. I was so confused with his artifact's and his weapons. But I think I will build him as a shielder.
Excellent guide with excellent visuals!
I already have him and build him. But I’m still gonna watch this guide. I might learn something new. Love your guides Sevy ♥️
2:54 it's not a ball ⚽ , its a bell given to him by a goddess who died during archon war.
Planning to do a hybrid burst bot-shield bot build for him to maximize his support potential!
Just wanted to say too, I really appreciate that your guides mention recommendations for low AR players. I've been playing Genshin for a little over a year now but for various reasons I can't play consistently and for very long so my AR is still low. When I want to build a character, I can't find guides that touch on low AR options and honestly it's kinda discouraging when everyone says low AR players shouldn't try to properly build characters yet. 😅 Anyway thank you so much the guide, it was very helpful! Looking forward to your future content!
Thank you for your videos @sevyplays - I really appreciate the way you explain things and am watching ALL of them haha! Even characters I don’t have to see if I want them!
You’re so calm & yet also funny & friendly. Perfect guide maker - thank you!!! 🙏🏻 ❤
PS :
Oh! And more videos about weapons would be amazing - I have got so many random weapons now, and I can’t watch every character video and remember the weapon lists lol - so videos on all types of weapons. Like an areas weapons. Or just swords etc etc - and who is best for them, how the passives actually work(!) more guides like that would be amazing!! I think people would enjoy that especially new players!
If you ever have time!! :)
Question for anyone who knows what to do:
My current mono-geo team is Noelle (C1), Albedo (C0), Gorou (C0), and Ningguang (C2). My main dps is Noelle, with Ningguang as a quick swap. My Ningguang is not super invested in, but she does a decent amount of damage (realitively) and generates quite a few particles so I can use my teams bursts more.
Here is my conundrum, with Zhongli coming as a banner again soon, I don't know if I should get him (C0) and replace Ningguang in my team. I know Zhongli does a decent amount of resistance shred while also having the best shield and a decent burst. However, I have also heard that he doesn't generate too many geo particles, which would prevent me from using my bursts more often, and I already have a good enough shield with Noelle.
My question is how much potential do I lose or gain by keeping Ningguang instead of switching out her with Zhongli in my geo team specifically? I know Zhongli has a lot of value for geo teams, but I am unsure how much exactly.
Thanks for reading this and God bless!
He is good for comfort. Will increase your damage (if you are dealing 10k, with his shield it will become 12k). Since you are also running a geo team, he will benefit more from geo resonance. You can build him with Crit rate then equip him with Favonius Lance to lighten your energy problems.
Overall though, he is not a must pull, but is a very big QoL comfort upgrade.
I dont know why but Sevy has some of the best genshin content and it inspires me to try do genshin conent making. Keep at it
You should! I’ll watch
i just started playing the game for a month and my first event banner pull i get Zhong-li !! it makes my game easier to play now. One of the reason why i started to love genshin. then i keep on saving primogems and now i have Raiden Shogun!! :)
What I did for Zhongli while soloing bosses as him is 2 piece mililith and 2 piece summer night, then everything is just hp, for weapons if you’re doing shield or high hp is black tassel for hp or vortex vanquisher for shield strength, add another geo and with this build you have lots of hp and 70% shield strength all the time, 95% shield strength after being hit 5 times, R5 vortex vanquisher giving 135% after getting hit 5 times.
I won my 50/50 with Zhongli and I have been having fun with him, tho I am struggling from climbing his pillar 😅
just got my zhongli. idc if the burst animation is too long and dps loss or what cuz it is the coolest burst animation i ever had yet in my roster. got my first ganyu also her burst is also pretty
Got Zhongli way back on my birthday during his first banner and I just recently got back into genshin. As a Zhongli main and a f2p player this is really helpful 👍
this is so far the best Zhongli guide i have seen (i have seen a few and they are eh compared to this one) thank you for you're efforts
i have a guaranteed next up and am hoping i am able to get enough to obtain my second Archon
I just found your videos today. Very informative and helpful. You’ve gained a new sub keep up the great videos.
I just got Zhongli for the first time from his 3rd rerun twice; now I'm on C2, so this vid is very helpful.
I got ganyu and zhongli in my first try and I just have the perfect team (Ganyu, xiangling, benett and zhongli) and they have been carrying me as a f2p without any good artifact/weapons
same just came back recently spent all my saved up primos got both already had the bennett hit sprial for xianling and i been riding the wave since
won my 50-50 and i am so happy
Lol Geo Meatball had me cackling. Once again, Thanks for the clear and amazing teachings of how to use Geo Daddy... I really struggle with building teams and watching your videos has helped with that alot
Hell yes, I'll be bringing Zhong home (or at least trying to). My mono Geo team (DPS Noelle, Ning, Yun Jin and Geo CEO) will be finally be completed in the coming days.
Thank you, it was helpful to know more about my 2nd favorite character, as I started genshin late I missed his banners and I wish to get him in this rerun( I'm in 50/50😂 and 10 pity after I pulled for my favorite character Xiao), if unable to get I'll wait for his next rerun 😇
Zhongli is so worthy pulling for. I use him as a shield and burst dps and I always have a cool last hit because of his burst
I've had him since his first release and managed to get him to C1 on his first rerun. Going for C2 now! He's amazing, easily my favorite character and he's nearly always on my team. Geo daddy simp for life. XD
Salamat Sevy! Vids are always on point! ♥️
i was so sad because i didn't get him TWICE but i heard that he will have a rerun in 3.0,, i was so excited and now i'm farming for him!
2023 after aug 16 he is coming back , i plan to use 160 wishes to get him for many of my teams 🔥
good guide, i like that it was illustrated
Physical dps can also run a hp timepiece as to not sacrifice shield strength since it will still give damage due to zhongli's passive giving him attack based on hp, but it will sacrfice a bit of attack.
i literally just got him building his for support I see a very drastic change in my team, hes like a cheat code 10/10 recommenda esp for hu Tao mains like me
watching this in 5.2: 😍
thank you so much for this video, this helps a lot! i’m really excited and hope i can get him. as for now i’m not sure whether to go with the 2pc tenacity + 2pc petra or 4pc tenacity so i’ll probably have to see what i like better if i can get him. great video 🙏🏼
5.3 pulling planned!
Newish player / So excited as it’s his first banner I’ve been playing for.
I have an amazing Furina Neuvilette team but I want a second team and my best dps is squishy so I need this shield!!
Also I have a plan to play alllll those level 40 characters I enjoy the lore of but haven’t had resources to build. And to play them in the exploration / leylines etc. For fun & new ideas! With his shield to protect them I think I can test and play anyone overworld! Lynette & Freminet, time to play!
Lastly I just got Xilonen & she is so fun both overworld and abyss so I’m thinking a Geo team with them both would be amazing. I might even go against the meta and play DPS Xilonen because her kick attacks are so cool and fun.
Oh & Xilonen/Chiori C1 overworld is amazing as you can switch from skating to flying & then into Kinich and just cover the whole map in moments!! Only issue is when running into enemies Chiori goes into Kinich and he is always the one to die lol, so having Zhongli take the 4th slot will look after my boy when I’m not playing any meta team at all, just for the movement buffs!
So much fun and ideas come from this wine lover.
It’s kind of lore-funny to me as well to have two teams, one held up by Neuvilette & Furina - and the other with Zhongli! Haha :)
Hopefully the rerun rumors are true. I want him. I need him.
I will be building him as a shielder and then later as a burst spam if I get lucky with the artifacts >< I just finished prefarming for him today. I'm soooo excited I can't wait to have him on my team 🥺. Thank you for this guide sevy!!!! ❤️
I have been using zhong li for a really long time and personally i build him as an hybrid with hp sands geo dmg goblet and crit rate circlet 4p milelith set and a r1 staff of homa and he is around 37k hp but has really good offensive stats too and i really recommend building him as an hybrid since even if you stay around 35k hp the only place his shield can ever be broken is floor 12 of abyss but it
