There are other shielders now aswell. he remains king of shields. but is he a necessity? not sure. I am planning to save primo's for Hu Tao and use Layla as het shielder for now,
I got him yesterday. He’s my second 5* after Mona, I’ve been playing for two months. I feel kinda blessed, although I do feel sorry for Childe slipping away from me like that cuz there’s no way I’m gonna be able to pull him as well as f2p.
Yoimiya probably needs a shield or high interruption resistance from teammates more-so than any other on-field DPS. She can't afford to reset her NA combo before the last shot, and said combo takes longer to complete than a Frostflake/Prop Arrow from Ganyu/Lyney. Xiao is the only character I can think of who absolutely needs the Jade Shield's 20-second duration. You could make an argument for Cyno too, but Baizhu is a much better fit for his teams.
@cybot1483 true but it depends what team you are playing. For example I play Hu Tao, yelan, xingqiu and layla now and I think zhongli is better there then Bennett and Kazuha
The elemental and physical resistances are different from defense so this video is kinda inaccurate to its claims. Nonetheless, Zhongli's shield is still the best aside to its main stats being unprecedented since it will automatically boost your damage to any enemy with such resistances due to the jade shield's ability to make your character ignore that 20 percent resistances mentioned but to be clear Zhongli is not literally someone who reduces enemy defense. Enemies' defense works similar to our characters' defense that lowers the damage that your hp receives which is another layer of innate protection/ damage mitigation. ALSO I WANT TO NOTE TOO HIS BURST SKILL'S DAMAGE POTENTIAL IS REALLY JUST DECENT AND NOT SO BIG AMOUNT OF DAMAGE. This is a result of his burst skill's stats still mainly base to pure attack with only a follow up passive just adding small bit of hp so building hp will make sense for the whole of his skillset. Its a clear downgrade compared to pure hp scaling characters like Yelan. The split scaling makes him not so powerful in doing damage. The meteor is just for you to either clear a small group of enemies' HP in one blow (makes sense to multiple enemies but just eats time if it didn't crit enough or you used it to a nonsense situation) or you need to make the enemies stop for awhile to have an opening for u to refresh your shield or do a certain movement in order to win the situation ASAP. As much as possible lower your hopes to him doing comparable damage as its a definite challenge set by the developers considering lesser importance characters needs something for them to be seen as worthy stars of the game. Constellations help for sure but lol he is just a support and supports are the best characters in the game no doubt.
So that's why I feel like this playing him, defence and resistance are two different things, I get it now, I have to understand how and when to use his burst (I just got him so I'm kinda new to this) thanks for the explanation
While the Rifthounds do counter shield characters, the latter isn't completely helpless. Zhongli's shield still shreds their resistances - no other shield does that. Shields still block all other damage, thus providing knockback immunity, even if the corrosion goes through. Certain shield characters that provide more than just a damage-sponge, such as Layla, are helpful against Rifthounds. Not only is Layla's shield a good runner-up against Zhongli, her cryo applications while shielded is invaluable for melt/freezing reactions. As the tried-and-true saying goes: "the sooner they die, the less damage you take."
Love him! Got C2 at his release. His Shield is so versatile. But honestly, i mostly use him with Ganyu melt or tighnari hyper. But i agree, Zhong li doesnt have Def shred. He reduces resistances.. Def is another multiplier...
Currently on the fence for zhongli, I've heard he's overrated but at the same time essential for my characters like hutao and ganyu. I like him as a character so needless to say this will be a tough decision.
Pull based on: 1) Primos remaining & pity status 2) If you can dodge, probably 4* shielders will do, technical/skill wise 3) If you love the character & understand the pros/cons, then do it He's for your lazy days exploring/dailies especially as a person myself with mobile skill issue. Newer/future character have higher chance of rerunning. Just hope they aren't pitted against cooler/stronger/unique character. Can also wait for next week 4.1 livestream update, just in case got a character you also liked.
@miniquest41 appreciated! Solid advice for sure. Im sitting on a guaranteed 5 star and could probably use him to free up kazuha. I do have layla and diona tho so I'll probably wait for 4.1. Thanks again
As a Eula main who loves to smash stuff into a greasy pulp with physical attacks, I need Zhongli too badly to go without. Definitely need him at at least C2, but with my limited budget the best I can swing this year is C0 and MAYBE his weapon.
i am also waiting for the live stream that will happen before the end of zhongli banner. Even tho i dont have any character which ACTUALLY NEEDS HIM ( like hutao, ganyu, wand, itto, etc) i will still wait for the live stream

I am commenting this without watching the video, I am gonna pull him regardless lol, still don't have him, haven't won a 5050 yet 😢, need Venti and Xiao as well
Ok I watched the video and I do have enough characters but I am still pulling him cause he also gives that res shred if we do decide to put him in the team
I've been wanting to get Zhongli for years now, I wasn't very interested in his 1st banner, I didn't get any 5* on his first rerun, I lost my 50/50 on his 2nd rerun and I skipped him for Cyno on his 3rd. Now I have him guaranteed because of Qiqi and I have a fully HP pre-build currently sitting on Yaoyao, with my Hu Tao vape me team waiting for him Good luck to everyone pulling!
@@Sou1lessFTP yesss I got very lucky this time, I was at like 30 pity and got him on my first 10wish and I got Mona (for the first fime since the beginning of the game) after 20 other wishes, now I got Focalors guaranteed!
i'm actually gonna pull for zhongli (basically) last minute now, i wanted to go for neuvillette or hu tao but zhongli is going to be the MOST usefull by far, i already got lyney and its gonna take a ton of time to get neuvillette's materials
I pulled him in 1.5 and was ecstatic. Don’t get me wrong, he still has his uses like in CA bow teams or against high DPS enemies in the abyss, but honestly healers do a lot more as they’re not typically geo and can contribute more than just a shield. RES shred is also nice but again sometimes doesn’t justify a team slot. I wouldn’t pull him today if I didn’t have him, knowing what I do now and having him for so long. ESPECIALLY when the hydro archon is right around the corner, as well as the Shogun who is more generalised.
If you wanna pull out of love for the character, you won’t be disappointed as he does have his uses. Plus, not to stereotype, but those who don’t care about meta and only pull for character are usually the people who need a shield in this game anyhow 😇
Started playing almost 2 months ago, pulled for Kokomi and c1 Yelan. I'd love to make a Yoimiya or HuTao team in the future, but the 4stars are just so bad in banner.. and I'm on a 50/50. Most likely will be a last moment decision for me to pull for him or not.
For Yoimiya, I would recommend you to pull for overworld and expect her to be extremely underwhelming in Abbys. She's litteraly worse than Venti because Venti can be used in single target situations by positioning his burst properly. Yoimiya however can't do anything against AoE
I don't need an overworld team, got Rosaria, Yelan c1 and double anemo. Plus I have only Liyue left to explore, all other regions are 100%. But you have a good point for Yoi in Abyss. Right now I'm finishing up the exploration and slowly building characters, can do 11-3 Abyss, but 12 is way too hard cuz it requires way more investment and characters than what I have. @@kawaiimika7974
For me, yes and no. Yes for collection. He's an archon so it would look good to have all archons. No, because he's more of a flex unit rather than a necessity. With Dendro and it's related reactions, I wouldn't really place Zhongli there. And also, IMO, he only provides shield and nothing else. Petrify can be achieved thru Freeze, 4pc Tenacity can be given to Kuki for Aggravate/Hyperbloom or other units.
Definitely a flex unit but not just a shielder. He has universal resistance shred, and 4pc petra is a more relevant consideration with how good lyney mono teams are (the buff is equivalent to a 900em kazuha) Also kinda weird u chose to single out how "bad" he is with dendro when there's a whole bunch of other teams he's a great pick for?
@@shironeko6164 in Lyney teams, I'd rather have Lynette for the passive buff, 4pc VV and Swirl. In Wanderer's team, he serves as a shield only to avoid interruption. In Hu Tao, same - as a shield as you wouldn't want a healer there. And I'd rather do a Hu Tao, Xiangling, Yelan, Xingqiu than add Zhongli. Ganyu melt also - Zhongli is there basically for shield. Seriously, Zhongli is just a quality of life flex shield unit. That's all.
@@tadano-kunn true there's definitely good zhongli-less variations of any team. Dodging does have a learning curve tho so if people feel like a shield can help while they slowly build that skill it can be a good enough reason to pull
@@shironeko6164 don't get me wrong. Zhongli is a great unit. But as more units are released, I'd rather experiment and use new ones than rely on the old.
is it worth it if i pull for zhongli? I already have kokomi and shes already a good healer for my team. I like the idea of having zhongli's shield but at the same time i still have kokomi. On top of that, i still want venti, ayato, and albedo.
if you want him go for it, imo if you already have a healer then he won't really be useful, He still has his uses but if you wanna save for other characters then save up for them, he's still great if you suck at dodging (like me) or if you just wanna attack without having to worry about getting interrupted, I'm getting him because I have klee as a main dps and since I'm always on fire his shield will be a great help since klee is pretty squishy, but like I said if you want him go for it he's pretty easy to level up and build 😃
Easy skip this banner if you want a decent investment with the 4 star too, none of them even synergize with the 5 star on the banner, let alone each other properly💀
This is the biggest stopper for me, too: they say there will be Noelle, Sayu and Freminet. None of those I want to specifically pull for. I can probably just save more for the hydro archon since I am on zero pity after pulling Kokomi.
@@stribijev same for me too, i am also on zero pity after getting kokomi bec i wanted to try freeze teams and i needed a healer for that. It sucks that 4 star on zhongli banner r not good. Thats why i will be waiting for the live stream to happen before making any decisons
@@BlankSama Yesterday, I decided to try my luck: spent 20 wishes (2x10 pulls) and got Tighnari. The game itself tells me I do not need him :) For a total F2P like me, I prefer to save for another archon, Furina or Raiden, whoever comes first. I have C5 Layla for shielding, I guess I will have to invest a bit more into her HP.
I'm 2 months old player. My main team now is Yelan - Xingqiu - Xiangling - Bennett. I'm also building Heizou for DPS. I have Diluc at level 80. I have Yanfei & Layla at level 1. In future I wish to make a Hyperbloom team with Nahida. Now I'm very confused if I should pull Zhongli or save for Furina or Raiden/Nahida later. Please advice
Zhongli is going to make your game super easy as you are new, you will be facing monstadt and liyue's enemies more often and those are no more than froggies in front of his shield. Imo, he is the best for new players. People who say, he is trash are basically endgame players who want a better support/buffer instead of him.
@@Sou1lessFTP thank you for your advice, I also feel the same way however my second feeling is that, I have crossed AR 50 and as F2P what if build Layla in case i need a shield and save for a more valuable char that can be helpful in reaction team as my future plan is to go for a good hyperbloom team or a freeze team. This is the dilemma I'm having now. I am really pissed with the 4 star chars accompanying him too
@@wizsat getting a character depends upon player account. A particular character can be good in a one account but at the same time its bad in different person account. So how do u know whether zhongli will be good for your account ? There r few things regarding this : 1. First just finish with the baisc reason - if u really really love a character OR if u r building your waifus or husbandos then just go for it 2. Mobile users - Idk if u have heard or not but zhongli is really really usefull if u r playing in a mobile. 3. Characters which actually needs zhongli- there r certain character which needs zhongli in order to perform even better. Like- hutao, ganyu, yoimia, wanderer, itto, charged bow character, etc REASON 1 & 2 ARE JUST BASIC , AND 3rd REASON IS THE MAIN ONE So just dont believe anyone who says that zhongli is a must pull or zhongli can be fit in any team. Yeah zhongli can be fit in any teams but a smart person/player would put a different character in his party as 4th slot which suits the team as MOSTLY teams works with 4 character Thats why i said if u have character like hutao, ganyu, yoimia, wand, itto, charge bow character, etc THEN ZHONGLI IS A PERFECT FIT IN THOSE TEAMS, rather then just putting him in any team
@@wizsat to bad, but atleast now u got your gurranted pity and u can use it on the character that u really really really want and make your account strong. May be save it for hydro archon or raiden if u dont have her etc GOOD LUCK
1:27 His burst is trash and you shouldn't use it. 1:42 you should be using fav and make him somewhat useful 2:12 It's not, it's going to break. The only build you should be going for is HP HP HP, Archaic Petra or Tenacity. 3:00 One of the few???? Faruzan, Beidou, Xingqiu, Chongyun, Shenhe, Rosaria, Xiangling and litteraly ALL OF THE ANEMO AND DENDRO CHARACTERS have this. And ofc Lisa and Razor who have def shred that isn't locked behind 5 star constalation. 3:10 No he isn't. His pillar can litteraly break on impact. Kokomi, Layla, C6 Faruzan, Kuki, Yao Yao, Dehya are way better users of this set. 5:28 He's a what?! 👁️o👁️ 5:50 Well by that standard we could also say that Dehya is the best support in the game 6:40 He doesn't, just use Dehya. That's what I do. And also Lyney's best team is Bennett, Xiangling, Kazuha for the best damage output so why pull a downgrade for him? He's not as mandatory there as he is for Ganyu
I would be but geo claymore is just so dull for a character with so much life in her animations and voice. Much prefer quick swap and all the different coloured reactions rather than dull yellow.
I'm excited for Navia too. Yeah, I really wish that she has some sort of ability that makes the "Crystallized" reaction more useful just like Nilou's Bountiful Cores. And about the Consultant of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, I just crowned his Jade recently. I always play him with his adopted son Xiao, my Main DPS.🛡👑🤴🏻🪨
Personally I’ve been playing this game for over a year without having Zhongli and I will continue doin so (unless Geo gets buffed), I don’t think he is a must pull since 1 shielder/healer per team is enough, and there are alot of good 4 stars
I honestly don't know how to even play this game without a shielder, I mean I just die instantly in coop if I DON'T use Zhongli. I don't know how everyone else survives! I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but at least I've got ole Zhong...
@@pennydr.311 I've heard she is but I haven't started building her up yet to know for sure. Luckily I pulled Zhongli's C2 with the fates I had so I can continue hoarding my primos. Good luck with whatever pulls you do!
Same, I lost 50/50 on Kokomi and I don't have a good healer, or even a strong main DPS. I pulled Zhongli and I'm very happy, there no need for a healer, the enemies are weaker now thanks to RES decrease. Fighting is so easy I recommend to get him.
I use only healers... I'm not a player of shield... But still if i can have him it'll be cool... But i cant.. Bcs i just got yelan... too tight banner schedules
guys im a new player like really new to genshin (level 37) i still dont understand many of these pls make it easier for me😭i dont have a 5* yet bc im contemplating who i should pull then i saw zhongli and i think he’s cool but idrk😭😭just say yes or no, is he worth it?
if u like shield , then yes but he’s not rlly a damage dealer like for killing enemies! soo if u want a dmg dealer then try to get childe! , zhongli is just for support role! He’s rlly decent if u play him w other 5* sadly so yea! I would recommend getting childe if u want a 5* now orr maybe get new character in new patch cuz neuvilette is ASLO rlly cool like zhongli!! design wise If ur into that , we havent seen his new kit yet but he might be a dps? so yea! ps: hydro is very versatile too , like u can electrocute enemies using a electro unit or melt by using a pyro unit!
@@황현진-i7c he will die to death cuz of childe's cd cuz i dont expect a lowly invested childe one shotting the enemy. Imo, he should go for hu tao or furina.
Don't pull him he is just an invincible shield depends on what you want in the future as dps like xiao ,wanderer ,ganyu etc benefits from his invincible shield .I recommend you get a dps character from Fontaine etc just wait awhile and look out for op power creep characters to come from Fontaine.
I think he is very good .. some characters need him and that's enough to give him value .. but as sup dps he sucks .. his burst is a waste of time .. building attack instead hp isn't worth it and if you don't have high crit and attack then his burst is a dps lost ..
You need Yelan if your lacking to hydro characters or requiring hydro characters in your desired team especially if its off field that u need. She excels on both on and off field anyway. Zhongli is there to make your dps be comfortable to do their thing especially if they r a hypercarry(DPS characters taking a long uptime to do on field damage/ attack) examples of these are Wanderer, Itto, Raiden (can be in right builds and teams), Eula, Xiao, Alhaitham and etc. Both have their own thing to buff their teammates but you could never go wrong choosing either of them. Just get what makes u happy and comfortable .
I agree with what the other person mentioned about 2 petra and 2 noblesse (for more damage on Zhongli) but to add on...4 piece Tenacity is better overall because it is easier to keep up it's consistency and it is good for the whole team due to the attack buff you also get increase shield strenght but Zhongli's shield is already strong. But 4 piece Archaic is good for a mono elemental team (as long as your enemies are not elemental, because you need to get the right element to crystalize). But if in the future we get more damage dealers that don't need the tenacity attack buff (due to scaling on HP, Def, etc) then Archaic would be better for them if you can get the right crystalize.
4 piece sets are better: - 4 piece Tenacity: good for dps and subdps teammates that benefits from ATK - 4 piece Petra: good for mono element teams - 4 piece Instructor: good for reaction teams (vape, melt, hyperbloom etc) 2 piece 2 piece doesn't contribute much for his teams.
@@Trippyricky69 i do agree that he is the best shielder, but labelling him as "one of the best supports" is kinda iffy considering the actual top tier supports like XQ, bennett, fischl, kokomi, sucrose, kaz, nahida, etc. which overshadow him outside teams like melt ganyu and hu tao vape. my main issue when people make vids about zhongli is when they think of him as a universal defensive option that can slot in every team even tho there are characters much better suited for flex slots (dodging is easy lol)
just don't risk it and get better prepared. be ready for the worst and hope for the best. I always make sure that even if I lose 50/50 I will have enough primos to get guaranteed character
Are you pulling for Zhongli?

He's the only geo character that I like to use soon.
I think he is a must pull if you play Hu Tao, Yoimiya, Tignari, Wanderer or Ganyu
That's what I'm thinking right now but what about the DPS loss for a yoimiya team? Like kazuha helps much more for cinque and yelan damage
Yoimiya probably needs a shield or high interruption resistance from teammates more-so than any other on-field DPS. She can't afford to reset her NA combo before the last shot, and said combo takes longer to complete than a Frostflake/Prop Arrow from Ganyu/Lyney.
Xiao is the only character I can think of who absolutely needs the Jade Shield's 20-second duration. You could make an argument for Cyno too, but Baizhu is a much better fit for his teams.

His shield is good, but thats about it...he is very boring. I dont use him anymore
Ofc bro he is just a shield bot, he is good at it, ofc he will be boring if that’s the only thing he is good at which none can do as well as he can
Started playing almost 2 months ago, pulled for Kokomi and c1 Yelan. I'd love to make a Yoimiya or HuTao team in the future, but the 4stars are just so bad in banner.. and I'm on a 50/50. Most likely will be a last moment decision for me to pull for him or not.
did you get her? shes coming first phase 4.1 if you didnt
For Yoimiya, I would recommend you to pull for overworld and expect her to be extremely underwhelming in Abbys. She's litteraly worse than Venti because Venti can be used in single target situations by positioning his burst properly. Yoimiya however can't do anything against AoE
I don't need an overworld team, got Rosaria, Yelan c1 and double anemo. Plus I have only Liyue left to explore, all other regions are 100%. But you have a good point for Yoi in Abyss. Right now I'm finishing up the exploration and slowly building characters, can do 11-3 Abyss, but 12 is way too hard cuz it requires way more investment and characters than what I have. @@kawaiimika7974
For me, yes and no. Yes for collection. He's an archon so it would look good to have all archons.
No, because he's more of a flex unit rather than a necessity. With Dendro and it's related reactions, I wouldn't really place Zhongli there. And also, IMO, he only provides shield and nothing else. Petrify can be achieved thru Freeze, 4pc Tenacity can be given to Kuki for Aggravate/Hyperbloom or other units.
Debating it for this yes reason myself, most of my best teams are already Dendro so I don’t have a huge reason to use him, but I do like him
Definitely a flex unit but not just a shielder. He has universal resistance shred, and 4pc petra is a more relevant consideration with how good lyney mono teams are (the buff is equivalent to a 900em kazuha)
Also kinda weird u chose to single out how "bad" he is with dendro when there's a whole bunch of other teams he's a great pick for?
@@shironeko6164 in Lyney teams, I'd rather have Lynette for the passive buff, 4pc VV and Swirl. In Wanderer's team, he serves as a shield only to avoid interruption. In Hu Tao, same - as a shield as you wouldn't want a healer there. And I'd rather do a Hu Tao, Xiangling, Yelan, Xingqiu than add Zhongli. Ganyu melt also - Zhongli is there basically for shield.
Seriously, Zhongli is just a quality of life flex shield unit. That's all.
@@tadano-kunn true there's definitely good zhongli-less variations of any team. Dodging does have a learning curve tho so if people feel like a shield can help while they slowly build that skill it can be a good enough reason to pull
@@shironeko6164 don't get me wrong. Zhongli is a great unit. But as more units are released, I'd rather experiment and use new ones than rely on the old.
4.0 abyss magu kenki feel like a joke when i get him, my ganyu just standing there menacingly
My 144 fates wating for him
black serpent knights are shield counters as well
is it worth it if i pull for zhongli? I already have kokomi and shes already a good healer for my team. I like the idea of having zhongli's shield but at the same time i still have kokomi. On top of that, i still want venti, ayato, and albedo.
if you want him go for it, imo if you already have a healer then he won't really be useful, He still has his uses but if you wanna save for other characters then save up for them, he's still great if you suck at dodging (like me) or if you just wanna attack without having to worry about getting interrupted, I'm getting him because I have klee as a main dps and since I'm always on fire his shield will be a great help since klee is pretty squishy, but like I said if you want him go for it he's pretty easy to level up and build 😃
I only use him to mine with Yelan.
Abyss? Not really... his burst is slow and weak 🥲 but I still double crowned him and gave him Houma...
Easy skip this banner if you want a decent investment with the 4 star too, none of them even synergize with the 5 star on the banner, let alone each other properly💀
This is the biggest stopper for me, too: they say there will be Noelle, Sayu and Freminet. None of those I want to specifically pull for. I can probably just save more for the hydro archon since I am on zero pity after pulling Kokomi.
@@stribijevsame problem... Unfortunate, I really wanted Zhongli... But mostly bcs of his story and looks. So I don't need him that bad.
@@stribijev same for me too, i am also on zero pity after getting kokomi bec i wanted to try freeze teams and i needed a healer for that.
It sucks that 4 star on zhongli banner r not good.
Thats why i will be waiting for the live stream to happen before making any decisons
@@BlankSama Yesterday, I decided to try my luck: spent 20 wishes (2x10 pulls) and got Tighnari. The game itself tells me I do not need him :) For a total F2P like me, I prefer to save for another archon, Furina or Raiden, whoever comes first. I have C5 Layla for shielding, I guess I will have to invest a bit more into her HP.
IN SHORT : YESS 10000000%
I'm 2 months old player. My main team now is Yelan - Xingqiu - Xiangling - Bennett. I'm also building Heizou for DPS. I have Diluc at level 80. I have Yanfei & Layla at level 1.
In future I wish to make a Hyperbloom team with Nahida. Now I'm very confused if I should pull Zhongli or save for Furina or Raiden/Nahida later. Please advice
Zhongli is going to make your game super easy as you are new, you will be facing monstadt and liyue's enemies more often and those are no more than froggies in front of his shield.
Imo, he is the best for new players. People who say, he is trash are basically endgame players who want a better support/buffer instead of him.
@@Sou1lessFTP thank you for your advice, I also feel the same way however my second feeling is that, I have crossed AR 50 and as F2P what if build Layla in case i need a shield and save for a more valuable char that can be helpful in reaction team as my future plan is to go for a good hyperbloom team or a freeze team. This is the dilemma I'm having now. I am really pissed with the 4 star chars accompanying him too
@@wizsat getting a character depends upon player account. A particular character can be good in a one account but at the same time its bad in different person account.
So how do u know whether zhongli will be good for your account ? There r few things regarding this :
1. First just finish with the baisc reason - if u really really love a character OR if u r building your waifus or husbandos then just go for it
2. Mobile users - Idk if u have heard or not but zhongli is really really usefull if u r playing in a mobile.
3. Characters which actually needs zhongli- there r certain character which needs zhongli in order to perform even better. Like- hutao, ganyu, yoimia, wanderer, itto, charged bow character, etc
REASON 1 & 2 ARE JUST BASIC , AND 3rd REASON IS THE MAIN ONE
So just dont believe anyone who says that zhongli is a must pull or zhongli can be fit in any team.
Yeah zhongli can be fit in any teams but a smart person/player would put a different character in his party as 4th slot which suits the team as MOSTLY teams works with 4 character
Thats why i said if u have character like hutao, ganyu, yoimia, wand, itto, charge bow character, etc THEN ZHONGLI IS A PERFECT FIT IN THOSE TEAMS, rather then just putting him in any team
@@BlankSama Thank you for your advice. I decided to pull Zhongli and lost in 50/50 too bad 😔
@@wizsat to bad, but atleast now u got your gurranted pity and u can use it on the character that u really really really want and make your account strong. May be save it for hydro archon or raiden if u dont have her etc GOOD LUCK
3:33 nice👍 he ate 150 wishes until i got him at c0 😭 at least got c6 noelle and freminet, c2 sayu, c1 keqing🌧
My metaslut brain is telling me to not pull for him, but my body long for the comfy gameplay his kit provide
Drip+comfort> non existent meta in a PvE game
1:27 His burst is trash and you shouldn't use it.
1:42 you should be using fav and make him somewhat useful
2:12 It's not, it's going to break. The only build you should be going for is HP HP HP, Archaic Petra or Tenacity.
3:00 One of the few???? Faruzan, Beidou, Xingqiu, Chongyun, Shenhe, Rosaria, Xiangling and litteraly ALL OF THE ANEMO AND DENDRO CHARACTERS have this. And ofc Lisa and Razor who have def shred that isn't locked behind 5 star constalation.
3:10 No he isn't. His pillar can litteraly break on impact. Kokomi, Layla, C6 Faruzan, Kuki, Yao Yao, Dehya are way better users of this set.
5:28 He's a what?! 👁️o👁️
5:50 Well by that standard we could also say that Dehya is the best support in the game
6:40 He doesn't, just use Dehya. That's what I do. And also Lyney's best team is Bennett, Xiangling, Kazuha for the best damage output so why pull a downgrade for him? He's not as mandatory there as he is for Ganyu
You talk too much ,and you know shit
Why u mad tho
9:17 to the point where I'm saving primos only for her now, lol. Anyone else?
I would be but geo claymore is just so dull for a character with so much life in her animations and voice. Much prefer quick swap and all the different coloured reactions rather than dull yellow.
I'm excited for Navia too. Yeah, I really wish that she has some sort of ability that makes the "Crystallized" reaction more useful just like Nilou's Bountiful Cores. And about the Consultant of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, I just crowned his Jade recently. I always play him with his adopted son Xiao, my Main DPS.🛡👑🤴🏻🪨
Do you know when Kokomi is getting her rerun again??
I’m guaranteed at 58 pity and only 42 saved so sorry zhongli but the hydro archon is my top priority right now next time
Personally I’ve been playing this game for over a year without having Zhongli and I will continue doin so (unless Geo gets buffed), I don’t think he is a must pull since 1 shielder/healer per team is enough, and there are alot of good 4 stars
I honestly don't know how to even play this game without a shielder, I mean I just die instantly in coop if I DON'T use Zhongli. I don't know how everyone else survives!
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but at least I've got ole Zhong...
same bro i dont have zhongli but my yoimiya be getting her ass kicked shes my glass cannon @@sorshamooncake
@@illuzio9142 Layla is a good option if u don’t want to pull for zhongli, I usually run Layla, Bennet and Yelan with my yoimiya and shes doing good
@@Kai-L359 yeah I just want zhongli for his burst I don’t play for like damage or whatever just if I find the character cool
@@sorshamooncakeuse layla?
Okay here we go!!!!
3:30 Yes Zhongli is worth pulling
I'l just get him to C1 then save up for the hydro archon.
why? c1 isn’t very good
@@lewisthellama2569 2 kitkats? worth it!
@@lewisthellama2569 maybe cause they f2p and they can get c2 in the next patch
8:54 dude forgot about kirara💔
At 70pity,. He'll come home.. i have 105Fates for him, hoping to get him sooner to save my fates for C2 Raiden and her weapon..
I really want the rest of his cons but...Neuvillette...
Exactly my thoughts and Layla is good alternative, right?
@@pennydr.311 I've heard she is but I haven't started building her up yet to know for sure. Luckily I pulled Zhongli's C2 with the fates I had so I can continue hoarding my primos. Good luck with whatever pulls you do!
3:33 huh! hahah
I am on 75 pity, my 5 star is guaranteed im stuck in samsara not sure if i should pull zhongli or not. So Infinite YT videos work.
Adventure level 34, my team is zhongli, mc geo, bennet and mona
Skyward spine or favonious lance?
I'm in ar30 just started the game I'm lacking in healer. I missed the kokomi.
Should i pull zhongli . I've wanderer as main dps . Is he good for him
Same, I lost 50/50 on Kokomi and I don't have a good healer, or even a strong main DPS. I pulled Zhongli and I'm very happy, there no need for a healer, the enemies are weaker now thanks to RES decrease. Fighting is so easy I recommend to get him.
"Still"? Like they've released any shielders half as good at all?
3:35 very funny
Answer is yes
I use only healers... I'm not a player of shield... But still if i can have him it'll be cool... But i cant.. Bcs i just got yelan... too tight banner schedules
What was Zonghli trying to do with Tiantian💀
Yes C3 let's goooo
im not even invested in my account most of characters have 4star or no artifacts even tho im ar 55 im probably pulling him to get the abyss stars
Child worth it video sir 😃
When is the banner coming
guys im a new player like really new to genshin (level 37) i still dont understand many of these pls make it easier for me😭i dont have a 5* yet bc im contemplating who i should pull then i saw zhongli and i think he’s cool but idrk😭😭just say yes or no, is he worth it?
if u like shield , then yes but he’s not rlly a damage dealer like for killing enemies! soo if u want a dmg dealer then try to get childe! , zhongli is just for support role! He’s rlly decent if u play him w other 5* sadly so yea! I would recommend getting childe if u want a 5* now orr maybe get new character in new patch cuz neuvilette is ASLO rlly cool like zhongli!! design wise If ur into that , we havent seen his new kit yet but he might be a dps? so yea!
ps: hydro is very versatile too , like u can electrocute enemies using a electro unit or melt by using a pyro unit!
@@황현진-i7c he will die to death cuz of childe's cd cuz i dont expect a lowly invested childe one shotting the enemy. Imo, he should go for hu tao or furina.
Don't pull him he is just an invincible shield depends on what you want in the future as dps like xiao ,wanderer ,ganyu etc benefits from his invincible shield .I recommend you get a dps character from Fontaine etc just wait awhile and look out for op power creep characters to come from Fontaine.
I think he is very good .. some characters need him and that's enough to give him value .. but as sup dps he sucks .. his burst is a waste of time .. building attack instead hp isn't worth it and if you don't have high crit and attack then his burst is a dps lost ..
3:32 🌝
When’s venti returning
yoo lets go big dong zhong
imma pull him for my arle team
I am confused I got yelan and should I go for zhongli.?
You need Yelan if your lacking to hydro characters or requiring hydro characters in your desired team especially if its off field that u need. She excels on both on and off field anyway. Zhongli is there to make your dps be comfortable to do their thing especially if they r a hypercarry(DPS characters taking a long uptime to do on field damage/ attack) examples of these are Wanderer, Itto, Raiden (can be in right builds and teams), Eula, Xiao, Alhaitham and etc. Both have their own thing to buff their teammates but you could never go wrong choosing either of them. Just get what makes u happy and comfortable .
@@capybaravangogh7427 I am building yelan as dps
Spent 63 wish wasnt able to get it Oof
Yes
3:32 Sus 🙀😹
I got guarantee zhongli but in 8pulls .....
possibly the best 5 star in the game…🗿
Zhongli is still amazing and I do not agree with any comments against that xP.
Can i get early pity him
The game has been so easy that I never felt the need to use him. Always thought it'd be nice to have him tho so idk
Poor dehya
Zhongli was my first 5* and I speedruned the game
Can i use 2 piece tenacity and 2 piece archaic petra?
If you want to go Petra, just use. 2 Petra 2 Noblesse. Since you can get the hp% on artifacts but you can’t get the Burst Dmg bonus.
I agree with what the other person mentioned about 2 petra and 2 noblesse (for more damage on Zhongli) but to add on...4 piece Tenacity is better overall because it is easier to keep up it's consistency and it is good for the whole team due to the attack buff you also get increase shield strenght but Zhongli's shield is already strong. But 4 piece Archaic is good for a mono elemental team (as long as your enemies are not elemental, because you need to get the right element to crystalize). But if in the future we get more damage dealers that don't need the tenacity attack buff (due to scaling on HP, Def, etc) then Archaic would be better for them if you can get the right crystalize.
4 piece sets are better:
- 4 piece Tenacity: good for dps and subdps teammates that benefits from ATK
- 4 piece Petra: good for mono element teams
- 4 piece Instructor: good for reaction teams (vape, melt, hyperbloom etc)
2 piece 2 piece doesn't contribute much for his teams.

@@Trippyricky69 i do agree that he is the best shielder, but labelling him as "one of the best supports" is kinda iffy considering the actual top tier supports like XQ, bennett, fischl, kokomi, sucrose, kaz, nahida, etc. which overshadow him outside teams like melt ganyu and hu tao vape. my main issue when people make vids about zhongli is when they think of him as a universal defensive option that can slot in every team even tho there are characters much better suited for flex slots (dodging is easy lol)
