Just a clarification i am not glazing lanyan in this one
Is LanYan C2 shield everlasting using NAs?
For people wondering. Lanyans burst snapshots meaning in bennet teams she will prob be about 30-50% stronger
I’m sad cuz I wished for zhongli and it costed me 80 pulls when I was saving for Arlecchino… now you’re telling me I WISHED FOR HIM TO LOSE FIRST PLACE IN SHIELDING?😭😭
in real world scenario with multiple enemies and multiple elements zhongli is op, remember zhongli's shield uptime and res shred
Use trio of them and Mavuika and fight trio Fatui
She’s only situationally has a stronger shield than Zhongli and doesn’t offer universal shred so he’s still overall better but it’s crazy they allowed a 4 star to have a better shield than him at all.
I think people are hyping this up too much, specially her c2, saying Zhongli powercreep. Zhongli wins in the eas of use alone. Applying the same element to the enemies, then swirling it to absorb, that's quite some steps. Imagine the enemy deals hydro dmg, surely you're not gonna fight it with hydro characters. Unless the enemy self infuses itslef with hydro, you can't get a hydro shield.
Now, if she can absorb the same element as the enemy, then sure. She can provide a stronger shield.
Lan Yan God❤❤❤
Sayu?
Yanlan C2 and C6 theoretically make her the "ultimate" shielder, especially against enemies of a specific element. However, this is only in theory. In practice, her shield has a 16-second cooldown and a 12-second duration without C6. While a second charge can, in theory, provide indefinite shielding, this doesn’t always translate to real-world performance. Yanlan's shield absorption may surpass Zhongli's in theory, but absorption alone isn't everything.
Zhongli's 100% uptime and consistent absorption, regardless of element, still make him the best comfort shielder in practice.
As a C6 Zhongli main, it pains me to see a 4-star character potentially outshine him. However, Zhongli's versatility allows him to fit into any team, while Yanlan's offensive shield is best suited for normal attack DPS teams. While most teams in Genshin rely on normal attack DPS (around 90%), Yanlan C6 is competitive with C0 Zhongli. That said, Yanlan at C0 or even C2 isn't close to being a rival to Zhongli.
To sum up:
C6 Yanlan = Best for active teams focused on normal attacks
C0 Zhongli = Universal and fits any team
Has anyone tested how tough Lanyan's shield is to opposite elements? Because I think Zhongli still wins by a large amount imo.
It's crazy that we still don't have shield bar or buff indicators… It's been four years.. Is there a technical issues or something?
The god of shielding still at the top. WIth his 100% upkeep insanely durable 250% effective against anything 20% res shredding WALL. Tho lanyan is indeed very nice into self infusing enemies or in teams where a second anemo would fit, also she buffs em a little at c4 so there's a thing to consider, most ppl will also run her with vv. She would be actually insane if her shield scaled with EM instead of atk, but no such luxury atm
Zhongli :
> 150% shield absorption of DMG of all elements
> 20% RES shred of all elements
Lan Yan :
> 250% absorption of DMG of Pyro/Hydro/Electro/Cryo absorbed
> 40% RES shred of Pyro/Hydro/Electro/Cryo with Viridescent Venerer artefact
**Lan Yan is a good replacement for Zhongli in the case you play DPS with P/H/E/C elements by shredding opp's P/H/E/C RES. However though, Zhongli can also shred Anemo, Geo, Dendro, and Physical RES unlike her.
In terms of shield strength, Lan Yan's shield can't match Zhongli's universally because Zhongli's shield has higher absorption rate than Lan Yan's when it comes to take Anemo, Dendro, Geo and Physical DMG. Even when absorbing P/H/E/C DMG, there is a need for Lan Yan to absorb element matching opp's type of elemental attack.
The whole point of Lanyan is role consolidation for VV and shielding, and in abyss if an enemy self-infuses an element for her to swirl, they will have very high resistances to their innate element, making the vv shred pointless, and if your main dps is the same element as the enemy, you couldn't be doing things more wrong.
If you want more damage (abyss is still only a dps check) then you will swirl your dps element, not the enemy's aura, making the shield much less effective (save for C2).
Zhongli still wins by a mile, I'm questioning if those glazing in the comments know how this game's combat works at all.
Wow look at the comments. So many people are heated over miniscule things. Can't you just think of Lan Yan's arrival a blessing for Zhongli havers and non havers coz now we have really strong shielders on both our abyss teams? Zhongli on team 1 and Lan Yan on the second. And if you don't have Zhongli, congrats you have Lan Yan.
Oh you need to hold lanyan skill and aim it at enemy to get strong shield?
Best of luck to the people who pulled citlali only for shield.
Congratulations to the people who pulled citlali for cryo applicator and Pyro/hydro buffer.
I have c4 lan yan..nd i don't have zhongli..until than i'm gonna make her shielder+res shred+ crowd ctrl…
What about Layla? She's still the second best shielder in the game.
zhongli is still and will always be my main. he carried me for years since his second run.
I think this open new way to play. I have C2 Zhongli but his Geo hardly give any further effect on damage (except his passive which reduce 20% res.) now having Lan Yan I can swirl which affect damage further.
song name?
C2 lanyan can challenge Zhongli
Try comparing Zhongli with 2p Tenacity and 2p Vourukasha to the set you're using on Lan Yan. 2p Vourukasha's Glow gives him more HP, which will help his shields.
Is lanyan good with arlechino?
they really hate men that badly 💀
When fighting geo or dendro, zhongli shield is still best.
When fighting enemies with P/H/E/C element, elemental shield of same element is strong.
In this case -lanyan.
Strongest shield of history VS strongest shields of today.
so you mean Citlali's main role is not shielder
Let's do a second test, and try actually stacking HP on zhongli. his is the strongest if you know what you're doing.
If you have Citlali's weapon on your account, C2 Lan Yan can become a monstrous buffer + shielder. I got C0 Lan Yan when I pulled, unfortunately, my pity is at 70 now. I guess I am only getting C1 Lan Yan this patch.
why is everyone crying lmao, its not that serious
Fly or die omfg
I have lan yan c3, she's shield strong? Ya strongest 4star shield?
zhongli's shield is still most universal and versatile while lan yan's shield is stronger against same element that she absorbed otherwise it is pretty decent but not as good as zhongli but bettre than all other shielders like layla
Lanyan shield is best at c2
Layla is the best shield
Wtf I don't have zhongli but it still pissed me off that damn 4 star is powercreeping him.
Citali shield sucks 🙃
Citlali shield isn't even stronger than Layla's, her main strength is in her buff
The best shielder is the one that has a strong shield, no shield up time and don’t need to constantly switch to shield character and refresh shield. Lan yan is not bad but she needs to refresh her shield , unless you build her as dps then she refreshes her shield while normal attacking.
Que utilidad tiene ahora zhongli si han puesto un anemo de 4 estrellas con mejor escudo que es catalizador puede bajar resistencia dar buffo de ataque con el arma dar escudo etc 😅
I have Zhongli with 53K-54K HP, but 59K? Now I WISH I can find artifacts with more health.
I was hoping to see her c2 in action
How to activate absorption?
you know,the game wants to players to pull for new characters,other wise they can release new artifact set and make the older charcters useful as much as new characters,thats simple.
120fps?????????????
Btw yall, Lanyan might have tankier shield than zhongli AFTER ABSORPTION , but if you see the duration and CD, she has around 4s of downtime. So in terms of uptime, Zhongli and Citlali is still better. But Lanyan can have tankier shield
