This guy saying literally shit, don't listen to him. Zhongli is a must pull if you have certain characters, like hutao, who you need to keep their HP low as possible. And non of the other shielders can compete with zhongli. I have Layla with a 5* HP % sword and a full hp% build. She's shit compared to zhongli.
Bran just hate zhongli that's all.
I wanted to pull for Zhongli but then, mihoyo comes out with Mavuika banner and…"It's saving time"
Why I’m pulling for him-
-I don’t have him
-Xiao need his friend
-He’s hot
Honestly i dont think theres a single must pull character other than Neuvillette:/
The main reason i still like zhongli because he provides the comfort like you have 100% uptime and 20 secs cooldown for it to be lift off. Tbh these days i dont care about freeze, melt reactions because when you have charecters like Neuvillette and arlecchino, its raw damage is more than enough for me to complete the abyss BUT Yea I agree with the must pull part that it aint any must pull..if you feel u want comfort dealing spiral abyss or any other stuff then i recommend zhongli.
Layla my queen, been using her since I got her, never broke her shield, works very well with Neuvillette too. 😄
People seem to have the misconception on Baizhu being a shielder when he’s really not.
His main role is being a healer, however the shield is just an added bonus to present staggering.
It’s like a master chef who just so happens to know a little bit of bartending. It’s just a little added bonus on top of what they can already do but it isn’t the main thing they can do
Zhongli is a must pull for mobile players
I swapped out Zhongli on my Ganyu team for Layla cause l wanna utilize Lyney's signature for Ganyu so l needed the extra cryo unit
I'd still get him for collection purposes, but the timing is really poor, just like the amount of wishes I have for Mav.
Yeah that’s your opinion. Zhongli is still one of if not the best shielders in Genshin and he is hardly outdated.
I'm sorry, Bran, but no other shielder makes me feel as safe and relieved during battles. On the account where I don't have him yet, I feel so… unprotected. In more difficult fights where I can't dodge, I always think "Man… A Zhongli would have been so good in here"
Edit: Zhongli is overated. The love is too forced. He is not a must have AT ALL.
Mobile player here for over 3 years.
Never needed a shielder.
Last time I used a shielder was Baizhu (more like res to Interruption or crystallize-like shield) or when I was farming friendship exp for Layla.
Shielder really aren't even needed.
All you do is dodge aka just tap sprint.
I mean opinions exist but in my opinion…. Zhongli is super boring and his hold skill takes so long. 12% res shred is nothing. Why waste a spot when I can use someone like Xilonen or any other support or sub dps instead
I love Zhongli endlessly but not for the shield. I used to have skill issues, now many new characters arrived to the game and they dont have ZL as part of best teams. But the ores…. oh man no one can replace him for 4 years already in overworld when it comes to braking stones and i cant just pass by 😂😂😂
But zhongli is hot so
True. I only use Zhongli for when I’m trying to survive. But otherwise, I have built everyone in your A tier—Thoma, Layla, and Kirara (still working on Diona) and they’re great and can still give me elemental reactions!
My c6 zhongli will never be replaced!
Get zhongli if you like his character, play style and need more shield characters.
Personally i really like him ! Hes like kokomi to me. Ive head them for a really long time , no they aren't the top healers/shielders anymore but they are old reliables and would do great in different teams.
I would say if you like zhongli and dont have alot of other 4 star shielders GET HiM ! Dont worry tooo much about meta and even with meta into account, hes still pretty good.
HUGE NOTE * i would not pull for him in these recent banners 💀 he isnt as worth it compared to neuvillette, arlecchino 💀 but if you have all of them and dont need more sure get him
Zhongli's shields are pretty solid… until World Level 9, then it does jack shit and becomes more fragile than Madame Ping's spine.
If only geo wasnt “inert”
Nah, I highly disagree. As long as Zhongli has the strongest shield, he isn’t outdated. It’s kinda stupid to say that tbh when ppl are clearly still using him a lot in spiral abyss. To me he’s a life saver and a must pull to this day.
You pull for zhongli for the shield
I pull for zhongli because i want all the archons, we're not the same
short answer of course he is, are you type of player who hates dodging get him,layla is an option too but lets be real getting zhongli is a lot easier than getting a non banner 4 star(in terms of strongest shielder). zhongli is just too versitile to let go put him in any team itll work.
other than that if your a lore/casual player hes perfect for that too.just pop your shield and do your usual shmik.another thing is hes f2p friendly once you get hes c0 is enough to carry your team for years
Tbh no offence I don’t give a shit zhongli is my fav character in the game and lost 50/50 to the worse standard banner keqing shes shit then traveller my opinion and zhongli isn’t a skill issue if it is then u wouldn’t need to grind for him and artifacts and GETTING HIM ISNT EASY so it is not a skill issue and people that don’t have great units I.e me who is a xiao main oh lookie here zhongli hosted for xiao layler dosent compare and zhongli can do shield in coop
Zhongli is amazing as a generalist. Sure he doesn't have a team where he's the best shielder, but he's 2nd best in pretty much every team that wants a shielder. That on top of having the highest HP shield in the game makes him VERY comfortable. Also, Zhongli is a lot easier to build than a character like Leyla or Kirara or Baizhu because they cant use Black Tassel
I don't think Zhongli is outdated rather they just made most enmies(Bosses) immiune to his petfication which mind you would be quite huge for sett up or getting breathing room for example get time to eat food or heal supporting cast like kuki for example or kazuha if they want him to be uncriped just make his petfication work on enmies regardless if they are boss or not
Bran: you shouldn't use Xilonen with another GEO character, ugh
Navia: *exists*
Yeah but oh I'm excited for 5.3
idk zhongli still has value that archajc petra 35% dmg bonus and res shred is still amazing pair it with kachina c1 you can easily get those shards easily and kachina can equip with the new set that provide 40% dmg bonus and you get a nice 75%dmg bonus and a 20% res shred
I have zhong li since the first run, and dont use him for about almost 2 years, cause he doesnt have much benefits, only comfortable gameplay
Zhongli is a peak comfort character. Kazuha is my go to comfort character though
, he's just so absurdly fun to play
Most people think Venti and Zhongli outdated (og Archons lol) which makes sense cuz they were made when Hoyo was inventing two cents on Genshin characters. YET, their gameplay to me is still the best and the same thing for a lot of old characters, they're so good and efficient. I also find the new ones are so over, they're good for exploring but the Abyss and Theater need old characters type of strength and gameplay.
Me personally, I love Layla shield because she's cryo and uhh Zhongli….I don't even use him in any of my main team because of how fast the enemy dies
For those who don't wanna care to dodge, Zhongli is the only solution.
But this will eventually backfired for those who are too comfortable with his shield later.
Zhongli is still a very good pull imo. "Doesn't have as much to give as other shielders" implies that the SHIELD aspect isn't important to you. In my main party I've had Zhongli since I pulled him, every other character has changed throughout the years, but not him, because the quality of life he provides is insane, not counting that he is still very good for things like abyss due to how flexible he is, he's great for characters who need interruption resist and has the added bonus of minor res shred and forgoes a healer. I still 36* with him every cycle
Zhongli can petrify enemy too ( not all enemy tho) y always talking about shield ( best shielder tho)
Zhongli was and still is just a skill issue character. like, people pulled for him cuz they either loved him or loved the easy mode he brought to the game "which was already easy enough to begin with"
as someone with major skill issues, zhongli's a must pull for me. then again its just me with skill issues
I still think Zhongli is the best Shielder till to this day. It's funny that he wasn't that good on his release until they directly buff him and became too good 😅
Im here for the indirect Thoma shout out (english is hard but i get what I mean)
Still pulling 😂 I'm not gonna use him tho. I just want him. I like my layla and xilonen
I've built and used every shield character (aside Baizhu) and can honestly say that Zhongli is my most comfortable shielder. I pull him out when I'm lazy or when I want to look at an enemy up close. No worries, no extra effects, just a wall between me and whatever is hitting the shield
53k hp, 60k in hydro ress for when im feeling fancy
oh i heavily disagree with this, mostly because zhongli’s shield has a longer duration and more than 100% uptime, making it a lot more fit for longer rotations. he can also be a pretty damn good sub dps with his burst, which also petrifies quite a lot of enemies. he provides so much utility and comfort to the gameplay that it easily beats elemental resonance in most cases in my personal opinion, even over other shielders that provide the optimal resonance. like sorry, but if i want to have a shielded alhaitham i am Not using baizhu lmao
If you want ur game significantly easier, pull zhongli.
If u cant n wanna use alternatives u can use the others ig, but the strength of the shield and the duration of it still doesnt compare to zhongli. Regardless of other people's opinion, no. I dont think zhongli is outdated. He's very new player friendly and if you dont care abt meta n just casually playing the game, he helps u a lot.
My opinions are based on myself as a casual player and I myself would put zhongli in a team when I dont wanna try to dodge or when my team is alr low n I couldnt be bothered to heal them. No dodge = skill issue? Sorry I cant hear you from my intense tapping on my mobile.
Me who sucks at the game and pulls because they look cool: hehe silly old man
you don't need a healer or a shielder, just dodge better. but jokes aside, don't forget that in addition to a strong shield, there is also the opportunity to conveniently implement geo resonance and archaic petra + res shred. some characters can benefit from this. he can also easily demolish geo shields on enemies. the shield also allows you to attack without fear of the stagger, which directly increases your damage. it all depends on the team you use. i don't agree that he is outdated, but i also don't think that everyone needs him
Honestly, the 2 shields I use the most currently are Xinyan and Beidou… But when I run a shield it is for very specific utility. Beidou is fantastic in an Arlecchino overload team when dealing with a lot of unavoidable damage. And Xinyan can apply a shield on skill and burst and can be an energy funnel with fav due to her 100% burst crit rate with cons.
While Zhongli is probably the most comfortable character, everything he does except the shield itself is out-classed by another character. And situationally even the shield is out-classed. My 50k HP crowned C3 Layla's shield doesn't break unless I intentionally get hit by every avoidable attack.
He is a good pull if you want comfort in combat, or just like his character and want him, but if comfort isn't as big of a deal then he isn't worth the pull.
I agree!! I’m only pulling for zhongli after I get neuvillette because I just started playing and I don’t have a lot of characters
