Top 5 reasons to get Zhongli in Genshin Impact

sportskeeda.com:

The highly anticipated Zhongli rerun banner will arrive in Genshin Impact with version 2.4. The Geo Archon has defined the meta for several months now, as players largely rely on his shields and Geo damage.

However, lately, a number of new support characters have been released in Genshin Impact. Leaks have suggested that enemy types that are effective against shield characters will be introduced in patch 2.5.

Amidst all the changes in the meta, here are five reasons that players should get Zhongli in Genshin Impact.

Zhongli is primarily known for his shields. He belongs to the Geo element, owing to which his shields have 150% extra strength. With a proper build, players can expect these shields to have a 100% uptime. This trait is extremely useful in time-based and end-game content like the Spiral Abyss.

Lastly, Zhongli's shields decrease the resistance of enemies against Physical DMG and Elemental DMG. This is an indirect but massive damage boost for the DPS characters in the party.

Zhongli is a lot more than just a shielder. He can also fulfill the role of a Geo DPS, burst support, physical carry DPS, and a hybrid DPS. These playstyles are based on how players build Zhongli and his weapons.

The five-star Geo Polearm character can be great in all these roles, and this flexibility makes him one of the most sought-after units in the game.

With his Elemental Skill, Zhongli can provide shields. However, with his burst, he can deal a high amount of Geo damage. This ability can also petrify enemies (except bosses), helping to escape attacks.

Even with low to mediocre investment at high Adventure Ranks, Zhongli can deal 50-60k damage with his burst, which is more than enough to defeat several enemies and bosses.
