7:30 Final Breakdown
My overall conclusion: Go HP/GEO/CD for a bruiser DPS Zhongli, go HP/GEO/HP for a hybrid shield and burst user, and go Full HP to be a TANK. Keep in mind this is not including Physical Damage! Also, a lot of this comes down to your sub-stats so if you have better sub-stats for HP/HP/CD than for HP/GEO/HP, then go for that! Honestly with his recent buffs Zhongli has gotten so flexible that you canāt go wrong with how you build him!

My Zhongli is currently running HP/Geo/HP because I kinda want to build him as as a tank/support, good shield, good burst, and able to take inevitable damage and survive. Planning to get Deathmatch to replace Crescent Pike because he can't get the max potential of C. Pike.
Edit- saying just awesome is not enough to describe this work in my opinion. Thank you so much for this more or less fair and really applicable example to benchmark on. I feel that you really worked hard and undoubtedly not in a short time for this particular Video.
Thank you so much, so useful, even though u don't provide calculation for shield, u put on a simple and straightforward example for us to look at which was basically enough. Man, again THANK YOU. U're awesome.
Physical Zhongli is still pretty decent. 2 Glad and 2 bloodstained. Atk% / Geo /CD
2:44 pretty sure the ruin had the debuff before the ultimate, you can see it if you slow it to 0.25Ć before zhongli gains a shield
whereas at 3:23 the ruin guard wasn't debuffed
Hi, my build is 4 set Retracin Bolide Hp/Physical/Hp with 50% Cr and 160%CD. The auto its insane but Q its weak, I love it š good video
How do you get that floating pet seelie next to you ?
you missed the most important thing what is your talents level?
This is the perfect video I was looking for, Thanks you so much.
I wanna to try 4 pc bolide set with HP/HP/HP using Crescent Pike but my resin says NO!!
The dedication is real just to make this video š„“
RESPECT
Went for full hp since the beginning…I got Klee as my main dps and that tanky shield is so usefull even before 1.3..
What about physical damage?
Most thorough testing I've seen in genshin. Thank you subbed
I really wanted this video! The thing that still I can't ignore is 6,800 and not 68k 3:25
Thank you . His full attack seems like it still makes a great shield so that's what I'm doing š¤thanks for this man
you didnt include physical build.. my daddy z with full glad set: normal 5k, plunge 10k, charge 8k, burst 40k.
Still waiting for Ayaka lol.
Talent?
if i go full hp, is 2set archaic 2set noblesse is the best effect?
This is very helpful! Easy to understand. Great vid bud!
Zhongli's "meta" changed from HP/Geo to ATK/PHYS/CRIT.
Post 1.3 many players have him as main DPS now. (You gotta abuse that RES shred with 1.39% HP scaling attack, even with just 20K HP Zhongli built with Gladiators and Bloodstain 2pc/2pc, you basically steamroll everyone. Not to mention his Attack animation is very fast too.)
Thank you for doing this! I'm still conflicted regarding his stats. People keep telling me to go with Atk%.
i dont know if i should build him xD i already got 2 teams and idk if its worth
tbh first when he came out i only wanted the 4* but i got him too….
Thanks for making the comparison! I'm looking forward to the weapon guide
Thank you have been waiting for this so long (ļ½„ā”ļ½„)/
Some questions in the shield v childe. Shots taken with full dmg and full dmg (HP) is it same!? Couldn't get it clearly.
Same with full hp and full Hp with tassel
Keep content like this and youāll keep my attention. Well earned sub
What is your talent level again, doesn't recall I see it.
You should really try a dps build for him. My Zhong is on noblesse-bloodstained, hp, physical dmg and crit dmg. All +20 except the goblet wich is a 4* +8. I use the white tassel for the crit rate sub. He has 26k hp, 1.3k atk, 56% cr, 140% crit dmg, 21% geo dmg bonus and 50% physical dmg bonus. Normal attacks do from 1.4k to 3.2k, E resonance 2k, e hold 4k and Q 38k. He his on lvl 80 with talents 4/5/6. I think it's totally worth it
Edit: i use him with Albedo for the elemental resonance, Albedo c1 and Zhongli c0
best guide so far!
Thanks man .. you helped me a lot
to work as a support, wouldn't it be better to give it a spear with energy recharge? I wasn't very lucky with the polearms so I was forced to build the prototype by the blacksmith
Subbed
great video. i still have no idea how i want to build him but thats on me LOL
I like how you explain each characters strengths and suggested build. Thanks.
