Zhongli Artifacts Desc
The Tenacity of the Millelith is one of the most effective and powerful artifacts for Zhongli because it enhances shield strength and boosts the attack of support characters by up to 20%. Additionally, it’s one of the best artifacts for defense purposes. Currently, the second best artifact is Noblesse Oblige, which increases both DEF and CRIT DMG by more than 20%. If you use Elemental Burst, it boosts your party members’ attacks by up to 20%, which is very beneficial.
If you don’t have Noblesse Oblige, you can go with the 4-piece Archaic Petra set. This set provides a Geo DMG Bonus and enhances Elemental DMG, which can be advantageous. Apart from these, you can also consider going with the 4-piece Emblem of Severed Fate set, or alternatively, a combination of 2 pieces of Noblesse Oblige and 2 pieces of Archaic Petra.
Zhongli Weapons Desc
To maximize Zhongli’s shield and burst damage, the best 5-star weapon is the Staff of Homa. It provides a significant amount of base ATK and Crit DMG, along with increasing ATK by up to 20% of Max HP. If you don’t have the Staff of Homa, you can use either the Vortex Vanquisher or the Primordial Jade Winged-Spear instead. For 4-star weapons, you can consider using Deathmatch or the Lithic Spear in Zhongli’s build.

Repeat Again
To easily defeat enemies with Zhongli, follow this best rotation:
Start by activating Zhongli’s Elemental Skill to deploy his shield.
Switch to your main DPS character to attack the enemy.
Then, switch back to Zhongli and activate his Elemental Burst for heavy Geo damage.
Finally, switch to support characters to assist with recovery and support for your main DPS. Repeat Zhongli’s rotation to defeat enemies effectively.
Zhongli Overview
Zhongli is a 5-star Geo character who uses polearm-type weapons. He is an easy-to-play character specializing in shields and burst damage. By holding his Elemental Skill, Dominus Lapidis, he activates a shield that protects Zhongli from damage and allows him to successfully deal AoE Geo damage.
He activates his Elemental Burst, Planet Befall, which summons a meteor from the sky to strike enemies, dealing heavy Geo damage. He also has passive skills that increase the strength of his shield and help maximize his HP. One great thing is that you can consider Zhongli as a Physical DPS.
