Uses Of Zhongli's Elemental Skill

Dominus Lapidis

Tap To Create A Pillar

By simply tapping Zhongli's Skill, it will create a pillar that will stay on the field. It will release Geo pulses while it's active. If you have other Geo constructs on the field, they will synergize and release Geo pulses along with Zhongli's pillar.

Hold To Creates Shield & Pillar

On the other hand, when you holding down Zhongli's Skill, it will create a shield and place down the Pillar. The shield stays on-field even if you switch out of Zhongli, allowing your Main DPS to be protected. The shield scales off Zhongli's HP.

Inflicts A Physical & Elemental Debuff To Enemies

Those hit with Zhongli's Skill will be afflicted with Physical and Elemental debuff. This basically lowers their defenses against all kinds of attacks!

Zhongli's Elemental Burst

Brings Down A Meteor For Big Damage

Zhongli summons a huge Geo meteor that will hit all enemies within its range. The meteor will inflict Geo damage and scales off Zhongli's HP.

Will Apply Petrify To Enemies

Those hit with Zhongli's meteor will become petrified, essentially turning them into stone for a short duration. You can use different attacks to cause shatter to those affected by it!

Focus On Building HP/Shield

Since you want a beefy shield with this build, it's recommended to only use weapons with either an HP sub-stat or has a weapon skill that increases HP/Shield Strength. There are currently no HP sub-stat 5-star weapons so the Staff of Homa is the best 5-star for Zhongli right now.

Tenacity Of The Millelith Is Best For Support/Shielder

The Tenacity Of The Millelith not only increases Zhongli's HP, it provides additional buff whenever Zhongli's Skill hits an enemy. You get additional Shield Strength and ATK even if Zhongli is off the field, providing additional support to the team!

Build Triple HP For The Best Shield

With Triple HP in your sub-stats, you're basically making Zhongli's shield as tanky as possible. This also increases Zhongli's Burst since this also scales off his HP.

Zhongli+Arataki Itto = immortal Hard hitters
Arataki Itto Akaushi skill sets off geo waves with Zhongli's Dominus Lapidis Skill, and Zhongli's Jade Shield makes not only Arataki Itto immortal but his Physical DMG goes up making his ONI burst extremely powerful
