Uses Of Zhongli's Elemental Skill
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!
