Rotation Of Shielder Zhongli Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Use Zhongli's Skill for Shield |
| 2 | Switch to Furina and use Skill then Burst |
| 3 | Switch to Neuvillette and use Skill then Burst |
| 4 | Switch to Kazuha and tap Skill then Burst |
| 5 | Switch back to Neuvillette and use Charged Attacks |
| 6 | Use Skill or Burst when available |
| 7 | Once buffs expire, start from 1 |
The amount of Charged Attacks that can be done by Neuvillette depends on how fast the rotation of buff applying can be done.
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Neuvillette | ArlecchinoMualani EulaWanderer | - Any main DPS characters can be used, make sure to adjust members accordingly - Dendro and Electro main DPS are often used in Dendro-reaction teams which are likely to not use Zhongli |
| Furina | XingqiuYelanFischl | - Sub DPS pick will depend on who your main DPS is - Make sure to utilize elemental reactions that can synergize with the DPS |
| Kazuha | Bennett SigewinneXilonen | - Aside from the three, any support characters that can complement your main DPS pick can work. - You can also choose to add a 2nd sub-DPS if wanting so |
Zhongli's shield can shred the elemental & physical resistance of nearby enemies which makes Zhongli a flexible shielder that can fit in most team comps.

Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifact & Stats |
|---|---|
| Zhongli | Staff of Homa Archaic Petra x 2 Noblesse Oblige x 2 Main ATK% / Geo DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. ATK% 3. Energy Recharge 4. HP% |
| Kachina | Footprint Of The Rainbow Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City x4 Main Stat: DEF% / Geo DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub: 1. CRIT Rate 2. CRIT DMG 3. DEF% 4. Energy Recharge |
Raiden Shogun | Engulfing Lightning Emblem of Severed Fate x4 Main ER / Electro DMG / Crit Rate or DMG Sub 1. Crit Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge |
| Bennett | Aquila Favonia Noblesse Oblige x 4 Main Energy Recharge / HP% / Healing Bonus Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. HP% |
Kachina, Raiden Shogun and Bennett all boost Zhongli's DMG whether through Elemental DMG, Burst DMG or ATK%. If Staff of Homa has high refine like R4, HP% sands is a better choice for Burst Sub DPS Zhongli. Raiden Shogun can also be DPS if Zhongli's Burst did not finish off the enemies.
Rotation Of Geo Sub-DPS Zhongli Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Enter with Raiden Shogun and use her Skill |
| 2 | Switch to Kachina and use Burst then Skill |
| 3 | Switch to Bennett and use Burst then Skill |
| 4 | Switch to Zhongli and use Burst |
| 5 | You can also use his Shield if needing so |
| 6 | Repeat from 1 |
Make sure to not tap Kachina's Skill twice as it may add time to the rotation. Kachina has to go first before Bennett so that she can trigger Crystallize in order to buff Geo DMG and Electro with Cinder City set. If enemies are still alive, Raiden Shogun can use her Burst mode to finish off the leftover enemies.
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Kachina | OroronNingguang | - Ororon can also use Cinder City set but you'll have to add a Hydro character if you want to use him as sub DPS as well. - He can also help with energy recovery - Outside of Natlan characters with Cinder City set, Ningguang can buff Geo DMG as well. She can potentially hold Cinder City for 24% Geo DMG buff for the team |
| Raiden Shogun | Neuvillette Arlecchino | - Both are good main DPS that can apply their respective Element then leave the field with no repercussions. - This will allow the support with Cinder City to buff both Geo and DPS' Elemental DMG |
| Bennett | KokomiYelan Furina | - All three can buff DMG dealt, either through kit, weapon choice or artifact set - Can use any character than buff both Zhongli and the DPS character |
In this team comp, Zhongli's shield will not be as tanky. Changing to HP% sands could work, but if needing sustain, adding a healer is a good decision.

Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifact & Stats |
|---|---|
| Zhongli | Black Tassel Tenacity of the Millelith x 4 Main HP% / HP% / HP% Sub 1. HP% 2. Flat HP |
| Itto | Redhorn Stonethresher Husk of Opulent Dreams x 4 Main DEF% / Geo DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. DEF% 3. Energy Recharge |
| Gorou | Noblesse Oblige x 4 Main DEF% / DEF% / CRIT Rate Sub 1. DEF% 2. Energy Recharge |
| Chiori | Uraku Misugiri Husk of Opulent Dreams x 4 Main DEF% / Geo DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. DEF% 3. Energy Recharge |
Mono Geo with Itto can utilize Zhongli for added interruption resistance and sustain. You can swap out Chiori for a healer if fighting against enemies that can apply Corrosion status.
Rotation Of Mono Geo Zhongli Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start with Zhongli and use Skill for shield |
| 2 | Switch to Gorou and use Burst then Skill |
| 3 | Switch to Chiori and use Burst then Skill twice |
| 4 | Use Itto's Burst then Skill |
| 5 | Start using Normal Attacks until his Stacks are maxed then use Charged Attacks |
| 6 | Repeat from 1 |
Remember to refresh Itto's Superlative stacks while in Burst mode. But since the team buffs will likely expire before that, repeating the rotation is the way.
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Itto | Xilonen | - Though Xilonen is used more for her Support abilities, she can be a good alternative for Geo DPS - Other Geo characters like Noelle and Ningguang can be used but their damage would not be as good as Xilonen's |
| Gorou | Geo Traveler | - Geo Traveler has a CRIT Rate buff and can produce Geo constructs that can also resonate with Zhongli's monolith |
| Chiori | Albedo | - Albedo can be used as sub DPS alternative for Chiori - Other elements for support can be used |
Using a non-Geo character will make the team no longer mono Geo but if wishing to improve the damage by using a support character like Furina, it can have a good outcome.
Geo Construct Is Capped At 3
The number of Geo constructs that can simultaneously exist is up to 3. When another Geo construct is produced beyond the cap, the initially created Geo construct gets destroyed.

| Furina | Splendor of Tranquil Waters Golden Troupe x 4 Main HP % / Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 2. Energy Recharge. 3. HP% 4. Elemental Mastery |
Physical DPS Zhongli makes use of his rapid Normal Attack combo. With Fischl and Mika triggering Superconduct, Zhongli can deal more Physical DMG. Furina increases the DMG further with her Burst and can deal additional damage with her summons.
Rotation Of Physical DPS Zhongli Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start with Fischl and use her Skill |
| 2 | Switch to Mika and Aim Skill then use Burst |
| 3 | Switch to Furina and use Burst then Skill |
| 4 | Switch to Zhongli and use Skill |
| 5 | Start Normal Attack combo with Zhongli while refreshing his Skill from time to time |
| 6 | Use Burst if needing to petrify enemies |
| 7 | Repeat from 1 |
The rotation itself is not strict just make sure that enemies are applied with debuff from Superconduct before attacking them with Zhongli.
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Mika | Rosaria Shenhe | - With C6, Rosaria can reduce enemies' Physical RES while also buffing the team's CRIT Rate - Shenhe can buff Normal Attack when holding her Skill |
| Fischl | Kuki Shinobu Raiden Shogun | - Any Off-field Electro DPS can work. It is preferred if they do not require much on-field time. |
| Furina | Yun Jin | - Yun Jin boost Normal Attack damage and also activates Geo Resonance for additional damage. |
