Best Teams for Zhongli
Zhongli Works Best as a Shielder
| Rating | Team Description |
|---|---|
| Best | ▼ Shielder Zhongli - Makes the best use of Zhongli's team to protect DPS characters from getting hit. - Elemental shred from his shield allows him to buff all damage dealt. |
| 2nd | ▼ Mono Geo Team - Itto is the On-Field DPS character and is able to create a Geo construct to resonate with Zhongli's Stone Stele. - Zhongli's Resistance shred works for Geo damage and allows Itto to deal more damage without worrying about interruptions in his Charged Attack spamming. |
| 3rd | ▼ Burst DPS Zhongli - Utilizes the high multiplier in Zhongli's Elemental Burst to deal powerful damage. - Reliant on damage buffers and needs Energy funneling for his Burst. |
Zhongli is a character whose teams aren't built around him since his main role is to be a Support for a DPS character. But he has certain teams that work particularly well with his kit like Itto's Mono Geo team.

Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Gorou | Geo TravelerBennett | - Geo Traveler has a CRIT Rate buff and can produce Geo constructs that can also resonate with Zhongli's monolith. - A support character like Bennett can be used instead. |
| Chiori | Albedo | - Albedo can be used as Sub-DPS alternative for Chiori. |
| Itto | Xilonen | - Xilonen can be a good alternative Geo DPS. - Other Geo characters like Noelle and Ningguang can be used but their damage would not be as good as Xilonen's |
Adding a non-Geo character makes it no longer mono Geo but you can choose to improve the damage by using Bennett or another buffer.
