With the arrival of Genshin Impact‘s newest patch update, patch update 1.5, Genshin Impact is set to re-run Zhongli “Vago Mundo” Banner. Fans have a chance to pull for him once again if they’d missed on his banner previously. In this Genshin Impact guide, we will talk about all you need to know about Zhongli and her builds and the materials required for Ascension.
Zhongli: Playstyle and skill-set of the character
Zhongli is Wangsheng Funeral Parlor‘s mysterious consultant who is handsome, elegant and surpassingly learned. Though no one knows where Zhongli is from, he is a master of courtesy and rules. From his seat at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, he performs all manner of rituals.
He is later revealed to be the current vessel of the Geo Archon, Morax, who has decided to experience the world from the perspective of a mortal. After giving up his Gnosis, he retires from his position as an Archon and returns to his former identity as an Adeptus. He currently works as a consultant of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. Zhongli is a 5-Star Geo “Polearm” wielding character. His constellation is “Lapis Dei”. These are her talents are as they follow.
| Name | Type |
|---|---|
| Rain of stone | Normal Attack |
| Normal Attack: Performs up to 6 rapid strikes. Charged Attack: Consumes a certain amount of stamina to lunge forward, causing the stone spears to fall along his path. Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact. | |
| Dominus Lapidis | Elemental Skill |
| Every mountain, rock, and inch of land is filled with the power of Geo, but those who can wield such powers freely are few and far between. Press: Commands the omnipresent power of the earth to solidify into a Stone Stele, standing 30 seconds, dealing AoE Geo DMG at the creation. Hold: Causes nearby Geo energy to explode, causing the following effects. If their maximum number hasn’t been reached, creates a Stone Stele. Creates a shield of jade. The shield’s DMG Absorption scales based on Zhongli’s Max HP. Possesses 150% DMG Absorption against all Elemental and Physical DMG. Deals AoE Geo DMG. If there are nearby targets with the Geo element, it will drain a large amount of Geo element from a maximum of 2 such targets. This effect does not cause DMG. Stone Stele: When created, deals AoE Geo DMG. Additionally, every 2 seconds, it will resonate with other nearby Geo Constructs, dealing the Geo DMG to surrounding opponents. Stele creation and Resonance generate 0.5 elemental particles. The Stone Stele is considered a Geo Construct that can both be climbed and used to block attacks. Only one Stele created by Zhongli himself may initially exist at any one time. Jade Shield: Possesses 150% DMG Absorption against all Elemental and Physical DMG. Characters protected by the Jade Shield will decrease the Elemental RES and Physical RES of opponents in a small AoE by 20%. This effect cannot be stacked. | |
| Planet Befall | Elemental Burst |
| Brings a falling meteor down to earth, dealing massive Geo DMG to opponents caught in its AoE and applying the Petrification status to them. Petrification: Opponents affected by the Petrification status cannot move. |

- Dominus Lapidis Stone Stele, resonance, and hold DMG is increased by 1.9% of Max HP.
