For those of you who have already got Zhongli but don’t know what kind of build you want to build? You are on the right track. Because here SPIN Esports will share recommendations for build items and artifacts for Zhongli.

Zhongli is a character who has balanced stats. You can place Zhongli as DPS or Support DPS.

Build Zhongli DPS

Build Zhongli’s first weapon and artifact if you use it as DPS.

Here Zhongli DPS will focus on his normal attack and charge attack.

Weapon Recommendations

The author recommends using Vortex Vanquisher (5✰)

This weapon has the ability to increase shield strength by 20%. Each time an attack hits an enemy, increases ATK by 4% for 8 seconds.

Effects can be stacked up to 5 times and only triggered every 0.3 seconds. When a character is protected by a shield, this ATK boost effect increases by 100%.

Vortex Vanquisher is Zhongli’s special weapon. This Archon Geo is basically able to activate the shield continuously, so that the maximum effect of the weapon will continue to be active.

For the next weapon it is recommended to use Primordial Jade Winged-Spear (5✰)

Who has active skills when Zhongli attacks, increases ATK by 3.2% for 6 seconds, a maximum of 7 stacks. This effect can only be triggered every 0.3 seconds. When it reaches the maximum stack, the resulting DMG increases by 12%.

The reason was that this weapon would increase Zhongli’s attack power with every attack he entered. Given that Zhongli’s attack combos are many and fast, the maximum effect of this weapon will often be active.

For other options, if there is no 5 star weapon, you can use it Deathmatch (4✰)

Who has the skill if there are at least two enemies close, ATK and DEF increase by 16%. If there are only less than 2 nearby enemies, ATK is increased by 24%.

Besides Deathmatch you can use it Crescent Pike (4✰) who has the skill when Zhong Li takes Elemental Particle, the character’s Normal attack power and Charge Attack increase by 20% ATK as DMS for 5 seconds.

Artifact Recommendations

The best artifacts for the most recommended Zhongli DPS are:

Timepiece: ATK%;
Goblet: Physical DMG Bonus%;
Crown: Crit Dmg / Rate / ATK%.

The best choice of substates for each Artifact is Crit rate%, Crit dmg%, ATK% and ATK.

For the suggested set of artifacts

Retracing Bolide Set:

2 sets: Increases the effectiveness of shield by 35%;
4 sets: Get an additional 40% normal damage and Charged Attack while in shield protection.

Retracing Bolide might be the best Artifact set for Zhongli. Zhongli can activate the shield continuously so that the effect of 4 sets of Retracing Bolides will always be active.

Another alternative artifact for Zhongli

Gladiator’s Finale Set:

2 sets: Attack + 18%;
4 sets: If the user of this artifact uses Sword, Claymore, or Polearm, it will increase DMG Normal Attack by 35%.

Gladiator’s Finale + Bloodstained Chivalry Set:

2 sets: Attack + 18%;
2 sets: Physical DMG + 25%.

Build Zhongli Support

That is if you make Zhongli play DPS. However, if you only want Zhongli as support, you can use the following recommendations.

Focus your weapon stats and artifacts on Geo DMG and Elemental Burst.

This will make this Zhongli Ulti have a very large DMG and you can spam the Ulti from Zhongli because it has low energy cost and cooldown.

Weapon Recommendations

The most recommended is Skyward Spine (5✰)

Because it has the ability to increase CRIT Rate by 8% and increase Normal ATK SPD by 12%. Normal and Charged Attack have a 50% chance to trigger a vacuum blade that deals 40% DMG in low AoE. This effect can only be active every 2 seconds.

However, the focus here is on Energy Recharge substrates.

Because the Skyward Spine weapon at level 90 will provide 36.8% Energy Recharge.

Other options can use Vortex Vanquisher (5✰)

Because it has the ability to increase the strength of the shield by 20%. Each time an attack hits an enemy, increases ATK by 4% for 8 seconds. Effects can be stacked up to 5 times and only triggered every 0.3 seconds. When a character is protected by a shield, this ATK boost effect increases by 100%.

And the Vanquisher Vortex is Zhongli’s special weapon. This Archon Geo is basically able to activate the shield continuously, so that the maximum effect of the weapon will continue to be active.

For other options can use Favonius Lance (4✰)

Because it has an effect that can make a critical attack giving a 60% chance of spawning Elemental Particles and giving 6 Energy to the character. Activates once every 12 seconds.

Another option is Prototype Grudge (4✰)

Those who have the skills, namely after using Elemental Skills, increase Normal and Charged Attack DMG by 8% for 12 seconds, a maximum of 2 stacks.

The most important point is that the substrate of these two weapons is Energy Recharge.

Artifact Recommendations

The most recommended artifacts for the Zhongli Sub DPS are:

Timepiece: ATK%;
Goblet: Geo DMG Bonus%;
Crown: Crit Dmg / Rate / ATK%.

With the best substates for each Artifact is Crit rate%, Crit dmg%, ATK%, ATK, HP% and HP.

Noblesse Oblige + Archaic Petra Set:

2 sets: Elemental Burst DMG + 20%;
2 sets: Geo DMG + 15%.

The first choice fell on the Noblesse Oblige + Archaic Petra Set because it gives Elemental Burst DMG + 20% and Geo DMG + 15% which will increase Zhongli’s Ulti attack damage.

But you can also use a selection of other artifacts, namely,

Noblesse Oblige Set:

2 sets: Elemental Burst DMG + 20%;
4 sets: Using Elemental Burst will increase ATK for all party members by 20% for 12 seconds. This effect is non-stackable.

Archaic Petra Set:

2 sets: Increases Geo’s DMG bonus by 15%;
4 sets: After taking the crystals created due to Geo Elemental Reaction, all party members will receive a 35% Elemental Damage bonus to certain elements for 10 seconds. Only one form of bonus Elemental Damage can be obtained this way at a time.

That was the build of the best weapon and artifact Zhongli Genshin Impact. Hope this helps you!
