Bester Zhongli Build: Waffen, Artefakte und Teams (v7.1)

SHIELD SUPPORTBURST SUPPORT

SHIELD SUPPORT Build

Waffen

1

Schwarze Quaste

LP%

Provides HP% substat, directly increasing shield strength. Its passive is irrelevant, but the raw HP makes it a top free-to-play choice for tankier shields.

2

Favonius-Lanze

Aufladerate

Generates energy for the team with its passive, helping her burst stay up. The CRIT Rate substat makes it easier to trigger the passive, but at the cost of some shield HP.

Artefakte

1

Archaischer Fels

4

When Linnea picks up a crystallized shard, the whole team gains Geo elemental damage bonus. Useful in geo/duo teams, but requires a Geo source to create crystals. Not ideal for pure shield support.

2

Schriftrolle des Recken der aschenen Stadt

4

Support set that buffs Pyro, Hydro, Cryo, or Electro damage after a Nightsoul reaction. Only useful if Linnea can trigger it; otherwise skip.

3

Erinnerungen des tiefen Waldes

4

-30% Dendro RES on enemies hit by her Skill or Burst. Strong in Aggravate or Spread teams, but unrelated to shielding.

4

Ausbilder

4

Boosts Elemental Mastery by 120 for the whole team after triggering a reaction. Great for reaction-focused teams, but requires Linnea to proc a reaction and sacrifices her own HP.

5

Zähigkeit der Millelithen

4

2pc gives HP% for stronger shields; 4pc boosts team ATK by 20% when her Skill hits opponents. The standard shield-support set, easy to maintain uptime if her skill has a short cooldown.

6

Licht der Vourukasha-Oase

2

Zähigkeit der Millelithen

2

2pc gives +20% HP for shield scaling. The 4pc effect is rarely relevant for a support role, so only use this for the HP 2pc in hybrid sets.

SHIELD SUPPORT
Stack HP; prioritize HP-scaling polearms like Black Tassel and Tenacity of the Millelith (4) to maximize Zhongli's shield.
On an HP-focused build, casting Elemental Burst is usually a DPS loss due to cast time; use it only for crowd control, not damage.
With Xingqiu and/or Beidou, damage reduction from Xingqiu's Rain Swords (Elemental Skill/Elemental Burst) and Beidou's shield can stack on Zhongli's shield, making it nearly unbreakable.
Main/Sub Stats: Only build CRIT Rate if using Favonius Lance to reliably proc its passive.
Weapons: Favonius Lance over Black Tassel if team needs energy; build CRIT Rate to trigger passive.
Artifact Sets:
• Archaic Petra (4): Better than Tenacity of the Millelith (4) when team lacks ATK scaling or already has another Tenacity of the Millelith holder. Awkward without extending rotations, since Zhongli must pick up the shard.
• Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City (4): Prefer over Archaic Petra with multiple Crystallize-compatible elements or Geo characters wanting DMG%.
• Tenacity of the Millelith (4): Best for shield HP, but inconsistent vs bosses and needs good construct placement; other buffing sets may be better.
• Deepwood Memories (4): Best in Dendro reaction teams (Bloom/Burgeon/Hyperbloom/Spread) so allies can run Gilded Dreams/Flower of Paradise Lost. Keep enemies near pillars for Dendro RES shred uptime; hard without grouping.
• Instructor (4): For heavily reaction-focused teams like Ganyu Melt or Hu Tao Vaporize, maximizing damage at cost of a weaker shield; shield usually still sufficient even with fewer HP substats.
BURST SUPPORT
Zhongli can be a Geo burst damage dealer thanks to 12s Elemental Burst cooldown and 40 energy cost. Elemental Skill Hold shield scales with HP, and Ascension 4 lets Elemental Burst scale with 33% of Max HP, giving both shield and damage. In some teams, low damage investment or tight rotations make bursting a DPS loss.
Weapons: Favonius Lance can beat other options for team damage if particles are valued; build CRIT Rate for passive.
Main Stats: ATK sands deals more damage; HP sands gives more shield HP. Choose HP sands if shield HP is needed.
Artifact Sets:
• Noblesse Oblige (2) + Archaic Petra (2): Beats Emblem of Severed Fate (4) at low Energy Recharge needs.
• Noblesse Oblige (4): Adds team utility on Elemental Burst; use if no one else holds it.
• Tenacity of the Millelith (4): Adds utility when Elemental Skill hits, and gives stronger shields.
