i get chills everytime i use zhongli's burst and then follow it with raiden's mosou shinsetsu

i built him as a burst sub dps so, watching his burst deals over 100k is hella fun sometimes lol

Zhongli burst has best animation followed by Diluc( even though he is not that good anymore his burst animation still slaps)

Not to mention the sound of the meteor when it hits, try using the Burst without Music it really sounds impactful and satisfying.

Corrosion exists and you can die from it on field. You could also just learn how to dodge better. Sometimes it would be better to have another support to buff your team? Of course it depends on the team comp though too, geo resonance can be good. I don't own Zhongli, I've played friends' abyss with their Zhonglis and frankly it just takes up extra time to place the shield when you could be dealing damage. I'm probably alone on this opinion though.

@@pechumie nah you’re def not alone, even a lot of the recent “meta” team comps haven’t been utilizing Zhongli since he becomes way less useful the more skilled you are at the game. once you learn enemy attack patterns you can just dodge, he doesn’t add any substantial damage to your rotations so you’re wasting time with him on the team instead of slotting in a different support, and with res shred becoming more common among new characters, the 20% on his shield becomes less valuable. even geo res has it’s problems - most geo characters suffer from the same issues as zhongli, where their utility doesn’t outweigh the damage deficit from slotting them into the team, and having multiple geo constructs can mess up reactions through crystalize. for early game and comfort runs, Zhongli is unparalleled, but in late game content he becomes less useful, which is counterintuitive to a shielder but it makes sense as recent abysses have just been giant dps checks

@@lucasbinder6151 yep most of his videos have flaws in logic and a lot of personal biases. but he's just a guy, you can't expect him to be an all-knowing god and you should require it from him. he's giving his two cents. i disagree with a whole load of stuff he says. but then again, i have always strayed from the meta in every game ever. meta is usually shallow and pretty stupid, that's something i cannot overlook, specially in pvp games, where people are so glued to meta that they don't know what to do when you do something different that's unexpectedly powerful. unfortunately, this game doesn't have pvp, so i can't punish people for being too meta, but that's okay i guess.

Many boss' have been given indirect ways of lowering hp. signora heat and sheer cold, azhdaha elemental damage on shielded units, wolfhound boss corrosion, etc.

Dunno, my geo Tao feel just fine on the current 12-3 with no healers. Corrosion is overrated imo.

@@Soundwave1900 Agreed, i just bring in Jean just in case but usually the corrosion does like 1/9 of my health, and the shield still provides unlimited interrupt resist, protection from every other non corrosion damage source and the res shred, the only way they nerf shields is doing an enemy/ boss that just flat out removes shields on attack but that would piss of the community so much

It would be as simple as floor 11 with the ley line disorder of: "all shield strength is reduced by 60%". That would make it significantly harder and force people (including me) to actually think about dodging again instead of just hold E and tank everything

@@Soundwave1900 Agreed, i use eula fischl albedo and zhongli on abyss 12, no problem at all

You are not alone with this type of thinking! I also play this game just to relax. Besides the character animations in this game overall are really nice. But, even though I have him, and use him a lot, very often I leave him at the tea house in Liyue as Genshin Impact mobs for the most part are really stupid and it really isn't hard to dodge them.

@@richardjones8846 geo abyss mage shield is just a rock

Make me think about who to bring, which adds more strategy and gameplay. You could easily have one of the two paths of the abyss contain more of such enemies which rewards player choice

exactly. i'm dying to stop farming for childe but it's been months since i got him and i only have half assed artifacts on him. just yesterday i got albedo so now i have to start farming for him (cause i didnt get to prefarm. thanks, childe). that's all on top of talents and boss mats which all require resin and rng (also i dont think resin is bad, just the layers on layers of rng makes it feel like youre wasting it every time you use it). so of course we want to build the best characters. there's a considerable amt of timed content that exists outside of abyss and half assed units are probably not going to make it in time so if we're gonna use a half assed unit at least let them be a good one, right? also the layers of rng goes like this when farming artifacts. you have to get the right set, then the right piece, then the right main stat, then the amount of substats (3-4), if it had 3 then you have to get the right 4th stat, then once you have 4 you have to get the right substat levelled, then hope the next substat that's levelled is also right, then the next and next, until the artifact is lvl 20. oh and for every time the substat gets levelled theres rng for how much it increases too. that means you can have 2 artifacts that only rolled into the crit dmg substat but chances are they arent the same number. another reason is because the number each substat starts with is also rng. luckily artifact farming i think is the only thing that layered but the fact that it's the main part of your character's dmg which is the one thing you'll constantly be increasing makes it such a gruelling experience esp when you have multiple characters you want to build.

@@renoirrr couldn’t agree more! Unless you can afford resin refresh daily or are super lucky, it’s almost impossible to build your newly obtained 5star b4 new banner drops. The only method to counter this I can think of is pre-farming, but then again you’d have to have no use for resins to be able to pre-farm. This game is just a never-ending hell of grinding and gambling lmao

@@renoirrr As a note, when you're still building up characters, it's best to not try to perfect everyone right away You'll get more damage from a synergistic average team (2 pc elemental, 2 pc atk with just the right main stats, or 4 pc if you get lucky) than going for perfection right away and letting everyone else rot (even with albedo, I'd say to go for just 2 pc archaic 2 pc husk unless you run out of stuff to do) Build on low rolls and slowly pass +20 artifacts down do other characters or save them instead of instantly foddering them, and it'll help a lot in the long run. Artifacts may be rng but genshin is one of the few games where equipment isn't class 'locked', and you can swap gear around infinitely without needing to pay to unequip them Paimon.moe is a good site to use for builds as well, if you go with build based on what drops instead of aiming for something specific, stuff gets way faster I'd also heavily recommend building supports and off field DPS overall, they offer so much team versatility that a main DPS wouldn't lock you into, it's just that main dps often 'come online' easier

To be fair, if this was a gacha game with infinite resources, the game would be balanced around a higher powerlevel, so you'd have a straight forward grind, but then you'd also *have* to grind

250$ pickaxe and was so bad you lost damage by using him at all with a shield not big enough to tank things vs diona's shield of similar size with her cryo 250% in the first abyss. good times. shame vars is sugar coating it so much with playing a whale account and so little game knowledge he actually thinks zhongli needs a nerf. crazy how spending thousands of dollars on a game F2P can clear and get max rewards makes you think the game is too easy.

@@durag9810 so u dont like the proper pronunciation of the names…

zhongli is the only source outside of geo resonance for geo shred. he doesn't understand the game's mechanics enough but has the audacity to suggest something as stupid as removing the resistance shred from zhongli's shield. half the mechanics he tries to explain are not how they work and skips most of the reasons other units are ACTUALLY overpowered. he has a hu tao with a homa and ganyu with amos... obviously the game is going to be easy for him when the game is designed for the average player; this is why the game's difficulty is slowly going up over time since power is gained over time and not how a vocal minority of players complain about "game is for whales" when they're trying to 36 star abyss with their nonsense teams. then you've got the flip side here of "game too easy" when he's clearly whaled the shit out of his account. he dead ass said the game isn't F2P friendly when half the meta teams are majority and sometimes all 4 star units that don't need constellations, some even use 4 stars weapons as best in slot.

@@richardjones8846 Zhongli is the only way for physical to get -60% against ruin enemies as well, Zhongli without res shred would only have uptime to overtake noelle, but at that point you could just use albedo for constant crystallize

Thoma is theoretically stronger, if you can deal with your shields being smaller

I completely agree that Zhongli's shield is just so much better than Thoma's which feels pretty bad, but the main appeal of Thoma is that he can also apply pyro which can then be swirled with an anemo character. So while his shield is obviously not as good, Thoma actually allows Hu Tao do do more damage which I think somewhat makes up for it

Nah C0 raiden is not busted, she is viable but not broken(unlike venti ganyu zhongli kazuya these units are absolutely broken at c0 even with F2P weapons), however after c2 she clearly becomes one of the best units in game even without engulfing lightening.

Almost no one sensible said she was weak at C0. What most people said was she was underwhelming when compared to other archons like Zhongli (broken shielding) and Venti (broken CC) at C0 and is locked behind cons like Eula which still is true. She is absolutely great for non-meta players but as one starts playing efficiently her value starts to decline.

raiden c0 > zhongli c0

Only reason why Raiden is so popular is because her C1 + C2 is broken and lots of people pulled her C2. If her C2 was in C4 or C6 position, you wouldn't see that much praise to her as you see right now.

Lots of outdated info and bad takes here in the replies huh. The Raiden circlejerk really altered people's thoughts about her.

The 20% less damage resistance it´s acumulative with the Geo resonance, so, that's why. So dmm strong.

It's the Geo resonance but the 20% resistance helps a bit as well.

wait for when part 3 of zhongli story quest comes out and you get to learn about guizhong and rex lapis

as well as how cracked VV is and triple em swirl aoe

Nope it isn't they just both have their own CCs that's better in either situations. Saying venti has a better CC isn't true either when Zhongli can petrify through shields and even bigger enemies when venti can't gather these enemies which plague higher floors of abyss and harder content.

vars doesn't know enough about genshin impact because he whaled on an account and thinks the game is too easy while actually saying "not F2P friendly" while the game is literally designed for F2P. i may have been a little eccentric when commenting on his keqing video but tried to point out all the things he was mistakenly presenting as facts. such as JUST on this video a 20% res shred on zhongli's shield is not a 25% damage increase.... ever. he knows nothing about elemental gauge theory, thinks corrosion can't kill you, and kokomi is a bad unit despite being used in one of the strongest meta teams to date that doesn't even use bennet or xingqiu. he dead ass has the audacity to say zhongli should be nerfed while saying "he has a 7-10k shield" when it's actually over 30k at talent 10 and 50k hp , not even taking into consideration teams that use beidou for a 39% DR

literal god😂

As cheap as it was to have unavoidable damage, I liked the corrosion on death mechanics of 2.1 abyss 11. It made you approach fights in a different way and actually plan your kills and healing, forcing a very unique approach where you could try to nuke all at once to avoid most of the corrosion by ending the fight. Meanwhile currently corrosion beats shields on an enemy that is extremely erratic so face tanking them isn't even a good strat and would be awful to fight even without corrosion. Corrosion can work as a counter, but rifthounds do not.

The point of corrosion wasn't to make people not build shielders, it was made to force them to use healers. Sadly that's the only way to make them build healers without making all healers broken like Bennett

i think it's a good way to counter shields, actually. i like that stored party members take damage from it. we actually need more stuff that damages the entire party. next we need a curse effect that makes all party member share damage equally so you can't have a guy with 50k hp and three others with 9k. as long as we stray from the glass cannon meta, i'm all for it.

ah yes because mihoyo definitively didn't also do this with shields

Corrosion is not the only attempt to counter shields, we had burning since the beginning of the game, but they are really pushing it in Inazuma. I guess that is what happens when you create a broken shield 🤷‍♂️ And we already have another mob that makes dmg ignoring shields, the dendro shaman hili, but I guess burning and any other status effects will come back with force with dendro. Right now burning is like non present in Inazuma and too weak in comparison. It's inevitable to have counter to shields trough status efects tbh, we had sings since the start, we had always have them. And with how strong Zhongli is if you introduce attacks that can partially ignore shields you will render useless the rest of the charas with shields. If you made the scale trough shield strength, you will have shields that let pass too much dmg bc the shields already have less hp than Zhongli's shield, the % of dmg that goes trough would be greater as the total number of shield strength is far less. If you decide to set the dmg to a fixed number the shield can be rendered useless when facing multiple enemies, a tactic that is used a lot in open world and abyss. Mmmm more like counter balance, it sounds like a way to make shields pointless in general 🤔 But I do like the idea of bosses that ignore dmg, I just can't think of a good way to balance it tho. Can you share some ideas? I do like the concept, how would you balance it? :D

@@AuthorityCat ?

@@ADHDgoldfish What he said is essentially powercreep. Since Mihoyo keeps adding stronger and stronger characters to the roster over time (as a general rule, it's not always the case), characters who used to be strong at the time of their release eventually gets powercrept by newer, better characters released later. A great example of this is Diluc. He used to be a powerhouse when he first released - nowadays he's nothing special because better characters eventually overshadowed him.

I used Keqing/Fischl/Xingqiu/Zhongli when PMA was on 12-3 And for this abyss Keqing/Fischl/Barbara/Kazuha since I needed more shield breaking She works fine, though I also have none of those three, since none of them appeal to me lol

I agree with this cause dps char like ganyu, hutao and xiao really need a shield character like Zhongli because how squishy they are tho I mean childe weekly boss can one shot xiao just because how squishy xiao become when he use his Q

Imagine caring about damage

@@maraisfan4life517 what's wrong with it? Abyss is a dps check not a survival check

by balanced you mean literally making healers unecessary?

@@DronesOverTheMoon Number 1 corruption is a thing and having a beefy shield doesnt mean its unbreakable and if u have seen the calcs his ult dmg goes down by alot to a point it is a dps loss if u build shiled solely so either u focus dmg wise or shield wise and then again majority of the healers can also solve other issues such as cleansing for jean cryo energy for diona TTDS for kokomi etc.

The long animation offsets the fact that his damage is so good. There really isn't such a thing as DPS loss. Really if you are worried abt being at a "damage loss", you're already doing high enough damage to the point where most things don't live long anyway.

@@fish9347 In abyss every second can potentially count is all I mean with that. Regardless he is a must have imo for maximum comfort playing and open world. I crowned both skill und may exaggerated a bit, admittedly.

@@PrinceVinc Fair. I just think people often undersell Zhongli's ability to be a DPS

and i'm pretty sure it's illegal too, China has super strict laws for this type of stuff

Uh no, removing his res shreds and you got yourself another qiqi, but instead of strong healing only, you got strong shielding only

Removing the RES Shred will make him inferior to Diona in most case, because while Diona has shied, heal, particle generation and EM bonus at C6, Zhongli would just be a shieldbot.

this guy legit doesnt know how to play genshin his opinion are moot
