Zhongli’s Talent Level-Up Materials In Genshin Impact
Thebest shielder inGenshin Impact, Zhongli, relies heavily on his Hold-Skill,Dominus Lapidis. The skill allows him to create a shield that lasts for 20 seconds and is almost unbreakable. This ability is Zhongli’s key feature, so it’s recommended to upgrade it to level 10 (maximum level).
Meanwhile,his Elemental Burst can deal decent damagewhile providing great CC. Players can either keep it at level 8 or go all-in to 10. Lastly, because Zhongli barely takes field time from his team, his Normal attacks aren’t needed. So Travelers should keep it at level 1.
