Genshin Impact fans have been waiting for weeks to try out the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's humble consultant, Zhongli. That wait is finally over and you can start blowing those saved up primogems now. Zhongli, please come home.
The handsome mystery man from Liyue has been a bit of an enigma since his debut in Genshin Impact's main story. He's a philosophical man, always rambling on about contracts and money. We've learned some pretty interesting details about him within the last patch. And if you're anything like the rest of the fanbase, you may have spent months pouring over data leaks and trying to preempt a build path for Mihoyo's latest character.
If you plan on pulling the trigger today and letting the wishes unload, make sure you're prepared to invest in the geo user. We've prepared a guide for just such a thing, outlining all of the ascension materials you'll need for Zhongli. If you're struggling to come up with the currency for another chance at obtaining him, try following our guide on how to earn primogems and wishes in Genshin Impact.
We're starting to find out some pretty cool details on him from players who already have access. One user on reddit posted a video of Zhongli one-shotting two of the Geo Hypostasis' revival pillars just by using his E ability. As one of the more frustrating elemental bosses, that's a welcomed addition to any party. Check out the evidence for yourself.
There are also a few basic tips to keep in mind as you pursue him and track early community comments theorycrafting around builds. He's a geo user, so that means his elemental resonance will trigger Enduring Rock with characters like Ninguang and Noelle for resistance to interruption and a 15% attack damage increase when shielded. Evaluate your party needs, then decide where Zhongli best fits in. Genshin Impact typically sorts characters into main DPS and supporting roles. Also, keep your eyes peeled here for refreshers on new builds and reports on how some of the community is clearing content with him.
Now, go pull on Liyue's most handsome dude and tackle his side story. Hopefully, you'll bring Zhongli home.
