Squad Composition
Jun Li is currently a plug-and-play character - you can add him to any group and he will be useful everywhere. All thanks to his insane reduction of physical and all elemental resistances of enemies by 20% when Jasper Shield active. Yes, and bonuses from full sets Tenacity of the Millelith, Noblesse Oblige и Archaic stone give a significant increase to the overall damage of the group.
And if you try to adjust the party to Zhong Li himself, then he definitely needs Geo Resonance: he will give the group + 15% of the shield’s durability, the damage dealt under the shield will increase by 15%, and when damaging an enemy, his Geo resistance will decrease by 20% for 15 seconds .
- Albedo / Ning Guang / Traveler Geo. Usually, the number of Geo characters in a group is no more than two, but in some groups it can reach three, due to which a maximum of Geo constructs on the field is achieved (well, or you can put two "barrels" of the main character near the Zhong Li stele at once) - this will also help to restore faster energy for ult. In addition, each of the three above will increase the damage for your group: jade screen Ning Guang increases the Geo damage of the characters who passed through it up to 12% for 10 seconds, Albedo's ult is the mastery of the elements of the whole team, Geo Traveler's ult is crit. chance within the erected stone wall.
- Ke Qing / Fischl / Lisa. If you use Zhong Li for physical damage, these three will help create the Super Conduit reaction (if used in conjunction with Cryo heroes), reducing physical. target resistance by 40%. The task is to enter the field, throw an effect on the enemies and go back to the pocket.
- Diona / Keya. They will help activate the Superconductor with their Cryo element - the tactics are the same as above.
- Xiao. It can act as the main damage dealer, receiving additional protection from Zhong Li's shields, but a separate plus is the passive effect of the shield, which lowers the resistance of enemies to all possible types of damage. Even the Emerald Shadow Artifact Set cannot bring down the resistance to Anemo damage that Xiao attacks, so Zhong Li can increase Xiao's overall damage impressively.
- Dilyuk + Xing Qiu + any Geo. One of the options for a strong group led by Dilyuk is to smash everything and everyone to shreds.
How to play Zhong Li
We note right away that this character shows himself perfectly in battles with both ordinary mobs and bosses, and can also support his allies if necessary. All this follows from its main advantages:
- High attack speed.
- Dealing large Geo damage in an area.
- Can turn enemies to stone with her elemental blast.
- Able to pull the Geo element from opponents.
Turn enemies to stone with Comet Drop
During the application of the elemental explosion of this hero, a huge meteorite falls on the battlefield, imposing petrification on all mobs in its area of effect. This is a great crowd control skill, similar to Freeze's elemental reaction, which means that enemies lose the ability to move. At this point, you can quickly heal, deal additional damage to opponents, or simply run away.
Balance between attack and defense with Dominus Lapidis
A quick press of an elemental skill key summons a stone pillar that deals area damage to Geo when it spawns. Then periodically she attacks all the enemies around her.
This pillar is a Geo construct, meaning you can climb it or use it to block enemy attacks. As a result, you will be able to simultaneously defend against opponents and deal damage to them. By the way, Zhong Li's charged strike causes a shower of stone spears. Its use consumes stamina.
Remove Geo-protection of enemies
If you hold down the "Dominus Lapidis" skill key for a long time, the character deals Geo damage in an area, forms a Jasper Shield, the power of which depends on maximum health, and depletes a Geo element from nearby enemies.
In the latter case, enemy Geo structures and shields are either destroyed or take significant damage. This skill is great for fighting Hilichurl Guards, Mitachurls, or Shamachurls.
