Zhongli build: shield and defensive support

Zhongli build: shield and defensive support. Observe a fight where the shield actually breaks before funding more HP.

Role and team

Zhongli shields and reduces nearby enemy resistance. Defensive play does not require casting Burst every rotation.

Artifacts and Talents

Two HP two-piece sets work; triple HP, or CRIT Rate Circlet for Favonius. Prioritize Skill alone.

Choose a weapon

Three-star Black Tassel favors shielding. Favonius Lance supplies particles through on-field critical hits.

Plan your progression

Observe a fight where the shield actually breaks before funding more HP. Then compare protection and Energy according to your team. Enter only the Skill target in the planner for this path; add Burst in a separate simulation if you later decide on an offensive role.

Apply this to your equipment

Read the character’s reference data, compare compatible weapons, then prepare materials for your next milestone.
