Overview
Zhongli protects attack windows with a durable shield and nearby resistance reduction. His brief setup limits interruptions, while the optional meteor adds control only against susceptible enemies.
Role
HP-scaling shield / nearby resistance support
Playstyle
Hold the Skill before the damage window and refresh protection when needed; use the meteor only when its action is useful.
Why It Works
Jade Shield absorption uses Max HP and strengthens after taking damage through Resonant Waves.
Watch For
A broken shield loses the support context; enemies that cannot be Petrified do not grant the same control value.
Playstyle
Combat Flow
Hold Skill → trigger Favonius → collect the matching shard if using Petra → carry; refresh shielding before expiry.
Key Notes
Hold Skill creates the Jade Shield; tapping alone does not.
Stay near enemies for the shield’s resistance reduction.
Pillar-dependent sets are vulnerable to enemy movement and construct destruction.
Burst is optional on the shield build and can consume valuable field time.
