Huge ZhongLi Buffs - 20k HP Shields!

It's about time! ZhongLi's buffs are looking to be really substantial. I do some quick math to see what kind of power increase we can expect if all the buffs go through.

Feel free to toy around with my updated damage calculator where you can add the flat damage gained from HP scaling abilities at:

Hey, 4:35
When resistance goes below zero, the value of debuff is halved as far as i know.
So enemies with 10% geo resistance would have -5% resistance after debuff -> multiplier becomes 1.05
Dmg boost would become (1.05/0.9)-1 = 16.67%

Also I agree about his shield being so powerful. I think you can run c0 Zhongli without a healer

don't forget zhongli first passive adds up to 25% shield strength and geo resonance buff would give 15% shield strength, so the numbers would be even higher after those effects(geo resonance would be all the time, passive is 5% shield strength per hit, caps at 25%)

[Katie-hbiq]

I think people are dismissing dps zhongli. He's sort of viable now as the hp bonus gives him around 10-15% more normal attack damage with his dps build, and around 25% more geo damage from his the stone steles and resonance damage. Also remember, his 5th normal attack is actually 4 attacks, so the bonus hp applies to each independently, adding a lot of damage. This is like getting 5 or 6 talent levels for free, which is basically the margin theorycrafters said he needed to be a good dps. Well, he's there now - he got there.

Also, the shield under the dps build will be a lot more like how the hp % build is now, making the shield on the dps build a lot more worthwhile since it'll feel like you have hp % shield while still doing good dps finally. The hp % build also benefits too, but let's not discount the bruiser build - it's here.

woke up and saw the Zhongli news and thought of u and few other ytbers who would have good thoughts and math abt it so I'm glad u made a video ;-) notification gang rise up

[Mildness]

Thanks for the great video! Doesn’t regret pulling him during the final hours. Really hope some luck happens tho because I’m planning to get at least c1 to maximise his potentials ;)

[chronos]

I honestly wanted the rework to be such that co-op shielding or two pillars was not locked by constellation because it really makes a Zhongli owner with C6 not only have advantage at co-op but also at advantage for solo resonance because many don't use Ning or Geo Traveler in their main party. Although, I like his shield buff. I don't know why everyone is so fixated at DPS when the actual concern is the constellation lock

[thangtruong]

I mean at the end of the day the gate cap for this game is still dps check not shield check it just create more free time not worrying about dying to do more dps but if you dont run zhongli you can just get more dps to make up for it

[Wodie]

Imagine beeing a new 5 star daddy and the god of geo only for whales and lucky people to end up in "My ore mining composition" xD.
But yeah his e range is massive

[goosegoose]

I have a feeling that Mihoyo will remove some of the buffs in the future..

You deserve so much subscribers man keep it up.

[FrustratedMan]

Great video but I think you are focusing a bit too much on Zhongli alone. The geo shield buff affects not only him, but Noelle as well, a character everyone has access to. While her shield will be weaker than Zhongli's, it's also very likely more people will have her c3 to increase talent levels than Zhongli's c3 and that can help bridge the gap a bit.

Additionally the geo resonance buff is a big boost mainly to f2p community as it's accessible by everyone and pretty fast at that throught geo mc + Noelle combo.

Lastly, your results might be skewed by having Zhongli at level 90. Most players won't bring him to that level anytime soon as it costs too much for a support character. Hell, even my 80 Zhongli is higher than what most people will have not to mention using 20/20 artifacts and 5 star spear (I'm kinda similar in that regard to you).

His shield is extremely underrated! Some content creators say his shield isn’t worth investing on which is nuts cause the buff literally gave him a godly shield.

[namensklauer]

20000 hp technically aren't new. I concluded he needs 61k hp with lvl 13 skill. And perfect substats would allow for 62k hp

[missfortunez]

I just started building Zhong li got a long way to go still

[damonchong]

Any new zhongli build now 1.3 is official out?

[bop]

I need that shield to be 20k like, my dps only has 12k~ hp and mobs can do 10k dmg at higher AR. And as a mobile player I’d very much appreciate if they make the god of rock just flat out the best tank in the game, I wouldn’t mind lower dmg for a shield that good at all.

2:44 someone who’s knowledgeable please explain to me HOW HE GOT HEALTH FROM HIS SHIELD BEING HIT BECAUSE I NEED TO HAVE THIS!
