Roles
Support: Shielder, Debuffer, Crowd Control (Immobilization), Healer (C6)
Burst DPS
Character Breakdown
Elemental Skill (Tap) has a short base cooldown and summons a Stone Stele which counts as a Geo Construct.
The Stone Stele pulses in short intervals dealing Geo DMG.
Elemental Skill (Hold) will also summon a Stone Stele if the maximum amount of Stone Steles has not been reached, and provides a Jade Shield based on Zhongli's Max HP.
A1 allows his Jade Shield to fortify, increasing the Shield Strength of the fortified On-Field character by 5% when it takes damage. This can stack up to 5 times and will last for the duration of Jade Shield.
A4 allows Zhongli to gain an additional DMG Bonus on his Normal Attacks, Charged Attacks, Elemental Skill, and Elemental Burst based on his maximum HP.
Elemental Burst summons a large meteor that deals AoE Geo DMG and petrifies enemies for several seconds.
Additional Notes
Zhongli’s Jade Shield Debuffs nearby enemy units' by decreasing their Elemental and Physical RES by 20%.
Zhongli's Stone Stele additionally causes all other Geo Constructs in the nearby area to pulse, dealing additional Geo DMG.
Works Well With
Zhongli can be put into almost any team as a flexible Support. He provides powerful shielding, a universal RES Debuff, and Crowd Control in a large area.
Teams containing Zhongli typically do not center around him. He is usually used in an empty slot to enhance other members of the team.
Zhongli also generally replaces healers, as his shield provides enough damage negation if sustained (especially with his A1).
Does Not Work Well With
Zhongli does not work well in Freeze teams since his Elemental Skill pulse triggers the Shatter reaction which stops enemies from being Frozen.
Zhongli can still be used as the 4th character on Freeze teams by positioning his Stone Stele to not Shatter Frozen enemies.

In all of the teams below, Zhongli universally provides shielding, a Universal RES debuff on his Jade Shield, and Crowd Control via his Elemental Burst.
Zhongli's shielding and Universal RES Debuffing are especially useful in Xiao teams due to Xiao's poor survivability and the lack of convenient abilities that debuff Anemo RES. He can also provide Geo Resonance.
Zhongli provides Geo Resonance.
Zhongli's Jade Shield and Crowd Control are especially valuable on Ganyu to decrease her vulnerability when performing Charged Aimed Attacks.
Zhongli's Jade Shield allows Eula to Normal Attack as much as possible and debuff Physical RES to fully enhance her Elemental Burst DMG.
Zhongli's Jade Shield allows Hu Tao to perform her Charged Attack as much as possible and protects her against enemy attacks if Hu Tao does not have the Stamina to dodge.
