Subtitled the Vago Mundo, Zhongli is now available in Genshin Impact.
A polearm wielder, he is aligned with the Geo element. He's best used as a support DPS, thanks to his ability to generate powerful shields and debuff enemies on the field of battle.
You can only get Zhongli from Event Wishes, as a five-star character.
The best weapons for Zhongli in Genshin Impact
The best polearm for Zhongli is without a doubt the Staff of Homa, which increases HP and ATK Bonus depending on Max HP.
Another option is the Vortex Vanquisher, purely for its increase in Shield Strength and ATK when shielded.
For those who haven't pulled a five-star polearm, the Deathmatch is a good option for surviving groups of mobs.

The best Artifacts for Zhongli in Genshin Impact
There are three different sets that work well with Zhongli, all with different characteristics.
The Tenacity of the Millelith set is great for buffing ATK, as well as ramping up the shields Zhongli applies if the full set is equipped.
Alternatively, you can run a mix of Archaic Petra and Noblesse Oblige, which will increase Geo DMG and Elemental Burst DMG.
