Several changes and improvements will be made to Zhongli and Geo characters in All That Glitters, the Version 1.3 update of Genshin Impact (PC, PS4, PS5, Mobile, Switch soon). We explained multiple times in the past what happened with fan-favorite Zhongli and why miHoYo decided to buff him and change how Geo characters work. Now, miHoYo finally published the definitive list of buffs and improvements for 1.3. We detailed everything below.
Zhongli – Buffs and Changes in Genshin Impact Version 1.3
Zhongli’s Elemental Skill “Dominus Lapidis”
Right now, the skill when charged:
- Creates a Jade Shield with a DMG Absorption scaled on Zhongli’s Max HP, and absorbs Geo DMG 250% more effectively.
- Deals AoE Geo DMG.
- If there are nearby targets with the Geo element, it will drain a large amount of Geo element from a maximum of 2 such targets. This effect does not cause DMG.
Starting Version 1.3:
- If their maximum number hasn’t been reached, creates a Stone Stele. (just like when the skill is used without charging)
- Creates a Jade Shield with a DMG Absorption scaled on Zhongli’s Max HP, and absorbs 150% DMG against all Elemental and Physical DMG.
- Characters protected by the Jade Shield will debuff the Elemental RES and Physical RES of enemies in a small AoE by 20%. This effect cannot be stacked.
- Deals AoE Geo DMG.
- If there are nearby targets with the Geo element, it will drain a large amount of Geo element from a maximum of 2 such targets. This effect does not cause DMG.
