Genshin Impact players will be getting another shot at Zhongli during the 2.4 update, as he is set to be featured during the update's second half. Zhongli is a powerful 5-star unit with some amazing stats and abilities.
He has been a staple unit in nearly every team since his buffs, as his shields are just too good to pass on. Players who have needed a tank on their Genshin Impact teams will definitely want to give Zhongli a shot.
Here's what Zhongli needs to ascend in Genshin Impact.
Genshin Impact: How to ascend Zhongli
Zhongli is one of Genshin Impact's best 5-star characters, with his shielding and utility being unmatched in the current meta. Fans who have yet to summon for Zhongli will definitely want to prepare for his return in the next update.
Luckily, as he is an old character, all of his materials are freely available to farm in preparation. With this guide, players can start grabbing these items early.
Farming these items isn't too tough, as they can all be gathered easily in Liyue. Here's a guide on how to locate each item for Zhongli's ascension:
Privitha Topaz and Basalt Pillars
The Geo Hypostasis can be found in Liyue in the Guyun Stone Forest. This large cube will drop both the Privitha Topaz and the Basalt Pillars that Zhongli needs to ascend.
Taking down this foe is a lot easier with Zhongli as well, as his Elemental Skill will demolish the pillars that this boss summons. Defeating the Hypostasis will require a non-Geo character however, as the boss is immune to Geo damage.
Genshin Impact fans should keep this in mind when they challenge the Geo Hypostasis.
Cor Lapis
Cor Lapis is an amber gemstone that can be found growing around rock formations in Liyue. This gem is pretty common and tons can be found throughout the region. There is a lot of Cor Lapis to uncover, so players can take advantage of this helpful interactive map to find it all.
Destroying Cor Lapis is also made a lot easier thanks to Zhongli's Elemental Skill as it will break the gem in a single activation.
Slime Concentrate
Most Genshin Impact players will have plenty of Slime Concentrate. However, for those who don't, they can use this video as a guide to acquiring them.
There are a ton of Slimes that can be found all around the world of Genshin, and taking them down is super easy. These slimes also tend to drop a ton of the gooey ascension material, making farming a cinch.
Mora and Heroes Wits
To fully ascend Zhongli to level 90, fans will need 421 Heroes Wits, which is a ton of EXP. Farming this many books can take a lot of resin, but it will be worth it in the end.
Ascending him to 90 will also take over 1.6 million Mora, so players should make sure their bank reserves are full before beginning to ascend their Zhongli.
Genshin Impact players who have been awaiting Zhongli's return will definitely want to get a head start on farming for his important materials now.
