For those who missed out on getting Zhongli, they can finally get another chance on his rerun in Genshin Impact 2.4. However, what about those who already have the Geo Archon? Is it worth it to get a copy to activate Zhongli’s constellations?

Are Zhongli’s Constellations Worth It?

None of Zhongli’s constellations are a game-changer like how he is at C0. Of course, his upgrades increase his utility, but it’s not good enough to deserve the precious Primogems people need to spend. Therefore, players should only pull for Zhongli if they don’t already have him. Nevertheless, if Travelers are curious how each constellation fares in terms of priority, then they can read through to find out.

C1 - Rock, the Backbone of Earth

Constellation effect: Increases the maximum number of Stone Steles created by Zhongli’s Elemental Skill that can exist at the same time to 2. Importance: Low

C1 Zhongli can place a second Stone Steles on the field. The only situation where this effect is useful is when Zhongli is equipped with the 4-Tenacity of the Millelith artifacts set. A second Stele will allow his skill to cover more area and keep it activated more frequently.

C2 - Stone, the Cradle of Jade

Constellation effect: Zhongli’s Elemental Burst grants nearby characters on the field a shield. Importance: High in Co-op, Low in single-player

C2 Zhongli can now shield other players during Co-op when he uses his Elemental Burst, a feature that should have existed without a constellation. This makes him viable in multiplayer, but in single-player content, this effect is unnecessary as he already has a 100% shield uptime.

C4 - Topaz, Unbreakable and Fearless

Constellation effect: Increases Zhongli’s Elemental Burst AoE by 20% and increases the duration of its petrification effect by 2s (From 4s to 6s). Importance: Medium

Having an extra 20% AoE and 2s petrification can be highly useful, but it’s not worth aiming for this constellation.

C6 - Chrysos, Bounty of Dominator

Constellation effect: When Zhongli’s shield takes damage, 40% of that incoming damage is converted to HP for the current character. A single instance of regeneration cannot exceed 8% of that character’s Max HP. Importance: Priority

Shielders cannot replace healers, despite the fact that Zhongli’s shield is unbeatable by most monsters on Genshin Impact’s roster. There are many scenarios that require a healer on the team, like Rifthounds and their corrosion effect. With Zhongli’s sixth constellation, however, the team will not need a healer, since he will be a minor healer as well.

Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
