We also have an All Genshin Impact Characters list, that gives all available details on all characters in the game, and that includes those rumored to be coming in later updates.

Additionally, we have an All Genshin Impact Materials list, which covers all Ascension and Talent Materials currently in the game!


Here's a guide giving more information on what Zhongli, one of the two characters coming can do!

Genshin Impact Zhongli Skills, Talents, and Ascension

First off is Zhongli, a 5 Star Geo element user, who uses a polearm as a weapon. He is coming to Genshin Impact on December 1, in a banner with Xinyan, one of the other characters that were planned for Version 1.1. If you've been following the main story quests and have gotten to Adventure Rank 29, then you might recognize him as he is in the game!

Attack Talents

Rain of Stone

  • Normal Attack
    • Performs up to 6 consecutive spear strikes.
  • Charged Attack
    • Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to lunge forward, causing stone spears to fall along his path.
  • Plunging Attack
    • Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging enemies along the path dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Elemental Skill

Dominus Lapidus

  • Press
    • Commands the omnipresent power of earth to solidify into a Stone Stele dealing AoE Geo DMG
    • Additionally, the Stone Stele will resonate with other Geo Constructs in the vicinity, dealing Geo DMG to surrounding enemies.
    • The Stone Stele is considered a Geo Constrict, and can both be climbed and used to block attacks. However, only one may exist at any one time.
  • Hold
    • Causes nearby Geo energy to explode, causing the following effects
      • Creates a shield of jade. The shield's DMG Absorption scales based on Zhongli's Max HP and absorbs Geo DMG 250% more effectively.
      • Causes 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 as targets. This effect does not cause DMG.

Elemental Burst

Summons a falling meteor to fall to earth, dealing massive AoE Geo damage to all enemies in range and applying petrify. Petrified enemies can't move and take 20% more damage from physical and Geo attacks.
