Genshin Impact Might Give Zhongli a New Skin

Zhongli can be a more versatile character than many people think. He is ideal for those with difficulty dodging or low-ranking players because of his shield and pillar, which does damage. If your play style changes, he can change his build back to increase his attack and cripple enemies.
