✖
Genshin Impact developer miHoYo has announced big changes are coming to a fan-favorite character in an upcoming update that should disrupt current
Genshin Impact tier lists on Reddit and elsewhere. More specifically, the Chinese developer has announced that with update 1.3, Zhongli will be getting some much-needed buffs. And in a new post over on the game s official website, the developer has provided some details revealing what s changing about the recently-added character.

Now, the company announced that a Zhongli buff will come in the 1.3 beta test version and eventually add alterations to the character.
In general, it seems like the goal will be to increase Zhongli’s DMG, so he’ll be stronger against enemies, make his shields more useful so they provide both better protection and DMG buffs, and improve Geo as an element in general.
