How to Prepare for Zhongli in Genshin Impact Patch 1.1

Obviously, with a new patch right around the corner, it’s time for a Genshin Impact guide on how to prepare for Zhongli in patch 1.1!

Zhongli is a Geo polearm user who you may have encountered during the main story of Genshin Impact. Indeed, there has been a lot of rumours surrounding him being the star of the next character banner. Furthermore, with the confirmation of his release in 1.1, the odds of the rumoured banner being true have just increased by a lot. 

Without a doubt, we know that you will be able to wish for Zhongli come patch 1.1. If you’re like me and are super excited for this character then you may want to get ready to upgrade him when he drops. So, let’s prepare for Zhongli!
