Should You pull for Zhongli or Ganyu in Genshin Impact?
Genshin Impact now offers two Character Event banners at once, this time we have Zhongli and Ganyu. But which one should you choose?
Genshin Impact players are usually collecting their precious Primogems for the characters they want to acquire, but MiHoYo recently made a change in the system: There are two Character Banners available at once, from January 25 to February 15 you have a chance to get either Zhongli or Ganyu.
Character Event Banners in Genshin Impact
These characters are 5-star heroes with extremely strong abilities and both of them are useful in almost any party setup – so the decision is hard for sure. Of course, you can get both – if you spend enough real money on buying Primogem packs.
Genshin Impact Wish System Explained
Let’s have a quick check on how the system works if you are new to Genshin Impact.
You need 160 Primogems (or 1 Intertwined Fate) for one pull on a Character Event banner. Every 10 pulls a purple (4-star) item is guaranteed, which could be a character or a weapon. If you are very lucky, you get more purple items in 10 pulls, or even a golden, 5-star weapon or character. Every 90 wishes a 5-star character is guaranteed, but if the last time you’ve got a character from its special event banner, for example, you successfully pulled Xiao from the Xiao Character banner, the next “pity” (the 90th wish) you only have a 50% chance to get the actual new 5-star hero. This is what we call 50/50. We either win or lose the 50/50.
If you know your desired character is guaranteed on your 90th pull, because you either lost your previous 50/50 or this is your first 90th pull, then you have to think which character you should pull for. In this case, Zhongli, or Ganyu?
Genshin Impact: Zhongli Pro’s and Con’s
Zhongli is a 5-star Geo Polearm character in Genshin Impact. He has large AoE Geo damage, a tough shield to protect your characters, and his Elemental burst, which summons a meteor is not only cool, but powerful as well, and petrifies the enemies which give you some time to heal up or think about your next move.
Zhongli’s elemental skill summons a Stone Stele which pulsates and deals AoE Geo damage. This structure can be climbed too – this could be useful in some combat situations. The Stone Stele causes all nearby Geo Constructs to pulse Geo damage.
However, Zhongli’s elemental particle generation and normal attack damage are low.
Zhongli is perfect as a sub-DPS with other Geo characters in the party, that can resonate with Zhongli’s Stone Stele, like the Geo Traveler, Albedo, Itto or Ningguang. Zhongli is a must-have, but getting really high damage from him is a bit harder, than in Ganyu’s case.
Genshin Impact: Ganyu Pro’s and Con’s
Ganyu is a 5-star Cryo Bow character in Genshin Impact. She has multiple AoE skills, massive damage even at C0, a crowd-controlling flower that can save you in hard situations, and a high base Crit Dmg. Ganyu also grants some bonus Cryo Dmg for other characters in the party.
Ganyu’s charged shots act differently compared to other Bow users. It has two charges – if you charge it fully, you’ll deal AoE Cryo damage, but you need to practice this ability, as you constantly need to move around to avoid interruption by mobs.
Her weakness lies in her squishiness – low defense and low HP is what you get for the high damage. You’ll need a good shielder character and some practice on Ganyu’s usage, to maximize her damage potential.
Ganyu is perfect for Main and Sub-DPS as well if you master her moves. In your ideal Ganyu party, you should have a nice Pyro character for Melt Dmg, another Cryo character, or a Hydro character to crowd-control enemies with freezing, and a good support/healer character to protect Ganyu.
Go for Zhongli if you need a great support character with a shield, and you have the right Geo characters to maximize Zhongli’s damage.
Go for Ganyu if you don’t mind mastering her movements and combat-style, and need a high damage dealer Cryo character.
