Ganyu VS Zhongli: who plays a more important role in Genshin Impact?

Zhongli is Geo archon in the game and he first appears in the Archon Quests Chapter I: Act II – Farewell, the Archaic Lord. Furthermore, many players are already big fans of his character design and want him to be on their team.

Zhongli is mainly popular for his shield as he can take a lot of damage which helps main damage dealers to not worry about opponents’ attacks. However, players’ opinions about him changed after miHoYo introduced Corrosion, which is a Status Effect and Ley Line Disorder, where characters who are Corroded will lose a fraction of their HP every second.

Unfortunately, Zhongli’s shield is completely useless against Corrosion, which makes several users wonder if he’s worth their primogems. Regardless, players only need excellent healers to keep their characters’ HP in check. Therefore, Zhongli can help players a lot in open-world challenges and Spiral Abyss as well.
