GANYU OR ZHONGLI? Who Should You Summon For In Genshin Impact 2.4? | Ganyu & Zhongli Rerun Banner

hello everyone welcome back to another gungeon impact video lantern wright is right around the corner meaning that two of the most popular characters ganyu and zhang li are almost up for grabs and while this is exciting news in and of itself it also means that players especially free-to-play players are going to have to make a difficult decision if you can't get both are you going to go for the koko goat ganyu or are you going to go for the geo daddy himself zhong li both of these characters are major account boosters but if you could only choose one which one would give you more value overall while we have reviewed both of these characters separately today we're going to be taking a look at them side by side this way we can directly compare their gameplay and their strengths and weaknesses so that you can hopefully make the best decision for your account if you do end up finding the video helpful at all please feel free to leave me a like and comment down below it does help

we're getting close to 25 000 subscribers and i'd love to have you along for the ride okay but with all that out of the way let's get into the video it goes without saying that ganyu and jungli are both two of the most popular characters in genchin impact both offer players tremendous value both on and off field however these characters have wildly different play styles and fill completely different roles on a team so let's quickly break down their strengths and weaknesses so you can get a better understanding of whether they'll be a good fit for you and then after that we'll directly compare the value that they bring to the table depending on what you personally need for your account first up let's look at ganyu ganyu is most commonly played as a main dps that focuses on charge shots in order to deal the majority of her damage her specialty charge shots hit two times the first hit dealing standard charge shot damage while the second part of her frostlike arrow hits in an aoe and deals significantly more damage these charges are both good for dealing with single target enemies and multiple enemies at the same time essentially allowing ganyu to shine no matter what content you bring her to on top of this when you do unlock her first passive every subsequent frost flick arrow after the first is going to have their crit rate increased by 20 for 5 seconds making her main source of damage even more reliable and allows you to focus way more on her crit damage sub-stats also because her charge attacks are her main source of damage this means that she's not reliant on her skill or burst in order to deal a lot of damage meaning that she's not nearly as energy reliant as a lot of main dps carries and as long as you're able to charge up her charge shots you can keep dealing consistent damage however unlike most main dps carries gone you can also simultaneously function as a sub dps support unit her elemental skill when used does taunt enemies attacks to it while also dealing damage and restoring energy while her burst puts up a huge cryo field that continuously deals damage with icicles that target enemies within range allowing her to not only deal continuous damage but also provide continuous cryo application making it much easier to trigger elemental reactions such as freeze and melt ganyu's second passive also gives her an additional 20 cryo bonus damage to all allies that are in her burst aoe meaning that she can simultaneously give herself a 20 damage increase to her cryo damage as well as to other cryo main damage dealers such as ayaka which in my opinion makes her one of the most flexible characters in genchin impact having the ability to both function as a main dps or support depending on what you want to build her as comes with tremendous value this essentially gives you two different characters in one and allows you to be very flexible with your team building meaning you can switch up her build to best suit your playstyle and needs and speaking of team building ganyu has not one but two completely viable meta team comps because gonyu is cryo you can pair with hydro units in order to freeze your enemies in place making it much easier to crowd control and to deal damage to enemies that will normally move out of the way freeze teams also give ganyu access to cryo resonance as well as the full piece blizzard strayer set allowing her to get up to 55 crit rate from passes alone so long as her enemy is frozen allowing you to fully focus on crit damage and maximizing your damage potential and on the opposite end of the spectrum you can also place ganyu on a melt comp by continuously afflicting your enemy with pyro gonyu is able to take advantage of reverse melt and deal huge damage with her charge shots while you do lose out on a lot of the utility from freeze comps the damage ceiling is much much higher on a melt comp often allowing you to burst down your enemies much faster however melt comps tend to have a much higher technical ceiling so the majority of players tend to go for freeze comps just because they're more comfortable however i've tried and ran both team comps and both are completely viable it really just depends on what you have and what you find more fun and lastly in terms of her major strengths we obviously can't forget that ganyu is a ranged dps this means that you don't always have to be close to enemies in order to deal damage allowing you to keep distance between you and your enemies and allowing you to hit enemies across the field as well as hit enemies that float in the air that most melee characters can't deal with or at least not as easily making ganyu a pretty safe pick for almost all content however despite having all of these strengths ganyu still does have her share of weaknesses first off she's squishy ganyu doesn't really have a high health or defense stat so if you end up taking damage head on or without a shield then gany is very likely to lose a huge chunk of her health or die altogether another thing to point out is ganyu is heavily reliant on actually aiming and shooting meaning that if you aren't good at landing aim shots then you're either going to be losing out on a significant amount of damage or in some cases losing out on all of your damage if your aim shot misses completely this means that gany rewards high technical ability but simultaneously punishes players that aren't good at aiming you can sometimes get around this by aiming at the ground so that her aoe bloom will still hit enemies but if you do this too much you will be losing out on a lot of damage and lastly i want to point out that ganyu is extremely vulnerable while charging up her charge shots obviously you want to fully charge up your frost like arrows in order to deal the most damage you can however if an enemy is about to hit you and you dodge or if an enemy does hit you and interrupts you then you'll lose your charge flake arrow and have to start charging another one meaning that if you're not keeping a good distance between you and your enemy or if you're not running a shielder on your team then your damage output is really going to suffer overall i do think that her strengths outweigh her weaknesses but they're still important to keep in mind and on the other end of the spectrum we have zhong li while it is technically possible to run him as a main dps he is most commonly run as a sub dps support unit and honestly unless you're going for a non-conventional build such as a physical jungle or a cryo-infused jungle with cheongyun and xinhu then i highly recommend running him as the geosupport he was designed to be the most valuable aspect of zhang lee's kit is his insanely powerful shield it has insane type coverage giving you 150 damage absorption against all elements and physical damage on top of this when you unlock his first passive when john lee's shield takes damage the shield will fortify itself increasing character's shield strength by five percent which can stack up to five times for a total of an additional 25 percent shield strength meaning that at high talent levels the shield is almost impossible to break it also has an insanely long up time of 30 seconds meaning that if you're not taking insane amounts of damage then you should be able to have up to 100 uptime meaning that in terms of shielding zhang li is by far your best all-rounder pick and on top of this just by being near enemies so long as you have zhang lee shield up you'll reduce enemies resistance to all elemental and physical damage by 20 meaning that he's not only able to protect you but also provide you with a little bit of a damage increase additionally with his elemental skill he's able to summon stone steels that consistently pulsate geo damage that not only hit enemies but also refund energy and if another geo construct is nearby it'll cause a resonance between the geo constructs allowing them to pulsate geo damage as well and unlike many sub-dps units zhang li also has an extremely powerful burst that not only has pretty high rod damage scaling but also petrifies enemies if it hits meaning that jungle can also be a decent crowd controller if you're not running an enimo support by mixing all of these elements together jungle essentially makes it much easier to keep control of your enemies while also not allowing them to hit you in the first place making it much easier to ignore enemy attacks altogether allowing you to not waste time by dodging and instead allowing you to stand your ground and hit the enemy as much as possible also because young lee is so universal it means that he can slot into just about any team comp while his absolute best team comps are going to be ones that have at least one other geo member so that he can activate geo resonance jungle can technically be fitted into any team comp so long as you're looking for a shielder meaning that no matter who you're deciding to main jungle will be there to protect them i personally think that this gives zhang lee a lot of value because unlike some support units which are hyper specific to certain team comps jungle has so much more flexibility and therefore no matter who you decide to summon for in the future zhang li should still be able to fit with them pretty well however despite jungle being one of the best characters in the game currently that doesn't mean he doesn't have his drawbacks many top tier players state that while zhongli does make the game easier in many situations he'll actually be a dps loss this isn't because he doesn't hit hard enough but rather because he can't proc elemental reactions so in regards to elemental teams slotting in characters like kazuha who can boost your damage while also procking elemental reactions will probably net you more damage overall and something that's being talked about more and more is the fact that there are a lot of enemies being added to the game that directly ignore shields the most obvious example of this are the rift towns since they can apply corrosion to your entire team meaning that in most situations with corrosion you're probably going to want to bring a healer instead there are also the brand new bishops in enconomia that first drain your energy but if you run out of energy then they'll drain your health and unfortunately this drains directly through your shield and while it's not officially confirmed yet there are a lot of rumors about new enemies being added that also have shield ignoring mechanics making many players currently wonder about his long-term viability i personally believe even with these new additions the jungle will still be an extremely useful and viable unit but it's still important to keep in mind okay but now that we've looked at ganyu and jungli individually who should you actually pick for your account when it comes down to it firstly i want you to take a look at your account where exactly are you struggling the most for example do you notice that you're getting hit a lot or that you're constantly dying or are you on the other end of the spectrum where you're not taking much damage because you already have good supports or you're just very good at dodging but for some reason you just can't beat that timer and spiral abyss because you're just not outputting enough damage i personally think that this is probably the biggest distinction between whether you should summon for ganyu or zhang li while both ganyu and zhongli can technically both be supports i would say that ganyu is more of an offensive unit while jungli is more of a defensive unit meaning that if you're struggling on deciding between the two you should probably figure out what you need more i also want to put it out there that if you are manning characters like xiao or hutau specifically then you probably really want to go with zhong li this is because they already damaged themselves and often play at low hp meaning that having a shielder is very very very valuable for them and while there technically are other options for them none of them are quite as solid as zhong li to be completely honest jungle fits well with almost any main damage dealer including gonyu herself because not only is his shield valuable for not taking damage but just as importantly stops you from being interrupted allowing you to fully focus on damage dealing so long as you're not dealing with corrosion or shield ignoring mechanics but if you don't already have a main damage dealer then ganyu is an insanely good pick having a main damage dealer that can deal consistent damage no matter what while also having two meta team comps and can also double as a support is all extremely valuable and so long as you like your playstyle and don't think that you'll get bored of aiming and shooting then she's still a top pick even one year after her initial release so what's the final verdict if you don't already have a main damage dealer probably go for gone you but if you already have main damage dealers and you're lacking on support or just want a shield that can tank just about any hit in the game then zhang li is probably the better option while i love both of these characters to death if i could only recommend one of these two units it would probably be zhong li mainly just because he's so universal and no one really does what zhang li does as well as young lee can do it yes there are other shielders like diona toma noel etc but none of them are quite as good or flexible as zhang li and while ganyu is by far one of the best dps units in the game there are other dps units that do compare to her so if you already have a solid main dps or are interested in one that's coming back in the future then missing ganyu isn't the end of the world however at the end of the day i don't really think that you can go wrong with either of these two characters so when it comes down to it just pick the character that you think you're going to have the most fun with because at the end of the day that's all that really matters however if you still want to know more about these characters or are still having doubts about their kits i did go into way more detail about both of these characters in individual are they worth it videos so i'll make sure to leave a link both up above and down below for you guys if you're interested in that and if you did end up enjoying the video please feel free to leave me a like and comment down below i want to know who you guys are summoning for whether it's ganyu or zhong li or
