Two additional effects have been added to Zhongli’s passive ability Dominance of Earth. These new changes, as a whole make Zhongli powerful raw DPS character. With that being said, here are the changes –
Original Effect:

Post-Adjustment Effect:
The DMG dealt by the following of Zhongli’s attacks will be increased based on his Max HP:
- Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attack DMG will be increased by 1.39% of Max HP.
- The Stone Stele, Resonance, and Holding Mode DMG of Dominus Lapidis will be increased by 1.9% of Max HP.
- Planet Befall’s DMG will be increased by 33% of Zhongli’s Max HP.
Adjustment to Dominus Lapidis’ Holding Mode
The new changes to Zhongli’s Elemental Skill Dominus Lapidis holding mode are more of a quality of life change that was much needed. New adjustments like attack interruption resistance and adding 150% of Physical DMG absorption to the elemental skill is something that the community has been asking since the launch of Zhongli’s banner – Gentry of Hermitage.

Genshin Impact Adjustments to Geo Elemental Mechanics
While Geo users in Genshin Impact hold a great defensive and offensive value in battle, not that many players use them. But, with new enticing changes, we recommend players to use Geo element users – as they serve an all-round value(defense, healer, DPS) to the team.
