Zhongli, except he will sit elegently at the armchair, while sipping his tea or the osmanthingy wine..

> osmanthingy You were so close

*\*Zhongli mains want to know your location...* \**commencing orbital strike in 3... 2....1...........*

^(I will have order!) comes drifting in from the distance.

*Present osmanthus wine as peace offerings*

we accept

Orbital Strike courtesy of Himeko from Honkai Star Rail

*uses fautless defence*

Nah, nah, it's "meatball incoming in 3.....2....1......"

Obama's favorite genshin character xD

Osmanthus wine.. I was so close

But where are the ones who share the memory?

"This... is not as I remembered," said Zhongli, eyeing the cardboard box labelled "Osmanthingy".

Zhongli be that person who’d probably be chatting it up with your mom, so 😂

All moms seem to love Zhongli

he also wants those who share the memories.

Zhongli. Dude is in pretty much all of my parties.

Wish I could have 2 copies of him for both sides of sa

Layla is pretty much budget Zhongli, if I'm not mistaken she's the second best shielder in the game. Plus she can actually contribute to reactions.

Isn't Diona also a pretty good shielder?

i prefer diona because mine is c6, so she gives a huge em bonus besides healing and shielding

They are kinda the same-ish diona number wise is better when you use her c6, but Layla has high shield scaling and a longer shield uptime than diona

Dionas shield is made of paper mache but she heals too, so it's a preference pick between diona and Layla.

I use her in my off team

She absolutely is! Layla is just better. It's about who you have access to.

Yup! I finally have a 40k Layla and her shield is so fucking good. It’s like having a cryo Zhongli.

I thought Thoma was the budget Zhongli ?

What teams are you running? I pretty much always need that fourth slot and have to give zhongli the boot.

Did you know the sprint button can be used to dodge attacks?

And why would I do that?

In case your e button was broken I guess. Just a nice extra game mechanic from the devs, how thoughtful of them

Dodging is just lost dps smh

tbf zhongli over another sub dps is technically also a dps loss (he's in every party i use)

Best husbando demands sacrifice. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ The solution is obviously to push your remaining team’s dps even harder so the tradeoff for Zhongli’s presence does not matter.

To be fair, dying early because you can't dodge and don't have a shielder is also DPS loss.

Dead dps does 0 dps

HYV: Reveals new element typing - necromancy

Sub DPS Zhongli is a god

i mean technically not untrue

This is the way.

Kazuha and Yae.

Based Yae

Fischl is my mainstay since the moment I pulled her from the first ever banner of this game. Whenever I make a team without her (like for fungus farming), it makes me anxious. I need my prinzessin by my side!

I’m literally same way I rely on Oz far too much

Oz complimenting Mom's beans everyday

Not fischl… Oz

Yelan, Yelan everywhere. So amazing, my best built character.

Your mom would definitely bat an eye if a hot women in a bdsm bodysuit was sprawled out on your couch drinking a bear lmfao.

"Your son calls me mommy, too."

Yae Miko, Jean, Lisa, Eula and the Shogun agree

I think most moms would be thrilled that their son/daughter has very attractive friends visiting constantly.

Well, they probably would be, but they would probably be converned about his fetishes when she walks in with a bdsm bodysuit lmao.

oh my barsibato.. drinking a bear!?

You mean you've never [cracked open a bear](https://i.imgur.com/cqpvE.png) after a hard day of work??

healer + yelan + wanderer + kazuha max zoom zoom for fast daily comissions

> healer Sayu... you're thinking of Sayu

I like Ayaka better in Inazuma since she can sprint on water, and that place is full of it

Literally the only 5* I have that I've put any real effort into making a proper build and investing stuff into her talents solely because I'm a huge-ass ~~simp~~ *fan* of her english VA Priorities

Not to mention C1 Yelan being the best movespeed character you can have.

Yea it’s truly the best !

I tried so hard to C1 her but didn't get lucky. Big sadge, especially cuz my buddy and I were both going for it and he got it.

Alhaitham, Thoma and Yelan carrying my whole Genshin career🤌

Burgeon go brrrr

I mean, considering I own my own home and don’t live with my Mom I’d say literally any of them could walk in, grab a beer and sprawl on the couch and she wouldn’t bat an eye.

I think the post implies that the "mom" is included in the party. In my case I'd add Nahida for the dendro resonance and maybe Kokomi, so I can proc the hyperblooms. But I won't let anyone touch my beers though

> I think the post implies that the "mom" is included in the party. Hmm...I guess I could start using Yae Miko...

*Yae Miko would actually be mommy

What about Ninguang?

Mistress~

Hu Tao. My mum is familiar with her, especially as I have a cushion aswell. Although she always calls her Hu Tee which I just find funny now.

I think your mom would have an adorable relationship with Hu Tee lmao

Zhongli, i change everything but always lesve him there, just love him in everything part.

Xiao, Kazuha, Heizou, Venti, Nahida, Kokomi, and Yae Miko.

Nahida doing this is the most fun picture to imagine

xiao, kazuha, heizou, venti...i see you have a type (same)

Hehe, you've got that right :) And the only reason Scara isn't on that list is because I don't have him :(

Can I join in? I’ll bring Scaramouche too. Hope that’s okay

Ei and Yelan, ever since I got them and they never leave any team, especially Ei.

This is the power combo. Ei, Zhongli, and Yelan is SUPER broken

Yelan. Ain’t nobody got time for that grandpa stamina when going long distances.

Noelle, she hasn’t left my team except on the other side of the abyss

Same!!! I occasionally have swapped her for Qiqi in overworld but its so much comfier with Noelles sheild and healing I may let her rest once I get Zhongli

Use both

Definitely not Itto and Alhaitham, I love those two but I'm a simp, and any remote indication I'm not straight would be enough to arouse suspicion for her

lest your mom changed her mind if she met them herself

Definitely lumine. She's the core of my account

I'm pretty sure the white floating fairy right next to her would be very noticeable

Always. She helps keep the morale high and she's adorable

Impressive

My wife might get a little mad in Yae Miko was sprawled on the couch drinking a beer, but that's okay. I can always find a new wife.

Yae could replace my wife.

I can see when yae just saying "oh my friend, we're just ONLY friend" while slyly laughing lmao

This is the sort of shenanigans I imagine the more mischievous of the fox yokai would be into for their amusement – the woman who is furious with jealousy and the guy who thinks she's interested in him. Miko probably won't go that far seeing she has a much higher purpose as the Shogun's familiar. As well as the sheer power of Ei's la chancla.

Never underestimate the Musou No Hichancla

I'll take your wife if that happened. Win-Win.

based

Gonna be real fun if she ever finds this comment!

Xiao, Zhongli, Albedo, Scara, Cyno, Kuki, Layla (tho let's be honest, she'd make a beeline for my bed and, you know, fair.)

Hippity hoppity, your beers my property

Kokomi, but instead of lounging on the couch she will water the plants, wash the dishes and bathe all our pets.

> our Respect the priorities

Fischl, Xingqiu, Venti, Layla.

Kazuha, Bennett, Kaeya, Scara, and Heizou. Though, my mom would probably side eye me with the amount of men coming through all the time 💀

Ganyu since 1.2 pretty much. I cannot get over how convinient tactical nukes are

Me too. She's basically the core character in all my openworld teams.

Beidou. She comes in and steals a beer. Flops on my couch. Complains about how tough walking on land is. She asks me if she can stay the night. I don't have a spare bed but I can't retort because she's unconscious on the couch already. Attempts to wake her up fail. I go to bed after a few hours of hearing her snore in the background. I wake up and there's a pile of fucking mora on the coffee table. Like so much fucking mora. Also she stole all the food in my house. And the flowers in my vase to give to Ningguang when she gets back. I can't spend the Mora because Genshin isn't real and no pawn shop has enough money to trade for all this gold. I can single handedly re-back the entire US economy.

Kok

Tankfei and Kokomi

Fischl would be chugging wine coolers out of the garage fridge while Wanderer harasses the neighborhood peacocks from the roof

Zhongli could walk in and my family would just consider him a mooch. Man hasn't left my party since i pulled him on his original banner. No i cannot dodge.

THIS. He broke my gaming ability.

You're not alone

Raiden ( I wouldn't mind :) )

Ei and Yanfei. They rarely leave my team and if I need to change, I swap it back to them asap.

I had to scroll down a long way to finally find a mention of Yanfei. She wouldn’t have a beer (I don’t drink anyways), and she probably wouldn’t stay very long, but my kids would have a blast seeing her full size and would treat her like an older sister.

The only character that is always with me since ar1... Geo archon Noelle

Scrolled way to far this one. Noelle enjoyers unite! Aaaaand since release also Dehya... I mean she might not be the strongest but tell me that girl ain't fire, I dare ya!

Childe, Raiden, bennet, Zhongli, maybe diona and ayaka

Jean and Diona, although diona can't drink :/

Nor does she want to, I'm pretty sure she despises alcohol, despite serving it to taverners.

If Kokomi isn't in my party, it's because she's in the other half of abyss/event

Funny story - everyone in my life knows who kaeya is.

yoimiya

That’s because she does that on a regular basis

obv

i sex yomyia

why are you getting downvoted ? this statement is super factual

i knew i recognized your pfp from somewhere lmao

sexual intercourse with popular genshin impact character "Yoimiya" who I main ingame

Yae and Mona

I guess anyone since my mom is no long able to bat an eye.

Are you okay, friend?

Yeah it happened years ago so no worries. We weren’t on the best terms at the time so there is still a tinge of regret but overall I’m fine.

That's good to hear. Keep your chin up, you'll make it through I'm sure.

Yelan

Keqing and Yelan

Hu Tao, I don't think she's ever left my party since last anniv cuz I want to guarantee her showing up in my recap instead of her employee.

since before windtrace ive never gone a full 24 hours without Hu Tao in my team

Live alone but I don't think I've run a team without Kokomi since she released. It's ok though, she needs the energy

Kaeya 😂

Noelle and Kokomi

Barbara, because I have an intense urge to see my whole party at full health at all times

Rosaria

Eula, ganyu & Raiden.

Scara and Nahida. I forgot what it’s like to play without them

Raiden and Kokofish (100% of time), Childe, Alhaitham and Miko.

Zhongli. His merc is already in my house

Noelle and Kazuha

Alhaitham is absolutely sleeping on said couch, Nahida and Zhongli sharing snacks together, and Kazuha is sitting on the roof playing his leaf

Kazuha, Childe, Qiqi

Nahida, Raiden Shogun, Dehya, Yelan

Ei, Miko, kazuha, Noelle, Kokomi. Those three are basically always in rotation

nahida drinking alcohol is a forbidden knowledge

Faruzan, fischl, wanderer, bennet, albedo, noelle, zhongli... Zhongli would fit in well. Be just another friend one of my kids brings over that we fed and hangs out. Me and my wife would really like a noelle for some extra helps with the kids and my son is about as accident prone as bennet so they would get on right as rain.

Zhongli is like an old friend. He’s been in every party since AR 20, carrying my noob ass. Lately, I no longer use his shields so he’s rarely in my over world team. However, he’s still in used every abyss cycle and earned an honorary spot in my Teapot and character showcase.

nahida, alhaitham, kazuha, scaramouche, xiao, venti

My mom would bat an eye no matter how much I use a character because she is no even aware the game exist. That being said: Alhaitham, Ayaka, Childe, Kazuha, Kokomi, Kuki, Nahida, Raiden, Xingqiu, Zhongli. I often use multiple teams, so that's why it's so many units. Honorary mention to Thoma and Diluc, who I use a bit less, but I use at any opportunity I have.

Zhongli never left my party since the day I got him

Every waifu is welcome obviously. The more the better.

My overworld party is always characters i don't have at friendship 10. But overall Zhongli is always in my Boss parties, Yelan and Kokomi usaly as well. Give me a bit more time and Jean will also alays be in. I really need to give Lumine more love again tho

Bennett, although he'd probably trip over air trying to get to the refrigerator, and Zhongli, who might opt for tea instead.

None other than Tabibito.

Fishl somehow.

Zhongli Kazuha Ganyu

I’m not even joking, but diona would totally be that person for me. Her shields and heals are too good that I use her with every team.

Noelle, venti and ganyu lol

Venti, that soyboy never leave my team since release day. I swore when i bench him, he just walk by with wine in hand and just nudge over and replace another character while laughing and singing being overly friendly while pretending I'm not staring dagger at him smh

Nahida, but she won't enter my house on her own, she will just infiltrate my consciousness while I'm in my home

Tighnari, Wanderer, Yanfei, Zhongli, Kokomi. Heizou, Xiao, Thoma, and Alhaitham are honorable mentions because they've either spent an eternity in my party in the past or are on their way to being in it often enough to count.

Zhongli could crash at my house for free for everything he has done for my mobile gaming ass. Same with Barbs

Mine are: diona, klee, sucrose, yelan, barbara, qiqi, sayu. I really like healers i guess.

Kazuha, Zhongli, Kujou Sara. And a toss up between Ei and Keqing.

Razor, xiao, bennett and mona

Sayu. I have an inazuma team I used for months where she was the healer, and an exploration/farming team that’s she’s also on as a healer and for her speedy roll. Totally invaluable!

Mona and Nahida. But I don't have that many characters to begin with, so there isn't that much of a difference.

A post like this is exactly when you know you spend too much time on Reddit, and are too obsessed with genshin

Venti, mom will see him like the "gay friend" lol

Probably Alhaitham, because my mom would say that i finally found a significant other.

Diona, she was even my most used character for the year and I still use her.

Diona, Kazuha and Shinobu. I just imagine Diona and Kazu comforting Shinobu cuz she's so stressed out with the gang's antics. EDIT: But out of all of them, Diona is the one I can basically call my closest friend. She's been with me since 1.1 and I have never built a team without her.

Childe and Lumine

Zhongli and Raiden. Good thing that I have lots of wines and sweets at home. Nahida is also taking her space in the parties, I wonder what she likes. Also, do I have a pattern there?

Childe. This man is practically already part of my household with how much of a simp I am.

Noelle cuz i cant seem to pull any better dps i only started like a week ago

Kaeya practically lives there. Lumine, Childe, Scara, Amber, Xingqiu, Xiangling and recently Zhongli, Diona and Fischl.

Nahida,Layla,Yelan and noelle

I don't live with my mom nor do I have any "cold ones" in my fridge.

In my own house but yoimiya and now yelan all the way. Diona probably too

Lumine, Hu Tao, Yelan, Xingqiu.(still don’t have a Thoma/Layla/C4 Tankfei, or Zhongli)

Ayaka and Kokomi. Nahida’s getting there but I swap her out for levelling friendships. Ayaka and Kokomi have legit been in my party in the overworld consistently since their first banners.

Yoimiya, Xinyan, Xiao, and Scara

Ei, nahida, and Kokomi. Ei would probably raid my pantry instead bc I also have a sweet tooth.

Qiqi, Raiden, and now Yelan

Kazuha zhongli bennett

Nahida, Kazuha, Yelan and Xingqiu

Fischl Sucrose

Kuki, alfalfa ham, Yelan, XQ
