With Chasca

Zhongli's Jade Shield provides Chasca with 100% interruption resistance, which is essential for maintaining focus during her seeker missile volleys. The 20% RES shred from the shield also increases her Anemo and converted elemental damage against high-resistance targets. This safety net allows Chasca to maximize her Soulstate duration without needing to dodge frequently.

With Albedo

Zhongli forms a powerful Geo resonance duo with Albedo, granting a 15% DMG bonus and increased shield strength for the entire team. His Jade Shield protects Albedo's Solar Isotoma from being destroyed by large enemy hits while providing 20% RES shred for Albedo's off-field Geo procs. This pairing ensures consistent, safe, and high-frequency Geo damage from the backline.
