Yun Jin vs Zhongli
The Normal Attack specialist vs. the ultimate protector
TL;DR — Quick Pick
Pick Yun Jin if…
- When you already have a shielder and need more Normal Attack damage
- In a Geo resonance team where you want to maximize Yoimiya or Ayato
- If you have C6 and need the attack speed increase
Pick Zhongli if…
- In any team that needs absolute protection from damage
- When you need universal resistance shred for any element
- For the most comfortable, low-stress gameplay experience in the game
Zhongli is arguably the best support in the game for comfort and universal utility. Yun Jin is a niche specialist who only wins when you specifically need to boost Normal Attack numbers beyond what a shield provides.

Shared Team Members
With Yun Jin
Yun Jin is a premier buffer for Yoimiya, utilizing her burst to add a massive flat DMG bonus to every one of Yoimiya's firework arrows. This synergy is further enhanced at C6, where Yun Jin provides an ATK speed bonus that lets Yoimiya fire even more shots.
With Zhongli
Zhongli provides the essential Jade Shield that allows Yoimiya to complete her full N5 attack string without being staggered by enemies. This protection is critical because her highest damage multipliers are at the very end of her normal attack sequence.
