congrats on getting zhongli!! he's great
Full shield bot build:
Tenacity of the milelith set - full HP artifacts
Black Tassel or Favonius Lance
Talent priority: Skill > Burst
Burst support build (the one I'm using):
Emblem set - ATK%/HP% sands, Geo Dmg goblet, Crit rate/dmg circlet
Pretty much all typical dps spears are useable for this one
fav lance and the catch are pretty good too
Talent priority: Burst > Skill
Physical dps build:
Pale flame set - ATK%/HP% sands, Phys Dmg goblet, Crit rate/dmg circlet
Crescent pike
Talent priority: NA > Burst > Skill
wouldn't recommend physical dps since imo zhongli's main points are his support capabilities, but if you want him to be your main dps, it's still a great option
