⚡ Why This Build Works
Zhongli excels as a Shield Support because Best shielder in the game — also provides 20% RES shred.. The combination of Tenacity of the Millelith (4pc) with Staff of Homa (if hybrid) / Black Tassel (pure shield) maximizes their damage output, while the recommended substats (HP% > ER% > CRIT (if hybrid)) ensure optimal stat distribution for the current meta.
