Below is the best Lisa builds right now. You can keep reading to find out the hows and whys of this particular Lisa build, but if you've used this character before, you'll quickly understand the thought process behind her best weapon and artifact choices.

|---|---|---|---|---|
Electro Support Build | Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds | Solar Pearl | Noblesse Oblige (4 Pieces) | Noblesse Oblige (2 Pieces) & Thundering Fury (2 Pieces) |
Electro Support
Since the idea is to inflict damage using the Elemental Burst as often as possible, weapons like Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds or Solar Pearl are always the best options. If you can’t afford those, the Mappa Mare should suffice as well.
Due to the supportive nature of the whole artifact set, the Noblesse Oblige set is the best choice by far in this context. However, if you want to boost Electro Damage instead of buffing your party, you can always mix some Thundering Fury parts in it.

All the three of them can wreak havoc on the battlefield mixing their different Elemental attacks, while Zhongli shields them from harm.
