Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City will always be the best set for Citlali in Genshin Impact. Being a Natlan character, she can easily trigger the effects to provide the buffs to the entire team.

Prioritize the following for the artifact stats:

Sands	Elemental Mastery
Goblet	Elemental Mastery
Circlet	Elemental Mastery
Sub-stats	Elemental Mastery, Energy Recharge

If you wish to increase Citlali's personal damage output, you can also go for some CRIT stats but prioritizing Elemental Mastery is still advised.

A 4-pc set of Tenacity of the Millelith is also a decent option until you can get a full set of the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City. The 4-pc set can increase Citlali's shield strength and also allow her to buff her party member's ATK.

Focus on the following stats while using Tenacity of the Millelith:

Sands	Elemental Mastery
Goblet	Elemental Mastery
Circlet	Elemental Mastery
Sub-stats	Elemental Mastery, Energy Recharge

3) Two Elemental Mastery sets

Since Citlali's kit scales with Elemental Mastery, you can also use a mix of two sets that give an Elemental Mastery bonus from the 2-pc set, such as Wanderer's Troupe and Gilded Dreams.

The artifact stats for the mixed sets are the same as the previous ones:

Sands	Elemental Mastery
Goblet	Elemental Mastery
Circlet	Elemental Mastery
Sub-stats	Elemental Mastery, Energy Recharge

You can level up Citlali's talents in the following order:

Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst > Normal Attack

Citlali's Elemental Skill is the most important part of her kit since it summons a shield and allows her to deal off-field DMG. You can level up Burst for some extra damage and ignore the Normal Attack talent since you won't need it.
