Timing to counter things, elemental shields, having to move around to collect the crystals. It's all relative though. The rest of the game is just "mash, wait for cooldown".

See, I consider it the opposite. Without a shield, you have to dodge. To dodge you need stamina. To have stamina, you need to not mash charged attacks or animation cancels or whatever. You also have to think harder about what you're doing. With a shield, you just press the button and stand there and face tank. My attentiveness to the game took a dive once I start using Zhongli. Literally just "oh, I'm taking damage. Lemme put the shield back up."

Now, enemies having shields, okay, sure. That adds a sort of depth because you might be effectively locked out of using one character. But character shields? Nah.
