Regarding Weapon Choices:
Sapwood Blade: While worse than some other options in terms of shield strength, the Leaf of Consciousness buff can make it a stronger option overall.
Favonius Sword: Kirara's Energy Recharge requirements are generally low, however the passive can still be useful for generating energy for the rest of your team.
Freedom-Sworn: An option in teams which value the buff, though there are generally better users of this weapon.
Regarding Artifact Choices:
Sets
Instructor (4): While worse for shield strength, this set is a great option when using Kirara in Aggravate teams for the teamwide Elemental Mastery buff.

Tenacity of the Millelith (4): This set is an option when using Kirara on-field.
