Notes

Nahida can provide both damage, Dendro application, and buffs to her teammates. As such her build is focused on both maximizing her buff and her damage simultaneously.

Regarding Weapon Choices:

Wandering Evenstar: If teammates significantly benefit from the Flat ATK this weapon gives, it has the potential to rival .
The Widsith: This weapon tend to perform better if Nahida is played on-field.
Skyward Atlas: The fewer the reactions Nahida triggers, the more potent this option become.
Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds: This weapon tend to perform better if Nahida is played on-field.
Memory of Dust: The fewer the reactions Nahida triggers, the more potent this option become.
Solar Pearl: This weapon tend to perform better if Nahida is played on-field.
Favonius Codex: This weapon has the potential to rival if Nahida can actively trigger the passive multiple times by attacking on-field. also has the potential to be a good weapon on Nahida in teams where her Energy Recharge requirement is high, or if your team values the additional particles.
Hakushin Ring: This weapon should only be used if Nahida is used in Quicken or Hyperbloom teams.
Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers: This weapon sacrifices a lot of Nahida's personal damage for buffing potential. Generally not worth the trade, but can be usable in teams where Nahida's damage share is already low.
Prototype Amber: Only to be used if the team otherwise lacks survivability.

Regarding Artifact Choices:

Nahida has several viable combinations of main stats. The general rule of thumb is that the more Elemental Mastery Main Stats you use, the better ATK%/Crit weapons will perform relatively.

Sets

Deepwood Memories (4): This is her best set if no one else is wearing this set.
Tenacity of the Millelith (4): In teams where Nahida's damage share is relatively low and there is another holder of and/or no need for the set at all, this can be Nahida's best set.
Flower of Paradise Lost (4): This set is niche, but very powerful in Bloom teams where Nahida triggers the Bloom reaction.

Substats

Energy Recharge: Prioritize until requirements are met.
