Nahida has several viable combinations of main stats. The general rule of thumb is that the more EM Main Stats you use, the better ATK%/Crit weapons will perform relatively. DPS & SUPPORT 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 Attack this weapon gives, it has the potential to rival A Thousand Floating Dreams.
The Widsith, Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds, and Solar Pearl: These weapons tend to perform better if Nahida is played on-field.
Skyward Atlas and Memory of Dust: The fewer the reactions Nahida triggers, the more potent these options become.
Favonius Codex: This weapon has the potential to rival A Thousand Floating Dreams if Nahida can actively trigger the passive multiple times by attacking on-field. Favonius Codex also has the potential to be a good weapon on Nahida in teams where her ER 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 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 Deepwood Memories 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.

All Schemes to Know

Lo, the god of grass and trees shines her ultimate truth into the void, illuminating the origin and destruction of the three karmas.

Sends forth karmic bonds of wood and tree from her side, dealing AoE Dendro DMG and marking up to 8 opponents hit with the Seed of Skandha.
When held, this skill will trigger differently.

Seed of Skandha
Opponents who have been marked by the Seed of Skandha will be linked to one another up till a certain distance.

You can trigger at most 1 Tri-Karma Purification within a short period of time.

·Electro: While Nahida remains within the Shrine of Maya, the interval between each Tri-Karma Purification from "All Schemes to Know" is decreased.
·Hydro: The Shrine of Maya's duration is increased.

If there are at least 2 party members of the aforementioned Elemental Types present when the field is deployed, the aforementioned effects will be increased further.

Even if Nahida is not on the field, these bonuses will still take effect so long as party members are within the Shrine of Maya.

For All Knowledge, a Verse

Default

Nahida's outfit. Only the oracles that interpret knowledge may robe the God of Wisdom, and so even the smallest ornament is viewed by believers as holy writ.
