Weapon Choices

Hakushin Ring: Use only in Quicken or Hyperbloom teams.
Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers: Sacrifices personal damage for team buff. Usable when Nahida's damage share is low.
Prototype Amber: Only if team lacks survivability.
Artifact Sets
Deepwood Memories (4): Best if no other teammate equips it.
Tenacity of the Millelith (4): Best when Deepwood Memories is held elsewhere and Nahida's damage share is low.
