Best Artifacts

(2) Dendro DMG Bonus +15%
(4) After Elemental Skills or Bursts hit opponents, the targets' Dendro RES will be decreased by 30% for 8s. This effect can be triggered even if the equipping character is not on the field.
Best set if no one else wears it. Also removes reliance on other characters if she's the one wearing it.
(2) Increases Elemental Mastery by 80.
(4) Within 8s of triggering an Elemental Reaction, the character equipping this will obtain buffs based on the Elemental Type of the other party members. ATK is increased by 14% for each party member whose Elemental Type is the same as the equipping character, and Elemental Mastery is increased by 50 for every party member with a different Elemental Type. Each of the aforementioned buffs will count up to 3 characters. This effect can be triggered once every 8s. The character who equips this can still trigger its effects when not on the field.
Great if someone else uses Deepwood in the team.
(2) Increases Elemental Skill DMG by 20%.
(4) Increases Elemental Skill DMG by 25%. Additionally, when not on the field, Elemental Skill DMG will be further increased by 25%. This effect will be cleared 2s after taking the field.
Focuses on maximizing Nahida's Elemental Skill DMG with up to 70% DMG Bonus.
(2) Increases Elemental Mastery by 80.
(4) The equipping character's Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Burgeon reaction DMG are increased by 40%. Additionally, after the equipping character triggers Bloom, Hyperbloom, or Burgeon, they will gain another 25% bonus to the effect mentioned prior. Each stack of this lasts 10s. Max 4 stacks simultaneously. This effect can only be triggered once per second. The character who equips this can still trigger its effects when not on the field.
When using Nahida specifically for Bloom teams where she is the trigger, this will be your best option.

Best Stats

Sands

Dendro DMG Bonus / Elemental Mastery
Circlet
Elemental Mastery / CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG
Substats
Energy Recharge / CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG / Elemental Mastery / ATK%
We generally recommend to go for EM/Dendro/EM setup rather than EM/EM/EM as you can still get some EM substats with a Dendro DMG Bonus goblet, but there aren't any DMG Bonus substats with an EM goblet. And even if factoring in the Tri-Karma DMG Bonus from her talent, a maxed EM goblet with 187 EM only provides 18.7% DMG Bonus, while a Dendro goblet will give 46.6%, and even more if you have EM substats on it. Other notes: Nahida can cap the bonuses from EM at 1000 EM, so if you can reach 800 EM before buffs, you can hit 1000 EM when she uses her Burst because of her EM-buffing talent. This is achievable even with EM/Dendro/EM setup.
