Best Artifacts

(2) When a nearby party member triggers a Nightsoul Burst, the equipping character regenerates 6 Elemental Energy.
(4) After the equipping character triggers a reaction related to their Elemental Type, all nearby party members gain a 12% Elemental DMG Bonus for the Elemental Types involved in the elemental reaction for 15s. If the equipping character is in the Nightsoul's Blessing state when triggering this effect, all nearby party members gain an additional 28% Elemental DMG Bonus for the Elemental Types involved in the elemental reaction for 20s. The equipping character can trigger this effect while off-field, and the DMG bonus from Artifact Sets with the same name do not stack.
Best set for Natlan support characters, providing up to 40% DMG Bonus when active.
(2) HP +20%
(4) When an Elemental Skill hits an opponent, the ATK of all nearby party members is increased by 20% and their Shield Strength is increased by 30% for 3s. This effect can be triggered once every 0.5s. This effect can still be triggered even when the character who is using this artifact set is not on the field.
While the 2pc set effect is useless for Citlali, her Frostfall Storm rapid ticks can keep the team-wide 20% ATK and 30% Shield Strength buff in its 4pc set effect active.
(2) Increases Elemental Mastery by 80.
(4) Upon triggering an Elemental Reaction, increases all party members' Elemental Mastery by 120 for 8s.
Provides EM buff for the team for stronger Elemental Reactions, although the base stats for Citlali would be much lower since this is a 4-star set.

Best Stats

Substats

Go for more EM if you want tougher shields. Go for DMG Bonus and CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG if you want to increase her personal DMG (since she has decent multipliers) and the shields aren't important to you.

Nice EM stat and provides a minor ATK buff for the team based on the wearer's EM.
