Best Weapons
by calculated performance
Red Spring
R1BestCamellya's Signature is strong on a lot of Sword users, but is in particular designed for her since a lot of extra Basic Attack DMG Bonus is only exploitable if Camellya's Concerto is spent mid-rotation, which is a mechanic only she has access to, making it the best for her by a lot.
100.0%

Emerald Sentence
R1Qiuyuan's Signature is a surprisingly good alternative to Camellya's since it sports the same base stats and places a particular emphasis on Echo Skill DMG, which Camellya does a lot more of than most other characters. Also buffs the whole party's Echo Skill DMG, but generally that is negligible.
90.1%

Frostburn
R1Simple ATK and CRIT Rate stat-stick for Camellya, who does not benefit from this weapon's Glacio Chafe-related effects.
89.5%

Everbright Polestar
R1Simple DMG Bonus and CRIT Rate stat-stick for Camellya, who does not benefit from this weapon's Tune Rupture/Fusion Burst-related effects.
89.4%

Emerald of Genesis
R1Best permanent option for Camellya, providing her with CRIT Rate, Energy Regen and some ATK% boosts when casting Skill. Since Camellya only needs a tiny bit of Energy Regen (attributed by default at random in our calculations), this does not come into play and overall is a tiny bit weaker value-wise than above options but still an excellent alternative to her Signature overall.

5-Piece Sonata
Havoc Eclipse

Offers a 10% unconditional ATK% boost and an additional 5% ATK% for every 1.5 seconds the equipped character has been in combat, up to 20% after 6 seconds, totalling 30% additional ATK% after fully ramped. This set almost almost loses out to most characters signature elemental sets, but is generically usable across all damage characters regardless of their element.

Camellya build summary
Red Spring is the weapon to build around. Without it, Emerald Sentence, Frostburn and Everbright Polestar are the next picks, in that order. Feather Edge is the budget option.
On the Havoc Eclipse set, run CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG on the 4-cost, Havoc DMG on the 3-cost, ATK% ≥ Havoc DMG on the 3-cost and ATK% on both 1-costs. Substats in priority order: Energy Regen (Until Satisfied) > CRIT Rate = CRIT DMG > ATK% > Basic DMG% > ATK.
The Resonance Chain nodes worth pulling for are S6 (+250% Forte DMG), S2 (+120% Skill DMG) and S3 (+58% ATK). Level Res. Skill → Forte Circuit → Res. Liberation → Intro Skill → Basic Attack.
Ascension needs 46× Topological Confinement above everything else, and the full build — ascension plus every forte node — costs 2,200,000 Shell Credits.
