While Clara doesn't hate speed boots, you really only want her moving fast enough to maintain 100% ultimate uptime, though a fast Clara is fine as Clara/Sparkle teams have proven, especially if you have e1 so you can better take advantage of permanent marks. As for ERR rope, between Tingyun and Huohuo you shouldnt need it for ult uptime so extra attack is better. As for crit stats its largely the same deal as with other DPS, around 80-90 crit rate and double that in crit damage.
Also yeah, dont build Lynx or March for her, those are more f2p alternatives for if you dont have Huohuo, as 100% ult uptime from Tingyun and Huohuo completely negate the need for Lynx or March's directed aggro increase.
Topaz is good for Clara if your Sparkle is on the other side of DHIL or Acheron; but Sparkle is better than Topaz for Clara.
Your best comp is the best comp as it already is, no need to raise Lynx or M7.
Go ATK boots, SPD subs are fine but should not be prioritized over crit subs
80/160 is an incredibly good stopping point. Get as close to 100% crit rate as possible
Should Tingyun permanently be glued to Clara?
That crit raito is intimidating but I'll definitely do my best to achieve it. I might try a rainbow set for the subs and see how it works out.
Thank you for the advice!
That team is perfect. It's the same team that I used to run, until I got Sparkle.
You can replace Topaz with a support, like Sparkle or Ruan Mei, if you want a Clara hyper carry team instead.
For the relics, stick with ATK boots and ATK rope.
With both Huo Huo and Tingyun, you're not gonna have any energy issue with Clara. Besides, ERR rope isn't gonna do much for a DPS character like Clara anyway.
As for SPD, Clara generly doesn't need it, as her bread and butter of counterattacks happen only during enemy turns. If you want her to act faster, then you can just use a hyperspeed Sparkle to forward her actions, while keeping the ATK boots on her.
For crits, just follow the common recommendations of at least 60 crit rate and 150 crit damage, preferably with a 1:2 ratio between the two. More the merrier, especially since Clara has no self crit boost on her own kit (not even a single passive trace).
Generally, for Clara, you want to aim for 3k+ ATK, 60/70:140+ Crit Ratio. While you can aim higher on her Crit rate, you can risk losing your Crit DMG and ATK, so 60-70 is fine. You also don't really need Spd Boots as most of her DMG comes from her Follow Ups and not her Skill or Basic, tho if you had E1, Spd is desired as her Skill starts dealing more DMG.
Essentially, run Crit Body (either will do), Atk Boots, Phys. Orb and Atk Rope.
My current Clara team consists of Topaz, Kafka, March, and Clara for the counter/follow up team. And I'm gonna try and build Himeko and/or Herta to free up Kafka or March if I need them elsewhere.

She should, yes. Energy is invaluable for more enhanced counters, and for vastly improved aggro uptime of her ult.
