Genshin Impact Nilou Guide – 10 Tips and Tricks

If you are planning to play with Nilou in Genshin Impact then wait and read the Genshin Impact Nilou guide as it will help you to become strong.

Nilou is Genshin Impact’s latest 5 star character. Players will want to use Nilou in combat with some of her great weapon options because they can boost up her damage. Knowing some basic things in the beginning will surely give you an advantage in the game and you will have a great time playing with this character. 

Without wasting any more time, here is the Genshin Impact Nilou guide with some of the top tips and tricks you need to know.

Nilou and her Blooms

 The latest character Nilou’s kit consists of the Bloom reaction which is one of the elemental reactions created by Dendro. Dendro is one of the latest elements of the game. Bloom is triggered when Hydro interacts with Dendro. This creates a Dendro core which explores within 5 seconds and deals Dendro DMG within the perimeter of the area around it. 

Nilou can supercharge her bloom reaction by turning Dendro Cores into Bountiful Blooms using her Court of Dancing Petals passive. These Bountiful Blooms explore and deals additional damage based on Nilou’s Max HP. This immediately makes her the second character in the game whose damage fully scales off the HP right after Yelan. 

Genshin Impact Nilou Guide: Elemental Skill

When using her Elemental skill – Dance of Haftkasvar, Nilou enters the ‘Pirouette’ state and can perform three hit combos in any combination of Normal Attack. Furthermore, pressing the Skill button at that time can help you deal with Hydro DMG based on her Max HP. 

When performing her third dance step, the state of ‘Pirouette’ ends for Nilou and she will enter one of the two stances depending on whether she used her Normal Attack or the Skill button at that time- 

• If Normal Attack was used, Nilou enters the ‘Swords Dance’ stance which unleashes a Luminous Illusion . It deals  Hydro DMG to opponents that come in its way. This stance gives Nilou the Lunar Prayer effect, converting her Normal Attacks into Sword Dance techniques which can unleash Luminous Illusions with the final hit of the combo.
• If the Skill button was used, Nilou enters the ‘Whirling Wheel’ stance that unleashes a Whirling Water that deals Hydro DMG within her perimeter of area. It also creates the Tranquility Aura which follows your active character and applies a Wet status to any opponent it touches.

Genshin Impact Nilou Guide: Elemental Burst

Nilou has an Elemental Burst called Dance of Abzendegi: Distant Dreams, Listening Spring,which lets her deal Hydro DMG based on her Max HP within that area. Her bursts might not be a very crucial skill but are good enough for dealing damage and applying Hydro to trigger more Bountiful Blooms. 

Nilou’s Passives

Court of Dancing Petals might be Nilou’s most important passive. But, her other passive, Dreamy Dance of Aeons, advances her HP scaling. This further increases the damage dealt by Bountiful Blooms by 9% for every 1000 points of HP Nilou has over 30,000. 

Since Nilou’s Court of Dancing Petals passive sets limitations on the character, always run Nilou alongside Hydro and Dendro characters. 

Have Hydro character in the team

 Have at least a second Hydro character alongside Niliy to trigger the Hydro Resonance effect. This will increase the character’s damage Max HP by 25% and further boost Nilou’s damage. 

Dendro characters with Nilou

Having two Dendro characters can trigger Dendro Resonance. This will give additional Elementary Mastery which is another way to boost the damage from Bountiful Blooms. 

Using Bountiful Blooms with Dendro cores

Just like regular Dendro Cores, Bountiful Blooms also deal damage to the character. Since there aren’t any Dendro healers in the game, try choosing another Hydro Healer alongside like Sangonomiya Kokomi or Barbara to keep everyone healed.

Having a good team composition

The best team composition (5 star team) including Nilou should consist of Kokomi and Yelan. For a 4 star team, you can include Barbara, Xingqiu, and Collei alongside. 

Weapons to consider

• One of the top options for weapons is the new 5 star sword Key of Khaj-Nisut. It increases the HP and Elementary Mastery of the character which would be one of the best fits with Nilou’s kit by boosting her damage from Bountiful Blooms.
• Another weapon choice which can be good alternatives to the 5-star sword are Primordial Jade Cutter or Freedom Sworn.
• Some of the other weapon choices:

• Xiphos Moonlight (Gacha)
• Iron Sting (Craftable)
• Sacrificial Sword (Gacha)
• Festering Desire (Event only)
• Sapwood Blade (Craftable)

Artifacts to consider and main stats to look at

• The best options amongst artifacts are a combination of the 2-piece Tenacity of the Millelith and the 2-piece of either Heart of Depth, Wanderer’s Trope, or Glided Dreams.
• The main stats to look for in Niliou are Sands, Goblet, and Ciclet are all HP%. For substats, keep an eye for Elemental Mastery, Flat HP, and Energy Recharge.
