Genshin Impact’s Nilou is both a beautiful dancer and a formidable driver of the Bloom reaction. She does come with some caveats, though. It may be a challenge for even veteran players to build and use her to the best of her ability. Read on for more information on how to shine a spotlight on this gracious artist.
Nilou’s Playstyle in Genshin Impact
Nilou’s passive skill, Court of Dancing Petals, really limits her potential teams to those centered around the Bloom reaction. Even though enabling Bloom teams seems to be her only potential function, we can assure you she does it well.
Nilou can be played as either the Main or Sub DPS depending on how you use her elemental skill. Use it once, then do a string of normal attacks to have Nilou deal serious damage on-field. If you use her elemental skill three times in succession instead, she’ll produce a water ring to set up further Bloom reactions. Then you can send her off-field in favor of another DPS teammate while her water ring remains.
Best Weapons for Nilou in Genshin Impact
Nilou’s Best-in-Slot weapon is theKey of Khaj-Nisut. It’s a five-star weapon designed just for her and is only available via the Weapon Event wish banner. It serves to provide a healthy boost to both her HP and her Elemental Mastery stats.
If you don’t want to roll on the Weapon Banner,Iron Stingis a great, craftable option for Nilou that will significantly boost her Elemental Mastery and damage. You could also use theSacrificial Swordif you have it to help with her Elemental Skill.
Best Artifacts for Nilou in Genshin Impact
The Artifact sets you’ll choose for Nilou will largely depend on how you’ll want to play her. If you want Nilou to be the Main DPS in a team and on-field, the four pieceGilded Dreamsset should work well for you. If you want to use her as a Sub-DPS, any two piece combination ofTenacity of the Millelithwith eitherWanderer’s Troupe,Gilded Dreams, orHeart of Depthwill do.
The main stats and sub-stats you’ll want to aim for in your artifacts will vary on her role in in a team. If you want her to be a Main DPS, CRIT, Hydro damage, and Elemental Mastery may provide greater value than HP. A Sub-DPS build will probably benefit from sacrificing some CRIT values and Hydro damage in favor of more HP and Elemental Mastery.
