@@DINGOlord imo none of these characters can be compared to nilou. nilou buffs a reaction meaning u just need to build em on your bloom trigger and stack hp on nilou while chevy, navia and emilie give a buff to themselfs/a party member if a correct elemental reaction is triggered. the former dont enable reactions, just further buff characters with good numbers.
@@dot2604 as the video already mentioned, bloom ownership in Nilou's team is pretty hard to pinpoint on one character due to the nature of the reaction itself (unless you use the specific team comp with only 1 dendro or 1 hydro), so you cannot just "build EM on your bloom trigger", you'll have to build EM on your bloom triggerS, meaning your whole team. People comparing Nilou with Chevreuse or Navia or Emilie is due to the fact they utilize reaction that is not inherently strong. The difference is just that for Nilou's team, only EM and HP is needed, which could be seen as easier to invest in than crit values for the other niche reaction teams. But in the end, every team needs characters with good numbers to truly shine. And just a piece of my personal thought here, Chevreuse can definitely be compared to Nilou. She utilizes a pretty trashy reaction for an immense buff for pyro/electro dps that suffers from the ICD (Yoimiya, Arlecchino and Raiden come to mind) It's refreshing to see new variants around "standard" dps, instead of just slaves to the Vaporize and Aggravate teams. I know Arlec or Raiden doesn't need Chevreuse to be broken af, but a buff is still a buff, especially if it's a good buff.
@@NickIsMe171 the investment needed for nilou teams to be good is way lower than farming dmg sets for typical dps characters. im not impressed with chevy bc she favours characters that already have good numbers.. and i still dont think shes that similar to nilou. her teams may be unconventional but the way that u build your units is still the same
@@dot2604 I wouldn't say investment for Nilou's team is that lower. Unlike hyperbloom team where you only need one dedicated full EM character, in Nilou's team you need all 4 to have considerable EM (unless you have Key of Khaj-Nisut) Farming for crits and farming for EM to me are just equally painful. Yes Chevvy may favours characters with already good numbers, but not really in a typical way. Pyro often relies on vaporize (or more uncommonly, melt) to get good numbers, and those who cannot fully utilize reaction due to ICD suffer a lot (except Arlecchino, she has good numbers on her own, though still partly thanks to Bennett) A similar situation is with Electro and Aggravate (the only true exception so far is Raiden, though she still needs C6 Sara and possibly C2 as well to be really broken) Chevvy opens up a whole new team archetype for Pyro and Electro where EM is completely not needed, lessening the hassle for investment a lot. Nilou makes bloom useful without hyperbloom or burgeon, Chevvy makes overload useful. That's why I say the comparison is still reasonable here.
Nilou is the only character that makes me realize how much I miss Sumeru and love it in general. She's so nostalgic to me. Thankfully I got her and 3 copies of her weapon in just 25k primos. I really want to buy her skin but I have no money. Maybe someday 💙
I'll be pulling for her. I'm really nervous though because I'm literally on the 50/50 on my account. I'm also going to get her new outfit if I manage to get her. 😊
anyone who said Nilou fell off literally doesn't play this game. she got the opposite of Venti treatment where every abyss after her release made her more and more viable
Dockhand Assistant is a limited 4 star weapon but so is Xiphos Moonlight, so it's also as difficult to obtain. And up till now, Xiphos has constantly been featured on the same banner as Key of Khaj Nisut.
Yup! I don't expect many people to have Xiphos' either, but at least its a lot older as a Sumeru weapon instead of a Fontaine Weapon and it also has F2P replacements that give the same amount of EM for the main stat. We really need another HP% sword outside of Dockhand and Nilou's signature 😭
@@Meowreii I agree so much we need more HP% weapons. I don't suppose the Natlan craftables will come with those but it's a missed opportunity the Fontaine ones are mostly Atk% except for the HP% Polearm. Edit: Xiphos Moonlight is once again confirmed coming in the weapon banner with Key.
For 3H1D archetype, you can also use Baizhu as a driver, in fact he's better than Alhaitham since he heals/shields and opens up the 4th slot into a non-healer unit that can buff the whole team like Yelan with elegy bow. Otherwise great vid.
This is true! Baizhu is very tanky as well with his healer build so there's a lot less pressure of dying. My only complaint with Baizhu is that he lacks any sort of meaningful AoE, with really just a 3 target attack on a 10 second cooldown on his skill. Definitely some upsides and downsides 😄
Small note, to get the max 400% bonus damage from her A4 passive, you need to push to 75,000 hp. While maths says 74,444 is all you need, the last 9% wont be calculated unless you break the 1,000 hp requirement. Hence, 75,000 needed for maximum benefits. Tho 391% boost is already massive enough...
Great guide! The part on the bloom ownership was very clear and i finally undestood it, also i love trying random teams with Nilou and she's really fun!
i pulled for nilou on a rerun (maybe her second??) cos she looked pretty and i was NEW to the game, i didnt plan to get her and i didnt know how to play her at all.... i play her now based of this guide.... THANKS!!!!!! :3
oof no tightnari mention? i know he's made for spread but he makes a ton of cores just by himself in triple hydro, been loving him again since pulling his c1 with nilou 😆
in tripple hydro hydro is still the trigger especially with nahida with baizhu/alhaitem it becomes more mixed if your using xq or yelan and reverts back to mostly being from the hydros when you use furina
For the 2 Hydro + 2 Dendro without a healer, could you use a shielder like kirara?? Especially because her shield can tank extra damage because dendro.
Your guides are really great for understanding characters! Thanks to you I feel like playing some of them in teams I didn't even think of^^ Could you do an updated guide on Kaeya if you're interested? I didn't find one on your account and would love to see you explain it😊
It makes sense in lore why Nahida would work best when you want a Dendro character on your Nilou team. She was one of if not THE only playable character that still believed in her in the Archon quest.
Something I wonder that I still don't have a clear answer to: why does dendro sometimes not reapply/vanish without a reaction? I play a bloom team with Nilou and generally I set up Nilous skill, then link enemies, then start throwing hydro at them and every time I do, Tri-Karma triggers and reapplies dendro and I can just keep doing my rotation and get multiple reactions off like this. However, there are strange occurences that have me scratch my head where Tri-Karma/dendro only applies once or twice and then it stops, while enemies are still marked and the hydro won't create blooms anymore. Why does the dendro sometimes just stop applying very quickly? I know part of the answer is when enemies aren't linked, I have seen this issue consistently with single-target battles. However, the strange thing is that it also sometimes, say 1 in 5 times, happen with groups, where dendro just vanishes and doesn't reapply unless I switch back to nahida prematurely to reapply manually.
Im one of the oldest Nilou fans. Wanted her since the very first blurry 2 second leak of her skill about 3 months before her release. I remember everyone saying she will be bad because she is too niche. She clears enemies faster than my Ayaka team and that is a lot considering she is C2S1 triple crowned and 54/266 crit.
When Nilou reran in 3.6, I skipped her and got her weapon (huge crime, i'm sorry) instead for a certain green catgirl, basing my decision on certain "sources". I ended up getting two Nilou swords out of that, which I've determined was a sign to rectify that wrong on her return and unite a masterless weapon with its owner.
I have a couple questions: How long does Nilou's Bontiful cores effect last, 12s or 30s? Her passive info is just confusing 😅 Wich build does Nahida preffer in bloom? Full EM or her usual dmg buld?
Bro I got her by accident at 20 pity on my guaranteed and im so sad cuz i was saving for kinich but i gotta make the most of my situation so time to nilou grind
THAT PERFECT JAPANESE PRONOUNCIATION ON TOUKABOU SHIGURE WAS THICC ALSO TY BECAUSE I WAS THIS CLOSE TO NOT PULL FOR NILOU'S SIGNATURE WEAPON,AND THEN I SAW THE DIFFERENCE, AND I WAS LIKE "oop- let me just" *credit card sound intesifies
Would Barbara Nilou Dendro MC and Kirara make a good team? I don't want to build them if not but im not the best at doing teams so if anyone could tell me I would appreciate it!
I’m building my Nilou as a DPS because I love her and I have no Dendro or Hydro DPS that are easy to build other than Nilou. My team is Sub DPS Nahida, DPS Nilou, Healer YaoYao, and Sub DPS Xingqiu. Xingqiu is C2 and YaoYao is C1 while Nilou and Nahida are both C0. Everyone is fully built except for YaoYao who is just missing an hp goblet.
I'm saving for Nilou cause I got bored and decided to build my Chile to achieve 1k em and just pair him with Nahida because both have insane application for multiple targets, right now tartagles chores can make like 23k and I want to see how much I can do by adding Nilou to the mix
We Don't Talk About Childe... Like literally, no one mentions him but I have been wanting to do this since Nilou came out. I haven't ever been able to get her but I should be able to this time.
I have been running a team with Nilou C2, Yelan, XQ and Kaveh C6. Almost all Bloom ownership goes to Kaveh thanks to his C6 and slowish dendro app. C2 Nilou makes the damage from Blooms and the other Hydros skyrocket and, since every1 but Kaveh is barely on the field I dont need a healer. It is one of my strongest teams, bar some scenarios like enemies with annoying shields or enemies weak only to some other element.
call me a madman, but I use Hydro MC with Nilou (+ Yaoyao and Nahi). I use them interchangeably: apply the dendro, Nilou NA3, HMC Skill. I don't have any guidelines when it comes to bursts, so I just use them whenever I deem it necessary, like in abyss or boss fight.
I always loved Nilou's design, but never had the need to pull for her. Maybe I can main her in my alternate account (all f2p) but really looking forward to see her in the Summer Event!
Nilou is ❤ for me. Got her in early pity out of nowhere when she was released and from that time she is my one of the best characters, cleared my first abyss 36 stars with her bloom team ❤ nothing can replace her in bloom team 😇😇
One Nilou team that I think also worth mentioning is healerless Nilou team consisting of Nilou, Kaveh, Nahida on prototype amber and either Xingqiu or Furina. This is by far strongest Kaveh+Nilou team and it's surprisingly tanky due to Kaveh's self-sustain combined with p amber additional healing. I also like it for how well rotation of this team flows.
Huge piece of incorrect info. There is a way to make sure one person is the bloom trigger 90% of the time. The stronger AOE setup with 2hydro 2dendro. If you have Nahida as an off field dendro means your onfielder being either Koko or Barbara/Ayato or any onfield hydro with good application should not build Healing Bonus /HP or Crit Attack but EM/EM/EM. Nahida applies enough off field dendro with the assistance of another off field dendro character that most of the bloom is done by Koko since her jelly fish is faster than Nilou’s ring in conjunction with her Normal attacks she will have ownership of almost all the blooms with Nilou yoinking a minority of them.
yo nice guide but i need suggestion on my team comp as my nilou is currently capped at 64k hp and kokomi having ocean clam set and nahida with 900EM also dendro mc with full em set but bloom damage still hit upto 20k what should I improve here
Another special case team: Nilou nahida kaveh xingqiu Where prototype amber is on nahida, kaveh full EM instructor forest regalia and xingqiu dmg reduction small heals are enough to survive.
It looks stupid but trust me it works. You can pair Nilou with Arlechino, Nilou ring can apply enough hydro for Arlechino to vape her normal attack (since Arlechono NA follows normal ICD) But you need to hug the enemy for Nilou's skill to "hit" the enemy It is a trick from the Genshin tournament when all the hydro applicators get banned or picked already
@@feyandhisstuff9888 I guess it is I don't know how fast Barbara can apply hydro since it got -nerfed- fixed by hoyo last time But Barbara apply wet on the active character, sometimes will be annoying when facing cryo enemy, her skill radius is pretty much non existent you gotta maintain skinship with the enemy, and also her heal doesn't work on Arlecchino
@@Rockfello His constellations only enables AFK playstyle (aka never swap to him). You just need to poke enemies with his normal attacks for him to work here. Build full EM if you want,
Super tanky which puts a lot of pressure off survivability compared to Nahida/Alhaitham, and frees up your hydro healer! Solid pick, but my only gripe with on-field Baizhu is his lack of AoE.
since most blooms are triggered by hydro, its better to keep a full EM kokomi (or barbara) onfield for more bloom damage, and Baizhu can stay offield and give buffs to these drivers for bit more bloom damage. Nilou Kokomi Baizhu Nahida is comfy and strong. 🥳
currently im using dark iron sword on nilou, i think it have decent weapon skill and substat, just really low base stat. How much the difference between dark iron and favonius sword?
I got Nillous weapon on my 50/50 lost for Naivas weapon, I have furina with weapon, nuvi, Mona,C2 childe my only 5-hydros I don’t have any 5star dendro, should I get her because I’m guaranteed if I pull, I have 30 wishes as of right now but I could get her if I kept farming. CHAT, DO I GET HER??
I used the triple hydro one dendro team using Nilou nahida xingque and Barbara Nahida was on field but the problem is nahida applies alot of dendro on field resulting in continuous dendro auro on the enemy and xingque procs the blooms, this resulting in a lot less damage per bloom and my xingque is not built with EM what should I do?
nahida kokomi collei is basically her best in the vast majority of scenarios with nahida em build kokomi hybrid build and collei emblem crit build, but really anything works as long as the main character whos doing reactions has decent em and a healer is on the team
Great vid bro! Can I ask if I do hyperbloom, nahida, ayato, shinobu, Basically I want my ayato to be onfield more so should I build him pure EM All? Or crit??? And also at nahida the 3 hydro and 1 dendro you said, so pure EM on nahida no crit?
I was thinking on runnin 4x FoPL full EM Mona with her, maybe w/ sacrificial fragment to reposition her E, mainly because my Mona has stayed unused for a long time and I want to pick her up again. Dendros Yaoyao and Kirara maybe, or yaoyao and Nahida.
I have Key of Khaj-Nisut but I'll already put it on my furina and am not thinking of getting rid of it anytime soon, andI don't have and hp sword so my best opsions are em. Will slapping The freedom sword (Kazuha sign. weapon) on Nilou work?
the thing is, furina has options other than key that aren't significantly worse than key, whereas nilou with an hp weapon is an entire world of difference
I got Nilou on my 50/50 although I didn’t want her but now I am building her f2p team with C1 Barbara and I hope it do damage than my Furina team as I don’t have a good healer for her. Sadly no Nahida for me and I think it will be the case until next year
I'm thinking about pulling Nilou just for buffing my Kokomi and letting me use her as on field driver. I'm thinking about following team: Nilou, Nahida, Furina and Kokomi. Is this going to work well?
Nilou and Kokomi has always been great on release, it's just the vast majority of players are just too short sighted to see it. Week one of Nilou release a CN TC showed that her team can clear the Ruin Serpent abyss 3* without even leveling and equipping her, she's the least investment highest return character in the game.
Isn’t paradise still better?, you can achieve 50-55k hp without 2pc 2pc and when I tested the cores would do 20k with 2pc 2pc but with paradise I would do 25k
How should I build for mono hydro? I'm going to be using C0R0 Nilou, C2R0 Furina, C0R0 Yelan and C0R0 Xianyun. My Furina uses the pipe and both Yelan and Xianyun use Favonius. I'm thinking of using Harbinger on her since I don't have an HP or Furina's sword and my only 5-star sword (Mistsplitter) is on Keqing and will never move.
Do you happen to have Baizhu? I have a rather invested account so I run C2Furina-C1Yelan-C2Baizhu-C0Nilou(on field), but I plan on getting her C2 this coming rerun for her Dendro/Hydro resistance shred. I'm currently running Nilou w/Key and the Hunter's set (HP%/HP%/Crit circlet). This team works well because it has strong single target damage w/ some passive AOE triggered by Baizhu's burst creating blooms and Nilou's skill attack is a ranged directional attack. For her stat's I'm around 60k hp, 33% CR and 176% CD. I should also note that I run Baizhu on hybrid build (EM/HP%/HP%) with an EM weapon. Hope this helps you some!
Harbinger would be your best option here unless you have a spare Wolf Fang. Mistsplitter is worse than Harbinger on her anyways, so that weapon being unavailable isn't an issue.
will a team consisting with nilou, dendro mc, yelan, nahida be enough to actually clear spiral abyss? (since I have a pretty decent navia build for the other side)
QUESTION: My current nahida team consists of c2r1 nahida, yelan, xingqiu, and kuki. Would a nilou bloom team deal more dmge than my current hyperbloom team? Tnx for the reply.
Bloom is better for AoE, hyperbloom is better for single target Nilou bloom purely depends on her HP + how optimal your rotations are, it may or may not outdo hyperbloom in single target My Kuki does 27k per hyperbloom core at lv 80 so I'm assuming yours does roughly 30k An average Nilou core does anything between 15-30k based on how much EM you have in your team on average (core ownership is usually all characters as mentioned) You produce bloom cores faster in Nilou teams because you have more hydro/dendro application so on average, I'd say Nilou's team will do roughly as hyperbloom in single target but way more in AoE
Is there a Nahida + Nilou team without Alhaithaim/Kokomi/Ayato/Neuvilette/Baizhu where Nahida doesn't need Full EM? Maybe like Nahida / Nilou / YaoYao EM / XQ?

Unlike hyperbloom team where you only need one dedicated full EM character, in Nilou's team you need all 4 to have considerable EM (unless you have Key of Khaj-Nisut) Farming for crits and farming for EM to me are just equally painful.
Yes Chevvy may favours characters with already good numbers, but not really in a typical way. Pyro often relies on vaporize (or more uncommonly, melt) to get good numbers, and those who cannot fully utilize reaction due to ICD suffer a lot (except Arlecchino, she has good numbers on her own, though still partly thanks to Bennett) A similar situation is with Electro and Aggravate (the only true exception so far is Raiden, though she still needs C6 Sara and possibly C2 as well to be really broken) Chevvy opens up a whole new team archetype for Pyro and Electro where EM is completely not needed, lessening the hassle for investment a lot.
Nilou makes bloom useful without hyperbloom or burgeon, Chevvy makes overload useful. That's why I say the comparison is still reasonable here.
Nilou is the only character that makes me realize how much I miss Sumeru and love it in general. She's so nostalgic to me. Thankfully I got her and 3 copies of her weapon in just 25k primos. I really want to buy her skin but I have no money. Maybe someday 💙
I'll be pulling for her. I'm really nervous though because I'm literally on the 50/50 on my account. I'm also going to get her new outfit if I manage to get her. 😊
anyone who said Nilou fell off literally doesn't play this game. she got the opposite of Venti treatment where every abyss after her release made her more and more viable
This guide is perfect ! Clear, short and straight to the point ! Thanks a lot it helped maximise my Nilou build :)
Thank you for this! I already knew how to build her and her team and stuff I just really needed another nilou video to watch because I love her sm
Dockhand Assistant is a limited 4 star weapon but so is Xiphos Moonlight, so it's also as difficult to obtain. And up till now, Xiphos has constantly been featured on the same banner as Key of Khaj Nisut.
Yup! I don't expect many people to have Xiphos' either, but at least its a lot older as a Sumeru weapon instead of a Fontaine Weapon and it also has F2P replacements that give the same amount of EM for the main stat.
We really need another HP% sword outside of Dockhand and Nilou's signature 😭
@@Meowreii I agree so much we need more HP% weapons. I don't suppose the Natlan craftables will come with those but it's a missed opportunity the Fontaine ones are mostly Atk% except for the HP% Polearm.
Edit: Xiphos Moonlight is once again confirmed coming in the weapon banner with Key.
For 3H1D archetype, you can also use Baizhu as a driver, in fact he's better than Alhaitham since he heals/shields and opens up the 4th slot into a non-healer unit that can buff the whole team like Yelan with elegy bow. Otherwise great vid.
This is true! Baizhu is very tanky as well with his healer build so there's a lot less pressure of dying. My only complaint with Baizhu is that he lacks any sort of meaningful AoE, with really just a 3 target attack on a 10 second cooldown on his skill. Definitely some upsides and downsides 😄
Loving her new skin. Been hooked since I first laid eyes on her over two years ago 😍😍😍😍
Small note, to get the max 400% bonus damage from her A4 passive, you need to push to 75,000 hp.
While maths says 74,444 is all you need, the last 9% wont be calculated unless you break the 1,000 hp requirement. Hence, 75,000 needed for maximum benefits.
Tho 391% boost is already massive enough...
This is the best guide video i’ve ever seen and i’ve playing this game since 1.3
"That don't built Crit" Meanwhile me using DPS Nilou since her launch
My Neuvilette artifacts are Nilou pieces when I’m feeling freaky 🥴
DPS Nilou + Furina is completely superfluous, but fun nevertheless
So quirky and cool
I have been going back and forth since launch. She’s great in many ways
Same. I never really bothered with bloom.
@@GuranPurin so what artifacts do you run on nilou as a crit built actually lol what all do you use exactly
Great guide! The part on the bloom ownership was very clear and i finally undestood it, also i love trying random teams with Nilou and she's really fun!
Very well done you explained Bloom Queen and Co. Perfectly 👍
If I wouldn't already know all of this then you taught me something new 👏
i pulled for nilou on a rerun (maybe her second??) cos she looked pretty and i was NEW to the game, i didnt plan to get her and i didnt know how to play her at all.... i play her now based of this guide.... THANKS!!!!!! :3
This is exactly what I needed to know. No one LITERALLY explained how everything works. You’re amazing. Subscribed.
oof no tightnari mention? i know he's made for spread but he makes a ton of cores just by himself in triple hydro, been loving him again since pulling his c1 with nilou 😆
this is such a great video. thank you. Nilous just been chilling in my off roster. I need to fix her.
Got 0 pity navia.. now time to grind for Nilou!
I thought the only people who went in depth like this was zyox and braxophone... congrats u get a sub from me
Bro i was just pulling for navia and just for fun i pulled 1 time for nilou and got her so now im building her👍🏿
I learned quite a bit from this video even after watch a few others. Thank you for the info!
This is my first video watching you and you already sold me having Kokomi c6r5 (that's my dream goal in the game)
Thanks a lot for the guide I understand so much more now!!
6:38 bros cultured by the way he said the name of the sword
in tripple hydro hydro is still the trigger especially with nahida with baizhu/alhaitem it becomes more mixed if your using xq or yelan and reverts back to mostly being from the hydros when you use furina
I just won the 50/50 and got nilou and I am so so excited to build her!
For the 2 Hydro + 2 Dendro without a healer, could you use a shielder like kirara?? Especially because her shield can tank extra damage because dendro.
I've seen many use it and it seems pretty good, if u struggle tho just give nahida the healing Catalyst
Small correction, the 3.6 set IS dehyas BiS still
100k bloom explosions are way too satisfying to give up ❤
Your guides are really great for understanding characters! Thanks to you I feel like playing some of them in teams I didn't even think of^^
Could you do an updated guide on Kaeya if you're interested?
I didn't find one on your account and would love to see you explain it😊
i never knew the actual hp cap for her talent, good to know mine has 75k and hits max dmg
It makes sense in lore why Nahida would work best when you want a Dendro character on your Nilou team. She was one of if not THE only playable character that still believed in her in the Archon quest.
also, thank you for the guide(from a new Nilou owner)
Something I wonder that I still don't have a clear answer to:
why does dendro sometimes not reapply/vanish without a reaction?
I play a bloom team with Nilou and generally I set up Nilous skill, then link enemies, then start throwing hydro at them and every time I do, Tri-Karma triggers and reapplies dendro and I can just keep doing my rotation and get multiple reactions off like this.
However, there are strange occurences that have me scratch my head where Tri-Karma/dendro only applies once or twice and then it stops, while enemies are still marked and the hydro won't create blooms anymore.
Why does the dendro sometimes just stop applying very quickly? I know part of the answer is when enemies aren't linked, I have seen this issue consistently with single-target battles. However, the strange thing is that it also sometimes, say 1 in 5 times, happen with groups, where dendro just vanishes and doesn't reapply unless I switch back to nahida prematurely to reapply manually.
Im one of the oldest Nilou fans. Wanted her since the very first blurry 2 second leak of her skill about 3 months before her release. I remember everyone saying she will be bad because she is too niche. She clears enemies faster than my Ayaka team and that is a lot considering she is C2S1 triple crowned and 54/266 crit.
any team clearing faster than an ayaka team is a low bar
When Nilou reran in 3.6, I skipped her and got her weapon (huge crime, i'm sorry) instead for a certain green catgirl, basing my decision on certain "sources". I ended up getting two Nilou swords out of that, which I've determined was a sign to rectify that wrong on her return and unite a masterless weapon with its owner.
I have a couple questions:
How long does Nilou's Bontiful cores effect last, 12s or 30s? Her passive info is just confusing 😅
Wich build does Nahida preffer in bloom? Full EM or her usual dmg buld?
Seeing this in my reccomended after pulling Khaj-Nisut for my Nilou from the compensation ten pull
First time seeing one of your videos and i gotta say this was top tier in every way. Definitely got a new sub
I got her weapon back in 3.1 so i pulled for her and so far she’s a really strong character ngl
Bro I got her by accident at 20 pity on my guaranteed and im so sad cuz i was saving for kinich but i gotta make the most of my situation so time to nilou grind
I have a dockhands assistant and used to use it in Furina before getting the fishing weapon
THAT PERFECT JAPANESE PRONOUNCIATION ON TOUKABOU SHIGURE WAS THICC
ALSO TY BECAUSE I WAS THIS CLOSE TO NOT PULL FOR NILOU'S SIGNATURE WEAPON,AND THEN I SAW THE DIFFERENCE, AND I WAS LIKE "oop- let me just"
*credit card sound intesifies
Would Barbara Nilou Dendro MC and Kirara make a good team? I don't want to build them if not but im not the best at doing teams so if anyone could tell me I would appreciate it!
yeah it would be better if you could add nahida tho
I’m building my Nilou as a DPS because I love her and I have no Dendro or Hydro DPS that are easy to build other than Nilou. My team is Sub DPS Nahida, DPS Nilou, Healer YaoYao, and Sub DPS Xingqiu. Xingqiu is C2 and YaoYao is C1 while Nilou and Nahida are both C0. Everyone is fully built except for YaoYao who is just missing an hp goblet.
I'm saving for Nilou cause I got bored and decided to build my Chile to achieve 1k em and just pair him with Nahida because both have insane application for multiple targets, right now tartagles chores can make like 23k and I want to see how much I can do by adding Nilou to the mix
We Don't Talk About Childe... Like literally, no one mentions him but I have been wanting to do this since Nilou came out. I haven't ever been able to get her but I should be able to this time.
I have been running a team with Nilou C2, Yelan, XQ and Kaveh C6.
Almost all Bloom ownership goes to Kaveh thanks to his C6 and slowish dendro app. C2 Nilou makes the damage from Blooms and the other Hydros skyrocket and, since every1 but Kaveh is barely on the field I dont need a healer.
It is one of my strongest teams, bar some scenarios like enemies with annoying shields or enemies weak only to some other element.
call me a madman, but I use Hydro MC with Nilou (+ Yaoyao and Nahi). I use them interchangeably: apply the dendro, Nilou NA3, HMC Skill. I don't have any guidelines when it comes to bursts, so I just use them whenever I deem it necessary, like in abyss or boss fight.
9:48- is it still true for other dendro charas cus nahida's skill reapplied that dendro and its 1.5 units
I always loved Nilou's design, but never had the need to pull for her. Maybe I can main her in my alternate account (all f2p) but really looking forward to see her in the Summer Event!
💙❤️ I'm so excited to pull
for Nilou and Kaveh!! 💚💛
Nilou is ❤ for me. Got her in early pity out of nowhere when she was released and from that time she is my one of the best characters, cleared my first abyss 36 stars with her bloom team ❤ nothing can replace her in bloom team 😇😇
One Nilou team that I think also worth mentioning is healerless Nilou team consisting of Nilou, Kaveh, Nahida on prototype amber and either Xingqiu or Furina.
This is by far strongest Kaveh+Nilou team and it's surprisingly tanky due to Kaveh's self-sustain combined with p amber additional healing. I also like it for how well rotation of this team flows.
The only problem is that kaveh's bloom and nilou's blooms arent the same so you're losing dmg by activating them with kaveh
@@blookie309that^
poor guy, they're doing everything to force him in her teams and feel good😂
@@johnd7760 kaveh's best team is nilou bloom, but nilou's best team isnt with kaveh
@@blookie309 😂
Huge piece of incorrect info. There is a way to make sure one person is the bloom trigger 90% of the time. The stronger AOE setup with 2hydro 2dendro. If you have Nahida as an off field dendro means your onfielder being either Koko or Barbara/Ayato or any onfield hydro with good application should not build Healing Bonus /HP or Crit Attack but EM/EM/EM. Nahida applies enough off field dendro with the assistance of another off field dendro character that most of the bloom is done by Koko since her jelly fish is faster than Nilou’s ring in conjunction with her Normal attacks she will have ownership of almost all the blooms with Nilou yoinking a minority of them.
Triple crowned, C1 Nilou with her weapon. I adore this girl so much
yo nice guide but i need suggestion on my team comp as my nilou is currently capped at 64k hp and kokomi having ocean clam set and nahida with 900EM also dendro mc with full em set but bloom damage still hit upto 20k what should I improve here
Another special case team:
Nilou nahida kaveh xingqiu
Where prototype amber is on nahida, kaveh full EM instructor forest regalia and xingqiu dmg reduction small heals are enough to survive.
is using crit build on her viable at all as a dps rather than the HP artifacts?
sure, if u have help with xq/yelan, to drive xl.
thank you for the video. I finally get her! can't wait to build her because she is so pretty XD
It looks stupid but trust me it works.
You can pair Nilou with Arlechino, Nilou ring can apply enough hydro for Arlechino to vape her normal attack (since Arlechono NA follows normal ICD)
But you need to hug the enemy for Nilou's skill to "hit" the enemy
It is a trick from the Genshin tournament when all the hydro applicators get banned or picked already
You know in this way you can also use barbara. Will be pretty much the same tho
@@feyandhisstuff9888 I guess it is
I don't know how fast Barbara can apply hydro since it got -nerfed- fixed by hoyo last time
But Barbara apply wet on the active character, sometimes will be annoying when facing cryo enemy, her skill radius is pretty much non existent you gotta maintain skinship with the enemy, and also her heal doesn't work on Arlecchino
Is jade cutter good for her? Since jade cutter also gives her more hp
Can I use her with sigewinne, alhaitham, collei, baizhu, furina or dendro travelller? Must have sigewinne and maybe alhaitham cuz I wanna play sm both
On-field Baizhu is underrated
Does he need any constellation to be a good driver in that team ?
@@Rockfello His constellations only enables AFK playstyle (aka never swap to him). You just need to poke enemies with his normal attacks for him to work here. Build full EM if you want,
@@AevyCh thanks for the soon reply. Cheers.
Super tanky which puts a lot of pressure off survivability compared to Nahida/Alhaitham, and frees up your hydro healer! Solid pick, but my only gripe with on-field Baizhu is his lack of AoE.
since most blooms are triggered by hydro, its better to keep a full EM kokomi (or barbara) onfield for more bloom damage, and Baizhu can stay offield and give buffs to these drivers for bit more bloom damage.
Nilou Kokomi Baizhu Nahida is comfy and strong. 🥳
I accidently got Verdict yet my gut still wanted Nilou, ending up completing my Bloom Bot Kaveh team.
currently im using dark iron sword on nilou, i think it have decent weapon skill and substat, just really low base stat. How much the difference between dark iron and favonius sword?
I got Nillous weapon on my 50/50 lost for Naivas weapon, I have furina with weapon, nuvi, Mona,C2 childe my only 5-hydros I don’t have any 5star dendro, should I get her because I’m guaranteed if I pull, I have 30 wishes as of right now but I could get her if I kept farming.
CHAT, DO I GET HER??
I used the triple hydro one dendro team using
Nilou nahida xingque and Barbara
Nahida was on field but the problem is nahida applies alot of dendro on field resulting in continuous dendro auro on the enemy and xingque procs the blooms, this resulting in a lot less damage per bloom and my xingque is not built with EM what should I do?
What nilou team should I go for? I have many options (nahida, alhaitham, childe, yelan, xingqiu, kokomi, furina, collei, ayato, mona, neuvillette)
nahida kokomi collei is basically her best in the vast majority of scenarios with nahida em build kokomi hybrid build and collei emblem crit build, but really anything works as long as the main character whos doing reactions has decent em and a healer is on the team
Great vid bro!
Can I ask if I do hyperbloom, nahida, ayato, shinobu,
Basically I want my ayato to be onfield more so should I build him pure EM All? Or crit???
And also at nahida the 3 hydro and 1 dendro you said, so pure EM on nahida no crit?
Nahida's E scales off of EM, so you should build her full EM no matter what team she's on or what role she has.
@@walking-the-flower-path thanks how about ayato???? EM???
@@Michael530bs Kuki would be triggering the hyperblooms so you'll want her on an EM build, and your Ayato you can build for dps.
@@walking-the-flower-path false.
you want crits in aggra teams too, if u want the most of her. full em is just for lazy casuals.
I was thinking on runnin 4x FoPL full EM Mona with her, maybe w/ sacrificial fragment to reposition her E, mainly because my Mona has stayed unused for a long time and I want to pick her up again. Dendros Yaoyao and Kirara maybe, or yaoyao and Nahida.
I have Key of Khaj-Nisut but I'll already put it on my furina and am not thinking of getting rid of it anytime soon, andI don't have and hp sword so my best opsions are em. Will slapping The freedom sword (Kazuha sign. weapon) on Nilou work?
the thing is, furina has options other than key that aren't significantly worse than key, whereas nilou with an hp weapon is an entire world of difference
Thank you so much! Best explanation of Nilou ❤️❤️❤️
I got Nilou on my 50/50 although I didn’t want her but now I am building her f2p team with C1 Barbara and I hope it do damage than my Furina team as I don’t have a good healer for her. Sadly no Nahida for me and I think it will be the case until next year
If I get nilou, am gonna go for Nahida, kaveh, nilou, and any hydro char, is the team good?
I'm thinking about pulling Nilou just for buffing my Kokomi and letting me use her as on field driver. I'm thinking about following team: Nilou, Nahida, Furina and Kokomi. Is this going to work well?
collei would work better than furina. Furina has anti-synergy with nilou teams
Nilou and Kokomi has always been great on release, it's just the vast majority of players are just too short sighted to see it.
Week one of Nilou release a CN TC showed that her team can clear the Ruin Serpent abyss 3* without even leveling and equipping her, she's the least investment highest return character in the game.
Im a new player and just pulled tighnari, would he lso do as my second dendro?
Are you making a sigewinne guide?? I just discovered your account and I love how you explain the characters😭😭
My dream team comp with rotation
Nahida E < Xingque Q < Nilou E < Kaveh ....
What y'all think?
No healer needed, If kaveh is on field 😚
you forgot nahidas Q, xq's E2, etc but sure, can work smh. 😂
@@johnd7760 lol 😂😆
What about the black sword ? Doesn’t it give attack based of hp ?
Isn’t paradise still better?, you can achieve 50-55k hp without 2pc 2pc and when I tested the cores would do 20k with 2pc 2pc but with paradise I would do 25k
A wonderful guide for the cheapest to itemize character in all of Genshin Impact.
How should I build for mono hydro? I'm going to be using C0R0 Nilou, C2R0 Furina, C0R0 Yelan and C0R0 Xianyun. My Furina uses the pipe and both Yelan and Xianyun use Favonius. I'm thinking of using Harbinger on her since I don't have an HP or Furina's sword and my only 5-star sword (Mistsplitter) is on Keqing and will never move.
Do you happen to have Baizhu? I have a rather invested account so I run C2Furina-C1Yelan-C2Baizhu-C0Nilou(on field), but I plan on getting her C2 this coming rerun for her Dendro/Hydro resistance shred. I'm currently running Nilou w/Key and the Hunter's set (HP%/HP%/Crit circlet). This team works well because it has strong single target damage w/ some passive AOE triggered by Baizhu's burst creating blooms and Nilou's skill attack is a ranged directional attack. For her stat's I'm around 60k hp, 33% CR and 176% CD. I should also note that I run Baizhu on hybrid build (EM/HP%/HP%) with an EM weapon. Hope this helps you some!
Harbinger would be your best option here unless you have a spare Wolf Fang. Mistsplitter is worse than Harbinger on her anyways, so that weapon being unavailable isn't an issue.
will a team consisting with nilou, dendro mc, yelan, nahida be enough to actually clear spiral abyss? (since I have a pretty decent navia build for the other side)
Yes, that will be enough. Just be careful tho cause you might go on life support
QUESTION: My current nahida team consists of c2r1 nahida, yelan, xingqiu, and kuki. Would a nilou bloom team deal more dmge than my current hyperbloom team? Tnx for the reply.
Bloom is better for AoE, hyperbloom is better for single target
Nilou bloom purely depends on her HP + how optimal your rotations are, it may or may not outdo hyperbloom in single target
My Kuki does 27k per hyperbloom core at lv 80 so I'm assuming yours does roughly 30k
An average Nilou core does anything between 15-30k based on how much EM you have in your team on average (core ownership is usually all characters as mentioned)
You produce bloom cores faster in Nilou teams because you have more hydro/dendro application so on average, I'd say Nilou's team will do roughly as hyperbloom in single target but way more in AoE
Is it okay to use both yaoyao and baizhu on the team?
What's the best non-Nahida team? Can someone help, I'm struggling to find out
Is there a Nahida + Nilou team without Alhaithaim/Kokomi/Ayato/Neuvilette/Baizhu where Nahida doesn't need Full EM? Maybe like Nahida / Nilou / YaoYao EM / XQ?
candace + yao yao is best, but c6 candace is almost a requirement to compare to kokomi + collei team
Idk if I should pull for her since I'm saving my primos for Wrio but I want Kaveh cons and a better team for him
