Nilou structure - Genshin Effect

Because she is a special hydro sword-wielder, choosing the ideal Genshin effect Niloubuild might be challenging if you want to maximize her effect. Her kit is quite situational and depends on interesting interactions between hydro and dendro. She is a very specific DPS or sub-DPS, but her many cores provide a spectacular stage performance. Now let's examine Genshin Nilou's abilities, gear, and other items so you may experience Teyvat as the most proficient form of the character.

Which Genshin Impact Nilou build is the best?


Best weapon	Key of Khaj-Nisut
Weapon substitutes	Sacrificial Sword, Iron Sting
Best artifact set	Tenacity of the Millelith and Gilded Dreams
Main stats	Sands – HP Goblet – Hydro damage bonus Circlet – HP
Sub stats	HP, energy recharge, elemental mastery

Nilou's iconic weapon, the Key of Khaj-Nisut, and a collection of HP-boosting relics are her finest allies as a hydro DPS or sub-DPS. She performs best when used in a bloom team for responses.

To get bloom cores to continuously occur, Nilou almost solely has to be employed on a squad that uses hydro and dendro; this allows her to make the most of bloom cores. In order to keep her safe, you also need a hydro or dendro healer. Given that Genshin's kit also centers on the bloom response, you may combine her with his Kaveh.

How should I utilize Nilou from Genshin Impact?

Nilou's play style is centered on the dendro-hydro bloom response. When used properly, her many cores may do massive AoE damage.

She has the skills of Whirling Steps and Sword Dancing. While Whirling Steps generates water surrounding Nilou that gives hydro to foes, Sword Dance is the greatest move for DPS Nilou since it increases her damage output.. Nilou will blossom everywhere once you figure out when to use these situational talents, however it might be challenging to do so.

What Nilou weapons are the best?

Key of Khaj-Nisut, Nilou's trademark weapon, is the ideal weapon to complement her kit, regardless of how you plan to use her. Her maximum HP and elemental mastery are also increased, which makes her dendro cores more potent.

For an on-field Nilou, a Sacrificial Sword is an excellent choice as it lets her employ both elemental skill forms, which maximizes her hydro application. Freedom-Sworn is a fantastic off-field enabler since it increases her elemental response damage and when she triggers an elemental reaction, it benefits the whole party. A less expensive choice would be to give Nilou Iron Sting, which increases her elemental mastery and increases her damage after doing elemental damage to an opponent.

Weapon	Effect	How to obtain
Key of Khaj-Nisut (five-star)	Bonus effect: Increases HP Skill: Nilou gains the Grand Hymn effect for 20 seconds when an elemental skill hits an opponent. This effect increases her elemental mastery by 0.12% of her max HP. This effect can trigger once every 0.3 seconds. When this effect gains three stacks, or when the third stack’s duration is refreshed, the elemental mastery of all nearby party members will be increased by 0.2% of Nilou’s max HP for 20 seconds	Weapon banner (alongside Nilou)
Sacrificial Sword (four-star)	Bonus effect: Energy recharge Skill: After dealing damage to an opponent with an elemental skill, the skill has a 40% chance to end its own cooldown. Can only occur once every 30 seconds	All banners
Freedom-Sworn (five-star)	Bonus effect: Elemental mastery Skill: When Nilou triggers elemental reactions, she gains a Sigil of Rebellion. This effect can be triggered once every 0.5 seconds and can be triggered even if she is not on the field. When you possess two Sigils of Rebellion, both will be consumed and all nearby party members will obtain “Millennial Movement: Song of Resistance” for 12 seconds. This increases normal, charged, and plunging Attack damage by 16% and increases attack by 20%. Once this effect is triggered, you will not gain Sigils of Rebellion for 20 seconds	Weapon banner (alongside Kazuha)
Iron Sting (four-star)	Bonus effect: Elemental mastery Skill: Increases all damage by 6% for six seconds when dealing elemental damage. Max two stacks. Can only occur once every second	Forge via blacksmith
The Dockhand’s Assistant (four-star)	Bonus effect: Increases HP Skill: When Nilou is healed, she gains a Stoic Symbol, lasting 30 seconds. This can stack up to three times. When she uses an elemental skill or burst, the symbols are consumed and the Round Effect takes is gained for ten seconds. Each symbol provides 40 elemental mastery and two energy. This effect can trigger every 15 seconds, even when Nilou is not on field.	Weeapon banner

Which Nilou antiquities are the best?

As of right now, Nilou's optimal artifact set is two Gilded Dreams (also known as Flower of Paradise Lost) and two Tenacity of the Millelith. This combination increases her HP% and elemental mastery. If all else fails, her hydro damage will be increased by a two-piece Heart of Depth.

Artifact set	Effect	How to obtain
Tenacity of the Millelith	Two equipped: Increases HP Four equipped: Upon hitting an enemy with an elemental skill, all nearby party members gain 20% attack and 30% shield strength for three seconds. You can trigger this effect once every 0.5 seconds, even if Nilou is not on the field	Ridge Watch domain
Gilded Dreams	Two equipped: Increases elemental mastery Four equipped: Within eight seconds of triggering an elemental reaction, Nilou obtains buffs based on the elemental type of other party members. Increases attack by 14% for each member whose elemental type is the same as the Nilou, and elemental mastery increases by 50 for every member with a different type. Each of the buffs counts up to three characters. Nilou can trigger this effect once every eight seconds, even when she is not on the field	Spire of Solitary Enlightenment domain
Flower of Paradise Lost	Two equipped: Increases elemental mastery Four equipped: Nilou’s bloom, hyperbloom, and burgeon reaction damage are increased by 40%. Additionally, after she triggers bloom, hyperbloom, or burgeon, she gains another 25% bonus to the effect mentioned prior. Each stack of this lasts 10 seconds. Max four stacks simultaneously. This effect can only be triggered once per second. Nilou can still trigger its effects when not on the field	City of Gold domain
Heart of Depth	Two equipped: Hydro damage bonus Four equipped: After using elemental skill, increases normal attack and charged attack damage by 30% for 15 seconds	Peak of Vindagnyr domain
Nymph’s Dream	Two equipped: Hydro damage bonus Four equipped: After Nilou uses normal, charged, and plunging attacks, elemental skills, and elemental bursts hit opponents, one stack of Mirrored Nymph will trigger. When under the effect of 1/2/3 or more Mirrored Nymph stacks, attack increases by 7%/16%/25%, and hydro damage increases by 4%/9%/15%.	Molten Iron Fortress domain
Vourukasha’s Glow	Two equipped: Increases HP Four equipped: Elemental skill and elemental burst damage increase by 10%. After Nilou takes damage, the damage bonus is increased by 80% for five seconds. This effect increase can have five stacks. These effects can be triggered even when Nilou is not on the field.	Molten Iron Fortress domain

Recommendations for artifact stats

Keep in mind that elemental mastery is superior than crit while choosing stats for Nilou's artifacts since abundant cores are not crit. Generally speaking, you aim to replenish her energy to at least 170%. Apart from that, you should concentrate on increasing your elemental mastery via sub-stats and your HP% through main stats.

Principal statistics:

Sands: HP% and energy recharge
Goblet: HP%
Circlet: HP%

Sub-stats:

Elemental mastery
HP%
HP
Energy recharge

Which Genshin Impact Nilou team compositions are the best?

You should strive for bloom responses while using Nilou. That is essentially her whole story. Thus, combine almost any hydro and dendro character you choose, ideally with a healer for extra advantages.

First character slot	Second character slot	Third character slot	Fourth character slot
Nilou	Nahida	Kokomi	Dendro Traveler
Nilou	Nahida	Kokomi	Yelan
Nilou	Kaveh	Nahida	Xingqiu

What skills does Nilou possess?

Here is a demonstration of Nilou's abilities and capabilities:

Skills in action:

Skill	Effect
Normal attack: Dance of Samser	Normal: Perform up to three consecutive sword strikes. Charged: Consume a set amount of stamina to perform a twirling slash. Plunging: Plung from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE damage on impact
Elemental skill: Dance of Haftkarsvar	Nilou enters the pirouette state, dealing hydro damage to nearby opponents based on her max HP. While in this state, her normal attacks and elemental skills cause her to enter the sword dance and whirling steps stances respectively, converting all her damage to hydro damage that can’t be overridden and is considered elemental skill damage. In these stances, Nilou’s third dance step ends pirouette and has different effects based on the type of said dance step. For sword dance, she unleashes a luminous illusion that deals hydro damage to any enemies it touches. She receives the lunar prayer effect, which converts Nilou’s normal attacks into sword dance techniques. For whirling steps, Nilou unleashes a whirling water wheel that deals AoE hydro damage and creates a tranquillity aura that follows your active character around and applies hydro to opponents within its AoE. Nilou can’t perform charged attacks when under the effect of a pirouette or lunar prayer. All effects are removed when Nilou leaves the field
Elemental burst: Dance of Abzendegi: Distant Dreams, Listening Spring	Nilou begins a dance that spawns a lotus of distant waters, dealing AoE hydro damage based on Nilou’s max HP and applying the Lingering Aeon effect to all opponent’s hit. After an interval, opponents affected by Lingering Aeon take hydro damage

Skills that are passive:

Skill	Effect
White Jade Lotus (unlocked at ascension one)	When Nilou cooks a perfect meal with adventure-related effects, there’s a 12% chance for you to obtain double the product
Court of Dancing Petals (unlocked at ascension four)	When all characters in the party are dendro or hydro, and there are at least one dendro and one hydro character, the completion of the third dance step of Nilou’s skill grants all nearby characters the Golden Chalice’s Bounty for 30 seconds. Characters under the effect of Golden Chalice’s Bounty increase the elemental mastery of all allies by 100 for ten seconds when they’re hit by dendro attacks. Triggering the bloom reaction creates bountiful cores instead of dendro cores. Bountiful cores burst very quickly and have larger AoEs. Bountiful cores can’t trigger hyperbloom or burgeon, and they share an upper numerical limit with dendro cores. Bountiful core damage is considered damage dealt by dendro cores produced by bloom. If the party doesn’t meet the conditions for this passive, any existing Golden Chalice’s Bounty effects are canceled.
Dreamy Dance of Aeons (unlocked automatically)	Every 1,000 points of Nilou’s max HP above 30k increases the damage dealt by Bountiful cores by 9%. The maximum increase in bountiful core damage that can be achieved this way is 400%

What constellations does Nilou belong to?

Buffs called constellations enhance a character's combat performance. When you pluck many copies of Nilou, her constellations may be leveled up.

Constellation	Effect
C1: Dance of the Waning Moon	Enhances Dance of Haftkarsvare, increasing the luminous illusion’s damage by 65%, and extending the duration of the tranquillity aura by six seconds.
C2: The Starry Skies Their Flowers Rain	After characters affected by the golden chalice’s bounty deal hydro damage to an opponent, that opponent’s hydro resistance decreases by 35% for ten seconds. After a triggered bloom reaction deals damage to opponents, their dendro resistance decreases by 35% for ten seconds. Requires the ‘Court of Dancing Petals’ talent.
C3: Beguiling Shadowstep	Increases the level of Dance of Abzendegi: Distant Dreams, Listening Spring by three. Max upgrade to level 15.
C4: Fricative Pulse	After the third dance step of Dance of Haftkarsvar’s Pirouette hits opponents, Nilou gains 15 elemental energy, and damage from her Dance of Abzendegi: Distant Dreams, listening spring increases by 50% for eight seconds.
C5: Twirling Light	Increases the level of Dance of Haftkarsvar by three. Max upgrade to level 15.
C6: Frostbreaker’s Melody	For every 1,000 points of max HP, Nilou’s crit rate and crit damage increase by 0.6% and 1.2% respectively. Can increase a maximum of 20% crit rate and 60% crit damage.
