@@mustafa_b._ Hi! The in-game description is a bit misleading. The buff is actually linear with your HP and makes any HP amount count over 30k. You don’t have to reach 75k for the maximum but just 74,444 (+ counting for rounding).
Proud to be part of the 13.7%! Another fun tip is that Nilou charges the Parametric Transformer really quickly and easily. Just pop her hydro aura up and stand close and watch those percentages tick up (This is also your reminder to use your Parametric Transformer if you've forgotten)
thanks for the tip, until now i always got to an electro crystal (mostly behind cecilia's guarden or violet court) so i can passively charge it because I am too lazy to actively charge it myself. this is also a way of passively charging the transformer.
@@wwvdh1761 aside from Nilou’s aura or using an Electro Crystal, you can just burn the grass under the Parametric Transformer. The Parametric ends charging exactly the same time the fire dies down.
@@LizardKingRequiemXingqiu, Yelan, Neuvillette, Candace, Barbara, Furina, the new Natlan girl, just to name a few which *don't* have any part of their kits that benefits of building EM. All of them want to invest in crit.
Another level of "new touch" to Nilou's team with Nahida is Nahida´s E2. With the ability for the blooms to crit make it so satisfying to see them go puff for 80k ahaha
Friendly reminder that Nahida doesn't share her EM, not necessarely: she shares the EM of the character with the most in the team, who is generally going to be Kokomi in her 2H2D Nilou team so you can mindlessly build DMG Bonus and CRIT on her if you happen to have better gear with those stats. A couple more things: Kokomi can use OHC which is actually preferred among Kokomi mains and some speedrunners; Barbara really wants Sac Fragments too exactly like Kokomi (the E cooldown is very long); 3H1D has always been competitive (Nahida on field + Kokomi and XQ/Yelan), it should be definitely mentioned. Finally I think Nilou's value without Nahida is underestimated in this video like elsewhere. Even in the rifthounds example (the small ones at least, the big ones are cringe for Kokomi even more than Barbara) they are very clingy enemies who always dash at you and you can exploit that: yes Barbara's off field hydro has awful range, but like Nilou you can easily hit and apply hydro to one enemy at a time generating many blooms at slightly different times which don't reach the 2x0.5s cap. So you generally spam N3 animation canceling the last normal with a dash, which both moves you closer to different enemies around you (hitting them with the ring at different times) and changes your target better distributing your hydro application. Downsides are more reliance on enemies being very close to you and if you are that aggressive with the N3 dash combo you also consume more stamina, but even Kokomi mains interrupt their NA chains with dashes so that's not different at all, so in the end in the most ideal scenarios you generate pretty much the same blooms. About Nahida, again compared to the DMC+Collei duo in ideal scenarios the difference isn't really that striking, taking properly advantage of all that dendro aura is actually hard; where Nahida really shines is as you mentioned when enemies don't stay that close with each other (DMC and Collei will struggle to hit all of them consistently) but very importantly in single target: there all your application is concentrated on one enemy all the time and it becomes much easier to overwhelm dendro, at the same time you generate less blooms simply because you have just one target for reactions. In that case Nahida's denser dendro gauge easily gives you more blooms, which is a significant damage increase as long as your hydro can keep up with it (Kokomi, Barbara, Xingqiu). So where Nahida really shines compared to a DMC+Collei duo with Kokomi/Barbara is comfort, ease of play, reliability in AoE and sensibly better bloom production in ST. Overall nice video 👍
@@Dj-ye8ju Baizhu has value in bloom mostly has a comfort pick, only relevant in teams where your driver isn’t a healer and you prefer characters like XQ/Yelan over Kokomi off field like Alhaitham and Ayato bloom teams. His problem is that he has basically no AoE outside of his skill, Nahida is much more valuable.
wish youd mentioned candace, both with and without c6. she can allow your dendro character to be the bloom trigger, which is most often yaoyao. this lets you build EM on the entire team and get blooms out of everyone. it also makes use of 4* characters that arent really used in a lot of other teams.
I am usually running c6 Candace and Yaoyao and there aren't many people I see with this team. Was going to ask, who's triggering the blooms here? I've built a bit of EM on everyone because I really cannot tell, and I haven't found any theorycrafters talk about this configuration lol
@@deeeerock everyone triggers a considerable amount of blooms in this team. at c6, candace gets the most at around 6-7 hydro apps, but its not by much. before c6, its easily yaoyao. you want as much em as possible on all characters in this team.
can you explain more about this because I want to use Nilou that I just have got with my c6 Candace and c6 Kaveh. I have Baizhu but since I like running teams per regions I want characters to be entirely Sumeru ones. So will it work: Nilou, Candace c6, Kaveh c6, Dori c6, and how should I build Candace in that case ? (never used her since was seeking opportunity and I thought when I get Nilou that she'll just have perfect use)
Thanks for this guide. Just got Nilou from the 1600 apologems for Neuvi CA issue and I built Nilou team just like you said with Kokomi Nahida Baizhu. Still at level 70 but with all the right setup already seeing 25-30k blooms with Kokomi full EM. Looking forward to level 90 build 🤩
Literally the most fun character to play I hope Hoyo someday made Nilou like characters that change reaction to better version. For example: Freeze explodes and does a lot of damage over an area when it ends; Burgeon create zone that deal Burning damage; Overload pull in instead of push and its stronger and bigger. There a lot fun potentional that will bring life to a lot unplayable characters.
its still better for everyone to have at least 200 em as there’s no way to guarantee one specific character gets all the bloom triggers. this way your overall dps doesn’t stagger that much
On paper, you don't really need EM besides the on-field driver and Nahida (for buffs) but the bloom ownership is quite chaotic in real combat scenario. Best case is to have EM on other units, at least 100EM if you have nahida or else 150-200EM.
THANK YOU for an updated guide for nilou, so many people skipped her when she first came out so most people dont have her, so as well the guides wasn't as accessible or hardly existed.
Something I would like to add is Nilou can be quite strong if you build her with full hp main stats and crit subs on a marachusse set, it’s not “optimal” but it allows her to deal strong dmg herself while blooms still pop.
Better if you want a slightly lower hp% build opt for crit circlet and vorushakas… (ofc if you manage ~20% hp subs on the circlet its no downside at all) Its a big dmg increase for her comparatively as she has no dmg bonus w/out c1… But I go marachausse set anyway because voroushaka domain has….. that hydro thing. My childe doesnt want it. He likes sweet sweet hod.
If Nilou is not your on-field driver then it's not just "suboptimal" but a 'bad build' perse. The best thing about Nilou is her short on-field requirement. In most scenario you only need to re-cast the skill, using Nilou's burst will only prolong her field time and gradually lose overall dps. Therefore only HP and EM matters for her in most use cases.
Thanks for the guide, I just knew that Hydro that triggers bloom and needs em. Even I have been building the hydro applicator wrong (with normal ATK or HP build), nilou team still hits like truck.
This is so true, you can lowkey ignore any build recommendation and just have good HP on Nilou and her teams will still perform great. Min maxing is still fun though :)
I'm still learning the game but I pulled kirara so I have to learn all these things to properly use her! It's complicated but you break it down really well. I enjoy your accent too hehe! Thanks for the video. 😀
i've been using Nilou since her release (with MC, Collei and Kokomi), but i've never completely understood the mechanics of bloom. Usually my bountiful cores deal ~20k damage, with every character having a little bit of EM. Despite not having Nahida and despite not playing my best, i find myself having a lot of fun with this team, and Nilou has helped me 36* many abysses. I like her much more than hyperbloom. She's just that good. And with your helpful video, i hope she can be even better! thank you :>
thanks for the knowledge, It's really very difficult to find good content about Nilou. Now I finally know I'm on the right path (after having made so many mistakes)
The lack of Kaveh mention is crazy, ive found Kaveh + Nilou + XQ + Baizhu to be a very well performing team, didnt struggle one bit in AoE (maybe because AoE doesnt have boss levels of hp you know). So anyway, the team is giga tanky, theres basically no way for Kaveh to die, it doesnt have any circle impact, it doesnt have any multiwave issues. Works much better than even i expected
@@mewstone8442 I'm really liking Nahida Nilou Xingqiu (full EM) for Kaveh. It is a healerless team but it's the only team where I feel like playing Kaveh. I really dislike Solo Dendro Kaveh and I don't have c6 to test him with it. Any other team with Nilou and he just feels like a tanky/on-field DMC/Collei variant.
I recommend adding furina to the team. With kaveh’s healing of his passive skill and bloom damage makes furina’s buff go effing insane. Her pets become beasts
My man somehow combined bloom team with fanfare team and made it work. Respect🫵🏼. Altho idk how strong this team woulf be in terms of bloom - bcoz furina is built with hp rather than em and her fanfare buffs DMG% and not bloom dmg so.........
My team is Nilou,Nahida,Baizhu and Furina -Baizhu shield can buff bloom damage and give heal as well -Furina the other hand give more dmg bonus with the amount of hp changes (in this way we can make bloom dmg to yourself more useful, baizhu heal from his skill and burst really affect furina's fanfare points) -Edit: also with this you can do 2 dendro and 2 hydro characters elemental reactions which give you more HP and EM Notes: i really recommend getting C2 nahida it makes your bloom can do crits
Yes this is currently the best nilou guide so far.. Not everyone knew who triggers most of the bloom and they dont know about elemental gauge.. Most of them put full EM on everyone😅
Nilou Kaveh Kirara Xinqiu is actually very fun to play i just need very good er on my driver Kaveh but their performance are very good very similar to one of the best team in genshin the Hyperbloom Al Haitham ( you need constellations btw for 4* )
I remember challenging myself by doing a bloom team without a healer in abyss, i used nilou Nahida xingqui and yelan, and i said no healer cards and honestly i found it really fun even though it was challenging andbstill maanged to 9* said abysses. Also hige thank you for the video information it actually helped a lot and. I didnt know a lot of those aspects ❤
Imaginarium theater in 5.0 which will be on 1st of September, will include Hydro, Dendro and Pyro. But like you said Nilou wouldn't be best to use, unless you're lucky in Alternate Cast random selections.
my favorite team is nilou, kokomi, nahida and baizhu, it's the most comfortable team. but i still struggling with who's triggering blooms, who needs em, so it was useful video!
Yelan is good for fast Hydro application on scattered weak enemies and gather them in a heap. This allows one-tap them with Nahida's "E", creating multiple blooms in a small area.
Ayato is awesome for Nilou if you have high refine Xiphos, cos it just give so much ER for everyone while have that EM substat. it gave my Ayato with 900 EM around 45% ER, and around 15% for everyone else in the team.
thanks for the tips on rotation and team building! this is actually the first time i finally understood what the units of [element] meant for reactions lol, as a first time nilou haver i'm trying my best to learn how she works 😄question - what's a good sword? do i just leave her on the dockhand's assistant, or give her an r1 xiphos? thanks!
@@reemm6270 just like from video, I use Nilou + Nahida + Kokomi + Kirara C6 u can use Kirara in Aggravate team too like Keqing + Fischl + Kazuha but iirc u need C4 for off-field Dendro application
So helpful, to this day i’ve never put EM on my hydro applier. (me having the premium best team, with kokomi nahida and baizhu, playing it all wrong ☠️☠️☠️)
Thank you very much for the video! Although Barbara seems like a better option with her being a hydro, I might just as well stick with nilou, Nahida, Yao and xingqiu and wait for Kokomi’s rerun. Hopefully I get lucky on her banner (idk when but I assume not far away) and win my 50/50 😊
em kokomi solos the world. by far my favorite meta change over the years. i used to run clam on kokomi but ever since baizhu came out I much prefer running both together with kokomi being full em.
The Imaginarium Theatre elements for August are Hydro, Cryo and Anemo, with Nahida as one of the special guests. Technically speaking, you could have a Nilou/Nahida + 2 Hydro team.
the great part of the kokomi and nahida combo is you can stand in the middle of the dmg zone and your hp wont significantly drop aslong as your jellyfish is up
Before pulling for Nilou, I had 35 pity. Now I only have 110 pulls left, lost 50/50 to Mona (great bc I didn't have her) and finally got Kaveh. The thing is that I'm F2P and I've been saving for Shenhe and Wriothesley, plus Nahida because I don't have her. Logic tells me I should pull for those three characters, or maybe excluding Wrio for future reruns, before going for Nilou 🥲 But then there's the gambler in me who doesn't have much self control and just wants to keep pulling. I don't know what to do lmao😂 Great video btw!! I had been wondering who I should build with EM once I have Nilou and Nahida. Nilou and Yaoyao HP, Nahida and Kokomi EM, that is :)
I mean, I’ve been playing Nahida, Nilou and EM Barbara. She heals enough to stay alive and either Yaoyao or Baizhu as 2nd dendro + dedicated healer works absolutely fine.
I use her with Tighnari because he scales off EM, as well as Xingqiu and YaoYao. Yaoyao IS another HP scaler, and it’s a bit of a hassle to do big dmg with 2 hp scalers, but I can manage, especially because I’m F2P and Yaoyao is one of the best 4* healers in the game, and her Dendro application is really good.
You can get by with that team but just a heads-up: Tighnari's EM is not used often because of how the reactions and aura interact with each other. You also need to alternate Normal attacks to Charged attacks to use XQ and Tighnari at the same time
I subbed as soon as I heard explain about Elemental Units!!! And who should full EM why ? Thanks man, waiting for more of your well researched stuffs!!😊😊
I can't believe you didn't talk about the Instructor set. Yaoyao or Baizhu have way enough healing to use this set and still do their job. +125 EM on everyone is the most useful in Nilou teams, because everyone is going to proc some blooms at some point.
I do plan on covering that on the next video but it is not to be taken for granted imo. Many setups actually don't really see that amazing Instructor uptime or triggers at all because of Nahida.
I sometime use mona instead of barbara, i dont think the ult debuff aplies to bloom but if you have her c2 you can prock charge attacks without stop using normal atacks and the taunt have good aplication too
I have many questions, can elemental unit stack? For example if I Nahida skill then Yaoyao skill, do the enemy now have 1.5U(from Nahida only) or 2.5U(Nahida + Yaoyao)? Also how long does the unit expire(is there a timer)? Does it go away little by little or just expire all at once?
From my understanding, New gauge will replace Old one(for example, yao-yao will replace nahida skill although you will not notice since nahida skill's mark will refresh the gauge)
No, gauges don't add up. Priority will be given to the more powerful gauge. When the powerful gauge expires, the second, next powerful gauge takes over. If only these gauges add up. That would have broken this game a long time ago.
There's a timer and it goes away little by little. Also it decreases at constant speed. That's why Kaeya's ice bridge stays longer than Wrio's because Kaeya's skill has 4 GU, if I'm not wrong
Humble question. How would you build a Nilou team with Nilou, Nihida, Candace and Yao Yao? My doubt is Candace and Yao Yao , how to build and who is triggering what, and how to maximize it.
Nahida and Yao will make sure most of the time a Dendro aura is on the enemies. Now Candace giving a Hydro infusion means that whoever (expect Nahida) comes on-field and attacks will likely trigger Blooms. So technically, if you plan to on-field Yaoyao, she should have EM built. But if Candace is C6 she should too. I'll be honest and say that I dislike this team just because of this "spread" of EM stats. If you were to use someone like Kokomi or Xingqiu you would just build EM on them.
Do i build full em or hybrid or full crit on c6 xingqiu? And which artifact set, emblem or gilded? And would yaoyao trigger some blooms in her burst because of xingqiu's high hydro application?
Xingqiu can be either. The less enemies there are, the better a Hybrid build with some ATK/Crit is. But generally I'd just run around with enough ER% (Sac + c6 is probably already enough) and then full EM. Gilded is fine. For Yaoyao instead, if Nahida or enough Dendro from another unit is there then no, she will rarely if ever trigger any Bloom, even with Xingqiu.
@@SamsTheName-GI Tenacity does almost nothing in a Nilou team but if Nahida is there with XQ it's somewhat decent. Instructor has non that nice uptime because she won't likely trigger Blooms often and she needs to be on-field for it. So just use whatever gives you the most comfort tbh
Whoa I didn't know about Reverse and Forward also being true for Blooms. My team was Nilou, Barbara, Nahida and Kirara as the driver haha, it's fun but I guess not as effective. Wonder if shark girl's hydro application will be good enough to make her my new driver (Don't have Kokomi)
This was really in depth! I’ve been a Nilou haver since her second banner and I learned some things 😅 is dockhand worth trying to pull for? Got iron sting rn and key is not an option (now at least)
I think it's impossible for Nilou to reach 74444 HP without an HP sword, so it's definitely a must (as there are not many HP swords around) Also maybe this is kinda obvious but Nilou's HP contributes to superbloom damage calculation even though she's not the one who triggers it. So reaching 74k HP is the top priority for Nilou.
No such thing as trading EM for ER if you only care about EM. You can get both stats just fine. Its not like we're not focusing on 4 stats on normal crit carries and Ayato's AoE massacres Kokomi's AoE.
i tried both 'nilou, kokomi, nahida, and baizhu' and 'nilou, furina, nahida, and baizhu' in abyss. they practically finished the same time (though i think c2 furina makes a huge difference compared to my c0 kokomi) but the only downside with furina was she lacks hydro application compared to kokomi. so there were times where enemies just had dendro aura for
I personally prefer furina due to her having more uptime and the fact her summons can move a lot more that kokomis can. Kokomi is still a very good choice if I put furina on the other team but that’s just me
@GreenBRed-wi5dr yea i usually just dont put furina on bloom cause i have her with neu or summ. but for aoe content id rather kokomi cause even if they dash away from jellyfish kokomi is my onfielder. i dont lose much. kokomi also has infinite hydro application and does aoe charge attack so i find her more suited for on field. on field nahida with furina is good too but my nahida has like paper thin hp hahahaha. must be a preference thing.
Thank you so much! Now I actually understand why I have 65k bloom hits, I did it the right way all along! All hp Kirara with some EM, A hybrid dps/em Nahida (dendro cup, 55/160 ratio 700 em), 72k hp Nilou with 120 em, and a full em Xingqiu.
hi !! tysm for the video, but i still have a question i unfortunately dont have nahida (but im saving up for when she returns),, but i really like nilou bloom, so what would be the best team i can make for her with the characters i have now (nilou, kokomi, furina, barbara, xingqiu, yelan, candace, mona for hydro and yaoyao, tighnari and collei for dendro, and also the traveler who can be dendro/hydro) ??
I think traveler is the best replacement for nahida, you can use whoever you want for the other spots as long as you make sure to take a healer with you
Either Nilou, (EM build)Kokomi, Collei, DMC or Nilou, (EM build)Furina, DMC, Yaoyao I feel like Furina rotation is smoother since you can freely swap between characters (unless you dont wanna 100% capitalize with Kokomi teamwide heal on Burst and just uses it mostly as Skill extender) but very risky if Yaoyao have low ER and cant Burst every rotation..
(I’m going off from what I understand from the vid here so this may not be the most accurate!) Your Nilou should be built normally, Dendro Mc should have the deepwood artifact set with a normal build, Yao Yao should go a hybrid em and healing, and Xq should build em. Hope this clears up the confusion
I just got Nilou, but I haven't managed to snag Kokomi, so I was wondering if Neuvillette would be a decent substitute? I have Nahida and Baizhu already for a 2H2D and I'm trying to figure out who to use for my main hydro applicator
You can use Neuvilette in that team but I wouldn't invest into any EM if not random substats. His damage is not worth sacrificing for Bloom damage, level 90 and EM shares are still good though. Otherwise pick another Hydro off-fielder so that you can make a second team for Neuvilette of course.
I would like to ask if BaiZhu improves Nilou's blooms ? Didn't test it myself, but still find Nahida + Nilou + BaiZhu + XinQiou the most comfortable and sufficient set-up. If you have any opinions on this, please share
Baizhu gives you a tiny shield that's still 250% strong against Dendro (core self dmg) and refreshes all the time + healing. The passive only works for the character getting healed by his Burst but it's a decent increase in Bloom damage. I posted some calculations on how much it buffs Bloom in my community posts. I wouldn't change your team tbh. XQ full EM/ER and you're good.
New follower! I just got Nilou so thank you for the guide. I have her in a team with Nahida and Baizhu. what set should I be putting on Nahida? Curious because I have deepwood for both Nahida and baizhu which feels redundant 🙏
Hello and thanks! I'd change Baizhu set and not Nahida's because her application is way more reliable and comfortable to play with. Mark every and no matter what, you know Deepwood is active. But unfortunately for Baizhu there's not that many options available so I would stick with 2pc/2pc to maximize his HP (up to 50k it will further boost Bloom damage for the on-fielder) or 4pc Ocean-Hued if you have it. Song of Dasy Past, Noblesse and such are not used very well in a Nilou team.
@@goparuko Not really tbh. It makes it way more comfortable to go full EM on Kokomi without taking too much damage. Baizhu on full HP also further buffs your Bloom damage so I actually think you got one of the best teams right there.
Thank You for the Video and the tips. My question is since I still don't have Nahida or Kokomi as I was not playing during their banner time. Barbara for me is the Hydro her. My dilemma is with the Dendro. Should I used DMC C6 + Collei C0 or DMC + Kirara C2 or Kirara + Collei.
Either is not going to be a night/day difference. Kirara has more teams and it's safer to play, Collei is more Dendro application in a Bloom team, once her Burst is out with DMC's you can spam ICDs like explained in the video for Kokomi and get a great deal of Blooms in a short amount of time. Either is fine really.
My Nahida is c6 and it's a waste to use her in bloom team. I prefer Emilie. Constant dendro application and I don't need either burst and reapply E every 5 seconds Characters that rely on elemental skill mostly are still highly underrated I have also tried full em furina. It works pretty well, but thats also kinda waste to use her as bloom driver. Baizhu can handle healing
Question, if I use the team composition of Nilou-Nahida-Barbara-Kirara with using Kirara in box mode to easily apply dendro AND Hydro, who triggers the blooms? Kirara or Barbara?
I have a question What do you think about candace with nilou ? And if I use her should I use her to as a way to onfield someone else like yaoyao during her burst (then would I need em on yaoyao ?) Or just as an onfielder ? Ps the team would be nahida nilou yao yao candace(C6)
Yes but ideally you want to balance your ER, EM and classic offensive stats. The more the better. I would prioritize ER% first as even on-field he can't apply Hydro for a very prolonged period, EM second and then some Crit/ATK ideally. Make sure he's level 90 first though.
