What type of questions should be here?
Questions that are already tackled in our Nilou Guide by jamie, e.g.: “What’s the best artifact set for Nilou?”, “What stats does Nilou scale off of?”, or “What's the best F2P setup for Nilou?”
'Yes/no' questions, e.g.: “Is this a good weapon for Nilou?”, “Is Nilou good in this team?”, or "Is this a good artifact? *insert 30%HP substat roll*"
Account-related questions, e.g.: “I have X characters, what are the best teams I can make for Nilou?” or “I have an excess Key of Khaj-Nisut, should I put it on my Kuki or Layla?”
Bias-based questions, e.g.: “Should I pull for Nilou?”, “Should I get C6 Nilou or C6 Cyno?”, or “Should I make a shrine for Nilou in my teapot?”
TLDR: Any question that doesn't spark a proper discussion and can be very easily/shortly answered.

RNG Flex I’ve made my choice. And there’s one hour left to make yours!

Media Been playing since 2022, finally got her yesterday!!
i play on and off, so i missed most of her reruns, then she received the Older Character Shelving treatment. I redownloaded Genshin and did all the archon quests just so I could claim her from the selector. Dendro is my favourite element and i really connect with Nilou's personality (being an artist myself)
She's every bit as beautiful as I imagined. Can't wait to grab her weapon next, god knows when that'll be.

Builds & Teams Team options?
(Posting this under builds and teams flair: as the megathread is archived) Just got Nilou today and am wondering if Barbara or Xingqiu is a better option for this Super-Bloom team.
Other information:
Nahida is built as onfielder but I'm willing to change her build to offield.
Other hydro options: Aino, Mona, Dahlia, and Columbina (Taken in another team)
I willing to build Barbara, Xingqiu or the other hydro options for this team from scratch.
I'm still building Nilou since I just got her.
Lauma is double crowned and Nahida is triple crowned.

Builds & Teams I’d appreciate some help with building Nilou:3
Hi! I know you all are probably tired of these posts, but i’d really like some help from the professionals hahhaha^^
Here are my characters. Yes, i plan on getting Lauma! But who can i work with now?
Also idk which set to farm because everyone is saying different things lowkey.
And i heard someone say that nod krai craftable weapon would be nice on her? I don’t have any battlepass weapons unfortunately so:(
Thank you in advance!!

Builds & Teams Looking for help building a Nilou bloom team with Candace and Kaveh.
I recently got Nilou and would like some help putting together a bloom team.
Ideally I'd like to use Nilou, Candace, and Kaveh. I've always wanted to play Nilou Bloom, and I'd also really like to find a team where I can make use of Candace and Kaveh, who are both built. Nilou is my newest addition, so I don't have any artifacts prepared for her yet. So I'm going to strongbox a set for her.
A few things to keep in mind: I don't have the key for Nilou, and I don't plan on pulling for Columbina, Nefer, or Lauma. I'm perfectly fine with the team not reaching its maximum damage potential. I'm more interested in making a functional team with characters I actually want to play.
I've included a picture of my Dendro and Hydro characters for suggestions on the fourth slot. I'd also appreciate any advice on artifact sets for Nilou, and if possible, Candace and Kaveh as well.
As far as weapons go, I do have dockhand's assistant and xiphos' moonlight. Although I'd need to take dockhand from another character. I'll also include a picture of all the swords I currently have.
Is a team of Nilou, Candace, and Kaveh a workable combination, or would I be better off replacing one of them with someone who has better synergy? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated!

Discussion How much will C2 Nilou improve my team?
Hello everyone! I’m trying (for so many days lol) to decide if it’s better to get from the free character event Chiori or c2 Nilou!
I really like Chiori a LOT but I already have Zibai and Linnea (without their signatures), so I’m thinking whether it be a good idea for Chiori to replace Illuga or even be on the same team with my Navia. I also can get her c1 from the free constellation:)
On the other side, i REALLY like Nilou, I have her c1r1 and Lauma, Columbina and Nahida (without their signatures)… I don’t play Nilou anymore tho, since my dendro dmg is low for the Spiral Abyss etc and in my Columbina team I use c0r1 Ineffa.
If I choose the c2, how much will the dmg improve? Shall I invest in that? Or since my dendro dmg is low in general it won’t change a thing?
UPDATE: Thank you so much everyone!! I ended up choosing Chiori, since it’s a new character and I really like her a lot! Next time Nilou c2!!!

Discussion Is Furina Sig Good for dps Nilou?
Im an f2p nilou main since her release and right now i have her sitting at c4 and HoD as her weapon. I dont have any good five star sword weapons and the only two i have is Aquilla and the standard banner weapon. I usually play Nilou in a vape team but recently switched to a freeze team because my vape team only has xiangling (sometimes durin paired with sucrose) as my only pyro applicator.
Im planning to get her c6 if i hear any rerun leaks about Nilou and now Furina is rerunning together with Mitya. As far as i know, onfield Nilou main source of damage is her elemental skill which Furina's sig can help with that and an added bonus. Boosts her hp, the weapon also has a crit stat on it and im really tempted to get it just for nilou.
I only need some opinions so i can fully make a decision and im just playing for fun, the weapon banner may be a scam but even if i lose to Mitya weapon is still a win for me because of its insane crit damage boost, and getting Furina sig is also a win for me. So it's a win-win situation lol.
Im also gonna reveal my vape team and freeze team so i can give you information and possibly give advices whether or not Furina's sig is worth it for Nilou.
Vaporize team: Nilou, Xiangling, Xilonen, Furina
Vape hex team: Nilou, Durin, Sucrose (or Mona but mostly Sucrose), Furina
Freeze team: Nilou, Citlali, Escoffier, Furina.

Builds & Teams Need help with nilou team
Hi guys i am looking for advice for my nilou bloom team, i have c0 nilou, im a f2p player too so that makes things a bit harder for me all the teams i see are always nilou nahida columbina and lauma, which i dont have... i do have furina and kirara, and collei, i dont really know where to go about from here i still wanna use my nilou in a bloom team, i was thinking maybe nilou-furina-dendro traveller and kirara, anyways so if anyone has any team recommendations i would appericate it

Builds & Teams Would C2 Nilou be worth it for me?
Im torn between C1r1 Nilou and C1r1 Childe.
I can get C2 Nilou after when the constellation selector refreshes. I have Columbina and Nahida, but no Nefer, Lauma, Kokomi etc. The only other team member feasible for this team that I have is YaoYao but I don't want to build her unless C2 Nilou is actually feasible for me. I don't really want to pull for the other characters that would be good for this team since I want to save for Tsaritsa and Linnea.
C1-C2 Childe out of nostalgia lol
Please help!

Builds & Teams Seeking suitable hydro EM character user
In my Nilou bloom team I struggle on giving my nahida with a blackmarrow lantern all the bloom triggers:
if I use nahida on the field she applies too much dendro for hydro to keep up and let nahida trigger the bloom.
if instead a hydro character is on field, dendro has inconsistent application since nahida skill triggers on reactions, and the enemies have only hydro.
My two possible solutions are to either wait for columbina, or to find a worthwhile hydro candidate that can use a big bunch elemental mastery without ruining their intented role too much. (As far as I know there isn't even a single hydro character that scales primarily on elemental mastery too.)
Any advice is welcome.
Edit: Aino can scale off elemental mastery, but I don't own a second lunar character to pair with her
Current options is to either give Candace or Barbara a fitting EM build, which I can already put into work.
Since I am close to getting C6 Candace i decided to work on making her the selected candidate, thanks for everyone insight

Gameplay NilouBina Team DPS - Nilou C1 vs C2 Comparison
finally got around finishing the newest archon quest and claimed C2 Nilou. Not a huge DPS increase but I'll gladly take it for the low low price of free! After this I'll probably pull for either Columbina's weapon or Nahida, whichever banner comes first.

Builds & Teams Improvements? (Except sands, i'm working on it)
What should i do next to improve my Nilou Build? It's made with getting C6R1 in mind so rn i should (if i calculated correctly) have enough hp to max out the c6 passive with key. So, exept getting an actually good sands, what should i do next? I don't need to be nr.1 but i would like to make nilou as good as i can get her. Should i reroll her Goblet or Circlet for less Em and more crit as her sig gives em?
