GIve Nilou LOTS of HP and whoever is going on rotation after you put hydro down with nilou (Should be a dendro character) should have LOTS of EM. Nilou doesn't 100% need talents but; Prioritize burst if she is off field/sub dps or skill if she is on field/main dps. So if you are using her as support go for the burst. Side note: I love when you collect the specialties to a song. I really appreciate that editing it makes me very happy. Thank you.

7:19 that, Java, is one of genshin's greatest mysteries, right next to what the travellers did before coming to Teyvat and what the developers were on when they made Dehya That being said, from my experiments it seems all characters can and often do trigger blooms, which is why the damage fluctuates, so em is good on ANYONE in Nilou bloom teams Then again, her passive works on everyone so obly build em if you want to it's not necrssary or that lucrative

[@TehPigCraft]

For healing in a nilou bloom team, you can always just use the "Traveler's Handy Sword" on whoever is going to attack on field. However, if you fused them all away, you cant get any more of them since they are a mondstat chest item, so you can also instead get the black sword form the battle pass. I do not know which heals better but there are some options for healing in a nilou bloom team regardless of a lack of dendro or hydro sword healers.

Nilou main here. You want to stack as much HP as you can on her for bloom support build. This way you increase your whole teams dmg, while stacking EM increases Nilou's personal dmg. She is very worth leveling up to 90 (HP increase is quite significant). 2 pc ToM and 2 pc Vourakasha's glow (new set) are BiS for bloom support build. Substats are literally watever, though you can look for some EM and ER if you'll level her burst. edit: congrats on getting so many constellations!

i have been here since 2020 and ima give some tips tip 1: it doesn't really make a difference if you level up nilou's talents unless you want dps, but if you want a bloom team that doesn't use to many recourse's yet does good dmg, 6,6,6 is good enough for nilou tip 2: most people sould know this but hyper bloom does more dmg than bloom itself if built correctly tip 3: use kuki for hyper bloom(i know she isnt the best for hyper bloom but so is keqing), and for bloom itself, the regular tean sould do the job just fine tip 4: if your teams are lacking application, then use a character that spreads certain elements easier, and faster thats all the tips i have for right now.

You did about 14k bloom at the end good progress. I would recommend you someone like Layla as a shield so you dont take bloom damage, you can replace xingqiu with her because the only bloom that are actually doing damage (Nilou's super blooms) can only be triggered by Nilou's hydro application

[@C4Oc.]

But then Nilou's A4 passive says goodbye and you have no more bountiful cores (requirements are only Hydro and Dendro teammates and at least one of each). Unless I read it wrong on the wiki, which can happen, but I better hope I remember correctly.

just finished rewatching swords only yesterday and java posts a new episode what a timing

[@jacobindeed9955]

while it may not be her best team, nilou can actually be a very effective hydro applicator in hyperbloom teams (especially with alhaitham and kuki) i currently use her with kuki, alhaitham, and a flexible last slot that works as either a cryo, hydro, dendro, or anemo. she applies hydro to all enemies nearby in nearly the same radius as a c1 kuki, and she fits perfectly into a rotation of Flex slot E/Q, Kuki E, Nilou E x3, Alhaitham E and normal attack, rinse/repeat. plus, if you use her as the sole hydro in a hyperbloom team, you can save xingqiu for your ayaka freeze team (P.S. build nilou with full HP artifacts and level 1 telents works just fine, plus filet blade once its ascended to 50/60 looks really pretty on her IMO)

[@gandalf9460]

The Padisarah picking timed to the music is very, very satisfying.

[@pokefan05]

Tip: Nilou's talents don't directly change the blooms, but your burst and e skill both scale off of her hp, and her burst can do quite a bit of damage if it hits multiple enemies. Leveling her talents, while not necessary, is still a damage increase

New sub here, just been binging your OnlySpells and OnlySwords series, and damn your VTuber avatar just looks like a barista that's just had it with everyone and everything, relatable. This OnlySwords series really speaks to me because for a while now the main team (AR 58 at the time of posting) that I've been running has been only sword users, not really as a challenge (though it has been quite challenging, experienced similar pains) but just as a "roleplay" thing. I've kinda just paired off my characters because I'm a degenerate shipper, please no flame. So I've ran Aether/Ayaka since pulling the latter and Bennett/Kuki for a bit before Layla showed up, found her more fitting, so swapped Kuki for Layla. May or may not swap Layla for Nilou, if I ever manage to pull her (HoYoverse please, don't deny me again, I'm at about 72 pity). I just felt like having my pairs running the same weapon would be cool, for this team only because of Aether/Ayaka. I know this isn't optimal, C6 Bennett makes things a little more difficult but I work around it. Dendro Traveler and Bennett burn so much they almost act like DPS together. I do have more meta-focused teams, but I know they're probably nowhere near Abyss ready. My heavily invested Ayaka still doesn't feel like she deals as much damage as she should (4pc Blizzard, C1, Anemona sword, lvl 90), even after being inspired to max out weapons and get more gold artifacts because of you. I just don't have all golds because my luck just isn't that good, I'm lucky that I got two golds that got decent stats (no def or def%). Though, after pushing her a bit further, I did go from ~2500 crit to ~4k crit. Idk if I'm doing something wrong or if it's just what I'm able to do with what I've got. I honestly have no idea how people can run bows, I'd like to see an "OnlyBows" series for my own education on the matter. I have a hard time wrapping my brain around bow gameplay because it's so different to everyone else, even catalysts. I can and do use bows on occasion when I have to, because I'm not a masochist. The other weapons all mostly play the same way, there's usually some sort of combo you need to run while weaving dodges in between attacks occasionally. Bows? Attacks are really slow and their utility from charged attacks is hampered by the movement penalty one receives when aiming, which just invites mobs to beat the crap out of you. Honestly the only bow user I could see myself running is Yoimiya, though I have had to use Tighnari for Dendro occasionally. Yoimiya's skill increases the DPS of her normals, allowing one to use her like a Yanfei or Klee, while bow users like Tighnari and Ganyu have the double charge for additional burst per shot, which is nice, but doesn't really do much as far as bow gameplay goes. Maybe I'm just dumb for not understanding it, I mean I clearly rather do swords only over using a bow if I had the choice. It just feels clunky and awkward to play in an action RPG where mobility is king. Someone please explain this to me, how are you people able to run bow users like Yelan and Ganyu without getting swarmed?
